Right Control Console

EMERGENCY STOP PUSHBUTTON

The machine stop/emergency stop pushbutton is located on the right operator’s console. It is used to remove power from the machine motions after the motions have been stopped in the normal manner. A second purpose of the pushbutton is to stop the machine under operational emergency conditions. Pushing this button will provide electrical and immediate mechanical braking simultaneously. Therefore, this button should only be used if the operator intends the harshest braking of all motions. If the machine is in motion, power will remain on the motions in order to provide electrical braking for a few seconds. If the machine is in motion or stopped, this button will power the DC bus to approximately zero voltage quickly after the time delay.

CAUTION:PRESSING THIS BUTTON WHEN ANY DRIVE IS IN MOTION MAY RESULT IN COMPONENT DAMAGE.

WINDSHIELD WIPER SWITCHES

The windshield wiper switches control the starting and stopping as well as the speed of the windshield wipers.

CONTROL STOP PUSHBUTTON

The control stop pushbutton is a pushbutton located on the right operator’s console. Normally it is used to de-energize controls after the machine has been safely stopped by placing motion controls in neutral.

CONTROL RESET PUSHBUTTON

CAUTION:This is not an automatic reset system. All controls must be returned to neutral before the control reset button is pushed.

The control reset pushbutton is a pushbutton located on the right operator’s console. The reset pushbutton restores control to all motions if no additional faults exist. This pushbutton is inoperative until the main power start control has been actuated.

If a control fault occurs that shuts down a motion, all motions will automatically be shut down together. At this time the operator should set all brakes. If the fault clears, the motion may be reset by pressing this pushbutton. If the fault does not clear, the unfaulted motions can be restarted by pressing this pushbutton to enable these motions to reposition themselves.

AIR COMPRESSOR

A 3-position selector switch use to select either compressor No.1, No.2 or off.

DIG/PROPEL TRANSFER SWITCH

The Dig/Propel Transfer Switch is used to switch between the two primary operating modes of the machine. The current mode of operation will be indicated on the Operator’s screen on the Operator’s Display. IMPORTANT: •WHILE IN THE DIG MODE, THE PROPEL CONTROLS ARE DISABLED. •WHILE IN THE PROPEL MODE, THE DIG CONTROLS ARE DISABLED.

The recommended procedure to transfer from hoist to propel is to bring all motions to a controlled stop by the operator. Turn the hoist brake switch to the SET position and then press the control stop pushbutton. Turn the transfer switch from DIG to PROPEL.When the indicator on the Operator Display screen indicates that the transfer has been completed, turn the propel brake switch to release.

HEATED MIRRORS

The heated mirrors switch is a 2-position switch located on the right control console. It is used to activate the heating mechanism in the operator’s cab outside mirrors.

MAIN POWER OFF PUSHBUTTON

The main power off pushbutton is located on the right operator’s console. It is used only to immediately remove power from the drives in case of an electrical emergency involving component failure or fire.

CAUTION:PUSHING THE “POWER OFF” PUSHBUTTON WHILE IN MOTION WILL IMMEDIATELY SET THE MECHANICAL BRAKES AND REMOVE INCOMING HIGH VOLTAGE FROM THE DRIVES. THIS ACTION MAY RESULT IN COMPONENT DAMAGE. It will also result in the inability to power the DC bus voltage down to a low value. This voltage will decay slowly, taking several minutes.

MAN ON GROUND

A 2-position switch that when set to ON will illuminate a light on the roof of the operator’s cab. Use this switch to alert other equipment in the area that a person is on the ground in the vicinity of the machine.

EARTH CONTINUITY LOCKOUT PUSHBUTTON

The earth continuity lockout pushbutton is used to trip the breaker that supplies power to the machine. When the machine is operating, this pushbutton should be used to shutdown the machine only when removal of power to the machine is required.

Actuation of this pushbutton when motions are running will cause all motions to automatically electrically brake to a stop and, when the motion speed has reached less than 5% speed, set all mechanical brakes. If the motions are already stopped, the brakes will be set and power is removed immediately. A similar switch is located on the front panel of the PLC control cabinet that can be used during testing of the machine.

DANGER:THE OPERATOR SHOULD NEVER LEAVE THE OPERATOR’S SEAT BEFORE PRESSING THE CONTROL STOP PUSHBUTTON. Setting only the mechanical brakes with individual switches in not a sufficient safeguard to prevent machine damage and/or personnel hazards.

SEAT POSITION

A selector switch used to move the operator’s seat and consoles forward or back. The seat will continue to move as long as the switch is held, or until the end of the seat’s travel is reached.

RADIO/CASSETTE/CD

A quality AM/FM Radio with cassette and CD player for the operator’s use and connected to speakers in the operator’s cab.

OPERATOR’S DISPLAY

The Operator’s Display is a CTR panel used to provide the operator with an interface to the machine and it’s functional areas. From this informational display the operator can make inputs that effect machine operation, monitor systems and make system adjustments. Through this display terminal the operator will receive pertinent fault data to identify potential problems and prevent machine damage.

The display panel is mounted on a tilt-swivel bracket on the left side of the operator. Individual operators can position the screen in any desired position.

DISPLAY AREA AND INDICATORS

The display area of the monitor screen is the large area in the center of the screen. This area is “touch sensitive.” All information will be displayed on this area in either a text format or in the form of visual icons. The buttons and icons that appear on the screen will respond to touching the screen in the appropriate area of the icon.

These icons and buttons will react by activating the screen, switch activation or display information relevant to the icon. The switches and buttons will be covered in the following pages under the screen topic in which they appear.

The indicators on the lower portion of the screen area are indicators and sensors which indicate functionality of the operator display and it’s interface with the machine’s PLC controller. They have no effect on machine operational use.

All the machine controls can be found on the Operator’s Display Panel touch sensitive screen or the left and right Control Consoles of the operator’s seat.

The Title Screen display appears when the machine is initially started.
