Negative control system: Proportional solenoid
valves (PSV) use pilot pump oil (P3) thru the PSV
to control the servo piston of the pump by placing
force on the compensating spool in the pump
regulator to keep the pump at minium stroke. This
pressure is at a maximum range(465psi) and is
reduced to allow the stroke angle of the pump’s
rotating group to change from a low flow state to
a high flow state based on system working
pressure and electronic control of the PSV-1 and
PSV-2 by the main C-1 computer. Thus sense the
pressure is taken away ( negated) or subtracted
this is where the term negative control derives
from.
Positive control system: Proportional solenoid
valves (PSV) use pilot pump oil (P3) thru the PSV
to control the servo piston of the pump by placing
force on the compensating spool in the pump
regulator it forces the compensating spool to allow
pressure only to the small diameter end of the
servo piston to push the pump on stroke. This
pressure is at a minium range(80~100psi) at
neutral. PSV pressure is increased to allow the
stroke angle of the pump’s rotating group to
change from a low flow state to a high flow state
based on system working pressure and electronic
control of the PSV-1 and PSV-2 by the main C-1
computer. Thus sense the pressure is added (
addition) or increased this is where the term
positive control derives from.

 HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT DIAGRAM / Breaker (Option)
Fig. 6-1 SWING PRIORITY / Breaker (Option)
A. Pilot circuit — FIG. 3
1. The pilot gear pump delivery oil flows into P1 port of solenoids’ block (18).

2. The lever lock solenoid is actuated (Operator’s safety lock lever in the unlocked–down position) and the oil flows
through port (A1) into pilot valve (53) for breaker.

3. When pedal valve (53) is operated, pilot oil flows trhough port (A) into port (PAo1) located on the upper side of the
swing priority/breaker valve to switch the spool.

4. Concurrently, the voltage output by low pressure sensor (SE20), negative control sensors (SE26, and 27) and back
pressure (SE28) is sent to the mechatronic controller.

5. The command current from the mechatronic controller acts on P1 cut proportional valve (PSV-D), located on the
proportional solenoid valve block (18) and switches the P1 cut spool.

6. The command current from the mechatronic controller acts on P2 pump proportional valve (PSV-P2) and negative
control sensor (SE27) to reduce the pump flow to its minimum, when no other function (example: boom function) is
required.

7. The command current from the mechatronic controller acts on travel straight proportional valve A4 (PSV-C), located
on the proportional solenoid block (18) and switches the straight travel valve.

8. The command current from the mechatronic controller acts on P1 pump proportional valve (PSV-P1) and negative
control sensor (SE26) and back pressure sensor (SE28) to increase the pump P1 flow.

8. When boom raise and breaker operation are carried out concurrently, P2 pump acts on boom raise operation, since
the straight travel spool is shifted, making the boom raise operation possible.

B. Main circuit — FIG. 3 (Circuito principal)

1. P1 pump delivery oil flows through port (P1) of main control valve (50), passes through the straight travel spool, opens
load check valve (CT1), and flows into P1 parallel circuit on the upper stream of the travel straight section.

2. And the delivery oil opens load check valve (LCo1) and flows into the add on swing priority/breaker valve.

3. Because the swing priority/breaker valve is shifted, the delivery oil flows through the spool and is fed into the breaker
through (Ao1) port of main control valve (50) and stop valve (52), located on the arm side.

4. The return oil from attachment returns through stop valve (52) and flows directly into filter (50), used directly and
specially for the breaker application, located inside the hydraulic tank.

NOTE

Flow rate specifications for proper hammer operation vary upon hammer manufacturer. Refer to the hammer specifica-
tions and to section 2: Operation and Maintenance to set the appropiate flow rate for the specific hammer used.

 NIBBLER & BREAKER (Option)

NIBBLER/BREAKER VALVE – NIBBLER FUNCTION

A. Pilot circuit — FIG. 5

1. The pilot gear pump delivery oil flows into P1 port of solenoids’ block (18). es).

2. The lever lock solenoid is actuated (Operator’s safety lock lever in the unlocked–down position) and the oil flows
through port (A1) into pilot valve (53) for nibbler/breaker.

3. When pedal valve (53) is operated, pilot oil flows trhough port (A or B) into port (PBo2 or PAo2, respectively) located
on the lower side of the nibbler/breaker valve to switch the spool.

4. Concurrently, the voltage output by low pressure sensor (SE11), negative control sensors (SE26, and 27) and back
pressure (SE28) is sent to the mechatronic controller.

5. The command current from the mechatronic controller acts on P1 and P2 cut proportional valves (PSV-D) and (PSV-
B), located on the proportional solenoid valve block (18) to switche P1 and P2 cut spools.

6. The command current from the mechatronic controller acts on travel straight proportional valve A4 (PSV-C), located
on the proportional solenoid block (18) and switches the straight travel valve. (

7. The command current from the mechatronic controller acts on P1 and P2 pump proportional valves (PSV-P1) and
(PSV-P2), negative control sensors (SE26) and (SE27) and back pressure sensor (SE28) to increase pumps P1 and
P2 flow.
8. When boom raise and nibbler operation are carried out concurrently, P1 pump acts on boom raise operation,
making the boom raise operation possible.

B. Main circuit (Combined flow) — FIG. 5

1. P1 and P2 pump delivery oil flows through ports (P1) and (P2) of main control valve (50), flows into P2 by-pass parallel
circuit on the upper stream of the travel straight section, since the travel straight spool is shifted.

2. P1 and P2 by-pass circuits are closed because P1 and P2 cut spools are shifted. Therefore, the delivery oil from P1
opens load check valve (CT2), and the delivery oil from P2 opens load check valve (CP2); thus, the combined oil
delivery flows into P2 parallel circuit.

3. And the delivery oil opens load check valve (LCo2) on the serial add–on valve and flows into nibbler/breaker spool.

4. Because the nibbler/breaker spool is shifted, the delivery oil flows through the spool and is fed into the breaker
through (Bo2 or Ao2) port of main control valve (50) and stop valve (52), located on the arm side.

5. The return oil from attachment returns through stop valve (52), through selector control valve (51), through nibbler/
breaker valve, through oil cooler, and into filter (50), used directly and specially for the nibbler/breaker application,
located inside the hydraulic tank.
