DEFINITION OF SYMBOLS
1. Working line: Any line used to carry working fluid. This includes suction
lines, pressure lines, and cylinder or motor connections and return lines.
2. Pilot line: Pressure used internally or externally to control valve operation.

The dashed line is used to differentiate pilot lines from others on a
schematic.
3. Drain line: Drain lines are always connected to the reservoir and are
used for pump or motor case lines as well as a case drain connection for
certain types of valves. Drain line pressure should typically be less than
5 PSI and be subjected to minimal spiking of the pressure.
4. Enclosure lines: This line will be used on a schematic around more than
one component symbol. This indicates that all of the items enclosed on
the schematic are located in a single component on the machine.
5. Relief valve: Relief valves are used to limit maximum pressure to protect
a circuit. They may be pilot circuit relief valves or full flow system relief
valves. Relief valves may be direct acting (spring over a poppet or
spool) or pilot operated style (2-stage type). Pilot operated relief valves
are more stable with high flows or where flows may vary greatly. The
down stream side of any relief valve must be connected to low pressure
or to the reservoir.
6. Pressure reducing valve: A valve that limits pressure at its outlet

regardless of the inlet pressure. Frequently used to reduce system
pressure to a lower PSI to perform a specific function.
7. Flow control valve, pressure and temperature compensated, restrictive

type. A valve that is used to control the fluid flow through a circuit. The
pressure and temperature compensated designation mean that the
regulated flow rate passed by the valve will remain constant regardless
of system pressure and fluid temperature. A restrictive type valve is
used with a variable pump system because the pump can match its
output to the flow requirements determined by the flow control valve.
1 -.13.-.15
8. Orifice or restriction: An orifice is a restriction used for controlling flow

(speed). It can be of fixed size or variable (such as a needle valve).
They are the simplest forms of flow control device.
9. Shuttle valve: A valve used to allow the highest of two pressure sources
to used downstream to perform a function. An example could be a
hydraulic released traction brake system. The pressure developed on the
pressure side of the circuit is used to release the brake via the shuttle
valve.
10. Check valve: A valve that allows free flow in one direction but blocks flow
in the other. They can be equipped with a spring-loaded poppet, which
increases the cracking (opening) pressure of the valve. Some check
valves are pilot operated that means they can be opened with pilot
pressure to allow reverse flow.
11. Pumps and motors: the flow arrow pointing outward identifies Pumps.
An arrow drawn through the circle at an angle indicates the pump or
motor is variable. If the flow arrow points inward the component is a
motor.
12. Filters: A diamond shape indicates a fluid conditioning device, the dotted
line through the diamond identifies the device as a filter. The bypass is
shown as either a spring loaded check valve or a relief valve around the
filter. Not all filters are equipped with a bypass.
13. Cooler or heat exchanger: The diamond shape with arrows pointing
outward indicates a cooler or heat exchanger. The symbol can represent
a cooler that uses either air or water as the cooling medium.
14. Dual pilot operated check valve: Used as a load holding device normally
with a hydraulic cylinder. Utilizes two pilot operated check valves in the
same valve housing. Pilot pressure from the inlet side of the valve is
used to open the outlet check valve.
1 -.14.-.15
15. Counterbalance valve: Also a load holding device but a more

sophisticated valve than a pilot operated check valve. Commonly used in
a dual configuration so pressure at the inlet of the valve opens the outlet.
When lowering a load using a dual counterbalance valve the load cannot
free fall. If load attempts to lower faster than the supply of incoming fluid
the pressure at the inlet of the valve will drop and the outlet of the valve
will begin to close. his creates hydraulic backpressure and slows the
descent of the load. ounterbalance valves also can function as a relief
valve. If the load is great enough, the valve will open and relieve the
excessive pressure.

Training Manual: ECM 585 SECTION 2 – Hydraulic system
Hydraulic System
The hydraulic circuit on the ECM 585II is an open loop, open center, and power beyond
system. Five (5) separate pumps supply all of the hydraulic functions of the ECM 585. All
of these pumps are positive displacement gear pumps. As with all positive displacement
gear pumps, fluid is supplied to the circuits whenever the machine is
operating. The volume of fluid flow will vary with engine RPM. The higher the RPM, the
higher the flow. In this type of circuit, the valves are open center. This means that if a
particular valve is in the neutral position, fluid supplied to it by the pump is directed to the
next valve in that circuit. If both valves are in the neutral position, the fluid is
returned to the hydraulic reservoir. If the first valve is shifted to supply a function, fluid is
diverted to the function. Normally at this time there is no fluid available to supply the
second function. Two of more open center valves comprise a power beyond circuit.
Three of the pumps are driven directly from the vibration dampener at the front of the
engine crankshaft. The other two pumps are driven by the engine power takeoff.
The pumps are numbered 1,2, and 3 from the crankshaft pulley on the engine, and 4, and
5, from the power takeoff.
They supply the circuits as follows:
Pump 1 ( 70 L/min )
This pump supply hydraulic fluid to the Left hand Tram circuit , Super Rotation circuit ,
Fast feed and Percussion circuit.
Pump 2 ( 70 L/min )
This pump supply hydraulic fluid to the Right hand Tram circuit , Slow Feed and
Percussion circuit.
Pump 3 ( 60 L/min )
This pump supply hydraulic fluid to the drifter Rotation Circuit.
Pump 4 ( 80 L/min )
This pump supply hydraulic fluid to both the Cooler motor for the Cooling Circuit and the
Pilot oil Circuit.
Pump 5 ( 30 L/min )
This pump supply hydraulic fluid to the Hood slide, Centralizer , Dust collector , ARC and
the Boom Functions.i

Training Manual: ECM 585 SECTION 3 – Drill Pilot Circuit
Drill Pilot Circuits
The drill control circuits incorporate pilot operated valves for function control. Along
with these pilot controls there are a number of solenoid valves. Pilot pressure is
supplied by the # 4 hydraulic pump. This pump also supplies hydraulic fluid to both the
cooler fan motor circuit. Pilot pressure is reduced to 30 kg/cm2 (425 PSI) and directed
to the Drill / Tram selector valve. This selector valve is a solenoid valve that direct pilot
pressure to either for the drill function or the tram function.
In Drill mode, pilot oil is directed to 4 bank solenoid valve ( 82 ) and to both the Drill
( 123 ) and Feed ( 124 ) control lever.
The cab controls for drilling consist of a 4-axis pilot controller for percussion and
rotation functions and a 4-axis pilot controller for feed and threading functions. Both of
these controllers have push button electric switches.
In Tram mode, pilot pressure is directed to the one lever Tram control valve ( 122 ).
3 - 1 - 26
3 - 2 - 26
Drilling function is control by the Left and Right control lever in the cab. Both control
lever is a 4 axis pilot control. We will explain the pilot oil flow when these control is
activated differently.
The Left control lever is for feed function. It is also know as the
Feed control lever. Pushing and pulling of this control lever allow
Feed to move forward and backward – Detent. Moving the lever to
the Right and Left is for threading in ARC mode – Spring centered
joystick.
The Right control lever is for drilling function. It is also know as the
drill control lever. This is a four position lever. Pushing forward allow
“impact” with forward forward rotation. Pulling the control lever allow
forward rotation without impact. Moving control lever to the left is for
rattling function. Moving the control lever to the right allow for super
rotation function.
For better understanding of the Left and Right control lever , please refer to the
instruction manual.
Before we start explaining the pilot oil flow for both Left and Right control lever. Pilot oil
at 30 Bar is allow to flow through the Drill / Tram selector valve only when selected to
Drill mode. This pilot oil is then ready at both the Left and Right control lever for
different function.

Normal drilling
In normal drilling , select to Drill mode and both Left and Right control lever is being Push forward.
Pilot oil at 30 Bar in Green for the Feed function is now allow to flow through the Left control valve to
the shuttle valve (FD) and exit at port S1C to the Slow Feed Spool valve. At the same time , this oil is
also directed to the Fast Feed Down Trigger switch solenoid valve. In normal drilling we do not
depress this switch.
Pilot oil at 30 Bar in Yellow for the Drill function is now allow to flow through the Right control valve
to the shuttle valve block. Before entering to the shuttle valve block , this oil is also directed to the
Rotation Speed control ( line C15 ) and to the PAJ On / Off selector switch valve. We will discuss the
oil flow of the PAJ On / Off switch valve later.
Let concentrate on the pilot oil into the shuttle valve block now.
One pilot oil is flow into the shuttle valve block at S6A port and exit at S7C port. This oil will be
directed to the upper port of the Percussion Spool valve and to the Drill hourmeter.
The second pilot oil will flow through the Rotation Speed Control valve and enter the shuttle valve
block at S9B port. This Rotation Speed Control Valve is a flow regulator. This oil will exit at the S8C
port to the upper port of the Rotation Spool valve.

Explain Rattling Mode
Rattling is achieved when the Right Control lever is moved to the Left.
Pilot oil at 30 bar will flow through Right control valve ( C8 line ) and enter at S56B port of the shuttle
valve. This oil will exit the shuttle valve block at two different port S7C and S5C. Oil exit from S7C
port will be directed to the upper port of the Percussion spool valve. Oil exit from the S5C port will be
directed to the V3 Cut Pilot Control valve.

Hole Cleaning pilot oil flow.
3 - 10 - 26
Explain Hole Cleaning.
Hole cleaning meaning after drilling a drill rod , operator wants to clean the hole to ensure a more
straight hole is achieve. Therefore he will move the complete drill string , up and down in fast feed
without hammering.
BLANK FIRING WHILE HOLE CLEANING CAN LEADS TO VERY SHORT DRILL
ACCESSORIES LIFE.
Pilot oil at 30 Bar flow through the Right control valve ( C10 ) and enter the shuttle valve block at S1A.
This oil will exit at S8C port of the shuttle valve to the upper port of the Rotation Spool valve. This
result in Forward Rotation without Percussion.

Explain Coupling.
Coupling means connecting / threading drill rod. Operator after drilling the first drill rod and need to
drill a deeper hole will need to get another drill rod from the carousal. To bring the drill rod out from
the carousal is by ARC ( auto rod changer ), this will be discuss later. Now we only explain the pilot
oil flow for connecting the drill rod.
To couple the drill rod , move Drill Control lever to the right. By doing so , the drifter will move
forward ( Down ) with forward Rotation ( CCW ) only.
Pilot oil at 30 bar will flow through the Left control valve ( C9 ) and enter the shuttle valve block at
S12B port. This oil will exit the valve block through two different port S1C and S8C port. Oil exit
from the S8C port will be directed to the upper port of the Rotation Spool valve and oil exit from S1C
port will be directed to the upper port of the Slow Feed Spool valve.

3 - 14 - 26
Explain Uncoupling.
Uncoupling means removing / unthreading drill rod. After rattle loose the drill rod , the operator will
need to disconnect the drill rod before bringing back to the carousal.
To uncouple the drill rod , move Drill Control lever to the left. By doing so the drifter will move
backward ( Up) with Reverse Rotation ( CW ).
Pilot oil at 30 bar will flow through the Left Control valve ( C12 ) and enter the shuttle valve block at
S34B port. This oil will exit the shuttle valve block through 2 different port S4C and S3C port. Oil
from S4C port will be directed to the bottom port of the Slow Feed Spool Valve and to the Fast Feed
Up solenoid valve. During Uncoupling , we do not depress the fast feed trigger switch. This will result
in slow feed reverse ( up ).
Oil exit from S3C port will be directed to the bottom port of the Rotation Spool Valve. This will result
in Reverse rotation ( CW ) for uncoupling / unthreading.

motor. Feed Motor will now provide forward rotation ( feed down ). Return oil from the feed
motor will enter the PAJ block at port A2V port and flow through the feed speed sensing
valve and through the V4 valve and exit at port A2C port of the PAJ block. This way we have
completed the slow feed circuit.
With the Right Control lever push forward, pilot oil at 30 Bar is directed to both the upper port

V2 and V3 valve
Before we start to explain the PAJ system , we need to understand how the V2 and V3 funtion.
V3 is comparing pilot pressure from A1 ( feed motor inlet ) with A2 ( feed motor outlet ).
During normal drilling situation, A2 + spring force is less than A1.
If back pressure from A2 increase.
A2 + spring force will be higher than A1. During this time, V3 will open and allow pilot oil to flow
through to V2.
Will this additional pilot oil , V2 will shift it’s spool and result in lowing the percussion pressure
progressively.
Percussion pressure will continue to drop from Max. progressively until it reach a point where the Min
percussion pressure is set. This Min Percussion pressure is preset in factory at 60 bar.
Drifter High pressure relief valve is set at 175 bar by the factory. If resetting is needed plug the drifter
inlet line to set.
Note: There is also a Min percussion pressure valve located inside the HC 109 drifter set at 75
bar.
The following page shows the photo of the component for the PAJ system.

When the valve is shift , it allow pilot oil from the rotation motor to send signal to the
bottom of V4 valve.
V4 is also know as pressure regulator. As you can see from the schematic above there is
two pilot oil signal to the top of V4 together with a spring force.Pilot line blue in colour
and pilot line pink in colour.
On the bottom there is only one oil signal , green in colour after flowing through an orific.
If you look into the next page, it show that pilot pressure in green have a bigger surface
area than pilot pressure in blue.Because of this bigger surface area , if the rotation motor
built up due to ground condition.
Feed motor will slow down and stop.
V5 is adjusted at job site when drilling the last rod in auto mode.
First loosen V5 completely until you feel the spring in contact. Then slowly tighten V5
screw , at this time check the speed of the feed ( drifter coming down ). When the speed
of the feed start to slow down. Tighten one turn – now V5 is set.

V3 Percussion regulator : V3 compare A1 with A2 + spring force.
Normally A1 is higher pressure than ( A2+spring force ) pressure. V3 is in close position.
As a result, drilling at max percussion pressure – V2 spool shows in above red box.
V4 – Anti Jam system :
Normally ( pilot pressure in light blue + pilot pressure in blue + spring force ) is higher than ( pilot

There is forward direction , drifter coming down.
Bit Air safety system:

How Bit Air Safety works

When the bit is plugged, the back pressure will shift the pan cake valve to open position.
When V6 open , the pilot oil ( Blue ) will be drain to tank.
Therefore at this point of time , the V4 will start to shift. Pilot oil ( Red ) is higher pressure now. Feed
motor will slow down and stop and finally reverse feed , drifter travel upward.
Once the bit is unplugged from the percussion with upward feed , V6 is then close again.
Drifter now recover from drilling again.
Possible cause :
1.Is the diaphragm broken in the pan cake valve – V 6. Check the diaphragm.
2.The spring in the Bit air valve broken. This is a very soft spring ( about 0.4 bar ).
We will show the Pan cake valve and Air check valve as below:

Diaphragm Valve Function
• The air is coming in the chamber (1) from
the inlet of the air check valve (sensor).
The air is coming in the chamber (2) from
the outlet of the air check valve.
• When the air pass normally in the air 03
sensor the pressure in chamber (1) is
higher than in chamber (2), the pin-valve is
closed
• When the bit begin to plug the pressure
increases in the outlet of the air check
valve so as to open this needle valve when
the pressure reach is maximum in the
chamber (2)
• When the pin (3) is open the pressure
(from percussion line) which pilot the V4’s
anti jamming spool decrease, the anti
jamming spool is reversed and the drifter
goes backward.

During rotation the pressure is applied on the opposite sides of the spool. Sensibility of
the anti jamming system is adjusted with the pressure regulator or the screw.
In heterogeneous ground, you must adjust the system to go through the muddy ground
or faults slowly. You have to limit the rotation torque. When you adjust it, you make a
choice: Either to limit drilling speed and decrease jamming possibilities or to increase

drilling speed and take the risk of being stuck.

During flushing Air P1 is superior to Air P2 if the bit is plugged P2 will increase
to the same value as P1.The valve position, actuated by the two pressures, will
change.The pressure which holds the control spool for drifter forward direction is
dumped to the tank. The spool position changes and the drifter direction reverses.
In the same way, if the compressor stops the drifter movement reverses.

the feed motor,
• The maximum possible speed of this motor is reduced
compared to the speed without drilling.
• The line (1) of the cylinder is going to the inlet (1) of the B

is for example 5 L/min. you could adjust the flow of the
sensor to 6 L/min. the motor return pressure does not
increase.
• B: In case of cavity
• When there is a cavity there is nothing to drill, the feed
motor admits more flow, this speed increases as same as
the outflow of the motor. But if the flow is more than 6
L/min (pre-setting).
the pressure will increases higher than in case A,and this
pressure will be used to pilot for the percussion pressure
regulation system (V3 valve).

FEED PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT ON FEED FORWARD MOVEMENT

1) Final setting is made at full percussion power while drilling in the hardest, most homogeneous rock possible.
1)Start drilling in homogeneous rock with the joystick drifter in PAJ “OFF” position and joystick feed in drilling position
2) Check coupling shaking.

Decrease the thrust pressure as far as the coupling shakes for 1 or two centimetres
Then increase the thrust pressure by feed pressure adjuster in cab so as to have a coupling shaking less than 5 mm
3) Check coupling temperature.

Temperature has to be less than 120 ° C (with air flushing).
If temperature is above this limit, although coupling shaking is correct, reduce operating percussion pressure.
After each new setting, check coupling vibration, coupling temperature
4) Switch the drifter control to PAJ “On” position. The pressures have to stay at the same values

ANTI-JAM M ING ADJU STM ENT
01 : pressure reducer (V4)

01 Screw in : anti jam m ing looses sensibility
Screw out : anti jam m ing gets m ore sensibility.
The jam m ing signal is given by the rotation pressure which drives the bit.
If the bit is stuck in a fault, the rotation pressure increases so as well as torque.
W hen the rotation pressure is too high, the anti jam m ing system detects it and stops the forward
m ovem ent of the drifter
You have to pre-set this inversion point

If you screw in the pressure reducer, you pre-set the system for m ore torque
If you screw out the pressure reducer, you pre-set the system for less torque
In heterogeneous ground, you have to adjust the system so as to react in m uddy ground or faults only.
E.g.: W hen you are drilling the last rod, you can stop the drifter if you screw out.
At this po int, screw in tw o turn the anti jam m ing pressure, and you have got a very safe adjustm ent.

Automatic shifting from high speed to low speed operation
During high-speed operation, the tram pressure increases as the load increases. When the pressure at
“C” port reaches the set pressure that is 1880 PSI (130 Bar) it overcomes the pilot pressure at port “P”
shifting the spool against pilot pressure. This connects Chamber (a) to the motor case, which is
connected to tank. Load pressure in the motor pistons moves the swashplate to the low speed/high
torque position. The tractive effort of the unit is increased and it is then able to negotiate steeper
terrain.
In contrast, when the load pressure at port “C” decreases below the set pressure, the valve is shifted
(downward in the drawing) by pilot pressure. This action reconnects the load pressure to chamber “a”.
The piston in the motor shifts and the swashplate is once again moved into the low torque/high speed
position. See the drawing on the following page.

Training Manual: ECM 585 SECTION 7 – Air Circuit
Compressor Oil System
ECM 585 is mounted with a Ingersoll Rand Screw Type compressor. The actual free air delivery is
270cfm or 7.6 meter cube per min. Max . air pressure is 138 psi or 9.7 bar.
The compressor oil circuit serves two main purpose, to cool the compressor oil and filter it. In a
rotary screw compressor, oil is injected into the rotary group , which lubricates the internal parts and
help to seal the clearances between the rotor ( both male and female ) and also between the rotor and
the compressor housing. When the rotor rotate , a mixture of air and oil is delivered to the air / oil
separator tank. As the rotors are compressing the incoming air , heat is generated. The compressor
oil carries this heat to the cooler. The cooler circuit is equipped with a thermostatic valve. At the
being , when the oil is cool , the thermostatic valve is in close position and compressor oil is directed
to the filter and back to the rotor bypassing the cooler. As the oil warm up, the thermostatic valve
will open and oil is now directed to the cooler. This thermostatic valve will start to open at 125 F /
52 C and fully open at 145 F / 63 C.
Oil flow is constantly modulated by the thermostatic valve to regulate the compressor temperature.
This valve is equipped with a bypass check valve which protect the cooler from over pressure.
Note : It is extreme important that the filter to be changed at the proper interval and the
correct compressor oil is used.
The compressor system is protected by a safety

Shut down for the compressor oil temperature switch.
If the compressor discharge oil temp reaches 248F
Engine will shut down. We will discuss more in the
Electrical system.

Air Compressor system

The compressor used onboard the ECM 585 is a single stage compressor. The unloader is
mounted on top of the compressor , this is a normally close inlet unloader. This unloader is a
piston type equipped with a rubber diaphragm and spring. The spring will keep the valve close
when engine is stopped.
When the engine started , the rotor of the compressor will start to rotate. The rotating rotor will
create a partial vacuum beneath the inlet valve. The start run valve is now in open position,
allows any air from receiver tank to go directly to the diaphragm of the unloader. Small
amount of air will release from the regulation orific when unloader is in close position.
After the unit has warm up , when the operator select to drill mode the start/ run solenoid will
energized. This close the air path through the start / run valve. Any remaining air between the
start / run valve , unloader will be bled through the regulation orifice. Spring Pressure
overcomes the air pressure in the diaphragm of the unloader. This permits the unloader to open
and allow air to pass into the air end.
7 - 3 - 15
When the receiver tank had built up sufficient pressure , it will overcome the spring pressure
in the pressure regulator. This air pressure will then act to close the unloader and unload the
compressor. The air pressure from the regulator will open the Anti rumble valve , thereby
allow small amount of air from the receiver tank to enter the air end.
When the operator turn on the air supply , a demand of air from the receiver tank. The air
pressure in the tank will drop to a point which allows the regulator to close. This shut off the
air path to the unloader and anti rumble valve. Air pressure is now bleeds through the orifice ,
this allows the unloader to open again and close the anti rumble valve.
7 - 4 - 15
Pressure Regulator Valve

The Pressure Regulator Valve controls the system pressure. This valve is normally closed
diaphragm type valve. It is open by air pressure acting on the underside of the diaphragm and
against spring force. The spring force is pre-set by means of an adjusting screw.

Scavenging system
Remember that the compressor discharge is a mixture of air and compressor oil. The separator
element in the air receiver tank separate the oil from the air . A small amount of oil will passes
through the separator element and tends to collect inside the element. This oil must be removed
to prevent oil flowing to the air discharge.
A scavenging tube is installed from the top of the receiver tank to 1/8” of the bottom of the
element. There is a orifice , small strainer and a check valve in the scavenging line. This line will
suck the compressor oil collected at the bottom of the element and directed to the air end.
7 - 9 - 15
Air Blow system

The blow air is controlled from the operator cab by a selector joystick on the right hand side
panel. This controller allows the operator to use Low or High air blow with dust collector , or
High air without dust collector. The air blow valve is solenoid operated. In the High / Full
blow position , the valve is fully open. In the Low blow position , air volume is reduced by a
flow controller. When Low Blow is selected , only the low blow solenoid is energized .
When the High Blow is selected , both the solenoid is energized.
When blow air is turn On , engine will go to high speed 2300 rpm.

Drifter Lubrication system

As a product improvement, we have connected the air supply directly from the receiver tank to
the lubricator inlet port. With this modification we are able to warm the Rock Drill oil more
quickly and ensure that the drifter is lubricated at all time after the engine started. It is extreme
important that the drifter is well lubricate with the correct oil. There is a small adjustment screw
located on top of the lubricator.
Lubricator should be set at 6 drop per min, or one drop every 10 seconds. Air pressure to the
lubricator can be adjusted by turning the knob 4 as show in below picture. This pressure should
be set at 35 psi.

Grease for drill rod

Greasing for the drill rod is turn on by depressing a switch button on the Left hand control lever.
When this happen, the grease solenoid ( 48 ) will energized and allow air to flow through. This
air is send to operate the grease pump ( 71 ) at the same time to a pilot valve ( 72 ) and to the
bush cylinder ( 73.1) to extend.

Training Manual: ECM 585 SECTION 8 – Cooling and Return Circuit
Cooling Circuit.
The cooler package on the ECM 585 consists of two separate cooler units. One is the
engine radiator and the other is the Hydraulic oil cooler and Compressor oil cooler.
Each cooler is cool by a hydraulic powered fan, driven at a speed of 1600 rpm at 150
bar when not drilling.
Oil from No. 4 pump is directed to the flow divider ( 73 ) . This oil is now divided
equally to the cooler fan motor ( 71.1) for the HOC and COC and ( 71.2 ) for the engine
radiator. The outlet from the fan motor is directed to the return manifold. Between the
return manifold and the inlet of the divider valve, a check valve ( 72 ) is installed. This
check valve allows the fan speed to slow down when engine is stopped.
Both Cooler fan motor inlet and outlet are equipped with quick connection. Photo below
shows one of the connection is painted in red , this is the supply line. Direction of the
fan rotation can easily change by swapping the two hoses. You can change the suction
fan to exhaust fan type spending on the ambient temperature.
Quick coupling connection.

Training Manual: ECM 585 SECTION 9 – Dust Collector Circuit
Dust Collector Circuit

The dust collector suction fan on board the ECM 585 is driven by a hydraulic motor.
Compressor air is used to keep the filter clean. A fixed displacement gear pump supply
hydraulic fluid. Pump No. 5 is mounted on the PTO of the engine. This pump ( 12 )
supply 30 L/min of oil to the 3 bank open center directional solenoid valve ( 31 ). The
third section of this valve is used to supply either to the Dust Collector or to the ARC
system.
A four position switch is located in the cab , Right hand side panel to control the dust
collector and blow air. There are 2 position on this switch that will energized the dust
collector solenoid. When non of the solenoid valve is energized in the 3 bank valve , oil
is directed to the Boom control valve ( 121 ) and return to the tank. If you look into the
3 bank valve , only the DC / ARC section is the “ ABT “ type . This allows the fan slow
down when the dust collector is switch off and act as anti-cavitation system. Dust
collector fan speed is 4100 RPM.
The filter is clean by air from the compressor. Air is constantly supply to the dust
collector manifold , this air is regulated to 60 psi to prevent over pressurizing the
storage tank of the dust collector and prevent damage to the dust collector filter. These
purge air is control by 3 solenoid valve and a timer module card. There is switch located
in the cab on the right top hand side. When this switch is turn no, electric is supply to
the timer card. These solenoid valve are energized sequentially by the timer. There is 2
adjustment on the timer card . The ON time and the OFF time. ON time means the pulse
duration and is normally adjusted to .05 sec to .35 sec. OFF time means the purge
interval time and is adjustable upward from 5 sec.
9-1-3
Picture above shows the DC Timer card.
When the DC switch is turn On from the cab , power is supply to the timer card
through Wire # 86 as shows above. There is a Power On/Off switch in this timer card,
this switch is normally in On position all time and the PL light will light up. Machine
deliver from factory is normally set with Off time 10 seconds. You can shorten this Off
time interval if more regular purging is needed. On the Timer card you can see there is a
COM wire and wire # 1, 2 and 3. This timer card will control the purging interval.
Explame: if Off time is set at 10 seconds meaning electrical supply is available to the
wire # 1 , 2 and 3 separately. Therefore the solenoid valve will deliver purge air one at a
time.
Please note there is a 2 Amp fuse in this Timer Card.

Training Manual: ECM 585 SECTION 10 – Electrical Circuit
Electrical Circuit.
On the ECM 585 drilling rigs engine mounted is Cummins QSB 6.7, Tier III electronic Engine.
Engine throttle control and fuel controls are done through the ECM ( Electronic Control
Module ) and associated control system. Engine operational parameter are monitored through a
digital EMS ( Engine Monitoring System ) unit. No external fuel solenoid , mechanical engine
throttle control are used on the electronic engine. No engine oil pressure bypass is needed for
starting the engine because it is done through the engine ECM. The EMS has Yellow Warning
Lamp and Red Shutdown Lamp available for system related diagnostics. These diagnostics can
be used for system troubleshooting and information.
When powering up the machine and the ignition key is in ON position , the EMS system will
undergo an automatic self test. While executing the internal test, the display will indicate a visual
indication of all digits to the operator and show that the panel is , or is not properly functioning.
At the same time the warning lamp will light up.
For Shutdown Codes and Warning ( Fault ) Codes , please refer to the Instruction Manual.

Circuit Protection System
A battery isolation switch is used in the circuit to completely disconnect the electrical supply
from the system whenever welding done need to be done on the drill rigs. Whenever the drill rigs
is expected to park for a long period of time, this switch must be turn OFF to conserve the
battery power. FSO is a fusible link which is directly connected to the alternator terminal. This is
to protect the power cable that goes into the cab and the alternator from overload damage.
10 - 2 - 20
Engine Start
A 200 Amp relay is used to provide the high current needed for the engine starter. The Drill /
Tram selector switch has to be in neutral position to start the engine. This is to ensure engine can
only be started without load. Battery Isolation switch must be turn ON. Below shows key in On
position , power is supply to ECM for pre checking. The engine ECM must be working properly
and no fault should be detected by the diagnostic system . To start the engine , the emergency
shutdown system should not be activated. Once Key switch is turn to start position , electrical
supply to start relay and energized to close contact to the start solenoid. Engine will now crank to
start. If emergency shutdown is activated, engine will crank but not start.
10 - 3 - 20
10 - 4 - 20
Cold Start
Cold start is control by the engine ECM , which monitor ambient temperature and determines to
turn on/off the engine heater. A 200Amp relay is used in this circuit because the ECM cannot
provide high level current for the engine heater. Below shows output signal from ECM Pin # 41
and supply power through wire # 38 to energized Heater relay ( 2 ).
10 - 5 - 20
Engine Speed Control.

On the ECM 585 , there is a selector switch for engine speed. Engine low idle at 1200 RPM ,
Drill speed at 1800 RPM and High Speed at 2300 RPM. From the ECM 50 Pin connector , Pin #
47 is always grounded for engine low idle speed. There is two wire # 116 from Air blow On and
wire # 127 for Fast Feed. If any of these switch is turn On , power is supply to energized RLY4
( 174 ). At this time Pin #23 from ECM is grounded and result in High Engine Speed.
10 - 6 - 20
Engine Information System

The engine ECM has a powerful diagnostic capabilities that can adjust operation parameter such
as engine speed or shutdown the engine. Each time the power is turn ON , the ECM will conduct
a pre – check and prevent the engine from starting if there is any fatal fault detected in the
system. This is in addition to optimizing the engine performance through its sophisticated
sensing and control system. The engine ECM monitor all engine operational parameter, such as
engine speed , coolant temp, engine oil pressure etc. Please refer to the Instruction manual for all
the parameter monitor.
10 - 7 - 20
Emergency Shutdown system

The ECM controller will shutdown the engine if Pin ( U ) from the 23 Pin ECM connector is
grounded. Therefore for the engine to run , this Pin ( U ) wire # 30 must be isolated from ground.
In the Emergency Shutdown system , we have all the safety switches running in series with the
trip wire E stop and both the E stop. The safety shutdown switches are Compressor Temp Switch,
Separator Tank Thermal fuse , Hydraulic Temp. Switch. All these switches is normally close
type. If any of these switches or E stop is Open , Relay 2 ( Shut Down relay ) will be de-
energized and Pin ( U ) will be grounded . Engine Stop.
Compressor Temp switch set to open at 248 F or 120 C.

Separator tank thermal fuse not used for ECM 585.

Centralizer Open and Carousal rotation interlock
The centralizer open function is interlocked by an arm retract proximity switch. The proximity
sensor is energized when the arm swing is in the carousal. Meaning Centralizer can only be open
when the Arm retract proximity is ON ( Arm swing into Carousal ). This prevent accidental
opening of the centralizer while pulling steel and dropping the string down the hole. Another
interlock is to prevent the carousal from rotating when the Arm is swing out ( arm under drifter ).
All the above interlock is done with the PLC.
10 - 12 - 20
Fast Feed
When the operator depress the Fast Feed button on the back of the Left hand Control lever, both
the fast feed up and fast feed down solenoid will energized. Wire # 127 will energize fast feed
down solenoid and wire # 126 will energized fast feed up solenoid through the port ( 04 ) on the
PLC. You can see wire # 127 is also directed to the Engine throttle relay , which power up the
engine speed during fast feed as we had explained earlier.

Flushing Air and Dust Collector Circuit.

Before we can operate the blow air system , we need to select the Drill / Tram selector switch to
Drill mode. When selected to Drill mode , Wire # 109 will become a hot wire and compressor
will start to load. The flushing air and dust collector is control by a 4 way dented joystick ,
located on the Left hand side panel . It is named as the Mode Selector switch as stated in the
Instruction Manual.
One point we need to take note , whenever the Low Air is selector. Wire # 116 become hot and is
connected to Relay 4 ( RLY4 ) to energize and engine will go to high speed 2300 RPM.
Below show High Air with Dust Collector.
Below shows Low Air with Dust Collector Circuit.
10 - 14 - 20
Below shows High Air without Dust Collector Circuit.
In the ECM 585, we can select Low Air

without Dust collector. This is done with a
rocker switch located on the Left Hand side
panel as show. This is normally used when
collaring with wet hole to prevent clogging
the dust collector filter.
10 - 15 - 20
Below show Low Air without Dust Collector Circuit.

Auto Rod Changer Circuit
Before we can operate the rod changer system, operator needs to select to Rod changer mode and
Wire # 113 becomes hot to energize RC relay. This will close the contact between wire #110 and
# 150. Now Wire # 150 is hot as show below.
Below shows when selected to Rod Changer Mode.
There is a button switch on top of the Rod Changer Control joystick. When this button is depress,
only the lower clamp works. Below shows moving the joystick to the right and depress the top
white button.

Rod Falloff Avoidance Circuit

This circuit prevent the rod falloff from the carousal due to miss operation during Rod Changing.
When the clamp open switch is activated , Wire # 135 will send a current to Wire 177A . Once
the Rod sensing proximity switch reads the target , it will close the contact and energize Rod
Falloff Relay. When this relay energizes , it will cut off the supply to the Arm swing Drifter
solenoid. Therefore the arm swing will not move to the center.
When the clamp is open and the next rod is in the clamp, the arm will not swing out to the drifter.
10 - 18 - 20
Picture below show the location of the Proximity Switch.
Picture below shows the Rod fall off repaly.
10 - 19 - 20
Seat Switch Circuit

The seat switch circuit is a safety requirement, if the operator had left his / her seat for more than
10 ~ 12 seconds the drill relay will de-energized. When this happen all the functions for drilling
will not operate. To reset this switch , the operator needs to return to the seat and turn the Drill /
Tram selector switch back to neutral.
