PRECAUTIONS DURING WORK

13. Before starting work, remove the leads from the battery. ALWAYS remove the lead from
the negative (-) terminal first.
14. When raising heavy components, use a hoist or crane.
Check that the wire rope, chains and hooks are free from damage.
Always use lifting equipment which has ample capacity.
Install the lifting equipment at the correct places. Use a hoist or crane and operate slowly
to prevent the component from hitting any other part. Do not work with any part still
raised by the hoist or crane.
15. When removing covers which are under internal pressure or under pressure from a spring,
always leave two bolts in position on opposite sides. Slowly release the pressure, then
slowly loosen the bolts to remove.
16. When removing components, be careful not to break or damage the wiring, Damaged
wiring may cause electrical fires.
17. When removing piping, stop the fuel or oil from spilling out. If any fuel or oil drips on to
the floor, wipe it up immediately. Fuel or oil on the floor can cause you to slip, or can
even start fires.
18. As a general rule, do not use gasoline to wash parts.
19. Be sure to assemble all parts again in their original places. Replace any damaged part
with new parts.
• When installing hoses and wires, be sure that they will not be damaged by contact
with other parts when the machine is being operated.
20. When installing high pressure hoses, make sure that they are not twisted. Damaged tubes
are dangerous, so be extremely careful when installing tubes for high pressure circuits.
Also check that connecting parts are correctly installed.
21. When assembling or installing parts, always use the specified tightening torques. When
installing protective parts such as guards, or parts which vibrate violently or rotate at high
speed, be particularly careful to check that they are installed correctly.
22. When aligning two holes, never insert your fingers or hand. Be careful not to get your
fingers caught in a hole.
23. When measuring hydraulic pressure, check that the measuring tool is correctly assembled
before taking any measurements.
24. Take care when removing or installing the tracks of track-type machines. When removing
the track, the track separates suddenly, so never let anyone stand at either end of the
track.

ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION Environment NOTICE

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY OPERATION


AND MAINTENANCE OF HYDRAULIC MINING SHOVELS

OPERATION

• Avoid engine idling over long periods. Long periods of idling, more than 10 minutes,
will not only waste fuel, but is also harmful to the engine.
• Avoid operation against the main relief valves of the hydraulic system. Move control
lever to neutral position before the loader attachment stalls due to overload.
• Position trucks in such a way, that loading operation can be carried out in a safe and
economic manner. Avoid swing angles over 90°.

MAINTENANCE

• Preserve our environment. To prevent environmental pollution, pay careful attention


to the method of disposing waste materials.
• Always drain fluids from your machine into containers. Never drain fluids onto the
ground or dump it into the sewage system, rivers, the sea or lakes.
• Dispose of harmful material, such as oil, fuel, coolant, solvent, filters and batteries in
accordance with environmental regulations and laws.

FOREWORD HOISTING INSTRUCTIONS

HOISTING INSTRUCTIONS
HOISTING
• Heavy parts (25 kg or more) must be lifted with a hoist etc.

) • If a part cannot be smoothly removed from the machine by hoisting,


the following checks should be made:
1. Check for removal of all bolts fastening the part to the relative
parts.
2. Check for existence of another part causing interface with the part
to be removed.

WIRE ROPES

1. Use adequate ropes depending on the weight of parts to be hoisted, referring


to the table below:

Wire ropes
(Standard "Z" or "S" twist ropes without galvanizing)
Rope diameter 10,0 11,2 12,5 14,0 16,0 18,0 20,0 22,4 30,0 40,0 50,0 60,0
[mm]
Allowable 1,0 1,4 1,6 2,2 2,8 3,6 4,4 5,6 10,0 18,0 28,0 40,0
load [tons]

) • The allowable load value is estimated to be 1/6 or 1/7 of the breaking


strength of the rope used.

2. Sling wire ropes from the middle portion of the hook. Slinging near the edge
of the hook may cause the rope to slip off the hook during hoisting, and a
serious accident can result. Hooks have maximum strength at the middle
portion.

FOREWORD HOISTING INSTRUCTIONS

WIRE ROPES

3. Do not sling a heavy load with one rope alone, but sling with two or more
ropes symmetrically wound on to the load.

ã
• Slinging with one rope may cause turning of the load during hoisting,
untwisting of the rope, or slipping of the rope from its original
winding position on the load, which can result in a dangerous
accident.

4. Do not sling a heavy load with ropes forming a wide hanging angle from the
hook. When hoisting a load with two or more ropes, the force subjected to
each rope will increase with the hanging angles. The table below shows the
variation of allowable load (kg) when hoisting is made with two ropes, each of
which is allowed to sling up to 1000 kg vertically, at various hanging angles.
When two ropes sling a load vertically, up to 2000 kg of total weight can be
suspended. This weight becomes 1000 kg when two ropes make a 120°
hanging angle. On the other hand, two ropes are subject to an excessive force
as large as 4000 kg if they sling a 2000 kg load at a lifting angle of 150.

CONVERSION TABLE

METHOD OF USING THE CONVERSION TABLE


The Conversion Table in this section is provided to enable simple conversion of
figures. For details of the method of using the Conversion Table, see the example
given below.

EXAMPLE

Method of using the Conversion Table to convert from millimeters to inches.

1. Convert 55 mm into inches.


(a) Locate the number 5 in the vertical column at the left side, take this as (A),
then draw a horizontal line from (A).
(b) Locate the number 5 in the row across the top, take this as (B), then draw a
perpendicular line down from (B).
(c) Take the point where the two lines cross as (C). This point (C) gives the
value when converting from millimeters to inches.
Therefore, 55 millimeters = 2.165 inches.

2. Convert 550 mm into inches.


(a) The number 550 does not appear in the table, so divide by 10 (move the
decimal one place to the left) to convert it to 55 mm.
(b) Carry out the same procedure as above to convert 55 mm to 2.165 inches.
(c) The original value (550 mm) was divided by 10, so multiply 2.165 inches
by 10 (move the decimal one place to the right) to return to the original
value. This gives 550 mm = 21.65 inches.

2.1 Engine mounts

Cont'd
Lubrication The flexible bearings are installed to take the vibrations, the
torsion forces and to carry the total weight of the engines.

Check mounting and security of both Diesel engines (Z 21601a)

• Check all flexible bearings (1) for both engines.


Check the flexible bearings for damage and signs of fatigue. Make sure that there
is no contact between the upper and lower metal brackets of the flexible bearings
(1). Replace the bearings if necessary. Use new bolts and self locking nuts (2).
After new flexible bearings have been installed, check distance (A) on both torque
supports.

) • All flexible bearings (1) and all rubber-bounded metal bars (4) should
be replaced during engine overhaul.

• Check distance (A) between torque support and stop bolt (5).
With setting of the flexible engine bearings (1) the distance (A) increases and
must be readjusted. To do this, loosen lock nut (7) and tighten stop bolt (5) until
the correct distance (A) is obtained. Tighten lock nut (7) and recheck distance
(A).
If new flexible engine bearings (1) have been installed, replace also cup springs
(6) and adjust distance (A) to 29 mm.

• Check tie bolts (2) on front and rear carrier units for looseness.
Check to make sure that the self locking retainer nuts (3) are tight and that there is
no gap between nut and rubber-bounded metal bar (4). If necessary retighten
retainer nuts (3) snugly.
Check rubber-bounded metal bars (4) for signs of fatigue and damage.
Replace as necessary.

) • Check all bolt connections for correct tightening torque.


• Check condition of engine carrier and brackets. If any damages, failures
or wrong condition are found, corrective action must be taken.
• For more information, refer to Parts & Service News REF NO AH01521.

(2) Splined shaft yoke
(3) Flange yoke
(4) Spider with bearings
(5) Grease nipple and relieve valve for slip yoke
(6) Grease nipple for universal joints

General
The drive shaft must transmit the torque from the engine to the PTO.
This requirement makes it necessary that the drive shaft be capable of
transmitting the maximum torque developed by the engine.
It must also be capable of rotating at the maximum speed required for
operation. The length of the drive shaft must be capable of changing while
transmitting torque.

) • When assembling the splined shaft yoke and the slip yoke make sure
the yokes are aligned in the same plane.
Tolerance: 2° 30’ (= 1 tooth of the splined shaft)
The exact position of the yokes is marked by arrows (see illustration)
• Do not remove sheet metal balancing weights from tube of drive shaft.
Balance errors will result in destruction.
• For service intervals and lubrication procedure refer to the
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL of the corresponding
machine.

E Engine side
G Gearbox side (PTO-side)

Task:
The flexible coupling is the connecting link between the engine and the PTO

Function:
The combination of the high elasticity of its leaf springs with complimentary
viscous damping by oil displacement, ensures that the coupling reduces the
intensity of torsional vibrations effectively.
The widest engine speed range free of vibration periods and dangerous
resonance’s is thus obtained.
The springs (3) together with the inner driving and outer driven member form
chambers A and B which are filled with oil.
If the outer member is displaced in relation to the inner member, the
deflection of the leaf springs displaces oil from one chamber to the next, by
this action the relative movements of the two members of the coupling are
braked and the vibrations are dampened.
The spacers (8) limits the movement of the leaf springs.

element (4) and a safety element (7).

The filter condition is monitored by the maintenance switch (10).


A fault message like „Engine air filter restricted“ is displayed at the
operator's dash board as soon as the restriction is too high.

The wing nut (6) incorporates a service indicator.


Green indication = O.K.
Red indication = safety element (7) needs maintenance.
The indication mark must be re-set by blowing through the nut opposite to the
normal air flow or by sucking at the other end, this can be done with the
mouth.

Function:
From pump (10.2 / 10.4) flows the oil through the filter (68.3 / 68.5) to the fan motor
(64.1 – 64.4) and then back to the tank.
Anti cavitation valves (check valves) are installed at each fan motor, because the fan
motors - driven by inertial force - are running for a short period after the engine has
been switched off.
The hydraulic circuit "Fan drive" is secured by the pilot controlled pressure relief
valve (45.3 / 45.4). This valve works together with the proportional solenoid valve
(Y136-1 / -2). The proportional solenoid valve (Y136-1 / -2) operates depending on
engine coolant temperature.
The ECM (Electronic Control Module) of the engine controls the proportional
solenoid valve (Y136-1 / -2) by sending variable current signals, depending on the
engine coolant temperature.
Which in turn changes the fan speed.

With a low current signal to the proportional solenoid the relief valve is functioning
and the fans are running with the max. set- speed. With a high current signal to the
proportional solenoid the relief valve is not functioning and the fans are running with
a very low speed, caused by the flow resistance only.

) • Basic adjustment has to be carried out whenever one of the following


components has been replaced:
- pump
- relief valve
- hydraulic motor
1. Reduce the output flow of pump (10.2 /10.4), by adjusting the minimum
possible swivel angle, to avoid over speeding the fan:
To do this, loosen both lock nuts (6.1 + 7.1) and turn out bolt (6)
and turn in bolt (7) the same length.
This is necessary to avoid a loose positioning pin (8), resulting in
oscillating of the cylinder barrel.
Tighten the lock nuts.
2. Remove protection cap (1) from relief valve (45.3 / 45.4), loosen lock nut (2)
and turn set screw (3) fully clockwise and then a half turn counter clockwise.
3. Isolate the function of proportional solenoid valve (Y136-1 / -2), by
disconnecting the plug connector, to ensure that the full flow of the pump
(10.2 /10.4) will be delivered to the fan motor.
4. Connect a pressure gauge to check point (M7-1 / -2).
5. Start the engine and let it run with max. speed.

6. Check the fan speed with a non-contact rev counter


Required fan speed: 1400 min-1

ã • Be careful not to get caught in the fan or other rotating parts

7. Increase the output flow of pumps (10.2 /10.4), by adjusting the swivel
angle, until the fan speed will be 20 min-1 higher than required:
To do this, loosen both lock nuts (6.1 + 7.1) and turn in bolt (6)
and turn out bolt (7) the same length.
This is necessary to avoid a loose positioning pin (8), resulting in
oscillating of the cylinder barrel.
Tighten the lock nuts (6.1 + 7.1).

ã • Do not exceed the maximum permissible operating pressure of 230bar.

) • Note down the lengths ”L1” and ”L2” as reference measurements.

8. Loosen lock nut (2) of the relief valve (45.3 / 45.4), and decrease the
pressure with set screw (3) until the correct fan speed is obtained.
9. Tighten lock nut (2) and fix protection cap (3).
10. Activate the function of proportional solenoid valve (Y136-1 / -2), by
connecting the plug connector. (Fan speed controlled in relation to the
engine temperature)
11. Disconnect the pressure gauge from check point (M7-1 / -2).

Fan speed check


If the fan speed is out of adjustment, increase or decrease first the pressure at
relief valve (45.3 / 45.4), to change the speed.

ã • Do not exceed the maximum permissible operating pressure of 230bar.

If the speed can not be raised by increasing the pressure then increase the output
flow of pump (10.2 /10.4).

Description
The pump distribution gear (PTO gear) is of a spur gear design and driven by a
diesel engine.
The PTO gear runs in antifriction bearings and has been provided with a splash
lubrication system. The oil supply of the bearings and tooth contacts takes
place by an injection. The gearwheels are of case-hardened steel.
The hydraulic pumps are directly attached to the gearbox. O-rings included in
the supply enable the unit to be reliably sealed statically.
The gearbox housing is of one-piece design and made of grey cast iron. Gearbox
design allows a direct attachment to the engine via connection flange.
The gearbox has been provided with connections for a separate cooling system
resp. for heating rods. For more information refer to the REPAIR MANUAL
Description for the lubrication see next pages.

(1) Oil filler plug with breather pipe of pump drive shaft housing
(2) Oil level plug of pump drive shaft housing
(3) Oil drain plug of pump drive shaft housing
(A) Configuration, main pump drives
(B) Configuration, auxiliary pump drives

All drive shaft housings are filled with the same gear oil as the pump
distributor gear.

This is done for two reasons:


1. To lubricate the multi-spline connections, to prevent wear and corrosion.
2. It makes it easier to determine a sealring leak at one of the drive shaft
connections.

Function:
If the oil level increases the oil drops out of the breather pipe (1).
If this oil is gear oil it indicates a possible leak at the gearbox side.
If the oil is a mixture of gear oil and hydraulic oil it shows a possible
leak at the pump side.
If at an oil level check a loss of oil is found it may be due to worn or
defective radial seal rings.

2.9 PTO Lubrication and cooling


The machine is equipped with two engines and gearboxes. The engine to the front
is called engine 1 and the engine close to the counter weight is called engine 2. The
extension of the component designation shows the mounted position. Example:
Pressure filter (69.1) is the pressure filter for the PTO lubrication of engine 1 and
(69.2) for engine 2.

(M21-1+M21-2) Pressure check point (fan speed)
(P) Pressure port
(Y53-1+ Y53-2) Solenoid valve
Function:
Pump (9.2)/(9.4) forces the gear oil from the gear oil pan through filter
(69.1)/(69.2) to pressure relief valve (74.1)/(74.2). This pressure relief valve acts
as a back pressure valve causing that most of the oil passes through the gear oil
coolers (117.1)/(117.2).
The gear oil coolers are assemblies consisting of frame, cooler element, hydraulic
motor with intake air fan and fan guard. The units are located below the catwalk
in front of the PTO’s.
From the coolers the oil flows to the port (P) of the gear and internally via a
system of pipes to the several spray nozzles. The spray nozzles in the gear case
ensure proper and adequate distribution of the lube oil. The circuit is monitored
by the pressure switches (B17-1)/(B17-2). At too low lube oil pressure (0.5 bar), a
fault message will be displayed on the monitor at the dash board.
The gear oil temperature is monitored by the sensor unit (B49-1) (B49-2). At too
high oil temperature a fault message will be displayed on the monitor at the dash
board.
During the warm up period solenoid valve (Y53-1) (Y53-2) is energised so that
port X of pressure relive valve (74.1) (74.2) is open, which results in less oil flow
through the cooler which causes that the oil gets quicker its optimum operating
temperature.

Task:
The strainer (monitored by differential pressure switch B165) is installed to
prevent the hydraulic oil coolers from getting clogged up in case of
contamination in the main return circuit oil.
Excessive increase of the hydraulic oil temperature can be an indication for a
restricted strainer, i.e. bad cooling performance due to insufficient oil flow
through the coolers.
In case that main components such as cylinders or motors are internal
fragmentary damaged, the strainer should be inspected for metal chips.

Task:
The back pressure valve has to fulfill two functions in the hydraulic system:
1. To ensure a sufficient pressure within the return oil circuit, i.e. to supply
oil via the anticavitaton valves to the low pressure side of cylinders,
respectively motors.
2. To force the return oil through the coolers depending on the present
hydraulic oil temperature, controlled by solenoid valve Y101.
- Low temperature ⇒ low volume through the coolers
- High temperature ⇒ high volume through the coolers

) • Further information about the function principle and adjustments,

Functions of the Transfer Pump:


1 - Transfusing the oil from the return oil compartment and leakage oil
filter chamber into the main oil reservoir.
Necessary for filter service and for hydraulic oil change.
2 - Transfusing oil from return oil collector tube and back-pressure valve
pipe into main oil reservoir. Necessary when changing the hydraulic oil
and prior to servicing the high pressure filters, the main control valves,
or hydraulic oil cooler (oil return system).
3 - Transfusing oil from the suction oil reservoir into the main oil reservoir.
Necessary for evacuation of the suction oil reservoir, when changing
the hydraulic oil. Prior servicing the main hydraulic pumps it is
advisable to empty the suction oil reservoir partially.

) • During normal operation the valves (1, 2 and 3) must be in closed


position ”C”.

(13) Self locking nut
Function:
The returning oil flows into the filter chamber (A) of the hydraulic tank. (The
sketch shows one section only).
The chamber is split into two sections; one section with 4 filter elements for the
return oil (10 micron) and another section with one filter element for the leak oil
(3 micron). But the structure of the five filter assemblies is basically the same.
The hydraulic oil enters the filter at the top and passes then on its way to the
entire tank the filter-element (7). "Inside to outside filtration."
The filter element condition is monitored by a pressure switch (B25, 0.5 bar for
the leak oil filter) and (B26, 2 bar for the return oil filter).
As soon as the pressure inside the filter chamber reaches the set pressure of those
switches due to the restriction of the filter-element which is caused by foreign
matters, the fault message ”Return oil filter restricted" or ”Leak oil filter
restricted” is displayed at the operator's dash board The filter elements must be
replaced. For safety pre-cautions the filter is equipped with a by-pass valve. As
the filter chamber pressure increases the by-pass valve opens at 2.3 bar and
protects the element from bursting.
But the oil flows not totally unfiltered into the tank because it must flow through
the strainer (8).

)
The switch point of the pressure switch for the leak oil has been
chosen so low with best intention to protect first of all the radial seal
rings of the hydraulic motors.

in one frame. The air stream needed for the cooling is produced by
hydraulically driven fans. The air flows from inside to outside through
the coolers.
For easy cleaning, the coolers can be opened. ("Swing out cooler")
The bearing group housing is filled with oil to lubricate the bearings.

B. Additional oil cooler assembly (2) with two cooler elements mounted in
one frame on top of the standard cooler assembly. The air stream needed
for the cooling is produced by hydraulically driven fans. The air flows
from inside to outside through the coolers.
For easy cleaning, the coolers can be opened. ("Swing out cooler")

(M15) Pressure check point
(Y101) Solenoid valve – 4/2-directional control valve
(H) Lines to cooler (hot oil)
(C) Lines to tank (cold oil)

Function:
The returning oil from the system flows via the lines into the collector tube.
On the top of it is the Back Pressure Valve (26) installed.
The back pressure valve (26) causes a back pressure which forces most of the
relative hot oil through the lines (H) to the cooler (106.1 – 106.8).
The hydraulic oil passes first the restrictors (107.1 – 107.4) before it gets
cooled in the cooler elements and flows than through and the lines (C) into
the filter chamber of the main oil reservoir (96).
The restrictors are acting like shock absorbers and prevent together with the
pulsation damper (93) cooler cracking at pressure peaks.
Besides the back pressure valve acts as an oil flow control valve as far as the
oil temperature has not reached its steady temperature.
During the warm up period (1/2 Qmax) the back pressure valve (26) is wide
open, because solenoid valve Y101 is energized, which results in less oil flow
through the cooler which causes that the oil gets quicker its optimum
operating temperature.
With increasing oil temperature the oil gets thinner, so that the main pumps
can be shifted to Qmax position and simultaneously solenoid valve Y101 will
be de-energized, so that the valve piston will be more closed by the force of
the spring thus that more oil passes the cooler.
(See sectional drawing on page 5.)

Function:
Oil delivery of both fan drive pumps (10.1+10.3) is directed to the additional cooler
elements (151.1+151.2) after leaving the four fan drive motors (103.3+103.4 and
152.1+152.2) and flows back into the filter chamber of the main oil reservoir (96).
This ensures that a constant oil volume circulates through the additional cooler,
independent of the main return oil flow.

4.3 Back Pressure Valve

4.3.2 ½ Qmax adjustment

For efficient hydraulic oil cooling during idle time all pumps are automatically in
½ Qmax position reducing the circulating oil volume so that oil flows only
through the oil coolers. If all pumps would stay in Qmax position during idle time
a high amount of the circulating oil would pass the back pressure valve before
returning in the oil tank this would waste energy and create adverse high oil
temperatures.

• Before ½ Qmax adjustment is made the back pressure valve must be


correct adjusted with all pumps in Qmax position and hydraulic oil
at operating temperature.
• All main pumps must be correctly adjusted i.e. start of de-stroking
and Qmax stop bolt setting. See section 7 in this Service Manual for
adjustment procedure.

Precondition
• The actual PLC software with ½ Qmax idle control must run on the PLC.
• Make sure that the filled in hydraulic oil viscosity is selected at the PLC.
See Operation and Maintenance Manual to select the oil viscosity.

Procedure:

1. Connect a pressure gauge to back pressure check point (M15).


2. Connect a pressure gauges to the X3 pressure check point (M36).
3. Start both motors (both diesel engines must run at high idle)
4. Warm up hydraulic oil so that the hydraulic oil cooler fans run with
maximum speed, controlled by the PLC (oil temperature above T3).
5. With all controls in neutral position the pumps should move in ½ Qmax

6. Unplug solenoid valve Y17a to keep the valve de-energised.

8. Check back pressure at test point M15.


– if the pressure is lower as the required normal back pressure of 10bar
continue with next item Nr.9.
– if the pressure shows the required normal back pressure of 10bar
decrease the X3 pressure setting with pressure reducing valve (244.4)
until the back pressure drop to a lower pressure as 10bar.
a) Loosen lock nut.
b) Correct the pressure with the set screw.
- turn clock wise (cw) to increase the pressure
- turn counter clock wise (ccw) to decrease the pressure
c) Tighten lock nut.

9. Increase pump delivery by increasing the X3 pressure setting of pressure


reducing valve (255.4) which in turn increases the back pressure. As
soon as the gauge (M15) shows 10 bar (equal to back pressure valve
setting) stop adjustment.
10. Check the resulting X3 pressure at test point M36 and record it for later
checks, the values must be distinctly lower as the max X3 pressure (45
bar).
11. Check the back pressure after activating a control lever or activate Qmax
switch S155. The pumps change now to Qmax but the back pressure
must stay constant at 10 bar (check point M15).
12. Turn switch S155 back to normal operating position (center position) and
remove all gauges.

Function:
From pump (10.1 + 10.3) flows the oil through the filter (68.2 + 68.4) to the fan
motors (23.1 + 23.2) and then back to the tank. (or through additional cooler if
installed)
The check valve (103.3 + 103.4) act as an anti cavitation valve and is installed,
because the fan motor -driven by inertial force- is running for a short period after the
oil flow is interrupted by solenoid valve (Y6a/b-1 / -2), or if the motor has been
switched off.
The hydraulic circuit "Fan drive" is protected by the pilot controlled pressure relief
valves (45.1 + 45.2) and (48.1 + 48.2).
These valves are working together with the solenoid valve (Y6a/b-1 / -2), controlled
by the ECS - system, depending on the hydraulic oil temperature:
• With de-energized solenoids Y6a and Y6b the relief valve (45.1 + 45.2) is
functioning and the fans are running with max. adjusted speed (1250 RPM)
• With solenoid Y6a energized the relief valve (45.1 + 45.2) is not functioning
and the fans are running with a very low speed caused by the flow resistance
only.
• With solenoid Y6b energized the relief valve (48.1 + 48.2) is controlling the
relief valve (45.1 + 45.2) and the fans are running with 1000 RPM only.

Function:
Pressure in line A affects the main piston (7). At the same time there is pressure
via the jet bore (6) on the spring-loaded side of the main piston and via jet bore (5)
at the pilot poppet (9) of the relief valve cartridge (1).
If system pressure in line A exceeds the value set at the spring (2), pilot poppet (9)
opens. The signal for this comes from line A via the jet bores (6) and (5).
The oil on the spring-loaded side of the main piston (7) now flows via the jet bore
(5) and poppet (9) into the spring chamber (3).
From here it is fed internally by means of the control line (Y) to tank (port B).
Due to the state of equilibrium at the main piston (7), oil flows from line A to line
B, while the set operating pressure is maintained.
The pressure relief valve (45.1 + 45.2) can be unloaded (Remote controlled) by
means of the port "X" and the combined function of solenoid valve Y6a/b-1 / -2
with pressure relief valve 48.1 + 48.2 .( Function see next page)

Function:
With de-energized solenoids (Y6a and Y6b), the spool (3) keeps the "X"
connection of valve (45.1 + 45.2) and port “B“ to port “P“ closed. The pressure relief
valve (45.1 + 45.2) operates normal.

The energized solenoid Y6b, operate the spool (3) and a connection is made
between port “P“ and port “B“ and port "X" of valve (45.1 + 45.2).
The system pressure now opens the main piston (7) of valve (45.1 + 45.2), because
via solenoid Y6b (P to B) the oil from the rear side of piston (7) flows from the "X"-
port to the “P“ connection of valve (48.1 + 48.2). The normal valve function is now
remote controlled by the pressure adjusted at valve (48.1 + 48.2).

The energized solenoid Y6a, operate the spool (3) and a connection is made
between port “P“ and port “A” and port "X" of relief valve (45.1 + 45.2).
The system pressure now opens the main piston (7) of valve (45.1 + 45.2) because
via the "X"-port the oil from the rear side of piston (7) flows to tank. The normal
relief valve function is eliminated.

Description.
Pump type A7F0 is a variable displacement pump, designed to operate in open
circuits. It has an internal case drain return. The rotary group is a robust self
aspirating unit. External forces may be applied to the drive shaft.
Changing the swivel angle of the rotary group is achieved by sliding the
control lens along a cylindrical formed track by means of an adjusting screw.
• With an increase in the swivel angel, the pump output increase together
with necessary drive torque.
• With an decrease in the swivel angel, the pump output decreases together
with the necessary drive torque.

• When increasing to maximum swivel angle, there is a danger of


cavitation and over-speeding the hydraulic motor!

) • Basic adjustment has to be carried out whenever one of the following


components has been replaced:
- pump
- relief valve
- hydraulic motor
1. Reduce the output flow of pump (10.1 and/or 10.2), by adjusting the
minimum possible swivel angle, to avoid over speeding the fan:
To do this, loosen both lock nuts (6.1 + 7.1) and turn out bolt (6)
and turn in bolt (7) the same length.
This is necessary to avoid a loose positioning pin (10), resulting in
oscillating of the cylinder barrel.
Tighten the lock nuts.
2. Remove protection cap (a) from relief valve (45.1 and/or 45.2), loosen lock
nut (b) and turn set screw (c) fully clockwise and then a half turn counter

4.5.1 Function of the cooler fan RPM control

Since the oil delivery of the fan drive pumps (10.1 + 10.3) is used for the standard
fan motors 23.1 + 23.2 and for the additional fan motors 152.1 + 152.2, the speed
of the additional fans depends on the speed control of the standard fans.
Therefore only the maximum speed of the additional fans can be adjusted with the
cooler standard fans running at maximum speed.
The maximum speed adjustment of the additional fans must be carried out to
ensure the intended cooling performance of the system.

4.5.2 Adjustment of the cooler fan drive speed

• Precondition for this adjustment is the correct setting of the standard


) cooler fan drive.

Procedure:
1. Connect a pressure gauge to check point (M21-3 and/or M21-4).
2. Unplug solenoid valve (Y6a/b-1 and/or Y6a/b-2). to ensure max.
speed of the standard fan drive.
3. Start the respective motor.
4. Adjust* at valve (154.1 and/or 154.2.3) a fan speed of approx. 1550 rpm.
5. Re-plug solenoid valve (Y6.1 and/or Y6.2).

• Be careful not to get caught in the fan or other rotating parts!

How to change the valve adjustment:


Remove dust cap (a).
Loosen lock nut (b).
Adjust the pressure with set screw (c).
Tighten lock nut and install dust cap.

General
The controlling includes the pilot pressure system and the pump regulation
system.
The pumps (9.1 / 9.3) forcing the oil through the filters (68.1 / 68.7) to all
involved valves.
The pressure accumulator (85) ensures that under any circumstances enough
pilot pressure oil is available. The accumulator (85) is also functioning as a
hydraulic battery for a certain time when the engine was shut down or to
pressure relieve the system for repair works.
When the operator is using his controls an electrical signal causes energizing
of the selected solenoid valve of the remote control valves(102).
By the function of the remote control valves pilot pressure oil is send to the
relevant control block spools which in turn allows operating hydraulic oil to
the users.

5.2 Pilot Pressure Supply and Adjustments

Pilot Pressure Circuit, illustration (Z 22747)

The pilot pressure oil is used for the following functions.


To move the control block spools, to supply the main pump regulation system, to
lubricate the main pump bearings, to release the travel- and swing gear house
brakes (spring loaded multi disk brakes), to operate the hydraulic access ladder, to
drive the grease pumps and to supply the hydraulic track tensioning system.

Function: Study together with the hydraulic circuit diagram


The pumps (9.1 + 9.3) are delivering the oil through the filters (68.1 + 68.7) and
via check valves (252.3 + 252.4) to port A of pressure relief valve (252.2).
The pressure relief valve (252.2) maintains the adjusted pressure of 60 bar, called
„X4“-pressure.
X4 - pressure: Pump support pressure
Pump bearing lubrication
Actuation of refilling arm and ladder
Lubrication system

The pressure reducing valve (252.1) maintains the adjusted pressure of 45 bar,
called „X2“-pressure.
X2 – pressure: Pilot pressure system
Pump regulation system
Travel- and Swing parking brakes (spring loaded multi -disk
brakes)

The pressure accumulator (85) holds an amount of oil under pressure to provide
sufficient pilot pressure during normal operation and to ensure a limited number
of lowering operations with the main drive Engine at standstill.
The check valve (256.6) prevents return flow of the pilot pressure oil.

valves.
These solenoid valves are energized by the function of the Electro
proportional controls (Joy sticks or pedals) and direct the pilot pressure oil to
the respective spools of the main control blocks with a variable pilot pressure
proportional to the deflection of the controls.

) • Since the “X2” and the “X4” pressure are influencing each other it is
always necessary to adjust both valves 252.1 + 252.2 alternately.

60 bar pressure „X4“, valve 252.2:


1. Connect pressure gauge to check point (M1.1)
2. Start both engines.
3. Read pressure, required = 60-2 bar
If readjustment is required proceed as follow:
a) Loosen lock nut (1).
b) Set pressure with set screw (2).
c) Tighten lock nut (1).

45 bar pressure „X2“, valve 252.1:


1. Connect pressure gauge to check point (M1.2)
2. Start both enginess.
3. Read pressure, required = 45+3 bar
If readjustment is required proceed as follow:
a) Loosen lock nut (3).
b) Set pressure with set screw (4).
c) Tighten lock nut (3).

Checking of Accumulator Function


1. Connect pressure gauge to check point (M2).
2. Start both engines.
3. After build-up of pressure stop the drive engines, but do not turn the
key switch to zero position.
4. Watch pressure gauge. Pressure should remain constant for at
least 5 minutes.

) • If the pressure droops the system must be checked for leakages.

(12) Control lever (Potentiometer control)

Function:
The electric-hydraulic control system is used to control the direction and
volume of oil flow to the operating cylinders and engines via the control
valve blocks.
Hydraulically:
The oil volume of pump (1) flows through filter (2) into the pilot pressure
system. The pressure is limited by the pressure relief valve (3).
With the pressurized oil stored in accumulator (5), a limited number of spool
movements can be carried out with the main drive engine at standstill.
When a lever (or pedal) is actuated, proportional solenoid valve (8) and one
of the directional solenoid valves (either 6 or 7) are energized, and allows the
pilot pressure oil to flow to the spools of the control blocks.
Electrical
Whenever a lever or a pedal is moved out of its neutral position, an amplifier
will created a current between 0 and 1000 mA. (For detailed information refer
to page 11 in this section)
Depending on the lever direction, simultaneously one of the directional
solenoid valves (either 6 or 7) is energized.
The proportional solenoid valve alters the pilot pressure, proportional to the
lever deflection, this results a spool movement between neutral and full
stroke position.

(3) Ramp time module
(4) Proportional-Amplifier-Module
(5) Relay (Supply Voltage)
(6) Proportional solenoid valve-(Pressure-Reducing Valve)
(7) Directional solenoid valve
(8) Control block spool

General Function
Control lever (1) is supplied with 24 VDC battery voltage for the switch contacts
and with 24 VDC capacitor supported to create the signal voltage.
When moving lever (1) out of its neutral position, 24 VDC battery voltage arrives
at relay (5) and energizes the Proportional Amplifier (4) with capacitor
supported 24 VDC via terminal 1.
Depending on the function of the control lever, 1 to 4 Amplifiers can be involved
for the „Y-axis“ (forward/ backwards direction) and 1 to 4 Amplifiers for the „X-
axis“ (left/right direction.)
The polarity of the Output Signal from joystick (1), either positive or negative,
between 0 and 10 VDC indicates the direction of the lever movement and is
proportional to the lever deflection. This is the Input Signal to the ramp time
module (3) at terminal 5 which will arrive after the adjusted ramp time delay via
terminal 7 to the proportional amplifier (4) at terminal 5.
This Input Signal (between 0 and 10 VDC) is amplified to an Output Signal
between 0 to 1000 mA and is simultaneously send via terminal 7 (negative) or
terminal 8 (positive) to the Proportional Solenoid valve (6) and to the
Directional solenoid valve (7) via terminal 3 (negative) or terminal 9 (positive)
to the “a” or “b”-side.
The proportional Solenoid valve (6) alters the pilot pressure (“X2”) of 45 bar to a
value proportional to the Current Signal.
This pressure controls the movement of the control block spool (8) between
neutral and full stroke position.

The non-contacting lever control (inductive linear transmitter) contains both


the electronic and mechanical components which converts the lever
movement into a proportional electrical voltage. The lever can be operate in
two axes:
Axis "Y", splitted into the half axis Y- and Y + (backward and forward)
Axis "X", splitted into the half axis X- and X + (left and right)
Of course the lever can be moved in any other direction (Joy stick function)

In order to be able to monitor the direction of the lever movement and the
neutral position, the electronics (8) sends a 24V signal as soon as the lever
gets moved out of its neutral position.

For one axis are used two inductive linear transmitter (3). The motion of the
coil core (9) connected to the push pin (6) causes a variation of the induction
in the coils (10). The electronics convert this inductive signal into a
proportional output signal of –10...0...+10 V for the amplifiers.

The electronic part of the lever is equipped with a internal fault detector. In
case of a internal electronic fault the electronic send a 24V signal to the test
output. The test input is used for a lever system check before engine start.
The inductive system is designed as a redundant system with two separate
coils.

Application for:
(A) Swing foot brake
(B) Clam Opening/closing
(C) Travelling

The Potentiometer Control (inductive, linear travel transmitter) contains both


the electronic and mechanical components which converts the pedal movement
into a proportional electrical voltage.

In order to be able to electrically monitor the pedal (2) action a neutral position
switch is fitted.
This switch closes when the pedal is moved out of the rest position.

When using the double unit (B) (combined operation) only the signal output from
one unit is used for the Clam Operation.
Due to the cross lined connection via the connection cable (4) the signal is once
positive and once negative (inverted), depending on the Pedal used.

In order to be able to monitor the direction of the pedal movement and the neutral
position of travel unit (C), two switches (5 and 6) are fitted; which are actuated by
the actuator (4) as soon as the lever gets moved out of its neutral position.

For the Output Signal generation are used two coils (3.1), in series connected. The
push pin motion causes a variation of the induction and this in turn causes a signal
variation at the AC voltage bridge. The AC voltage gets rectified and becomes the
DC-Signal Voltage for the amplifiers.

The amplifier module contains the necessary electronics for the control of
two proportional solenoids. Depending on the input polarity, either solenoid
A or solenoid B is operated.
The solenoid current (solenoid A - solenoid B) is measured and compared
with the external input value. Differences between feed-back and input
values, for example caused by changes in solenoid temperature or supply
voltage, are compensated.
The module also generates a direction-dependent voltage signal (solenoid A -
solenoid B) as soon as the solenoid current reaches the lowest set value.
The lowest and highest values are set externally via the potentiometer R1 + R2.
The brightness of the LED's changes with the current.
This function should not be used for setting.

5.8 Proportional Amplifier Module, Type B

Legend for illustration (Z 21640)


Type B (for Boom, Stick, Bucket, Clam, Swing and Travel)

(LED) (P) Set Potentiometer:


AX: Proportional output AX active - 10% for the lowest current value
AS: Switched output AS active - J2 for the highest current value
BX: Proportional output BX active (Pt) Set Potentiometer for the „Ramp
BS: Switched output BS active Time“
Power: Internal supply voltage
Fault: Fault indication

The amplifier module contains the necessary electronics for the control of
two proportional solenoids and two directional solenoids. The amplifier
outputs for proportional solenoids Ax and Bx and the switched outputs As
and Bs are activated by connecting a minimum of approx. 10% signal voltage
at the amplifier input.
A positive signal voltage controls outputs A, a negative signal voltage
controls output B.
A signal voltage of approx. 10% with respect to +/- 10 V input voltage at the
amplifier, produces a stepped output voltage. The height of this 10% jump
may be set separately for proportional outputs Ax and Bx via external
potentiometer. As the signal voltage rises the solenoid current for the
proportional outputs increases linearly.
A further step in output current occurs at approx. 90% signal voltage.
The maximum current or the 90% jump may be set separately for outputs Ax
and Bx via external potentiometers and hence the gradient of the output curve
may be influenced.
LED`s indicate the current output to each proportional and switched output,
whereby the brightness is approx. proportional to the solenoid current in Ax
and Bx. This function should not be used for setting.
A Ramp Time function is included in the amplifier which may be externally
changed by a set potentiometer. The setting range for the ramp time is
approx. from 80ms to 1s. The time setting applies to both up and down ramps
and to both proportional solenoids.
A fault is indicated by the LED „Fault“.

General
The Ramp Time Module is snapped onto mounting rails inside the X2-box.
The electrical connection is done via screw terminals.
The module is operated with 24 VDC. A power supply provides the internally
required positive and negative supply voltages.
As soon as the power supply is in operation the green LED (power) lights up.
Internal command values
The internal command value signal is generated from the external command
value signal which is being applied to the differential input, a called-up signal
and an offset signal (zero point potentiometer "Z").
The external command value signal can, via potentiometer "G", changed from
0% to approx. 110%.
Command value call-ups
The call-up signals w1 to w4 also have an adjustment range of 0% to 110%.
No settings required. (factory set to 100%).
Ramp time call up
If the quadrant recognition is not activated, then each command value call-up
"w1" to "w4" is allocated its own ramp time "t1" to "t4".
As long as there is a signal change, the LED allocated to the actual ramp time
is alight.

For Checking and Setting the Signal Current at the Proportional-Amplifier (4),
both separating terminal (2) before and behind the Amplifier (4) must be opened.

For the setting procedure the signal voltage from the potentiometer control (1) can
be simulated with the potentiometer of Service-Module (6),which is installed on
the X2-panel.

Accessories required for the adjustments: "a" "b" "c" "d"


a) A multimeter, good readable for
mA VDC
values between 0 and 1000 mA.
b) More convenient is a second meter
for reading voltage simultaneously.

5.11 Adjusting the Amplifiers Type B, illustration (Z 21642)

Procedure applicable for all amplifiers except the one for the swing
brake:
(Do not start the engine, turn only the key switch in ON – position.)
1. Open* the respective separating terminal (T1) between the lever unit and
the amplifier module to be set.
2. Open* the respective separating terminal (T2) between the amplifier module
to be set and the proportional solenoid valve.
3. Disconnect the wire from terminal five.
4. Connect the positive output of the service module with terminal five of the
amplifier module, using test lead (2).
5. Attach a multimeter for voltage reading to the service module, using test
lead (3).
6. Attach a multimeter (in series) for Amp reading to the terminal between
amplifier module and solenoid valve, using test leads (3).
7. Move the lever of the Potentiometer Control into its final position; or
override manual the relay which allows 24 V operating voltage to the
amplifier module; thus the amplifier gets 24 V operating voltage. The
power LED and simultaneously LED A(+) or B(-) lights up, depending on
the polarity.
8. Turn the potentiometer (P) of the Service-Module until the multimeter
shows 1 VDC (it may be either positive or negative); the multimeter for the
current reading will show a value which should correspond to the value
giving in the circuit diagram e.g. 330 mA. (The first step (10 %) value)
If necessary correct the value with potentiometer (R1).
9. Turn the potentiometer (P) of the Service-Module further until the
multimeter shows 9 VDC; the multimeter for the current reading will show
a value which should correspond to the value giving in the circuit diagram
e.g. 660 mA. (The second step (90 %) value).
If necessary correct the value with potentiometer (R2).
10. Repeat settings of item 8 and 9 until both mA values are stabilized, because
R1 and R2 influence each other.

* How to open and close the terminal:


Push the yellow stud (1) down with a screw driver and turn it 90° to the left to
open or to the right to close the terminal. A spring pushes then the stud
outwards and the contacts are either open or closed.

vice versa.
12. Repeat the setting as described under item 7 to 10.
13. Remove multimeter, test wire, close* the terminals and reconnect the wire
to terminal 5 of the amplifier module.

Adjusting the Ramp Time


1. Turn potentiometer (Rt) 30 revolutions counter clockwise, to guarantee the
correct start position at the complete left side.
2. Turn potentiometer (Rt) so many revolutions clockwise as shown in the
table below (part of the electrical circuit diagram).

* How to open and close the terminal:


Push the yellow stud (1) down with a screw driver and turn it 90° to the left to
open or to the right to close the terminal. A spring pushes then the stud
outwards and the contacts are either open or closed.

5.12 Adjusting the Amplifiers Type B, illustration (Z 21643)

The amplifiers for the crawler foot pedals are adjustable in the same way as
the amplifiers for the joy sticks.(refer to page 17 and 18 in this section)

The amplifier for the swing foot brake is similar.

Procedure for the swing foot brake:


1. Open* the respective separating terminal (T1) between the pedal unit and
the amplifier module to be set.
2. Open* the respective separating terminal (T2) between the amplifier module
to be set and the proportional solenoid valve.
3. Disconnect the wire from terminal five.
4. Connect the positive output of the service module with terminal five of the
amplifier module, using test lead (2).
5. Attach a multimeter for voltage reading to the service module, using test
lead (3).
6. Attach a multimeter (in series) for Amp reading to the terminal between
amplifier module and solenoid valve, using test lead (3).
7. Press the pedal fully down ; or manual override the relay which allows 24 V
operating voltage to the amplifier module; thus the amplifier gets 24 V
operating voltage.
8. Turn the potentiometer (P) of the Service-Module until the multimeter
shows 1 VDC ; the multimeter for the current reading will show a value
which should correspond to the value giving in the circuit diagram e.g. 10
mA. (10 % value)
If necessary correct the value with potentiometer (R1).

* How to open and close the terminal:


Push the yellow stud (1) down with a screw driver and turn it 90° to the left to
open or to the right to close the terminal. A spring pushes then the stud
outwards and the contacts are either open or closed.

Cont'd:

9. Turn the potentiometer (P) of the Service-Module further until the


multimeter shows 10 VDC; the multimeter for the current reading will show
a value which should correspond to the value giving in the circuit diagram
e.g. 500 mA. (100 % value).
If necessary correct the value with potentiometer (R2).

) • It is important that the pilot pressure for the pressure increasing valve
is 30 +/- 1 bar.
For more information refer to section 8.2 „Swing Circuit“

10. Repeat settings of item 8 and 9 until both mA values are stabilized, because
R1 and R2 influence each other.
11. Remove multimeter, test wire, close* the terminals and reconnect the wire
to terminal 5 of the amplifier module.

* How to open and close the terminal:


Push the yellow stud (1) down with a screw driver and turn it 90° to the left to
open or to the right to close the terminal. A spring pushes then the stud
outwards and the contacts are either open or closed.

) • The following adjustments have to be done when commissioning the


machine and whenever the Ramp Time Module has been replaced.
• Do not start the engine, turn only the key switch in ON – position.

Basic Adjustment:
1. Connect 0VDC with a test lead from the red positive terminal of the service module
(6) to terminal 5 of the Ramp Time Module (3) and adjust with "Pot Z" a value of 0
VDC measured at terminal 7. Disconnect the test lead after the setting is done.
2. Connect +10VDC with a test lead from the red positive terminal of the service
module (6) to terminal 5 of the Ramp Time Module (3) and adjust with "Pot G" a
value of 10 VDC measured at terminal 7. Check the negative voltage as well(- 10
VDC). Disconnect the test lead after the setting is done.

) • Repeat settings of item 1 and 2 until both values are stabilized, because
"Pot Z" and "Pot G" influence each other.
• The factory setting of potentiometer "w1" to "w4" for the command
value call-ups must not be adjusted.

(14) Plug-in orifice for A / B ports

Function:
The electric-hydraulic control system is used to control the direction and
volume of oil flow to the operating cylinders and motors via the main control
valve blocks.

When a lever (or pedal) is actuated, a proportional solenoid valve (13) and
one of the directional solenoid valves (12 either a or b) are energized, and
allows the pilot pressure oil to flow to the spools of the main control blocks.
The proportional solenoid valve alters the pilot pressure, proportional to the
lever deflection, this results a spool movement between neutral and full
stroke position.

(1) Housing
(2) Solenoids
(3) Control spool
(4) Reset springs

(7) Plug-in orifice

Function:
In un-operated condition the control spool (3) is held in the neutral or
starting position by the reset springs (4). Operation of the control spool is by
means of oil immersed solenoids (2).
The force of the solenoid (2) acts via the plunger (5) on the control spool (3)
and pushes its from its resting position into the required end position. This
results in the required free flow from P to A and B to T or from P to B and
A to T.
When the solenoid (2) is de-energised, the control spool (3) is returned to its
original position by the reset springs (4).
Where necessary restriction orifices are installed into the valve ports, to
reduce the oil flow.

6.1.9 Proportional Solenoid Valve

) • This valves are responsible for the creation of a variable control


pressure proportional to the electrical signal output of an amplifier.

Legend for illustration (Z 21697):


(1) Proportional solenoid (5) Pressure measuring spool
(2) Control piston (6) Connection plug
(3) Valve housing (7) Return spring
(4) Pressure measuring spool (8) Bleed screw

Function:
In unoperated condition the control spool (2) is held in the neutral or starting
position by reset springs.
The control spool (2) is directly operated by the proportional solenoid (1).
If the solenoid is energized, it produces a force to operate the control spool (2) via
the pressure measuring spool (4) and moves the spool to the left. Oil flows from P
to A. As pressure in A increases, it passes via the radial borings in the control
spool (2) to the inner end of the pressure measuring spool (2).
The force generated by the pressure now works against the solenoid force and
pushes the control spool (2) to the right (closing direction) until a balance is
achieved between the two forces. In order to achieve this, the pressure measuring
spool (2) moves to the left until it is supported by the pin (5).
When the force balance is achieved, the connection between P and A is
interrupted and the pressure in line A is held constant.
Any reduction in the solenoid force leads to the pressure force exceeding the
solenoid force on the control spool (2). The control spool is then moved to the
right causing a connection from A to T allowing the pressure to fall until a
balance is re-established at a lower level.
At rest, when the solenoid is de-energized, ports A and B are open to tank, whilst
port P is blocked from both ports A and B.

• In order to achieve optimum functioning of the valve, it must be bleed


when commissioning:
- Supply pressure to the valve

- Remove plug 8

- When no more air bubbles appear screw in plug 8.

e Plug screw

Function:
High-pressure in-line filters prevent contamination from entering the
hydraulic circuits. The spin-on filters are installed between the main
hydraulic pumps and multi-valve control blocks. All hydraulic components,
behind the pumps, are effectively protected from damage and undue wear.
Each filter is equipped with a differential pressure switch to monitor the filter
flow restriction. If the pressure reaches an unsafe difference of 8.5 bar, a
message appears on the display in the cab.
Example:
Fault No. 674: $h: High pressure filter #5 or pump #5
(677) restricted. Stop Motor 2
Help: Differential pressure switch B5-2 not closed.
- Clean or replace filter element.
- Check pump
or
Fault No. 644: $h: Start of motor 2 blocked due to
(647) contamination of pump #5
Help: Differential pressure switch B5-2 not closed.
- Check cables to differential pressure switch B5-2.

hydraulically centering of the spool.
Between 8 and 19 bar pilot pressure the spools are moved in their fine control
range.
The 4-spool blocks are equipped with different spools, depending on function
and priority.

a2 / a3

Spools without a symbol (standard) are connecting the rod side of the cylinders
with the pump supply line and the piston side with the tank.
Spools with #-symbol are connecting the piston side of the cylinders with the tank
only. (lowering with free pump circulation, i.e. the pressure channel is connected
to the center channel, so that pump flow is available for other functions.)
Spools with $-symbol (floating) are connecting the piston side of the cylinders
with the rod side and also with the tank.

The Load Holding Valves are installed inside of the spool, for each port to
the cylinder or motor one valve. The hydraulic diagram shows only one.
The MRV is a pilot operated pressure relief valve.

(2) Check valve (Load holding valve)
(3) Anti cavitation valve (ACV)
(4) Service line relief valve (SRV)

Explanation of the schematic drawing of the control block:


The hydraulic oil flows through the control block from port P to T, if all
spools are in neutral position ("pressure-less circuit" or “Free circulation“).

(A) 4-spool valve block


Example 1: Spool #1 moves up when pilot pressure is build up in the control pipe
line a1. (Imagine the upper symbol box moves to the center position.)
Now pump oil flows through check valve (2) to the user port A1 (travel motors)
because the free flow circulation to the hydraulic reservoir is closed. The main
relief valve (1) limits the maximum operation pressure in this circuit. Via port B1
the return oil from the travel motors is flowing back to the hydraulic oil reservoir.
During down hill travel motion and stopping procedure the ACV’s (3) prevents
cavitation on the hydraulic motors. Because during these short periods of time the
hydraulic motor needs a higher oil supply than the pump can deliver.

Example 2: Spool #2 moves up when pilot pressure is build up in the control pipe
line a2. (Imagine the upper symbol box moves to the center position.)
Now pump oil flows through check valve (2) to the user port A2 (stick cylinder
rod side) because the free flow circulation to the hydraulic reservoir is closed. The
main relief valve (1) limits the maximum operation pressure in this circuit. Via
port B2 the return oil from the stick cylinder piston side is flowing back to the
hydraulic oil reservoir.
SRV (4) is installed to limit maximum possible pressure peaks in the service line..
Shortly high pressure closes check valve (2) which secures the hydraulic pump
from pressure peaks.
The check valves (2) have also the function of load holding valves because during
the fine controlling period all lines are connected together (negative over-
lapping). The load pressure is for a moment higher than the pump pressure.

MRVs and SRVs are pilot operated relief valves. The MRV limits the max.
Pump supply line pressure. The SRV limits the max. possible pressure peak in
the service-line.
The valves have an „opening characteristic“. That means, that in case of
contamination after the response procedure no further pressure increasing is
possible and damages are avoided.

Function:
The circuit pressure P forces with the force F1 on the piston surface A of the
main valve cone (15). Because there is via the jet bore (16) the same pressure on
the back side of the main cone, this results together with the spring (14) force in
a force F2 that keeps the main cone closed. Via the jet bore (13) the circuit
pressure is in front of the poppet (12). Exceeds the circuit pressure the setting
value of the spring (11), the poppet opens against the force of the spring (11).
This causes that the force F2 decreases and there is no more balance condition
between F1 and F2. Valve cone (15) is moved upwards by the greater force F1.
That means there is now a direct connection from port P to T (tank).

ACVs serve for compensation possible lack of feed when the SRV at the
opposite port is actuated (see circuit diagram) and for avoiding cavitation
damages. In addition, to supply a user in case it is continuously moved by
acceleration forces at zero position of the control spool.

Function:
The circuit pressure inside the spring chamber closes the valve cone (7).
The back pressure of the return line acts on the surface of the valve cone (7).
Whenever the pressure in the service-line is lower than the springs force the
valve cone opens by the force of the back pressure and hydraulic oil is additional
supplied.

Load Holding Valve


Legend for illustration (Z 22441):
((1) Spool
(2) Centering springs
(3) Load holding valve

Control Blocks I to IV (4-spool blocks)


Two load holding valves are fitted into each spool of the control blocks, one
valve for each port (A and B).

They have three tasks:


1. When circuit pressure due to attachment weight is higher than pump
pressure these valves prevent dropping of the attachment, within their
sensitive (fine controlling) range.
2. Due suddenly pressure peaks in the service lines the valves also protect
the pump.
3. When two pumps flows are used for one user they ensure that at least
the flow of one pump reaches the user in case one MRV is defect or not
more correct adjusted.
That means: Up to the max. Pressure of the defective valve both load holding
valves are open allowing the flow of both pumps to the user, then one valve will
be closed by the higher pressure and the flow of one pump only flows to the
user.

Function:
In neutral position (upper picture) of the spool (1) both valve cones (3) are
closed by the springs (2).
In switched position (lower picture) forces the circuit pressure onto the front
area of the valve piston (3).
This force moves the piston against spring (2) and allows the oil to flow from
the pump supply port (P) to the user port (A) and from port B to the return oil
passage (T).
If due to an external force the pressure directed to the pump overcomes the
pressure in the pump line; this pressure (force) closes the valve
(direction P to A).

6.1.12 Travel Brake Valve

Illustration Z 21695

Task:
Travel brake valves control the oil flow from the hydraulic motor to the tank
depending on operating pressure. This braking action prevents the motors from
overspeeding.

Function:
Spring force keeps the spool in the lowest flow position. with increasing
operating pressure the opening for the return oil flow becomes larger.
On its way to the hydraulic motor the oil flows from A to A1 respectively from
B to B1 depending on the selected travel motion.

Example:
Operating pressure at port A moves spool (1) against the force of the spring (2)
and opens the way for the return oil (B1 to B).
Check valve (3) prevents a direct oil flow from B1 to B.
If the operating pressure decreases to such an extend that the spring force
overcomes the pressure, the flow to the tank becomes restricted, resulting in
braking of the machine.

6.1.13 Pressure Reducing Valve

) • Pressure reducing valves are installed to reduce the common 45 bar


pilot pressure to a lower pressure for other systems, e.g. the hydraulic
track tensioning system.

(1) Set screw


(2) Spool
(3) Compression spring
(4) Threaded sleeve
(5) Non return valve
(6) Boring
(7) Spring chamber
(8) Control land

Function:
Pressure reducing valves type DR & DP are direct operated valves of 3 way
design, e.g. with a pressure relief function on the reduced pressure side.
At rest, the valve is normally open, and fluid can flow unhindered from port P
to A. Pressure in port A is also present on the end of the spool (2), via control
line (6), opposing the compression spring (3). When the pressure in port A
reaches the pressure level set at spring (3), spool (2) moves to the control
position and holds the pressure in port A constant.
Fluid to control the valve is taken from port A via the boring (6).
If the pressure in port A rises still further due to external forces, the spool (2)
is moved still further towards the compression spring (3).
This causes a flow path to be opened over control land (8) in the control spool (2)
to tank. Sufficient fluid then flows to tank to prevent any further rise in pressure.
An optional non return valve (5) is available to allow free flow from A to P.

(1) Housing
(2) Solenoid

Function:
When there is no flow through the valve, control spool (3) is held in neutral
or output position by means of the return springs (4). The control spool (3) is
operated by means of oil immersed solenoid (2).
The force of the solenoid (2) effects control spool (3) by means of the plunger
(5) and pushes it from its resting position to the required end position.
This results in free flow from or P to B and A to T.
When solenoid (2) is de-energized, control spool (3) is moved back to its
resting position by means of return springs (4).
An optional hand emergency (6) allows movement of the control spool (3)
without energizing the solenoid.

6.1.15 Pressure Increasing Valve

) • The pressure increasing valve is a remote controlled pressure relief


valve, actuated by hydraulic pressure. The individual pressure is in
such a way determined by the pilot pressure.

Legend for illustration (Z 21846):

(5) Main piston
(6) Closing spring
(7+8) Set screws
(9) Piston
(10) Pin
(11+12) Jet bore
(13+14) Lock nut

Function:
The valve poppet (2) is connected via the jet bores (11) and (12) with the P
port.
If static pressure increase above the set pressure value, the valve poppet (2)
opens and allows oil to flow freely to tank (T1). This oil generates a pressure
drop in the spring chamber of the main spool, the closing force of the spring
(6) is cancelled, and the main piston (5) opens to allow the pump flow to flow
to tank (T2).
Damped opening and closing is obtained by the throttled volumetric change.
By applying external pressure of Pst max = 45 bar to the main spool (9) via
port X, the pre-tensioning of the pressure spring (3) is increased by the amount
of the piston stroke "S" and system pressure is increased correspondingly.
The possible pressure increase p is 440 bar max. or 440 bar minus the basic
setting.
The setting is fixed by means of the setting screw (7) and lock nut (13); 1 turn
of the screw = 150 bar.

7.0 Main hydraulic pumps and pump regulation system

Pump regulation system

General
Controlled output flow of the main pumps is necessary:
• To utilize the available motor power most efficiently in every operating
mode.
• To limit the power consumption of the hydraulic pumps depending on the
load of the motor. (Electronic pump regulation with micro-controller MC7)
• For additional functions, such as temperature-dependent flow reduction.

Function:

X1 – pump regulation pressure (0 – 34 bar):


The power controller of the main pumps can be remotely controlled by
applying an external pilot pressure (X1 ) at port X LR to the spring chamber of
the power control valve. The start of destroking can be varied in proportion to
the applied X1 - pressure.

X2 – pilot pressure (45 bar):


Constant pilot pressure to regulate the main pumps at special circumstances,
e.g. to fix the pumps in Q-max position while servicing the machine.

X3 – remote control pressure (0 / 15 / 45bar):


Basic setting Q-min (0 bar), the flow rate increases with the
pilot pressure X3 at port Pst, up to Q-max (45 bar).
The hyperbolic power control is superimposed on the pilot pressure
signal and keeps the specified drive power constant. (p x Vg = constant).
The flow rates are:
Q-min.: X3 = 0 bar
½ Q-max.: X3 = 15 bar
Q-max.: X3 = 45 bar

X4 – pump support pressure (60 bar):


Constant pilot pressure to support the regulation function at low operating
pressure and to lubricate the main pump bearings.

Q-min position: (remember Q means volume)

When are the pumps in Q-min position?


A: Engine at standstill
B: Engine running and the controls are not used for 20 sec. or longer
at temperature state between T1 and T3.
C: Engine running and service switch S155 activated (Qmin-position)

Example C with the following conditions:


• Engine running (high idle)
• Pump pressure smaller than X4 = 60 bar (pump support pressure)
• X1 = 34 bar (pump regulation pressure), this pressure will not influence
the Q-min position under these conditions.
• X3 = 0 bar (remote control pressure); Y17 de-energized (S155 Qmin activated)
for all pumps.
• X4 = 60 bar (pump support pressure)
Pump support pressure is present at valve #7, the slipper pad of
piston #14 and the small area side of the positioning piston #13

Response of pump control mechanism:


Valve #7 moves to position "b" because the X4-pressure will overcome the
spring force, since the oil behind nozzle (8) flows through valve #6 (which is
in position "a", due to the missing remote control pressure X3) back to tank.

Pump support pressure X4 passes valve #7 position "b" and flows via power
control valve #9 position "a" to the large area side of positioning piston #13

Because the large area side of positioning piston #13 is approximately three
times larger as the small area side, the pump support pressure X4 of 60 bar
present on both sides, resulting in stronger force at the large area side, keeps
the pump in Q-min position.

The pump remains in Q-min position

• X3 = 45 bar (remote control pressure); Y17 and Y17a energized
for all pumps.
• X4 = 60 bar (pump support pressure), present at valve #7.

Response of pump control mechanism:


Valve #7 moves to position "a" because the spring force is supported by the
X4-pressure, since the oil flow back to tank is blocked at valve #6 (which is
in position "b", due to the 45 bar remote control pressure X3).

The large area side of positioning piston #13 is connected, via power control
valve (9) position "a" and pressure balance valve (7) position "a", to the
return oil line.

The pump moves into Q-max position, because the pump pressure acts only
at the small area side of positioning piston #13.

• X3 = 15 bar (remote control pressure); Y17 energized and Y17a de-
energized
for all pumps.
• X4 = 60 bar (pump support pressure), present at valve #7.

Response of pump control mechanism:


Valve #7 moves to an intermediate position (in-between "a" and "b"), since a
certain amount of oil behind nozzle (8) flows through valve #6 (which is also
in an intermediate position, due to the 15 bar remote control pressure X3)
back to tank.

The large area side of positioning piston #13 is connected, via power control
valve (9) position "a" and pressure balance valve (7), to the return oil line.

The pump moves into ½ Q-max position, because the return oil flow through
pressure balance valve (7) is restricted (due to its intermediate position),
resulting in a pressure at the large area side of the positioning piston (13).

The pump moves into ½ Q-max position

Example with the following conditions:


• Engine running
• Pump pressure 180 bar adjustable at main relief valves, present at the
slipper pad of piston #14 and the small area side of the positioning piston
#13
• X1 = 13 bar (constant regulation pressure adjustable at pressure reducing
valves 253.2) Change over valve (253.1) switched to hydraulic mode.
• X3 = 45 bar (remote control pressure); Y17 energized and Y17a energized
for all pumps
• X4 = 60 bar (pump support pressure), present at valve #7.

Response of pump control mechanism:


Valve #7 moves to position "a" because the spring force is supported by the
X4-pressure, since the oil flow back to tank is blocked at valve #6 (which is
in position "b", due to the 45 bar remote control pressure X3).

The operating pressure (with the value for start of de-stroking) at the slipper
pad of piston #14 moves the power control valve (9) into position "b" (against
the spring force supported by the X1-pressure).
This in turn connects the operating pressure to the large area side of
positioning piston #13.

Because the large area side of positioning piston #13 is approximately three
times larger as the small area side, the operating pressure present on both sides,
resulting in stronger force at the large area side, moving the pump in Q-min
direction.

The pump de-strokes until the forces at positioning piston #13 are

Pump pressure 300 bar

Response of pump control mechanism:


Independent of the position of power control valve #9 the pressure cut-off
valve #11 causes the pump to de-stroke to the pre-adjusted Q-min position.

The operating pressure moves the pressure cut-off valve #11 (at set pressure)
into position "b" and flows to the large area side of positioning piston #13.

Because the large area side of positioning piston #13 is approximately three
times larger as the small area side, the operating pressure present on both

respectively 254.2 – engine2) the X1-pressure to 13 bar.
6. Stall the hydraulic for the pump to be checked and alter the
operating pressure with the MRV up and down between 160 and
200 bar.
Start of destroking should be at an operating pressure of 180 bar,
shown at the gauge connected to the high pressure filter.

If readjustment is required proceed as follow:


a) Adjust with the MRV an operating pressure of 180 bar.
b) Loosen lock nut #6 (Power control valve).
c) Turn set bolt #7, so that the pump is still in Q-max. position,
but just at the beginning of destroking.
d) Tighten lock nut #6.

7. Re-adjust the operating pressure at the MRV to 310+10 bar and the X1-
pressure at the pressure reducing valve (253.2 – engine1 respectively
254.2 engine2) to approx. 14bar.
(For exact values refer to the final test report.)

7.2 Electronic Pump Regulation System

7.2.1 Electronic load limiting control - general, illustration (Z 22448b)

The drive train of the excavator consists of two diesel engines, several
hydraulic pumps, which supply cylinders and hydraulic motors.
The load limiting control ensures optimum use of the power required for the
excavator under varying operating conditions and avoiding overload of the
diesel engine.
Illustration Z22448b shows the principle of the electronic load limiting
control.
The MC7 (E32) processes the following input signals:
• Diesel engine speed (Pin 52, 53 and 54) from magnetic pick-up (B64-1
and B64-2), adjustment see at the end of this section.
• Switch signal (Pin 35 / 19) from engine control module (3E14-1 / 3E14-2),
24V if n > 300 min-1

The MC7 (E32) processes the following output signals:


• Signal value to control the proportional solenoid valve Y61-1 (Pin 28)
and Y61-2 (Pin 30).
• Switch signals (Pin 32 and 33), diagnostic of the MC7 (E32-1)

The diesel engine drives four variable displacement pumps by means of a


PTO-gearbox.
Each pump is equipped with a hydraulic power controller (HPC).
This controller limits the input torque of the pump to an adjusted command
value (X1-pressure, for start of de-stroking).
The command value (X1-pressure) is present via proportional solenoid valve
Y61-1 and Y61-2 at the hydraulic power controllers of each pump.
The actual speed of the engine is measured with a speed sensor at the
flywheel.

) • The auxiliary hydraulic pumps and other consumers can be operated


without being directly affected by the load limiting control.

The control algorithm of the load limiting control always compares the actual
engine speed with the rated load speed.
With increasing load the engine torque will rise and the engine speed will
drop.
For this reason the electronic load limiting control will be initiated when the
load speed falls below 1800 min-1 , i.e. the torque of the main pumps will be
lowered (by reducing the X1-pressure) until the rated speed of 1800 min-1 is
attained again.

7.2.2 Microcontroller MC7, illustration (Z 21716)

The MC7 microcontroller is used for the programmable control of a maximum of four
proportional solenoids and two additional switching functions.
As input signals, the microprocessor processes analog voltages in the 0V to 5V range and
switching information. All inputs are protected against overvoltage and electrical interference.
As output signals, the output stages of the MC7 deliver closed loop controlled currents for the
connection of proportional solenoids.
The analog voltage output is suitable for the simple forwarding of analog information to other
electronic circuits.
Characteristics
• Closed loop control of solenoid currents, i.e. independent of voltage and temperature.
• Pulse width modulated (PWM) solenoid currents for minimal hysteresis.
• Internal buzzer for programmable monitoring of functions or errors.
Setting and Display Facilities
All calibration operations and the display of functions, faults and system variables are
connected via the serial interface to the BB-3 control panel or to a PC running the BODEM
software.

)
• As long as voltage is supplied, the X1-pressure drops to zero.
After interrupting the voltage supply, the gauge pointer will move
slowly to the new present X1-pressure.
• Example: Keeping voltage supply for two seconds , will increase the
X1-pressure of approximately 1bar.
• The adjusted value will be saved immediately and will be available
after power off.
6. To decrease the X1-pressure connect 24V to terminal 145 and proceed as
described under item 5, keeping voltage supply for two seconds , will
decrease the X1-pressure of approximately 1bar.
7. After the adjustment is finished, remove the test leads and pressure gauge and
turn the main key switch in OFF position to deactivate the adjusting mode.

7.3 Hydraulic Constant Regulation System

7.3.1. General
The pilot pressure pumps (9.1 and 9.3) deliver the oil through the pressure filters
(68.1 and 68.7) to port A of the pressure relief valve (252.2) for limiting the pump
support pressure X4 to 60 bar. By the function of pressure reducing valve
(252.1), the X4 pressure of 60 bar is reduced to the pilot pressure X2 of 45 bar.
The common X2 pressure will be reduced by the function of pressure reducing
valves (253.2 – engine 1 and 254.2 – engine 2) to the necessary constant X1
pressure, to prevent the motors from overloading.

) • For testing purposes the pump regulation system can be changed to


the hydraulic operation mode. In case of a failure in the electronic
regulation system the hydraulic operation mode can also be used for
emergency operation.
• The standard operation mode of the pump regulation system is the
Electronic Operation Mode.

1. Speed sensor (pick up – 3B64-1)
2. Fly wheel housing
3. Fly wheel
4. Look nut
5. RPM-module (E8-1)
General:
The engine speed sensor (pick up) together with the RPM-Module use the fly
wheel teeth to count the engine RPM. With running engine, each tooth
creates a inductive tension in the pick up coil. That cause a alternative tension
at the pick up coil wire. With engine stand still there is no tension at the pick
up wire. The frequency of this alternative tension increase or decrease
proportional to the engine RPM. The RPM-module convert the frequency in
to a proportional milliampere signal. This signal is used for different
components e.g. pump regulation, display, ECS.

7.5.1. Engine speed sensor (pick up) adjustment


1. Stop engine.
2. Disconnect plug at the pick-up wire.
3. Loosen look nut
4. Turn out the pick-up completely ccw.
5. Check front end of the pick up and clean it from magnetic chips and dirt.
6. Turn the pick-up completely in ( cw ) until it touch the fly wheel Fig.A.
7. Turn the pick-up ¾ turn out ( ccw ) Fig. B.
8. Secure the pick up with look nut Gig.C.
9. Connect the plug.
Final Check
10. Start engine and let them run in high idle
11. Check the tension (AC Voltage) of the pick-up. Use the terminals 3 and
4 of the RPM-module or respective terminals at the X2 panel.
E.g.: Pick up 3B64-1 is connected to terminal X2M 62-64 and X2M 65
and further to RPM-module E8-1 terminal 3 and 4.
12. The tension should be ≈ 1+ 0,5 Volt AC

ã
• Avoid pick-up contact with the fly wheel while engine running.
• The inductive AC voltage must be measured with pick up connected to
the RPM-module.

General information
The control blocks, the piping to the distributor manifold and the connecting
hoses to the attachment are different between the Backhoe Attachment (BHA)
and the Front Shovel Attachment (FSA). If a conversion is required, contact
the service department for further information.

Function:

) •

Study together with the circuit diagram.
The following numbering refers to the hydraulic circuit diagram.

Each main pump (1 to 8) delivers oil trough the high pressure filter (18.1 to 18.4)
to port P of the main control blocks (14 to 17).
This results in four main circuits.
If all spools of the control blocks (14 to 17) are in neutral position, the oil leaves
the block at port T and returns via return oil pipes (L23 to L26), return oil
collector tube, back pressure valve (26) and the return oil filters (51.1 - 51.7) into
the tank.
The function of back pressure valve (26) ensures:
- sufficient oil supply for all anticavitation valves
- and that sufficient oil is forced through the oil coolers.
If a control lever or pedal is actuated, pilot pressure oil moves the spools of the
control blocks, directing the oil flow from the main pumps to one side of the
user (either cylinders or motors). From the opposite side of the user the oil
returns to the control block and from there via the return oil circuit back into
the tank.
Each circuit is provided with one MRV (also called primary valve, at least one
SRV (also called secondary valve) and at least one flow restrictor.

Floating function of boom and stick cylinders FSA:


illustration (Z 22677c):
The Excavator operates automatically with the float position for boom and stick
activated. That means the lowering movement of boom and stick is always done
in the float position.
For deactivation of the float position, two push buttons are installed:
a) S95 in the right joy stick (E19) for the Boom function
b) S98 in the left joy stick (E20) for the Stick function
Press the respective button and keep it depressed as long as the float position shall
be deactivated.
When releasing the button the float position is activated again.

Function:
There are different spools in the main control blocks (I, II, III and IV) for boom
and stick installed.
Spools without a symbol (standard) are connecting the rod side of the cylinders
with the pump supply line and the piston side with the tank.
Spools with #-symbol (lowering with free pump circulation) are connecting the
piston side of the cylinders with the tank only.
Spools with $-symbol (floating) are connecting the piston side of the cylinders
with the rod side and also with the tank.
Only by lowering the boom or retracting the stick is the floating function active if
the button on the joy stick is not pushed. The piston and rod side of the respective
cylinders are in floating position direct connect to the return line (tank). By
external force the cylinder can move up or down with negligible hydraulically
resistance.
To push down the boom or retract the stick by hydraulically force, the function of
the “floating spools” must be interrupted, by activating the respective button on
the joy sticks.
Boom: S95 ON ⇒ K160 ON ⇒ Float position deactivated
S95 OFF ⇒ K160 OFF ⇒ Float position activated

Stick: S98 ON ⇒ K170 ON ⇒ Float position deactivated

8.1.9 Checks and adjustments of the Main Relief Valves (MRV),


illustration (Z 22690b):
There are four main relief valves (primary valves) installed, one in each main control
block, to limit the maximum pump supply line pressure (operating pressure).

Circuit I I M11.2 Travel L. Stick Bucket Boom
Circuit II II M11.1 Swing Boom Stick Bucket
Circuit III III M11.3 Travel R. Boom Bucket Stick
Circuit IV IV M11.4 Clam Bucket Stick Boom

Each MRV can be checked and adjusted individually by selecting one function of the
control block circuits.
Checking:
1. Connect the gauge to the required check point M11.1 to M11.5.
2. Start the motors.
3. Lower the attachment to the ground and apply the swing parking brake
3. Extend the bucket cylinder to the stop position until the hydraulic system stalls.
4. Read the pressure. Required: 310 + 5 bar for valve blocks I – IV

If the pressure is not correct, carry out a comparative measurement with an other
function, in order to avoid wrong measuring results caused by wrongly adjusted SRV or
other defects in the system.

Adjusting:
1. Remove protection cap (a).
2. Loosen lock nut (b).
3. Turn set screw (c) -clockwise to increase pressure, Counter-clock wise to
decrease pressure.
4. Tighten lock nut (b) and install cap (a).

• Make sure that the complete MRV-valve and SRV-valve is firmly


) tightened with 300 Nm.
Otherwise, internal leaks could occur which result in:
problems of correct adjustment, loud flow noises and high temperatures.

Even when the gauges show the required pressure it is possible that
one or more valves have a higher setting.
• To ensure that only the SRV’s open during checks and adjustments
it is necessary to further increase the setting of the MRV’s.

Legend for illustration (Z 22703a):


(4 + 8) Main pumps
(II) Control block
(20.1 + 20.2 + 20.3) Swing motors

Brief description (Service circuits)


(Study together with the for the machine valid hydraulic and electric circuit
diagram).
The swing motors (20.1 + 20.2 + 20.3) are driven by the pumps (4 + 8).
The oil flows from the pumps through high pressure filters to the control
block (II).
With the spools in neutral position oil flows via the return oil line (L24) into
the collector tube and further to the tank.
On its way to tank the oil must flow through the back pressure valve (26) and
the return oil filter (51.1 - 51.7). (Back pressure valve function see section 4.)
When operating the control lever for "Swinging" the pump line is connected
in the control block (II) with the corresponding service line (A1 or B1) to the
swing motors (20.1 + 20.2 + 20.3).
The oil flows from the control block through each one of the swing brake
valves (49.1 + 49.2 + 49.3); description see page 8 and 9) and the swing
motors (20.1 + 20.2 + 20.3).
Each swing gear includes one spring loaded multi disk brake (House brake)
for locking the superstructure.
The leak oil (case drain) flows through the line (L42 + L43 + L44) and the
leak oil filter (66) back to tank.

Brief description (Control circuits)


When the lever (E20) is moved out of its neutral position, proportional solenoid
valves Y24 and directional solenoid valves Y24a (L.H.-swing) or Y24b (R.H.-
swing) are energized simultaneously, so that
pilot pressure oil is send to one side of the control
block (II). At the same time by the function of
proportional solenoid valve Y127 pilot pressure
is present at port „X“ of each brake valve block
thus a maximum pressure built up in the service
lines is possible.

8.2.2 Swing Motor

Axial piston motor A2FLM (with SL-bearing)


The axial piston units of product group A2FM with fixed displacement can
operate as a hydraulic motor only.
The drive speed is proportional to the consumption capacity.
The output torque increases with the pressure drop between high and low
pressure side.
The motor converts hydrostatic energy into mechanical energy.

Description of the SL-bearing (SL = slipper bearing)


The main part of the axial forces is supported by the slipper pads (13) which
are installed on the driving circular side of the drive shaft.
Each piston is allocated to one slipper pad.
These slipper pads are located in the cylinder chamber and get pressurized via
piston borings (5). The slipper pads support themselves on the thrust washer
(14) and discharge axially the tapered roller bearing (11).
Without pressure the slipper pads are kept on the thrust washer by means of
spring (12).

8.2.2 Swing Motor

Axial piston motor A2FLM (with SL-bearing), illustration (Z 21936):

Function:
The pressure oil inlet (A or B) and consequent oil outlet (B or A) determine
the output drive direction of the drive shaft (1).

Direction of rotation:
"Clockwise" = Direction of flow A to B
"Counter-Clockwise" = Direction of flow B to A
with view onto drive shaft!

Via the control lens (8) the oil is directed to the cylinder bores.
The piston (5) is moved from the lower (6b) to the up- per dead point (6a) by
means of the force acting on it and causes the drive shaft to rotate. On further
rotation of the drive shaft (additional pistons are pressurized) this piston is
moved towards the lower dead point again and oil of the cylinder chamber is
forced out through the kidney formed openings of the control lens. This oil is
fed back to the tank via the return line.

If the supply and return line is changed it changes the output drive direction
of the drive shaft.
By means of the angled arrangement of the cylinder (7) (bent axis design), a
certain piston stroke is produced which results in a fixed displacement per
revolution of the drive shaft. According to the size of the applied flow this
produces a specific output speed.
The output torque at the drive shaft is dependent on the size of the motor and
the required operating pressure.

The swing gear is of compact design with a two stage planetary gear including a
multi disk house brake.
The gear is bolted to the superstructure and fits firmly due to the machined
diameter (A) and the bolt torque.
The torque loaded on the hydraulic motor is transmitted by drive shafts (2)
and sun gear shaft (3) to the first planetary stage (17).
The sun shaft (17) of the first planetary stage transmits the torque into the
second planetary stage (19). By the planetary gears the output drive shaft is
rotated and transmits the torque to the pinion (21).
The drive housing, and the gearbox are filled with gear oil.
Aeration is done by breather filters.
To lubricate the pinion bearing port (22) is connected to the central
lubrication system.

8.2.4 Swing Parking Brake (Gear house Brake)

The Spring Loaded Multi-disk Brake is a safety brake; applied by


spring force and released by oil pressure.

(8) Quad-Rings with back- up rings
(9) Springs
(10) Thrust washer
(11) Circlip
(12) Drive shaft
(13) Oil pressure port

Function:
Brake applied:
The outer disks (4) engaged to the housing by serration and the inner disks (3) in
serrated connection with drive shaft (12) are pressed together by the springs (9).
This results in a fixed connection between housing and drive shaft.

Brake released:
Oil pressure via port (13) reaches the bottom of the piston (6) and forces the
piston upwards against the thrust washer (10).
This function eliminates the spring force onto the disks so that the sinus
(spacing) rings can keep the outer disks (4) apart, thus the brake is released.
The releasing pressure is 19 - 20 bar, the maximum permissible pressure
60 bar.

This is a so named "Wet Brake" because the brake housing is splash lubricated
by gear oil.

Pressure check points:


(MA) Circuit A
(MB) Circuit B

Explanation of the function by the symbol:


When ever a swing motion is carried out or the foot brake is used, pilot
pressure arrives the pressure increasing valve (1) at port "X".
The pilot pressure pre-loads these valves.
The oil for the hydraulic motor from the control block arrives the service line
port A or B, depending if a R.H. or a L.H. swing motion is carried out.
The ports A and B are internally connected to the ports A1 and B1 and these
ports in turn with the hydraulic motor.
The operating pressure, at either port A or B closes the anti-cavitation valves
(4 or 5) and opens the check valves (2 or 3).
That means by the check valves (2 or 3) the service lines are connected to the
pressure increasing valve.
When ever the pressure is higher than the setting of the pressure increasing
valve, this valves opens and dumps the oil into the return line (T) to tank.
The pressure can be checked at the check points MA or MB.

8.2.5 Swing Brake Valve, illustration (Z 21935)

If after a swing motion the joy stick is put into neutral position without
using the foot brake, the superstructure is turned by inertial force and the
hydraulic motor acts as a pump because it is driven by the swing gear.
In this period the pressure in the service line is lower than the pressure in
the return line, because there is a back pressure valve at the tank, and oil is
forced through the anti-cavitation valves into the service line.

Function of the pressure increasing valve.


When ever a swing motion is carried out or the foot brake is used, pilot
pressure arrives the pressure increasing valve (1) at port "X". The pilot
pressure pre-loads these valves.
By applying pilot pressure via the external port X to piston (12), the pre-
tensioning of the pressure spring (10) is increased by the amount of the piston
stroke "S", which results in the actual valve setting.
The system pressure is in front of the main piston (13) and via the jet bore (6)
also in the chamber of the spring (7) and via the jet bore (8) at the pressure
relief valve poppet (9).
Due to the force balance the piston (13) is kept in its position supported by
the spring (7).
Overcomes the system pressure the setting of the valve (9), this valve opens a
channel to the dump line port (Y). Due to the drop of force the piston (13) is
moved to the right.
The pressure line gets connected with the return line (T).
Damped opening and closing are obtained by the throttled volumetric change
that is caused by the jet bores.

8.2.8 Checks and adjustments for the swing circuit

)
• It is important that the complete MRV-valve and the Pressure
Increasing Valve is firmly (with 300 Nm) tightened. Otherwise,
internal leaks could occur which result in problems of correct
adjustment, loud flow noises and high temperatures.
• Whenever pressure checks are carried out, they must be carried out
for all swing motors, to make sure the control lines and the check
valves in the brake valve blocks are in good condition.
• Because the Swing motors are working hydraulically in combined
operation, the pressure gauge shows the pressure of the pressure
increasing valve with the lowest setting. Even when the gauge shows
the required pressure it is possible that one valve has a higher setting.
Therefore lower the pressure on one valve below the required pressure
and then increase up to required pressure. Proceed with next valves in
the same manner.

High pressure check / adjustment


1. Connect a pressure gauge to check point M11.1 at the high pressure filter units.
2. Disconnect the pilot pressure lines from the T-unions and close the lines with a
suitable plug (P).
3. Loosen lock nut (3) of all pressure increasing valves (PIV) and screw in set screw
(4) until piston (5) comes to stop.
4. Start one motor.
5. Lower attachment to ground and apply house brake with switch S29.
6. Adjust the MRV-pressure to ~350 bar.
7. Actuate either L.H. or R.H. rotation until the hydraulic system stalls.
Read the pressure, required = 330 ±5 bar.
8. If the gauge shows a smaller or greater value the pressure increasing valves must
be adjusted:
a) Loosen lock nut (1) of the first pressure increasing valve PIV (49.1).
b) Adjust pressure with set screw (2) of PIV (49.1) to ~340 bar.
If the pressure won’t increase, turn set crew (2) of the other PIV’s (49.2
+ 49.3) a ¼ turn further in (c.w.).
c) Secure by tightening lock nut (1).
d) Loosen lock nut (1) of the second PIV (49.2).
e) Reduce the pressure with set screw (2) of PIV (49.2) to a value of about
320 bar, and then increase up to the required pressure of 330 bar.
f) Secure adjusted set screw (2) by tightening lock nut (1)
g) Loosen lock nut (1) of the third PIV (49.3).
h) Reduce the pressure with set screw (2) of PIV (49.3) to a value of about
320 bar, and then increase up to the required pressure of 330 bar.
i) Secure adjusted set screw (2) by tightening lock nut (1)

10. Re-connect the pilot pressure line.
11. Re-set MRV-pressure and remove the gauges after the check / adjustment is
finished

ã
• Strong pulsation of the return line hoses, indicates deviation in
opening pressure of PIV’s and must be avoided.
Repeat the adjusting procedure until the oil returns well-balanced
via all three pressure increasing valves.

Brake pilot pressure - check / adjustment


1. Connect the gauge to the check point M4.
2. Start motors.
3. Depress fully the foot brake pedal (E22) and read the pressure.

The pressure must be 24 +1 bar.

8.3.1 Travel Circuit

Cont'd.:

Illustration (Z 22717a):
Brief description (Service circuits)
(Study together with the hydraulic and electric circuit diagram).
The L.H. travel motors (21.1 + 21.2) are driven by the pumps (2 + 6) and the
R.H. travel motors (21.3 + 21.4) are driven by the pumps (3 + 7).
The oil flows from the pumps through the high pressure filters to the control
blocks (I + III).
In neutral position of the spools the oil flows via the return oil lines (L23 +
L25) into the collector tube and further to the tank.
On its way to tank the oil must flow through the back pressure valve (26) and
the return oil filter (51.1 - 51.7). (Back pressure valve function see section 4.)
When operating the foot pedal for "Travelling" the pump line of each control
block is connected with the corresponding service line (A1 or B1) via the
rotary distributor (21) and travel brake valves (39.1 + 39.2) to the travel
motors (22.1 – 22.4).
The travel brake valve acts as a flow control valve in order to avoid the travel
motors picking up speed when travelling downhill.
Each travel gear includes a spring loaded multi disk brakes (House brakes 77.1 –
77.4). They are used as parking brakes, automatically applied by the function of
Y16 whenever the prime mover is switched OFF.
The brake release pressure (X2 pressure reduced to 35 bar by valve 147) is
monitored by the pressure switch (B48).
The leak oil (case drain) flows through the line (L38) and the leak oil filter (66)
back to tank.

Anti cavitation circuit


Due to terminal leakage and in order to avoid a vacuum in the system, e.g.
due travelling downhill, additional oil must be fed into the circuit.
This is done by the anti cavitation valves (32.1 + 32.2 respectively 32.9 + 32.10).

Function:
The line from port T of the control blocks is connected to the return oil pipe
at the tank. Due to the adjustment of the back pressure valve (26) there is
under any circumstance enough oil under pressure available at the anti
cavitation valves. Any time the pressure in the service line to the motors is
less than the back pressure additional oil is forced through the anti cavitation
valves into the circuit.

8.3.2 Travel Motor


Axial piston motor A2FLM
The axial piston units of product group A2FM with fixed displacement can
operate as a hydraulic motor only.
The drive speed is proportional to the consumption capacity.
The output torque increases with the pressure drop between high and low
pressure side.
The motor converts hydrostatic energy into mechanical energy.

(5a) Pivot (center) pin (13) Circlip
(6a) Upper dead point (14) Circlip
(6b) Lower dead point (15) Sealing flange
(7) Cylinder (16) Radial seal ring
Function:
The pressure oil inlet (A or B) and consequent oil outlet (B or A) determine
the output drive direction of the drive shaft (1).
Direction of rotation:
"Clockwise" = Direction of flow A to B
"Counter-Clockwise" = Direction of flow B to A
with view onto drive shaft!
Via the control lens (8) the oil is directed to the cylinder bores.
The piston (5) is moved from the lower (6b) to the upper dead point (6a) by
means of the force acting on it and causes the drive shaft to rotate. On further
rotation of the drive shaft (additional pistons are pressurized) this piston is
moved towards the lower dead point again and oil of the cylinder chamber is
forced out through the kidney formed openings of the control lens. This oil is
fed back to the tank via the return line.

If the supply and return line is changed it changes the output drive direction
of the drive shaft.
By means of the angled arrangement of the cylinder (7) (bent axis design), a
certain piston stroke is produced which results in a fixed displacement per
revolution of the drive shaft. According to the size of the applied flow this
produces a specific output speed.
The output torque at the drive shaft is dependent on the size of the motor and
the required operating pressure.

8.3.3 Rotary Distributor

Task:
The rotary distributor (joint) permits a hydraulic connection between the
superstructure and the under- carriage, that means between the rotating and the
stationary part.

(10) Centering disk (20) Grease nipple
Ports:
A-D Service lines
F Grease
L Leak (case drain) oil
ST Control oil
K1/K2 Return oil to tank

Function:
During operation superstructure and under carriage constantly rotate towards each
other. Nevertheless, the travel oil motors must be supplied with hydraulic oil in
every position in which the superstructure is moved in regard to the undercarriage.
Oil is directed by the control blocks to the ports (A-D) of the housing (1).
The oil flows to the outlet ports (A-D), of the rotor (2), via ring grooves as well as
longitudinal and cross holes. The rotor is bolted to the under carriage. The sealing
of the ring grooves among one another is done by sealing elements (6/7).
The hydraulic connection for return, case drain, house brake and the track
tensioning cylinders is done via the ports (K1/K2), (L), (St) and (St).
The entering of dirt gets blocked by the half disks (9) and the collar of mover (3)
(Principe of labyrinth sealing). Both areas are connected via grease nipple (20) to
the central lubrication system which causes an additional sealing. The rotor (2) is
at the top and bottom section guided in the housing by the guide rings (8).

The 1. planetary gear (7) is driven by the shaft (15) which is connected to the
spur gear.
The planetary gear supports themselves in the internal geared wheel (8)
which causes that the 2. planetary gear (2) is driven by the shaft (12).

Function:
Brake applied:
The outer disks (99) engaged to the housing (96) by serration and the inner
disks (99) in serration connection with the drive shaft (11) are pressed together
by the springs (90). This results in a fixed connection between housing (96) and
shaft (11).

Brake released:
Oil pressure via port (93) reaches the bottom of the piston (91) and forces the
piston against the retainer (100).
This function eliminates the spring force onto the disks thus the brake is
released.
The releasing pressure is 21 - 23 bar, the maximum permissible pressure 50 bar.

This is a so named "Wet Brake" because the brake housing is filled with gear oil.
The oil must be filled in after removing the filler plug (97) up to the edge of the
level control plug (94) thread.

8.3.6 Travel Brake Valve

Illustration Z 21695

Task:
Travel brake valves control the oil flow from the hydraulic motor to the tank
depending on operating pressure. This braking action prevents the motors from
over speeding.

Function:
Spring force keeps the spool in the lowest flow position. with increasing
operating pressure the opening for the return oil flow becomes larger.
On its way to the hydraulic motor the oil flows from A to A1 respectively from
B to B1 depending on the selected travel motion.

Example:
Operating pressure at port A moves spool (1) against the force of the spring (2)
and opens the way for the return oil (B1 to B).
Check valve (3) prevents a direct oil flow from B1 to B.
If the operating pressure decreases to such an extend that the spring force
overcomes the pressure, the flow to the tank becomes restricted, resulting in
braking of the machine.

Pressure check of the Service Line Relief Valves (SRV)


1. Connect pressure gauge to the required check points :
L.H. track R.H. track
M11.2 = Operating pressure for the L.H.-motors M11.3 = Operating pressure for the R.H.-motors
M31.1 = SRV- pressure L.H.-travel forward M31.3 = SRV- pressure R.H.-travel forward
M31.2 = SRV- pressure L.H.-travel backward M31.4 = SRV- pressure R.H.-travel backward

2. Unplug solenoid valve Y16 (located at the central control and filter panel)
to keep the parking brake applied.
3. Start both motors.
4. Engage carefully the desired travel motion and keep the pedal in final
position to built up max. pressure.
5. Increase slowly the MRV-pressure while observing the pressure gauge.
Gauge value must remain at 310bar + 5bar.
If the gauge shows a smaller or greater value the SRV must be adjusted

• A faulty Anti-cavitation Valve (32.1 + 32.2, 32.9 + 32.10) or a leaking


) seal of the rotary joint (21) can influence the SRV pressure reading /
setting. Repair or replace faulty parts if necessary

Adjusting the SRV’s :


+
1. Set MRV’s to 320 bar 10 bar (using an attachment cylinder function)
2. Engage carefully the desired travel motion and keep the pedal in final position
to built up max. pressure.
3. Lower the pressure at the required SRV to 290 bar and then increase up to the
required pressure of 310bar. Proceed with next valves in the same manner.
+
4. Re-set MRV’s to 310 bar 5 bar (using an attachment cylinder function)
and re-plug the solenoid valve Y16.

How to adjust MRV’s and SRV’s:


a) Remove protective cap (1) and loosen lock nut (2).
b) Adjust pressure with set screw (3).
c) Secure adjustment by tightening lock nut (2) and replace cap (1).
d) Re-check pressure setting.

• It is important that the complete MRV-valve and SRV-valve is firmly


) (with 300 Nm) tightened.
Otherwise, internal leaks could occur which result in:
problems of correct adjustment, loud flow noises and high temperatures.

The hydraulic track tensioning system ensures automatically the correct track
tension.
The pilot pressure pumps (9.1 and 9.3) will supply oil to all four tensioning
cylinders (124.1 – 124.4).
The maximum pressure is limited by pressure increasing valves (141).
The pressure in the tensioning cylinders transmits the required force to move
the guide wheels to the front, until the correct track tension is obtained.
External forces acting at the guide wheels will be absorbed through the
pressure accumulators (119.1 + 119.2, first stage) and (120.1 – 120.4, second
stage).

) • For information about the preventative track inspection, refer to the


Operation and Maintenance Manual.

9.1 Functional description:

Illustration Z 22756a and Z 22757a (on next page):

) • Under normal operating condition shut-off cock (118.4) located on the


valve block (140) in the car body is closed. The shut-off cock (118.1)
located on the valve block (140) in the car body and (118.2 and 118.3)
located inside the side frames are open.

The oil flow of the pilot pressure pumps (9.1 + 9.3), filtered by pressure filters
(68.1 + 68.7) enters port "P" of solenoid valve Y16, via the common pilot
pressure supply line (45 bar) of the central control and filter panel (36).
If solenoid valve Y16 is actuated (i.e. pressure at sensor B48), the oil for the
travel parking brake (reduced to 35 bar by the function of valve 147), flows via
rotary joint (21), shut-off cock (118.1), the orifice, the two check valves (121.1 +
121.2) and the shut-off cocks (118.2 + 118.3) the into the tensioning cylinders
(124.1 – 124.4).
The resulting force moves the guide wheels toward the front, until the correct
track tension is obtained.
Simultaneously the system is via check valves (125.1 + 125.2) connected to the
pressure increasing valve (141).
External forces acting at the guide wheels will be absorbed through the pressure
accumulators (119.1 + 119.2, first stage) and (120.1 – 120.4, second stage).

Purpose of the pressure increasing valve


The two system pressures
• 35 bar with engine stopped
• 310 bar with engine running
are controlled by the pressure increasing valve as follows.
With stopped motor and switched off ignition there is no pilot pressure (L39) at
pressure increasing valve (141) and only the lowest adjusted pressure of 35 bar
remains in the system.
As soon as the motor has been started, the pilot pressure acts on the pressure
increasing valve. As a result the system pressure can rise to the adjusted pressure
of 310 bar.

Illustration (Z 22757a):

Cushioning Function
When the tensioning cylinders (124.1 – 124.4) are moved in by external
forces, the none return valves (121.1 + 121.2) will be closed.
A certain amount from the displaced oil of the tensioning cylinders is taken
up by the pressure accumulators.
First stage: at a pressure higher than 31 bar, oil is taken up by the side frame
accumulators (119.1 + 119.2).
Second stage: at a pressure higher than 150 bar, oil is taken up by the center
section accumulators (120.1 – 120.4).
The system pressure can rise up to 310 bar pressure increasing valve (141)
setting.
With reduction of external forces, the oil is pushed back by the accumulator
pressure into the tensioning cylinders.
If the displaced oil volume was higher than the accumulators could take up,
oil is added from the pilot pressure circuit, as soon as the pressure in the lines
to the tensioning cylinder is lower than 35 bar.
To avoid serious damages to the pilot pressure system in case of a faulty
check valve, pressure relief valve (257.1) with a 55 bar setting is installed.

Function:
The valve poppet (2) is connected via the jet bores (11) and (12) with the P
port.
If static pressure increases above the set pressure value, the valve poppet (2)
opens and allows oil to flow freely to tank (T1). This oil generates a pressure
drop in the spring chamber of the main spool, the closing force of the spring
(6) is cancelled, and the main piston (5) opens to allow the pump flow to flow
to tank (T2).
Damped opening and closing is obtained by the throttled volumetric change.
By applying external pressure of Pst max = 60 bar to the main spool (9) via
port X, the pre-tensioning of the pressure spring (3) is increased by the amount
of the piston stroke "S" and system pressure is increased correspondingly.
The setting is fixed by means of the setting screw (7) and lock nut (13); 1 turn
of the screw ~ 150 bar.

The access ladder is hydraulically operated by the hydraulic cylinder (Z) with
the pilot pressure X4 of 60 bar. The movement of the ladder is controlled by
the function of switch:
S84: => Lowering the ladder
S84B => Lifting the ladder
Lifting the ladder is only possible with the engine running. The lowering
movement is possible by hydraulic force with the engine running or by the
force of gravity with the engine at stand sill.

) If the ladder is not in the final upper position the pilot control is
switched off and solenoid valve Y120 activates the hydraulic swing
brake. The display in the operators cab shows a message.

Study together with illustration Z22814 and the electric diagram on the next page.
The pumps (9.1 + 9.3) are delivering the oil through the filters (68.1 + 68.7) and
via check valves (252.3 + 252.4) to port A of pressure relief valve (252.2).
The pressure relief valve (252.2) maintains the adjusted pressure of 60 bar, called
„X4“-pressure.
The „X4“-pressure passes check valve 258.6 and is present at port P of solenoid
valve Y123A/B. If solenoid valve Y123 A or B is energized the oil flows to the
cylinder and the ladder will move up or down. By the function of shuttle valve
(258.4) both service lines are connected to safety valve (258.3), which limits the
pressure to 70 bar.
Return oil from cylinder (137) flows back via solenoid valve Y123A/B to
solenoid valve Y125.
Y125 = ON => Maximum cylinder speed, return oil flow not restricted when
both proximity switches S22 and S91 are not activated (ladder
between top and bottom end position)
Y125 = OFF => Reduced cylinder speed, return oil flow is restricted by orifice
(258.7) when one of the proximity switches S22 (ladder up) or
S91 (ladder down) is activated i.e. cushioning function just
before the final upper or lower end position is reached.
If the ladder is in the “top – position” the activated sensor S22 de-energizes Y125
and energizes Y123A, with the result that the cylinder of the ladder is always
charged with pressure in this position.
If switch S84 is in neutral position and the ladder in “ bottom – position” sensor
S91 de-energise all solenoids (Y125; Y123 A+B) and the ladder is “blocked”.

10.1 Function of hydraulically operated access ladder

Cont'd:

Prime drive is not running and the ladder is in the “final upper position”

With switch S84 activated in position 2 (ladder down) solenoid valve Y123B
and relay K132 are active. Y123B connects the piston side of the cylinder to
the return line and K132 activates Y125, so that the oil can return without
resistance to the tank. Now the ladder can move down only by its own mass
(due to the force of gravity). The operator has to push the ladder slightly until
it starts moving down by its own weight.
The rod site of the cylinder receives oil via anti-cavitation valve (258.5).
It is not necessary to activate the key switch, because the involved
components are directly battery supplied via fuse F17.
There is an additional pull switch S84A below the ladder support. With this
switch activated the ladder can moved down from the ground.

• Make sure that there are no obstacles in the moving range of the
ladder. Stop raising the ladder by releasing the control switch (S84) if
there are any obstacles in the moving range.
• Mount the ladder only in completely lowered position.
• Do not lift persons or objects (tools) with the hydraulic access ladder.
Serious injury or death could occur.

Checking / Setting the 70 bar pressure relief valve (258.3) – safety valve
1. Connect pressure gauges to check point M1.1 and M37.1.
2. Start both engines.
3. Lift the ladder to the final upper (working) position, using switch (S84B)
4. Check the X4-pressure at M1.1 and M37.1, required 60 bar.
5. Increase slowly the X4-pressure, by turning in set screws (2) of pressure
relieve valve (252.2), while observing the pressure gauges. Stop as soon
the pressure does not raise any further.
The gauge pointers should remain at 70 bar ± 2 bar.
6. If necessary correct the setting as follow:
a) Turn set screw (2) of valve (252.2) a ½ turn further in, the gauge
pointers will remain at the value shown under item #5
b) Set the pressure of 70 bar ± 2 bar with set screw (4) at valve (258.3).
c) Tighten lock nut (3).
7. Reset valve (252.2) to 60 bar and tighten lock nut (1), adjustment is finished.

Additional to the hydraulic diagram from illustration Z22496b use the respective
electric diagram.

The pumps (9.1) and (9.3) are delivering oil through filter (68.1) and (68.7) to
port A of pressure relief valve (252.2).
The pressure relief valve (252.2) maintains the adjusted pressure of 60 bar, called
„X4“-pressure, and is present at port P of solenoid valve Y124A/B.
If the solenoid valves Y124A together with solenoid valve Y124C is energised
pressurised oil flows to the arm cylinder piston side and the refilling arm will
move up. If the solenoid valves Y124B together with solenoid valve Y124C is
energised pressurised oil flows to the arm cylinder rod side and the refilling arm
will move down.
Solenoid valve Y124C act as a security lock to prevent a uncontrolled down
moving of the refilling arm. This valve is a special 100% leek oil free valve.
All solenoid valves Y124A/B and C are PLC controlled. Control switch B (S87)
is connected to the PLC and act as a remote control. The refilling arm can only
moved down or up with the enable switch S94 (E) turned to ON position “1”.
Only moving down is possible by gravity with engines stand still and key switch
S1 activated.

When diodes are fitted to a relay, they are fitted to allow a current flow in one
direction only. An LED* (Light Emitting Diode) indicates a current flow if it
lights up.
When diodes ** are fitted anti-parallel to a relay coil, they absorb the high
induced voltage caused by making and breaking the current flow through the
coil.
This occurs each time we operate a switch supplying current to the coil. The
diode effect allows the induced current to circulate within the coil windings and
decay when the energy to the coil is cut.

* LED between A1 and coil


** Diode between A1 and A2.

Coding Types and Number Systems


ASCII American Standard Code for Information Interchange: A standardized
information processing code developed in the USA based on
7 bits = 0 – 127 (7-bit code), (extended ASCII-code of 8-bit = 0 - 255)

Digital (Eng. Digit) is the representation of a continuos value or a physical


quantity (e.g. voltage) in several levels as a numeric value.
With regard to automation devices one also refers to “word processing”
in which case a “word” is a number (e.g. 573).

Analogue is the representation of a continuos physical quantity (e.g. current or


voltage) which corresponds to the value of a proportional condition
(e.g. rotational speed, routing, temperature, etc.)
For an automation device this physical value converted into 1024 levels,
for example (10-bit analogues-digital conversion). The digitalized value
thus acts within a defined range (e.g. 0 ≡ 0 volts to 1024 ≡ 10 volts) in
proportion to a certain input quantity (e.g. voltage). Conversely, by using
a digital-analog conversion, a digitalized value can be converted into a
continuous output signal (current, voltage).

Numeral A value expressed in one digit: from 0 to 9 in the decimal system and 0-F
in the hexadecimal system.

Number Value consisting of one or more numeric characters.

Baud Unit used in serial transmission of data: bits per second (bit/s).

Baud Rate Modulation rate or transmission speed of serial transmission of binary


numbers. The DIGSY plus uses a baud rate of 2400 baud for
communication and down-loading.

Binary Numbers, data and information which are exclusively expressed using
the two values 0 and 1 are bivalent = binary dates and information,
exclusive with the use of digits 0 and 1 (e.g. 1 = current 0 = no current).

Dual(Binary) Number (Dual = 2) is the simplest binary numeric expression. Each


position is arranged according to increasing powers of 2.
Example: 13463dec. = 0011 0100 1001 0111dual

14.2 How to Proceed due Maintenance and Installation


Cont’d.:

• Serious damage may happen at irrelevant opening and improper repair.


Open always the resp. circuit breaker before opening a unit.
I/O – cables may only be connect or disconnect in a powerless state.

A BIM module will be damaged while supplying an external power


of 24VDC to the inputs and/ or outputs. If it is necessary for
faultfinding or external unit checks the connection to the PLC has to be
interrupted.

• Without power interruption the interface cable are only allowed to be


disconnect or connect when following preconditions are given:
1. The cable must be shielded and the shield must be connected to the
cover of the plug-in connector.
2. A potential balance must be made by connecting the GND
potential parts of the plug connector parts before connecting
the cables.

• Replace the fuses only by fuses which matches the values given in the
technical dates

ã • Do not through batteries into open flame and do not solder at their cell
body, explosion can occur (max. Temperature 100° C). Do not open and
do not recharge batteries that contain lithium or mercury. Replace
them by same type only!
• Dispose batteries and accumulators as special waste.

frame / machine ground by a cable (as short as possible) with 2,5 mm2
cross section.
When using plug connectors with metal boxes and connected shield the
additional complete shielding of the analog cable with the ground bolt is
not necessary. But attention must be played that the metal box is connected
by screws with the PLC housing.
The twisted signal lines are pair wise shielded and already via the 50-pol
female part of the connector connected to ground. The single shielding at
the free end of the cable must not be connected with earth.

outputs of the BIM modules of the PLC.
• If it is necessary while tracing faults, the cable to the PLC must be
disconnected subsequent to a component check, thus as relays,
solenoids or others by the PLC controlled components.

Procedure: Study together with the relevant circuit diagram


1. Find the terminal between the component and the PLC.
2. Example terminal 8X2-280 for the solenoid valve 8Y6.1.
3. Disconnect the wire on one side of the terminal.
4. Now supply 24 V to the solenoid and check function of it.
5. Finally re-connect the wire to the terminal

input. A system with contacts only leads to a (high ohmical) input if dust or
moisture bridges the contacts.
PULL-DOWN resistors are installed with a normal NC contact (means with a
de-energized relay or normal closed switch contact) thus the ECS recognize a
fault after switching ON the system.
PULL-UP resistors are installed with a normal NO contact (means with a de-
energized relay or normal open switch contact) thus the ECS recognize a fault
after switching ON the system.

Analog Inputs:
„EW 14.1“ for pressure sensor B87A (0 up to 500 bar)
Measuring channel: 0......10 V

Function:
- Voltage supply for the pressure sensor: 24 V
- Output voltages Ua (OUT+, pin 2) of the pressure sensors:
Sensor 0 – 0,4 bar ¿ K= 25 V / bar
Sensor 0 – 60 bar ¿ K= 0,1667 V / bar
Sensor 0 – 500 bar ¿ K= 0,02 V / bar

Possible voltage checks:


24 V Supply between supply line 15 (start at circuit breaker) and GND.
Output voltage OUT (pin 2) of the sensor
between GND. Use respective circuit diagram for terminal numbers.

* How to calculate the Output voltage Ua:


Ua = output voltage proportional to the pressure input.
P = input pressure
K = calculation factor for the respective pressure sensor.

Ua = (P x K) + 1 V

Example for 200 bar and a 0 – 500 bar sensor:


Ua = (200 x 0,02) + 1 V = 5 V

14.5.3 Temperature Measuring and trouble shooting Illustration Z22803a


General: (study with the respective circuit diagram)
The signal of the PT100 temperature probe can’t connect direct to the ANM –
Module (Analog input of the PLC). A temperature transducer module change
the PT100 signal (Ohm) into a suitable current (mA) signal for the ANM –
Module. The temperature probe is connected with a four wire technique to
compensate the line resistance of the long wire between the X2 switch board
and the temperature probe.

Analog Inputs (eg.: Hydraulic oil temperature sensor B15)


The temperature probe B15 is with 4-wire technology (distorting compensation)
connected to the transducer U15 terminal 1, 4, 2, and 3 (measuring range: -50°
C......+150° C). The output terminal 5 and 6 of the transducer is connected to the
ECS analog input „EW 2.1“ (input range 4 – 20 mA). The transducer need 24 V
power supply via terminal 7 and 8 (+24V, ground).

Function:
The temperature transducer convert the
measured values from the PT100 temperature
probe into electrically standardized analog
signals. With the four wire technique the length
and the cross section of the wires are not
important; because the electrical resistance of the
two current lines gets compensated. The sensor
is supplied with a low electrical current from the
temperature transducer (I+ and I-). Additional to
the temperature probe (PT100) resistance the
line resistance influence the current “flow” what
falsified the PT100 measurement. To
compensate the line resistance there are two
additional lines (U+ and U-) close to the PT100
connected. Via this lines the transducer measure
exact a tension drop between in- and output of
the PT100 probe witch is only created by the
PT100 resistance. Because there is no current “flow” through this lines which
are influenced by the line resistance (compared to hydraulic system- it’s like
a test hose with a pressure gauge). The module convert this tension drop into
a current signal (4-20mA) which is proportional to the temperature.
In the interest of proper function must the line resistance not exceed 50 Ω.
Additional the lines must be shielded according to the standards. The picture
shows the wiring of a PT100 probe to a temperature transducer in four wire
technique.

14.5.3 Temperature Measuring and trouble shooting, illustration Z22803a


Cont’d.:

Possible measurements PT100:


Disconnect the wires at the resistor and measure the resistance across the
resistor.
Compare the measured resistance with the values given in the table on next
page.
If the value correspond to the temperature measured with an other temperature
gauge the PT100 resistor is OK.; otherwise replace resistor.
Wiring:
Disconnect the wires at the resistor and inside X2-box at the temperature
transducer terminal 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Measure the line resistance to the ground.
All single wire resistance must be the same.

14.6 Hints for reading the functional flow charts


14.6.1 General

) • Probably the best aid for trouble shooting is the confidence of knowing
the system and how to use the ECS. Every component has a purpose in
the system. The construction and operating characteristics of each one
should be understood.
• Use always the electric/hydraulic circuit diagram the flowchart and
the operation manual for the specific machine.

1. Select on page 1 of the flow chart, (which contains the table of contents
and the main program) the respective subprogram, for example the
Power-Master lube system.

2. Components in the flow chart, have the same identification code as in the
electric/hydraulic circuit diagram, as shown in cross reference list (page 2-4).
For example: Relay K50 = ?
On page 2 (cross reference list) you find out that relay K50 is shown on
page 43 of the flowchart.

3. On each page of the respective subprogram you will find the functional
description in plain text.
In case of problems concerning reading the program loops, you may find
answers in the frequently asked questions list on page 6 and 7 of the flow
chart.

With the pump and controller system in a rest state a pre-set pause time interval
occurs as determined by the PLC.

Diagram position (a):


A 24 VDC signal from the PLC activate solenoid valve (2) that opens and activate
the lubrication pump. (*). As solenoid valve (2) opens hydraulic oil flows through
the pressure reducing valve (4), it lowers the hydraulically pilot oil pressure to the
operating range of the hydraulic driven lube pump. The reduced pilot oil pressure
operates now the grease pump. The oil cylinder shuttle’s the grease cylinder at 18
– 20 double strokes per minute and delivering 612 – 680 cm³ (37.3 – 41.5 in³) of
lubricant per minute (approx. 550 – 612 g / 19.64 – 21.45 oz.)
At the same time a 24 V signal energize release valve (7), it close now the release
line to the lubrication container.

PI-phase
With energized release valve (7) (*) and solenoid valve (2) the pump continues to
cycle until maximum pressure is achieved and the injectors have metered
lubricant to the bearings.

Oscillation Cylinder and Control Block, illustration Z 21174

Description:
Oscillation cylinder (6) is auto directional controlled, non pressure related. This
differential cylinder is connected to the pilot pressure suppliy line (P) and a tank
line (T). The speed is contolled by a flow contol valve (3) and the maximum
working pressure is controlled by a pressure reducing valve (2).

Function:
The Oscillatin cylinder (6) starts as soon pilot pressure is send via the connection
(P) to the control block (1). Design related the cylinder (6) retract always first
after start or from any position the piston has stopped before. When the cylinder
reaches the fully retracted position the flow will be redirected automatically and
the cylinders moves in the extending position. If the cylinder comes to an stop in
between the end positions weather the oil supply get stopped or the cylinder is
hold back by a higher work resistance than the supply pressure, the cylinder
changes direction and retracts.

Adjustments (illustration Z21175b):

Stroke speed
For a sufficient lube pump operation 18 – 20 double strokes / min for the pump
drive cylinder are required. Therefore the flow reducing valve (3) has to be
adjusted accordingly.
Procedure:
1. Remove electrical plug connection form the discharge valve (7), so no
pressure built up will take place during the following test.
2. Start motor.
3. Switch “ON” the lube system annually and count strokes per minute, visible
on the moving up and down of pipe (1).
If adjustment is required:
a. Loosen lock nut (3.1)
b. Turn adjustment (3) until the right number of strokes is achieved.
turn set screw ccw for more speed and cw to reduce the speed
c. Tighten lock nut (3.1).

Working pressure
The pressure reducing valve (2) mounted in the oscillation control block reduce
the supply pressure internally to maximal allowed 45 bar.
The pressure ration is 6,55 to 1, that means 45 bar supply pressure result in 295 bar
maximum lubricant pressure.
At the end of line pressure switch the pressure should be 180 ±0,5 bar. With the
lubricant line resistance and different lubricant viscosity the pressure at the
lubricant pump output must be higher as 180 bar. For standard condition adjust the
maximum pump pressure to 220 bar –250 bar, depend on lubricant line resistance
and different lubricant viscosity.

Procedure:
1. Disconnect quick coupling (8), so the pump will be blocked when started.
2. Start motor.
3. Switch “ON” the lube system manually, the gauge should show 220-250 bar.
If adjustment is required:
a. Loosen lock nut (2.1)
d. Turn adjustment (2) until the right pressure is shown at the gauge.
turn set screw ccw for lower pressure and cw to increase the pressure
b. Tighten lock nut (2.1).
c. Reconnect quick coupling (8).

• If the required pressure can’t be adjusted, check adjustment of the 60


) bar pilot pressure valve (X-4 pressure) at the filter and control panel in
the machinery house.

the lubricant supply line.
By the function of the solenoid valve (7) the port to the vent line (15) (return
line to the lubricant container) is closed, thus a pressure built up is possible.
The high-pressure barrel pump (1) supplies lubricant into the supply line (8). It
continuos through the lubricant filter (12) to the injectors (metering valves) (18).

) • The picture shows an example only. The hole system includes much
more injectors which are connected via pipes or hoses to the supply
line (8).

In the Injectors the lubricant forced with full pump pressure via the feed lines
(19) to the lube points.
The actual operating pressure can be monitored at the pressure gauge (14)

) • It follows an exemplary explanation for a central lubrication system


for machines equipped with PLC System. For details see the circuit
diagram of the respective machine. The Lubrication Systems are
PLC controlled. No relay adjustment necessary.

Central lubrication system controlling :


The PLC from the ECS System controls the whole lubrication systems.
The solenoid valves (Y7, Y7A or Y9, Y9A) on top of the lubrication stations are
direct connected to digital output ports of the PLC.
On a few machines there are additional relays between PLC outputs and the
solenoid valves.
Depend on a PLC input from the end-of-line pressure switch (B43 or B46) and a
PLC internal time counter the grease system start a lubrication cycle.
The lubrication cycle starts.
If the pause time elapsed the PLC energize both solenoid valves (Y7, Y7A or
Y9, Y9A) of the respective lubrication system. The motor must run. The pilot
pump pressure activate now the lubrication pump and the lubrication pressure to
the injectors increase.
If the lubricant pressure reach the adjusted pressure of the end-of-line pressure
switch (B43 or B46) its contact change and the PLC input signal change.
The PLC de energize the respective lubrication pump supply valve (Y7 or Y9) to
stop the pump. For the next 5 min the respective pressure releasing valve (Y7A
or Y9A) are continued energized to keep the lubricant pressure still on a high
level to be able all injectors inject the hole adjusted amount of lubricant.
After the 5 min. pressure holding time the PLC de energize the respective
pressure releasing valve (Y7A or5 Y9A) The lubricant pressure drops and the
injectors move by spring load back in its initial position. A PLC internal counter
is still counting a additional decreasing time to monitor the end-of-line pressure
switch (B43 or B46) position. The PLC internal time counter is still counting up
to the next lubrication cycle.
The lubrication cycle is finished.

The next lubrication cycle starts after the decreasing time and pause time has
expired.
With the switch S24 an additional lubrication can be carried out any time provided
the end of line pressure switch (B43) contact is closed.

Monitoring:
The orderly built-up of the pressure in the lubricant supply line is monitored by
the end-of-line switch (B43 or B46).
If the pressure adjusted at the end-of-line switch is not reached within the adjusted
maximal increasing time the PLC switch off both solenoid (Y7 and Y7A or Y9
and Y9A) valves and send the fault message ”Central lubrication system fault” or
“Swing ring lubrication system fault” to the text display at the dash board.
If the excavator is still working additional four hours with faulty lubrication
system the PLC stop the bucket function. This function is to prevent trouble
depend on a lack of lubricant.

Capacitive analog sensor for lubricant level monitoring,


Illustration Z 21179f

Task:
A lubricant (L) maximum filling level monitoring is necessary to prevent an
overfilling of the grease barrel (C) via the refilling system (only systems with
refilling arm). The PLC use the analog level signal from the sensor to activate a
lamp at the refilling arm just in the moment when the lubricant container is full.
The sensor (S) is mounted on top of the lubricant container and reaches into the
lubricant.
The refilling level activate only a message at the text display to inform that the
lubricant level must be filled up. The message comes up if the lubricant level
reach 5% (910 mm from the cover plate).
The minimum level stop the respective lubrication pump and release the
lubricant pressure until the lubricant level reach the 0% mark (950 mm from the
cover plate). It is necessary to stop the lubrication system with empty lubricant
container to prevent the lubrication pump from running dry. With empty
lubricant container the bucket motion will be switched off after four hours.

Function:
The capacitively level sensor (S) check continuous the lubricant level (L) and
convert the capacitive signal into a current signal between 4 and 20mA. The
current signal increase with increasing lubricant level.

Use the specific electric circuit diagram and program flow charts.

) • The capacitively proximity switch used in our machines are


programmed by the supplier and therefor no adjustment or settings
required.

Principle of operation:
By the lubricant pump, the lubricant is supplied to the centered bore hole (B) of the
lubrication type pinion (R). Bore hole (B) must be perfectly aligned to the center of
the lubrication type pinion (A) to be greased, so that lubricant leaves the tooth flank
always when the gear tooth is in contact. The grease outlet (D) of the lubricating type
pinion is arranged at a different angle for each tooth, so that the lubricant is distributed
in a uniform and perfect manners on the tooth flank of the drive pinion to be
lubricated.
Function:
As soon as the adjusted "Pause-Time" elapse the solenoid valves (2 + 7). energized
and the lubricant pump (1) start to pump lubricant.
By the function of the solenoid valve (8) the port to the vent line (15) (return line to
the lubricant container) closed, thus a pressure built up is possible.
The high-pressure lubricant pump (1) supplies lubricant into the supply line (8). It
continuos through the lubricant filter (12) to the injectors (metering valves) (18).

• The picture shows an example with one pinion only. There are also
machines which have more lubrication type pinion (dummy wheel).

By the injectors the lubricant is forced with full pump pressure via the feed line
(19) to the centered bore hole (B) of the lubricating type pinion (R).

The actual operating pressure can be monitored at the pressure gauge (14)
and checked at the pressure check point (17). When all injector pistons have
reached there final position no more lubricant will accepted from the supply
line (8) which causes a pressure increase in the supply line.
Depend on different factory settings vent valve (7) de energize together with
solenoid valve (2) or after a fix adjusted time of max. 5 minutes.
With de-energized solenoid valve (7) the port to vent line (15) ( return line to
the lubricant container ) opened and release the lubricant and lubricant
pressure in to the container.
With the diminishing pressure in the main line the pistons of the injector (18)
are forced by spring force in their initial position and the discharge chambers
fill up with grease for the following lubrication cycle.
The system is prepared for the next lubrication cycle. The operation is
reinitiated after the next "Pause Time".

The proper build-up of the pressure in the supply line (8) is monitored by the
end-of-line switch (16).
If the pressure adjusted at the end-of-line switch is not reached within the
adjusted "Monitoring Time" the fault message ”Slew ring gear lubrication
system fault” is shown on the text display and the pump switch off.

• Grease qualities to be used:


According to NLGI classes 000, 00, 0 and 1 according to the lowest
ambient temperature in the operation area

) • It follows an exemplary explanation for a Slew Ring Lubrication


System for machines equipped with ECS System. For details see the
circuit diagram of the respective machine. The Lubrication Systems
are controlled through the ECS. No relay adjustment required.

Slew Ring Gear Lubrication (Teeth lubrication) controlling :


The PLC from the ECS System control the whole lubrication systems.
Solenoid valves (Y9, Y9A) on top of the lubrication container are direct
connected to digital output ports of the PLC.
On few machines there are additional relays between PLC and the solenoid
valves.
Depend on a PLC input from the end-of-line pressure switch (B43 or B46) and a
PLC internal time counter the grease system start a lubrication cycle.
The lubrication cycle starts.
If the pause time elapsed and the swing function was activated for a short time
the PLC energize both solenoid valves ( Y9 , Y9A ). To start one swing ring
gear lubrication cycle the swing function must be activated one time.
If the lubricant pressure reach the adjusted pressure of the end of line pressure
switch its contact change the position now the input port of the PLC change.
The PLC de energize the respective lubrication pump supply valve (Y9) to stop
the pump. For the next 5 min the respective pressure releasing valve (Y9A) are
continued energized to keep the lubricant pressure still on a high level to be able
all injectors inject the hole amount of lubricant.
After 5 min. pressure holding time the PLC de energize the respective pressure
releasing valve (Y9A) The lubricant pressure drops and the injectors move by
spring load back in its initial position. A internal counter is still counting a
additional decreasing time to prevent a to early new lubrication cycle with the
risk of not complete reset injectors.
The lubrication cycle is finished.

The next lubrication cycle starts after the decreasing time and pause time has
expired.
With the switch S26 an additional lubrication can be carried out any time provided
the end of line pressure switch (B46) contact is closed.

Monitoring:
The orderly built-up of the pressure in the lubricant supply line is monitored by
the end-of-line switch (B46).
If the pressure adjusted at the end-of-line switch is not reached within the adjusted
maximal increasing time the PLC switch off both solenoid valves (Y9 and Y9A)
and send the fault message ”Central lubrication system fault” to the text display at
the dash board.
If the excavator was working additional four hours with faulty lubrication system
the PLC stop the bucket function. This function is to prevent trouble depend on a
lack of lubricant.

Capacitive analog sensor for lubricant level monitoring,


Illustration Z 21179f

Task:
A lubricant (L) maximum filling level monitoring is necessary to prevent an
overfilling of the grease barrel (C) via the refilling system (only systems with
refilling arm). The PLC use the analog level signal from the sensor to activate a
lamp at the refilling arm just in the moment when the lubricant container is full.
The sensor (S) is mounted on top of the lubricant container and reaches into the
lubricant.
The refilling level activate only a message at the text display to inform that the
lubricant level must be filled up. The message comes up if the lubricant level
reach 5% (910 mm from the cover plate).
The minimum level stop the respective lubrication pump and release the
lubricant pressure until the lubricant level reach the 0% mark (950 mm from the
cover plate). It is necessary to stop the lubrication system with empty lubricant
container to prevent the lubrication pump from running dry. With empty
lubricant container the bucket motion will be switched off after four hours.

Function:
The capacitively level sensor (S) check continuous the lubricant level (L) and
convert the capacitive signal into a current signal between 4 and 20mA. The
current signal increase with increasing lubricant level.

Use the specific electric circuit diagram and program flow charts.

) • The capacitively proximity switch used in our machines are


programmed by the supplier and therefor no adjustment or settings
required.

Adjustments

End of line switch setting, illustration Z 21185

1. Connect pressure gauge to check point close to the end of line pressure
switch.

) • Use an other gauge as for checking hydraulic pressures because the


gauge remains filled with grease after the test

2. Block the swing function with the swing ring parking, use the switch at
the dash board.
3. Start motor.
4. Start a lube cycle with the dashboard switch S26 and activate for a short
time the swing function to the left or right.
+
5. Watch pressure gauge. At a pressure of 180 10 bar the end of line
switch must react and the lubricants pump must be stopped.*

* If at the same time the pressure shown at the built-in gauge is noted
down, this pressure can be taken for later on checks as a reference
pressure.
But be careful this pressure is higher than the pressure shown at the test
gauge because of the long distance between pump and end of the
supply line.

)
• 180 bar is the normal setting.
Under particular circumstances it may be necessary to increase the
pressure slightly

If re-setting is required:

6. Screw out screw (1) and take off cover (2).


7. Alter the spring tension with adjustment screw (3) that the switch
operates at 180 bar.
8. Install cover (2) and screw (1).

Function: illustr. Z 21188

Pos. 1 The injector piston (2) is in its normal or rest position. The discharge
chamber (9) is filled with lubricant from the previous cycle.
Under the pressure of incoming lubricant the slide valve (4) is about
to open the passage (5) leading to the piston.

Pos. 2 When the slide valve (4) uncovers the passage lubricant is admitted to
the top of piston (2) forcing the piston down. The piston force
lubricant from the discharge chamber (9) through the outlet port (10)
to the bearing or progressive distributor.
The lubricant pressure at the bearing or the progressive distributor is
always the same as the pump pressure.

Pos. 3 As the piston completes its stroke, it pushes the slide valve (4) past the
passage, cutting off further admission of lubricant to the passage.
Piston and slide valve remain in this position until lubricant pressure
in the supply line is vented (relieved) at the pump.
This is indicated by the injector stem (8). (fully in)

Pos. 4 After pressure is relieved the compressed spring (3) moves the slide
valve (4) to closed position.
This opens the port from the measuring chamber and permits the
lubricant to be transferred from the top of the piston to the discharge
chamber.
This is also indicated by the injector stem (8) (fully out)

The injector body (1) has two outlets ports (a + b), one above the other.
The connector tube (2) is used to couple the injectors together.
Lubricant from injector No. 1 is directed through the connector tube into the
discharge chamber of injector No. 2 but simply combines with the lubricant
delivery of injector No. 2 to yield double output from the out- let of injector
No. 2.
This does not interfere with the operation of injector No. 2.
