4. Relay
When certain current flows through the relay coil, the coil will produce electromagnetic field
and pull in the relay contact point. When the coil is de-energized, the two contact points will be
disconnected.
The intermediate relays applied by RS8140 road roller are used to control the interlock start, 5 s
delay, electric pusher, brake latch and front/rear working lamps, and they are all placed in the
central electrical control box.

Fig. 3-3RS8140 applies two kinds of relays;

3-5
Service Manual of RS8140 Road Roller

For the first kind of relay, there are five terminals 85, 86, 87, 87a and 30. After the coil between
terminal 85 and 86 is electrified, terminal 30 will be connected to 87 and disconnected from 87a;
after the coil is de-energized, terminal 30 will be disconnected from 87 and connected to 87a.

Fig. 3-4 Fig. 3-5


For the second kind, there are four terminals 30, 87, 85 and 86. After the coil between terminals 85
and 86 is electrified, terminal 30 will be connected to 87; after the coil is de-energized, terminal 30
will be disconnected from 87.

Fig. 3-6 Fig. 3-7


Method to determine the relay for damage: Set the multimeter to resistance range to measure
whether the resistance between terminals 85 and 86 is about 300 ohm and that between pins 30 and
87 is infinitely great. Connect pin 86 to 24 V DC voltage negative and pin 85 to 24 V DC voltage
positive, and the pins 30 and 87 should be connected.
A freewheel diode is built inside this relay, therefore, #85 terminal must be connected to the ground
other than #86 terminal, otherwise, the relay will fail to work properly.
3.1.3 Description of complete roller’s electrical system
Electrical system is an important part of road roller with main functions of starting and controlling
the diesel engine, lighting, indicating signal and monitoring instruments etc. The condition of
electrical system has direct effect on the operational reliability of road roller and driving/operating
safety etc.

3-6
Service Manual of RS8140 Road Roller

Electrical system for this road roller mainly consists of the following five parts:
1. Power supply: Including battery and alternator assembly etc.
2. Starting devices: Mainly including starter, starting relay and electric lock etc. It is used to start
the diesel engine.
3. Lighting signal device: Mainly including various lighting lamps, signal lamps, horns and
buzzers etc. It is used to ensure personal and roller safety and smooth operation under any
operating conditions.
4. Instrument monitoring equipment: Including various pressure gauges, pressure sensor,
thermometer, temperature sensor and low-pressure alarm device etc.
5. Auxiliary equipment: Including electric wiper, heater and A/C etc.
Features of road roller’s electrical system
1. Low voltage:
The rated voltage of electrical system is 24 V by applying two 12 V batteries in series.
2. DC:
The diesel engine is started by the starter motor, which is a series motor powered by a battery
that is always charged with direct current. Therefore, the electrical system of road roller applies
DC.
3. Negative ground:
The battery negative is connected to the frame. The complete frame is served as a conductor,
herein referred to as “ground wire”. In this manual, the “ground” generally indicates that the
current goes through the frame to the battery negative.
4. Single-wire system
The battery positive is connected to the electrical device with negative to the ground (namely to
the road roller frame), and the metal structure of the frame is used as one of the conductors in
the circuit. The circuit formed in this way is called single-wire system.
The single-wire system is applied by all electrical devices for this road roller. Any complete
circuit should consist of power supply, fuse, switch, control device, electrical device and
conductor etc. The current should always flow from power positive through fuse, switch,
control device and conductor etc. to electrical device, and then goes through conductor (or
ground wire) back to power negative, thus a circuit can be formed. When consulting schematic
diagram and analyzing a problem, the above-mentioned principle can be applied.

Service Manual of RS8140 Road Roller

Principle description:
1. Turn on the power switch, and the voltage of two batteries (connected in series with 24 V rated
voltage) will pass through #56a conductor → fuse → #56 wire → connector CN24 → #56 wire
→ connector CN5 → #56 wire → power relay → fuse F2 → #121 wire → connector CN3 →
contact point B of starting switch.
2. Turn on the starting switch (turn the starting switch to ON), terminal B and BR will be
connected, and current will pass through #28 wire → connector CN3 → power relay, then the
coil of power relay will be electrified. Turn on the contact point switch, #56 wire and #2 wire
will be connected, the voltage will pass through #56 wire → fuse F4-F17 → the complete roller
electrical load; moreover, the current will pass through #28 wire → flameout relay to make the
coil of flameout relay being electrified, and the voltage will pass through #56 wire → #29
conductor → connector CN2 → #29 conductor → connector CN23 → #29 wire → flameout
solenoid valve to make the flameout solenoid valve being electrified and the fuel passage open.
3. Turn the starting switch to START, contact points B, BR and R2 will be connected, so will
#121, #28 and #60 conductors. The voltage will pass through #60 wire → connector CN1 →
60b → starting interlock relay. While engaging the transmission to NEUTRAL, the neutral
switch will connect #0 wire and #59 wire, then the coil of starting interlock relay will be
electrified; the voltage will pass through #60 wire → starting interlock relay → #22 wire →
connector CN1 → # 22 wire → connector CN23 → #22 wire → starter motor control terminal,
then the starter motor will come into operation.

CAUTION
The motor start is jointly controlled by the transmission neutral switch and starting
interlock relay, and the security protection is ensured by controlling the high current via
the low one.
3.2.1 Battery
The complete roller applies two water-free and maintenance-free lead acid batteries. A single
battery can supply 200 A - 600 A starting current to the starter motor in a short time (5-10 s).
Main parameters
Rated voltage: 12 V
Rated capacity of 20h: 120 A.h
Reserve capacity: 230 min
Low-temperature starting current: 850 A

Main battery functions in a circuit:


1. The battery can be a reversible DC power supply connected to the alternator in parallel to
power on the electrical devices.
2. The battery can supply large starting current to the starter motor in a short time to start the
engine.
3. The battery, also equivalent to a large capacitor, can absorb the overvoltage in the circuit at any
time, thus protect the electrical parts from breakdown.
Features of maintenance-free battery
The maintenance-free battery, also known as MF battery, means that maintenance operations such
as filling distilled water, checking electrolyte level and electrolyte concentration are not required
during the period of normal use.
An electrolyte densitometer is installed inside the maintenance-free battery, which can
automatically display the electricity condition of battery and the electrolyte level. The sight glass of
the densitometer can display in the following three colors:
 Green: The electricity amount is above 65% - electricity is sufficient and the battery can work
normally.
 Black: The electricity amount is below 65% - lack of electricity is heavy and supplementary
charge is required.
 Light yellow: The battery will be scrapped.

6 Optical SOC indicator 7 Small green ball Inspection method of voltage at battery terminal
Set the multimeter to DC 200 V DC to do inspection. Connect the red probe to the tip of battery
positive output cable and the black one to that of negative output cable, and the reading on the
multimeter is the voltage (generally between 24-26 V) at the battery terminal.
Application and inspection of battery tester
Battery test:
1. Clamp the testing clips to the battery terminals. If the indicator lamp on the surface comes on,
then the clip is connected to positive, and the test can be done regardless of the polarity. If the
indicator lamp dose not illuminate, check whether the clip is clamped properly.
2. Press and hold the load switch until the pointer is stable (no more than 10 s), and observe the
pointer. If it stays in the green area, the battery is in good condition; in the red area, the
electricity is low; and in the yellow area, the battery is in poor condition.
Charging system test:
1. Connect the tester in the way as the battery is measured.
2. Start the engine and make it reach normal working temperature.
3. Engine speed should reach 1,200-1,500 rpm. Note to keep the engine clean; meanwhile, do not
press down the load switch.
4. If the reading is within the red area, it shows that the charging system is faulty and the battery
will be undercharged; if the reading is within the green area, it shows that the charging system
is in good condition and the battery can be charged.

1 Load switch

CAUTION
Before the test, measure the battery open circuit for voltage. If the voltage is no lower
than 12.4 V, do the test. Otherwise, do the test and determination after the battery is
charged.
The battery loading time should not exceed 10 s.
Charging specification for battery
If the battery is stored for a long time (for example, out-of-service for more than 6 months since the
delivery) or the battery status indicator turns black because the battery is over discharged due to the
road roller charging system failure or other misoperation, the following methods are recommended
for charging:
At room temperature, connect the battery positive and negative to DC alternator output positive and
negative respectively, and charge the battery for 16-24 h at a constant voltage of 16.0 ± 0.1V.
During the constant voltage charging, if the battery temperature exceeds 45 °C or the charging
current exceeds 25 A, the voltage should be lowered appropriately and the charging time extended.

CAUTION
The battery should be charged in a well-ventilated area, and pay attention to the
electricity safety.

3.2.2 Power switch


The power switch controls the battery negative and frame (ground) for connection and
disconnection. Turn on the power switch, the battery negative will be connected to the frame, and
turn on the electric lock, the complete roller electrical load will be electrified; turn off the power
switch, the battery negative will be disconnected from the frame and the circuit will fail to form a
loop (even if the electric lock is turned on, the complete roller will not be electrified, thus cannot be
started).

Fig. 3-13

WARNING
1. When the road roller stops working, please note to turn off the power switch in case
of electric leakage or other accidents!
2. If the complete roller circuit fires or the engine does not flame out after the electric
lock is turned off, or other accidents occur, please turn off the power switch
immediately!
3. Before connecting the battery wire or retightening its connector, or removing the
battery wire, please always turn off this switch for the sake of safety!
4. Before welding the complete roller, please always turn off this switch.
3.2.3 Staring switch
This power switch has six pins B, BR, R1, R2, C and ACC.
For the function gears of starting switch, see the table below:

Table 3-4

3-14
Service Manual of RS8140 Road Roller

Method to determine the starting switch for damage: Disconnect the #121, #28 and #60 conductors
from the starting switch, remove the starting switch from the roller, and set the digital multimeter to
200 Ω resistance to check the switch as per the function gears. If the connection is normal, the
switch works well; otherwise, the switch is faulty, and it should be repaired or replaced.
3.2.4 Alternator
The alternator, connected to storage battery in parallel, is a supporting element for the diesel engine
and powers on the electrical devices of the complete roller. Before the road roller gets started, the
power is supplied by the battery; after starting, the power will be supplied by the alternator which
charges the storage battery meanwhile.

Fig. 3-14

3-15
Service Manual of RS8140 Road Roller

Fig. 3-15
RS8140 alternator has three leading-out connection terminals, which are:
B+: Alternator positive, connected to battery positive;
D+: Charging indicator signal;
W: Tachometer signal.

Working principle of alternatorThe alternator consists of rotor, stator, belt pulley, fan, front/rear
end cover and electric brush etc. The excitation winding is generally wound around the rotor, the
stator is connected in Y shape, and the rectifier is generally a six pipe bridge type full wave rectifier.

Fig. 3-16
1. When the DCV is applied to both ends of the excitation winding, the current will generate a
magnetic field. Driven by the alternator, the magnetic field will rotate as with the rotor. Due to
the effect of rotating magnetic field on the stator three-phase symmetrical windings, a simple
sinusoidal electromotive force with the same three-phase frequency and amplitude, and 120º
included angle will generate.
2. The unilateral conductivity of silicon diode can be applied to rectify. At any moment, only the
positive diode connected to the one-phase winding with the highest electric potential is

3-16
Service Manual of RS8140 Road Roller

electrified; similarly, only the negative diode connected to the one-phase winding with the
lowest electric potential is electrified; repeat this cycle all over again, and the six diodes will be
electrified in turn, thus a stable pulsating DC voltage can be obtained on both ends of the load.
3. The alternator terminal voltage is proportional to the alternator speed: The variation range of
engine speed is wide, therefore, the terminal voltage will vary greatly too, and the requirements
for a constant voltage on electrical device of road roller will fail to be met. As a result, a voltage
regulator should always be set.
4. The voltage regulator controls the connection and disconnection of switch tube to change the
excitation current, which directly acts on the field’s strength to stabilize the alternator voltage.
5. The filter capacitor is mainly used to filter out the spike pulse and high-frequency interference
sent out by the alternator.
Method to determine the alternator for normal generation and troubleshooting
1. Set the multimeter to 200 V DCV to do inspection.
Turn on the electric lock, measure the alternator terminal voltage (with red probe connected to
alternator D+, and black probe to ground), and record the reading of multimeter (this reading is
actually the battery terminal voltage, and generally below 26 V); start the roller, measure the
alternator terminal voltage again, and record the reading of multimeter (if the alternator works
normally, the reading should be approximately 28 V).
2. Troubleshooting
If the alternator fails to generate electricity or the generating voltage is too low: firstly, check
the alternator drive belt for looseness. Turn off the electric lock, and use a wrench to check the
alternator terminal for correct, secure and reliable connection. Moreover, check the alternator
ground for reliability at regular interval.
Common fault diagnosis to alternator and troubleshooting
1. Alternator fails to charge
The main causes include alternator fault, regulator fault or electrical circuit fault etc. Remove
the wire connection from the alternator field terminals, turn on the electric lock switch, and use
the multimeter (DC test lamp) to check the terminal. If there is electricity, the alternator may be
faulty. Do further check to the components such as alternator electric brush, slip ring, rotor and
stator or replace the alternator. If there is no electricity, check the regulator field terminal. If the
terminal is electrified, the wire connecting the regulator and the alternator can be open circuited;
if the terminal is not electrified, check the regulator live wire terminal. If the terminal is
electrified, the regulator may be faulty, and check or replace the regulator; if the terminal is not
electrified, the electric lock and the wire connecting the electric lock and the regulator can be

3-17
Service Manual of RS8140 Road Roller

open circuited etc.


2. Too low charging voltage
When the engine is working, the charging indicator lamp flashes or the ammeter swings around
the zero, the starter runs weakly and even fails to drive the engine to run. The possible cause can
be the unusual or faulty regulator operating voltage, too loose belt, alternator inside fault or
battery fault.
First of all, set the multimeter to DCV to measure the voltage at both ends of the battery or
alternator. If it is lower than the standard value, it shows the charging voltage is too low. Then,
check the fan belt for slippage due to loose tension. If too loose, readjust as required. If it is
normal, go on checking the alternator and battery for fault. Method: Disconnect the battery
ground wire when the engine runs at a moderate or above speed; if the engine runs normally, it
indicates that the alternator output power can meet the requirements of the ignition system and
the powered devices, and that the battery has faults; if the engine flames out, it indicates that
both the battery and alternator has fault.)
3. Too high charging voltage
If the alternator voltage is too high, the bulb is easy to be burned out when the engine runs, and
the water consumption in battery electrolyte can be too quick which may result from the unusual
or faulty regulator operating voltage.
Start the alternator and run it at a moderate speed, set the multimeter to DCV (25 V) with the
red probe connected to the alternator armature terminal post and the black probe to the
alternator housing, and measure the voltage on both ends of the battery or the alternator. If it is
higher than the standard value, then the charging voltage is too high. In this case, a new
electronic regulator should be replaced.

3.2.5 Starter motor


The starter motor is a supporting element for the diesel engine and is mainly used to convert the
battery’s electric energy into mechanical energy, and drive the engine through the transmission
mechanism.
The starter mainly consists of solenoid switch, DC motor, shifter fork and driving gear. The DC
motor can convert the battery’s electric energy to mechanical energy and the driving gear can drive
the engine flywheel, thus realizing the engine start.

3-18
Service Manual of RS8140 Road Roller

Fig. 3-17
When the complete roller gets started (the electric lock is turned to START), the 24 V terminal
voltage for the battery will pass through the starting relay contact to the starter motor, then the
pull-in coil and holding coil will be connected to drive the pinion gear engaging with the flywheel
gear. At this time, the current of pull-in coil passing through the excitation winding and the
armature winding will generate certain electromagnetic torque, thus, the pinion gear, during its slow
rotation, will engage with the ring gear.
After the engagement, the contact disc will trigger the two main contact terminals of motor to be
connected and the battery strong current will pass through the armature winding and excitation
winding of the starter, then normal torque will be generated to drive the crankshaft rotating, making
the engine get started.
After the engine gets started successfully, at the moment the driver releases the key of electric lock,
the current of holding coil and pull-in coil will flow in an opposite direction, therefore, the
corresponding two magnetic fields will be in opposite directions. In this case, the electromagnetic
forces acting on the core will offset each other, the core under the influence of spring force will
reset to the original position, the drive pinion will exit from disengagement, and the contact disc
will disconnect, consequently the starter motor will stop running.

3-19
Service Manual of RS8140 Road Roller

Fig. 3-18
Starter motor application and maintenance
The operator does not have to do too much maintenance to the starter motor. However, if the basic
maintenance cannot be met, the operator may encounter great trouble.
Precautions:
1. The voltage drop of starter motor positive or negative cable from any cause can degrade the
starting performance, thus resulting in hard start and even start failure. Therefore, first of all,
keep all the terminal posts in the battery circuit clean, and connect them firmly to reduce the
contact resistance; secondly, check whether the engine housing and battery negative ground are
in good conditions because most of the starter motor housing are grounded; third, the section
area of the cable and the materials in battery circuit should meet the requirements, and the cable
overall length should be as short as possible to reduce the conductor resistance.
2. The starter motor sealing elements such as dust cover and gasket should be installed properly in
case that the transmission lubricating oil and dust enters into the starter motor.
3. After the engine starts, the starter motor should stop running immediately to reduce wear and
battery electric energy consumption caused by the unnecessary running of starter motor.
Moreover, if the starter motor keeps running for too long, the temperature of the inside DC
motor winding can increase too high and make the motor get burned out, meanwhile, the battery
can subject to over-discharge, thus affecting the battery life span. In general, each start should
not exceed 5 s. If the engine cannot get started at a time, stop for 15 s and then try to start again.
If the engine fails to start for 3 successive times, find out the cause, eliminate the fault and then
restart.
4. Before the start, turn off all the electrical devices irrelevant to the starting, meanwhile, engage
the road roller to N to increase the starting ability of the starter motor and decrease the engine’s
drag torque.
5. If hard starting is caused by too low ambient temperature, warm up the engine fully before the

Common fault diagnosis to starter motor


1) Symptom: Turn on the negative switch, and the starter motor runs itself.
Cause analysis: This fault generally results from contact point burnout for starting relay, electric
lock or solenoid switch.
Troubleshooting: Grind the contact point and the moving contact disc again, or replace the
solenoid switch or the starter motor.
2) Symptom: During the start, the starter motor does not have any reaction.
Troubleshooting:
1. Check whether the transmission control lever is turned to neutral position.
RS8140 road roller has start interlock function, and it will not get started unless the
transmission neutral switch detects a signal.
2. While turning the electric lock to START, detect the conductor voltage at the magnetic switch
of starter motor. If there is no voltage, check the electric lock, starting interlock relay and
battery etc. Check the storage battery connection, negative switch and ground wire for reliable
connection. Otherwise, it can be concluded that the start failure is caused by the fault inside the
starter motor.
Starter fails to work
If the starter cannot work after it is powered on, the starting relay and starting switch may be turned
off, or the connecting wire is open-circuited; if the starter still cannot work after the
above-mentioned fault is eliminated, then the starter motor may have internal faults. In this case, the
possible cause can be the fault in the solenoid coil of the starter solenoid switch, the motor switch
ablation, poor contact, and motor electric brush, inverter, armature and magnetic field open circuit.
Starter underpower
The starter can drive the engine crankshaft to rotate, however, the running speed is too low and the
engine cannot start smoothly, indicating the decrease of loading capacity and the actual output
power. The possible causes can be battery feeding, looseness of battery connection terminal, poor
contact caused by oxidation corrosion, motor switch ablation, inverter ablation, too much wear of
electric brush or lack of spring, and local short circuit in motor armature and field winding; and too
large starting drag torque caused by too tight engine assembly or too low ambient temperature.
Starter cannot stop
If the starter cannot stop working after the power starting switch is released, the possible cause can
be the power starting switch fault, starting relay fault or motor switch bonding.
Starter idling
If the starter runs but the engine crankshaft cannot rotate, the possible causes can be the one-way

3-21
Service Manual of RS8140 Road Roller

clutch slippage, fork mechanism malfunction or seizure, insufficient push-out by driving gear, too
much gear teeth collision or wear, and fork shaft loss etc. The fault can be eliminated as long as the
clutch is replaced.
Too large starting noise
If rhythmic crash is produced during the start, the possible causes can be the open circuit in
solenoid switch holding coil, starting relay damage, battery electricity shortage or poor pole contact
etc.; if the friction or whistling is constant, the possible causes can be motor sweep chamber caused
by bearing wear, armature shaft bend and rotor out-of-round, or inverter ablation and electric brush
poor contact etc.
3.2.6 Flameout solenoid valve
The flameout solenoid valve is of electricity and fuel cut-off type - the fuel circuit will be opened
when the valve is electrified and closed when the valve is de-energized.
The flameout solenoid valve controls the on/off of the engine fuel circuit, therefore, if the valve
cannot work properly, the engine will fail to get started or will flame out automatically after
starting.
The flameout solenoid valve should be installed ensuring the pull rod coaxiality and stroke strictly.
While replacing the flameout solenoid valve, its installation requirements should be strictly
observed.
Method to determine flameout solenoid valve for normal working:
Turn on the electric lock, and the valve pull rod will not move; at the moment the starting switch is
turned to START, the pull rod should move forward quickly to open the fuel circuit; after the stating
switch returns to ON automatically due to the key release, the pull rod should stop action (i.e. the
fuel circuit kept opened); turn off the starting switch, and the flameout solenoid valve pull rod will
return to its original position. Otherwise, it can be concluded that the flameout solenoid valve
cannot work properly. For the specific fault determination, see the diagram below:

3.3 Instrument Monitoring System


Instrument electronic control unit (I-ECU)
I-ECU receives the signals from the sensors and other control units, and exhibits the road roller
running state in an intuitive way via LED, instrument and indicator lamp etc. I-ECU only receives
the signals and exhibits the signal content intuitively, rather than sending out the signal or
controlling other units.
Self-check process: After the power is turned on, the instrument pointer will point to the maximum
value, next return to zero, and finally to the correct position. Meanwhile, all the indicator lamps will
be on for 1.5 s and then turn to normal working condition. After the instrument is powered off, the
pointer will return to zero automatically.
Description of working timer: The software version No. will be displayed once the power is turned
on, and the accumulated working hour will be displayed after the powered-on timer works normally.
When the engine gets started, the hourglass begins to work. The number displayed will be updated
every 6 min, and the chronometric data will be stored every minute.

Service Manual of RS8140 Road Roller

Temperature sensor
RS8140 are equipped with temperature sensors to monitor the engine water temperature. The
temperature sensor is a thermistor whose resistance will decrease if the temperature rises (26-226
ohm at room temperature; 26.4 ohm at 115 °C).
Overhaul when thermometer indication is abnormal:
Remove the sensing line (engine water temperature corresponds to #14 conductor) from the
temperature sensor. If the instrument displays full range when the sensing line is grounded, or it
displays the min. reading when the sensing line is suspended, then it shows that the instrument and
wires are in good conditions but the sensor is damaged. Replace the sensor. Otherwise, check the
wires. If the wires are in good conditions, the instrument may be faulty.
Pressure switch (engine oil pressure)
The pressure switch is a simple pressure control device. When the tested pressure reaches the rated
value, the pressure switch can trigger the alarm or send out control signal.
Working principle: When the tested pressure exceeds the rated value, displacement will occur to the
free end of the flexible components. Push the switch directly or after the comparison to change the
on-off state of the switch so as to control the tested pressure.
Fuel level sensor
The fuel level sensor is actually a discrete slide resistance. As with the increase of fuel level, the
resistance will decrease. The sensor is installed to the fuel tank.
Troubleshoot abnormal indication by fuel level sensor
Remove the sensing line (#19 conductor) from the fuel level sensor. If the instrument displays full
range when the sensing line is grounded, or it displays the min. reading when the sensing line is
suspended, then, it shows that the instrument and wires are in good conditions but the sensor is
damaged. Replace the sensor. Otherwise, check the wires. If the wires are in good conditions, the
instrument itself may be faulty.
Low pressure alarm switch
The complete road roller is equipped with two pressure switches (i.e. low brake pressure alarm
switch and low oil pressure alarm switch); when the brake pressure is lower than 0.4 MPa and the
engine oil pressure is lower than 0.08 MPa, the alarm indicator lamps will both alarm.

3.4 Lighting System


Turn on the electric lock, the 10 A headlamp fuse in the 20-way fuse box will be electrified (24 V),
and the current will flow to the packet type switch via #47 conductor and meanwhile to the contact
points of rear headlamp and front headlamp relays via #47 and #39 conductors. When the packet
type switch is turned off, #75 and #74 conductors will not be electrified, and front and rear
headlamps will not work; when the switch is turned to front or rear headlamp, #74 or #75
conductors will be electrified (24 V), and the coils of front and rear headlamp relays will also be
electrified; close the contact point, the filaments of front and rear headlamps will be electrified (24
V) and they will work in corresponding positions at the same time.

Fig. 3-22
Common troubleshooting to front and rear headlamps
1. Check the bulb for blackening. If it turns black, the bulb can be damaged, and it should be
replaced.
2. Remove the connector, set the dimmer switch respectively to front headlamp and rear
headlamp positions, and use the multimeter DCV to detect the voltages of #74 and #75
conductors at the connector. If the voltage is 24 V, check the connector for reliable connection.
In case of loose connection, connect them again. Otherwise, the internal wiring of front and
rear headlamps may get loosened or the bulb may be damaged. If the voltage is 0 V, check as

3-28

3.5 Reversing Warning System


Turn on the electric lock, and 10 A reversing warning fuse (#40 conductor) will be electrified (24 V).
Engage to a reverse gear, the reverse switch will be turned on, #9 conductor will be electrified, and
the reverse alarm will buzz.

Fig. 3-23

3-30
Service Manual of RS8140 Road Roller

Common fault analysis


Turn on the electric lock and engage to REVERSE, if the reverse alarm does not buzz:
1. Check the 10 A reverse alarm fuse for blowout.
2. Check the connector and conductor for firm and reliable connection. #9 conductor open circuit
in the middle generally results from connector looseness or wire harness wear.
3. Check the reverse switch for damage. If it is in good condition, engage the switch to
REVERSE, and the two corresponding conductors will be connected.
4. If the above-mentioned problems do not occur, please check the voltage of #9 conductor at the
reverse alarm. If the voltage is normal (24 V), the alarm can be damaged and it should be
replaced; if there is no voltage, the connector may get loosened or wire harness may be worn in
general.
Turn on the electric lock, the reverse alarm keeps buzzing regardless of the gears; such events
generally result from the adhesion of reverse switch contact, and they are, in rare occasions, caused
by #9 conductor and certain power wire short circuit.

3.9 Fault Inspection and Diagnosis


3.9.1 Basic method to fault inspection and diagnosis
Circuit analysis
The circuit analysis method is studying the circuits of various parts from part to whole gradually. To
study a certain circuit, you should get familiar with its working principle, analyze and take grasp of
the circuit depending on its nature of work and applying the relevant connecting principles.
For the specific method: you can search from the power to electrical devices along the flow
direction of operating current or from the electrical devices to power against the flow direction of
operating current. It is more convenient to search the unfamiliar circuits in the latter one.
The electrical diagram can be read and understood with the principle of breaking up the whole into
parts and the principle of closed circuit. It is helpful to circuit troubleshooting if the conductor can
be easily found out from two connected devices.
The electrical circuit diagram features the following:
1. The electrical devices for the road roller apply the single-wire system. While analyzing the
circuit principle, search from the electrical device, along the circuit, through the circuit switch,
protector etc. and to the power positive. To form a loop, the electrical devices have to be
grounded, therefore, the faults caused by poor electrical element ground should not be ignored
while searching for the fault.
2. There are two power supplies on the backhoe loader. In other words, the alternator and the
battery are connected in parallel with circuit protector set in between.
3. The electrical devices are connected in parallel and controlled by relevant switches via
controlling the power wire and the ground wire.
4. The circuit protectors are installed in all electrical circuits to avoid circuit damage or electrical
device damage caused by short circuit or ground.
Check the electrical circuit condition
When doing technical maintenance to the road roller or the driver finds out any fault, check the
appearance of the entire roller electrical circuit, mainly including:
1. Fixing: All electrical components and wires should be fixed reliably, and the housing and
components should be in good conditions.
2. Connection and cleaning: The connectors should be connected firmly, the ground point should
be firm, the contact point should be free from rust, oil stain and ablation, and the wire surface
should be free from oil stain, dirt and dust.
3. Insulation and shielding: The wire insulating layer should be free from damage and aging, the
exposed area should be covered by adhesive tape, and the wire shielding layer should be free

3-44
Service Manual of RS8140 Road Roller

from breakage and scratch.


4. Fuse and relay: The fuses and relays should be installed firmly, the wire connection should
contact well, and the selected fuses and relays should be complete and meet the rated values of
the circuit.
5. Switch operating condition: The switches and buttons should move smoothly without any
stagnation or failure.
Instrument monitoringUse the instrument or special detector to check the electrical circuits
accurately to determine the faulty part and eliminate it. While the electrical elements are applied in
the circuit, it is not allowed to apply clashing method to check the circuit. But the voltmeter and the
DC lamp can be used.
1. Test voltage
The technical conditions for the starting and power system can be determined via measuring
the voltage of the relevant parts. As one of the daily maintenance items for road roller, it is of
great importance to the correct application of electrical system and the timely troubleshooting
etc.
To measure the battery voltage, keep the headlamp on for about 30 s, remove the floating
electricity from the battery surface, and then turn off the headlamp.
Measure the voltage between the battery positive and negative, and it should be higher than
12.5 V.
Measure the starting voltage to determine the battery, starter and connecting wire state. Turn
the electric lock to START to run the engine, and the voltage on both ends of the battery should
be higher than 9.5 V within 15 s. If it is lower than this value, the connector of the battery cable
may be corroded or connected poorly; or the battery may be over discharged or faulty; or the
starter motor may have fault.
2. Measure circuit voltage drop
The voltage drop test method can be used to test the conductors, battery cables and connectors.
The circuit resistance can be measured by ohmmeter, however, the low voltage and the current
cannot indicate actual condition. Therefore, it is more reasonable to determine the conductor
and the contact point state by measuring the voltage drop when the normal current is through.
Select a voltmeter with range of 0 - 3 V and precision more than 1.0 grade, and shift the circuit
to working state. In general, the circuit voltage drop is 0.1 V, and that of the starting circuit
should be no higher than 1 V.
3. Test battery electricity leakage
The battery electricity leakage test can determine faults such as ground and insulation damage.

3-45
Service Manual of RS8140 Road Roller

Turn off all switches to electrical equipment and measure the current between the battery
negative and the ground, which, in general, should not exceed 30 mA. The current of the road
roller with ECS should be no more than 300 mA. Otherwise, the battery leaks electricity. The
possible causes can be electricity leakage from circuit switch/conductor or poor insulation; or
short circuit in the alternator diode or too large leakage current; or faulty regulator or ECU; or
faulty switch.
4. Check open circuit and short circuit
Check open circuit: Use the test lamp or special tool to check for open circuit, connect the test
lamp or special tool between the circuit connector and the ground. Turn on the corresponding
switch, if the lamp is not on, there is open circuit.
Check short circuit: When a short circuit occurs, the fuse (fuse wire) can be burned out. The
causes should be found out before the replacement of the fuse. The commonly used methods
are as follow:
Method A: Ohmmeter: Connect one probe to ground point and the other to the fuse connection,
and the short circuit occurs if the resistance is zero or low. Disconnect the electrical devices
controlled by the fuse one by one, if the resistance increases, short circuit occurs in the devices.
Method B: Buzzer: When short circuit occurs, the buzzer will sound. Disconnect the controlled
electrical devices one by one, if the buzzer does not sound, then short circuit occurs in the
device. (Road roller electrical devices are connected in parallel)
C Check with circuit interrupter and fluxmeter (gaussmeter): Connect the circuit interrupter to
both ends of the fuse, and hold the gaussmeter to test the pulse magnetic field near the
conductors along the circuit. The place where the pointer does not move is the short circuit
point.
