Overview of safety instructions _________________________________ WARNING! Failure to set the parking brake on the disabled vehicle before removing the towing device could allow the disabled vehicle to roll away uncontrolled.

CAUTION! The “BATTERY” change control lever should never be operated except at a battery change station or when it’s necessary to adjust the battery's terrain clearance. If the "BATTERY" change control lever is operated in a low roof area, the battery may be damaged.

WARNING! Do not move the “LIFT” attachment control lever if anyone is near enough to the lift attachment to have any part of the body underneath.

WARNING! Before performing maintenance on the machine, disconnect the electrical power. Either the battery circuit breaker or the emergency manual power disconnect (if equipped) must be in the "OFF" position. If work is to be done inside the electrical controller, the battery should be disconnected. Also make sure the capacitor discharge module indicates that the capacitors are discharged before working inside the controller. Electrical shock and accidental machine movement can cause serious injuries or even death to you or the maintenance person.

WARNING! Do not move any hydraulic control lever unless you are certain that everyone is completely clear of any machine movement. Accidental machine movement can cause serious injuries or even death to you or the maintenance person.

WARNING! You could be seriously injured or even killed by falling loads. Observe the safe working load limits of lifting or blocking devices and keep a safe distance from suspended loads.

WARNING! Never disconnect a hydraulic hose if the circuit is pressurized or if there is a load on the circuit. If a hose is disconnected while the circuit is pressurized or a load is on the circuit, the load will fall causing damage to the machine or serious injury or death to you or other workers.

WARNING! Do not lift the front or rear wheels of the UN-A-TRAC ® off the surface by tilting the lift attachment down and lowering the battery, except for maintenance procedures.

WARNING! Never attempt to disconnect a hydraulic hose from the battery lifting cylinders while the battery is in the up position. This could cause the battery to fall and could result in serious injury.

________________________________ Overview of safety instructions IMPORTANT! The drive and pump motors do not require periodic lubrication.

The pump motor bearings are sealed. The drive motors have one bearing sealed and the other bearing receives lubrication from the gear case oil.

WARNING! In order to check and adjust the steering system relief pressure, it is necessary to steer the machine to the turning limit in both directions. Care must be taken to avoid having anyone or any part of your body in the articulation area while the unit is being steered.

All adjustments to the steering relief pressure must be made from inside the operator’s compartment and not from outside the unit.

© DBT AMERICA 2006

WARNING! Some procedures must be carried out with the cover of the electrical controller removed and some procedures require the controller to be energized during the tests. It is extremely important that you take all necessary precautions to prevent accidental electrical shock while working within the controller. An MSHA-certified electrician must supervise and inspect all work performed.

Chapter 6: Technical data IMPORTANT! Due to the application of fasteners being subject to great stresses and heavy or extreme vibration, it is imperative that all bolts be applied with an adequate amount of torque. For this reason this list of recommended torque settings for different types and sizes of fasteners used has been compiled.

The tightening torques stated in the spare parts lists have to be observed, as well, for installation and maintenance.

NOTICE! Use only lubrication fluids and greases approved by DBT America! These fluids and greases have been tested at DBT America and guarantee reliable operation of the mechanical and hydraulic functions of the machine.

IMPORTANT! The lubrication fluids and greases listed in the same table can be mixed. Other products may only be used if the supplier can guarantee that they are equivalent.

Differently composed fluids and greases must not be mixed as this may change the consistency, i.e. the mixture can become thinner so that the lubrication effect is not sufficient. It may also be dangerous to use lubricating greases and fluids having the same specification base but different origins.

In case of doubt, the manufacturer of the lubrication to be used should be contacted as to the compatibility of the lubrication in question.

________________________________________ Storage and transport

Storage and transport This chapter contains important information on the correct storage and transport of the UN-A-TRAC ®.

Observance of the instructions and tips will increase the service life and availability of the machine. You will also be able to carry out the transport work quicker and more safely. Careful attention to the points in this chapter will help you to simplify your day-to-day work.

Storage corrosion protection

Components coated with temporary corrosion inhibitor are protected for approximately six months.

Before delivery, the hydraulically operated equipment is operated and all axles, gear boxes, hydraulic oil tank, etc. are filled to their maximum fill point.

© DBT AMERICA 2006

Storage of the machine and spare parts no direct exposure to sunlight

dirt and moisture

Store the equipment indoors or cover with a tarpaulin to protect against direct exposure to sunlight. Store the electrical equipment, electronic components, spare parts of rubber or plastic – such as seals and hoses – and hydraulic fluids only in closed rooms at temperatures of 60° F (15° C) to 77° F (25°C).

Protect the equipment and all spare parts stored outdoors against moisture and dirt, e.g. using tarpaulins.

The mounting surfaces of hydraulic components must be protected against corrosion and sealed with blind plates. Protect the hydraulic plug connectors and the connectors of the electrical cables with the caps and plugs supplied.

short-term storage

During short-term storage (approximately 4 weeks) of equipment outdoors, but at temperatures above freezing, electrical components need not be removed. Such components must be particularly protected against excessive temperatures, dirt and moisture.

long-term storage

If the equipment is to be stored more than six months, the hydraulic components must be completely filled with a corrosion inhibiting/frostproofing fluid such e.g. CV 50.

Fill the hollow areas of hydraulic components (e.g. the piston chambers) in horizontal position (ports facing upwards) until they start to overflow.

Then seal the ports with plastic or steel plugs.

The equipment must be stored in a well ventilated, dry room. Do not store outdoors.

______________________________________________________________ A6474X245 VSVL / 02 3.3

Storage and transport _________________________________________ plastic deformation

random sample inspection

In order to prevent plastic deformation of the seal elements, cylinders must be stored in an upright position. Some cylinders must be removed so that they can be stored upright.

After a storage period of approximately two years, a random sample inspection must be performed to determine whether the measures taken and the method of storage has prevented damage.

On request, the inspection can be carried out by DBT America.

natural aging

Even with proper storage, seals and hoses are subject to natural ageing. Do not use these parts if they have been stored for more than two years.

HFA fluids

Instructions on the storage of concentrates for hydraulic fluids can be found, if required, in chapter 6 in this operating manual.

Transport Load units; dimensions and weights Observe the transport sheets for the machine and spare parts. They contain information on: ■

Dimensions

■

Weight

■

lifting points, etc.

Additional information on the dimensions and weights can be found in chapter 6 in this operating manual.

WARNING! Use only load handling devices complying with the technical and legal regulations for the transport of loads.

You could be seriously injured or even killed by falling loads.

Use only suitable load handling devices.

_________________________________________________________________ DBT – Model 488-6DM UN-A-TRAC ® 3.4

© DBT AMERICA 2006

IMPORTANT! Take care to insure that new supplies are stored separately from existing stock and that removal takes place on the “first in, first out” principle.

________________________________________ Storage and transport Before transport temperatures below freezing

Before transporting the equipment at temperatures below freezing, all hydraulic components operated with emulsion (HFAE or HFAS) must be completely drained and then filled with a corrosion inhibitor/frostproofing fluid (e.g. CV 50).

Transport of equipment at temperatures between -6° F (-21° C) and 40° F (-40° C) is only permissible when certain measures were taken to meet these conditions at the design and manufacture stages. Nevertheless, the individual parts and devices of this equipment must not be subjected to sudden impact loads at such low temperatures and may only be loaded statically or quasi-statically.

During transport of this equipment with floor-mounted vehicles at such low temperatures, measures must also be taken to ensure that the parts and devices are not subjected to sudden impact loads. At very low temperatures and on poor roads, the transport vehicle speed must therefore be limited to a maximum of 15 mph (25 kph) for truck transport.

© DBT AMERICA 2006

electronic components

Electrical and electronic components must be removed for overseas transport or prolonged storage outdoors unless these components or the complete equipment is protected against harmful environmental influences by a suitable packaging.

The electrical cables remain in the equipment. They must be carefully protected against transport damage and soiling of the connections.

Operation____________________________________________________ “BUCKET” control lever

The "BUCKET” control lever (Fig. 17) is used to control the position of the bucket. When the "BUCKET" control lever is pulled to the right, toward the operator, the front end of the bucket will move up, toward the roof. When the "BUCKET" control lever is pushed to the left, away from the operator, the bucket will move down, toward the bottom. If the bucket control lever is held in the "DOWN" position, the bucket will continue to lower until the front wheels of the unit are raised off the ground.

The "FLOAT” position of the "BUCKET" control lever will allow the bucket to lower to the ground and follow the contour of the mine bottom using the weight of the bucket. This can be useful when doing clean-up work.

WARNING! When the unit is to be shutdown, the bucket should be lowered to the ground to prevent accidental movement of the bucket. If the "BUCKET" control lever is moved when the unit is shutdown, the bucket could drop, even if all other levers and pedals are in the "OFF" position.

“EJECTOR” control lever

The "EJECTOR" lever (Fig. 17) operates the ejector blade located in the bucket. The ejector blade pushes out everything in its path, emptying the bucket. When the "EJECTOR" lever is pushed away from the operator ("OUT”), the ejector blade should move toward the front of the bucket (extend.) When the "EJECTOR" lever is pulled toward the operator, the ejector blade should move toward the back of the bucket (retract). When the ejector blade is not being used, it should be resting in the retracted position.

WARNING! Before moving the "EJECTOR" control lever, verify that no one has any part of their body between the ejector blade and the back of the bucket. Also keep any obstructions from behind the ejector blade so it can return completely to the back of the bucket.

“PTO/WINCH” control lever

“2-SPEED WINCH” control lever

The "PTO/WINCH” control lever (Fig. 17) controls the flow of hydraulic oil to the winch or PTO. When the control lever is pushed away from the operator the winch will pay out cable. Pulling the control lever toward the operator will reel in the cable. (Refer to the winch operation and maintenance manual included in your parts manual) The "2-SPEED WINCH” control lever, located in the floor and to the right of the operator is used to control the speed of the winch. Pulling the lever toward the operator allows the winch to operate at high speed for rewinding cable. Pushing the lever away from the operator allows the winch to operate at slow speed for winching a load.

Maintenance _________________________________________________ ■

Test the controls to ensure that the unit will not move.

■

Chock all four (4) wheels in each direction.

■

Connect steering lockout device.

WARNING! Do not move any hydraulic control lever unless you are certain that everyone is completely clear of any machine movement. Accidental machine movement can cause serious injuries or even death to you or the maintenance person.

■

During maintenance or servicing, if drive motors are to be run, the machine must be jacked clear of the ground and securely blocked. All four wheels must be free to rotate. The center section should also be also be blocked.

■

Do not perform maintenance on a circuit while there is a load resting on the hydraulic cylinder. Booms must be securely blocked if maintenance is to be performed with the boom in the raised position.

WARNING! Never disconnect a hydraulic hose if the circuit is pressurized or if there is a load on the circuit. If a hose is disconnected while the circuit is pressurized or a load is on the circuit, the load will fall causing damage to the machine or serious injury or death to you or other workers.

WARNING! Do not lift the front or rear wheels of the UN-A-TRAC ® off the surface by tilting the lift attachment down and lowering the battery, except for maintenance procedures.

■

Do not perform maintenance in a congested area. This could endanger the maintenance person or others in the vicinity.

■

Whenever a potential problem is uncovered during a periodic maintenance check, it is imperative that it be corrected immediately by a qualified maintenance technician.

■

Cleanliness can not be overemphasized as the essential ingredient of a good maintenance program. Machines should be kept as free as possible of dirt and debris which could impede performance or infiltrate systems and cause premature wear or failure.

Inspect the adjustments at regular intervals. primary hydraulic system pressure

To adjust the main hydraulic system pressure proceed as follows (Fig. 67).

Remove hydraulic control panel cover to gain access to inlet relief valve located on the inlet side of the valve bank.

Loosen lock nut on relief valve and turn the adjustment screw clockwise until it completely bottoms out.

Remove rear cover to gain access to the primary relief valve.

Locate the relief valve attached to the hydraulic pump.

© DBT AMERICA 2006

Remove the protective cap and loosen the relief valve locknut.

Start the machine and operate the PTO control lever in either direction.

NOTE. One person needs to stay in the operator’s compartment to operate the PTO control lever and watch the “SYSTEM PRESSURE” gauge while the other adjusts the relief valve.

Adjust the relief valve screw until the “SYSTEM PRESSURE” gauges reads 2500 psi. Turning the adjustment screw counter clockwise decreases pressure and turning clockwise increases pressure.

CAUTION! Do not adjust the hydraulic system pressure to more than 2500 psi.

Shutdown machine, tighten adjustment screw locknut and install protective cap.

Install rear cover.

Adjust inlet relief valve. (See Inlet relief valve adjustment procedure in this chapter) Install hydraulic control panel cover.

_______________________________________ Adjustment procedures steering relief pressure

To adjust the steering relief pressure proceed as follows (Fig. 68).

WARNING! In order to check and adjust the steering system relief pressure, it is necessary to steer the machine to the turning limit in both directions. Care must be taken to avoid having anyone or any part of your body in the articulation area while the unit is being steered.

All adjustments to the steering relief pressure must be made from inside the operator’s compartment and not from outside the unit.

Remove the hydraulic control panel access cover inside the operator’s compartment.

_____________________________________________ Troubleshooting Troubleshooting procedures The following section lists possible problems encountered when servicing the UN-A-TRAC ® and can aid in locating and correcting these problems.

This section covers basic hydraulic components, with each listed in a trouble-cause-remedy format.

For electrical instructions, troubleshooting, and maintenance procedures, refer to the DBT AMERICA “Dual Motor Controller Solid-State Troubleshooting Guide”.

© DBT AMERICA 2006

WARNING! Some procedures must be carried out with the cover of the electrical controller removed and some procedures require the controller to be energized during the tests. It is extremely important that you take all necessary precautions to prevent accidental electrical shock while working within the controller. An MSHA-certified electrician must supervise and inspect all work performed.

For maintenance procedures and tests that DO NOT require the controller to be energized, these precautions include: Before removing the controller cover, remove power from the system by unplugging the battery.

When the cover is removed, wait one minute for the capacitors to discharge before working inside the controller. To insure that the capacitors are discharged, connect an insulated 100-ohm, 10-watt resistor between the center buss bar and the outer buss bar of the capacitor bank and hold for 30 seconds.

Use insulated gloves and tools where possible.

All connections must be tight and care must be taken to prevent bolts, nuts, washers and other small metal fasteners from being dropped or lost inside the controller. These lost fasteners could cause electrical shorts inside the controller.

For procedures that DO require that the controller be energized while the cover is off: At no time should you reach inside the controller while it is energized. If it becomes necessary to make adjustments or to replace parts inside the controller, the machine circuit breaker must be turned to the “OFF” position and the capacitor bank discharged (see above). Once the circuit breaker is in the “OFF” position and the capacitor bank discharged, adjustments or parts replacements can be made.

Use insulated gloves and tools where possible.

_____________________________________________________________ A6474X245 VSVL / 02 5.63

Troubleshooting ______________________________________________ All connections must be tight and care must be taken to prevent bolts, nuts, washers and other small metal fasteners from being dropped or lost inside the controller. These lost fasteners could cause electrical shorts inside the controller.

WARNING! Never disconnect a hydraulic hose if the circuit is pressurized or there is a load on the circuit. If a hose is disconnected while the cylinder is supporting a load, the load will fall.

___________________________________________ Tightening torques Tightening torques IMPORTANT! Due to the application of fasteners being subject to great stresses and heavy or extreme vibration, it is imperative that all bolts be applied with an adequate amount of torque. For this reason this list of recommended torque settings for different types and sizes of fasteners used has been compiled.

The tightening torques stated in the spare parts lists have to be observed, as well, for installation and maintenance.

IMPORTANT! The lubrication fluids and greases listed in the same table can be mixed. Other products may only be used if the supplier can guarantee that they are equivalent.

Differently composed fluids and greases must not be mixed as this may change the consistency, i.e. the mixture can become thinner so that the lubrication effect is not sufficient. It may also be dangerous to use lubricating greases and fluids having the same specification base but different origins.

In case of doubt, the manufacturer of the lubrication to be used should be contacted as to the compatibility of the lubrication in question.

IMPORTANT! DBT America expressly points out that the approval of the listed products relates only to the pure technical use in our mechanical and hydraulic systems. The responsibility for the constituents used in the hydraulic concentrates lies solely with the respective manufacturer.

IMPORTANT! Be sure to use the manufacturer’s instructions for use.

INTRODUCTION LA 2000: Innovative Speed Control by DBT America FIGURE 1 – SIMPLIFIED LA 2000 CIRCUIT

In the early 1970's, S&S Corporation lead the way in mining innovation with the introduction of Solid State speed controls for battery-powered underground mining equipment. Solid State controls increased the range and reliability of the battery powered vehicles along with providing smooth, stepless acceleration. Even with solid state speed control, direction change was achieved with the use of electromechanical contactors. These contactors provided an endless source of maintenance problems and consumed excessive amounts of valuable controller-box space. Also, most solid state controllers of the past utilize an electromechanical "bypass" contactor to connect the motor directly to the batteries which caused more contactor problems.

In the 1980’s DBT America, in conjunction with Sevcon, developed a contactorless motor controller (X90) to be used exclusively on DBT equipment. The X90 system used a dual-field motor in combination with SCR's (Silicone Controlled Rectifier) to achieve solid state direction change.

Now DBT America, in conjunction with Sevcon, has developed the LA 2000 motor controller. The LA 2000 system uses IGBT’s (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors) to achieve motor control and direction change. Unlike an SCR, an IGBT is turned ON and OFF via a gating electronic signal.

This eliminated commutating capacitor banks and coils. The microprocessor based LA 2000 Logic Card provides complete motor control, and drives both a Diagnostic Dashboard Display along with a hand held Calibrator/Diagnostic Unit.

The IGBT switch operates so fast that it can connect and disconnect the motor in less than 1/1700 second. This is such a short time period that the dual-field motor does not have time to move. Each time the IGBT switch closes and reopens the full battery voltage is applied to the motor terminals for about 1/1700 second. This is commonly referred to as a "pulse."

The IGBT speed control works by feeding to the motor a rapid series of pulses. The number of pulses per second determines the average voltage at the motor terminals 7

Revised 01 – 03

MODEL LA 2000 SINGLE AND DUAL MOTOR SSTS GUIDE

DBT America

Since the windings of the motor are inductive, the current in the motor cannot change quickly.

When the IGBT switch is closed, the current builds up slowly and when the switch opens, the inductance wants to keep the current flowing. For this reason, the "flywheel" diode is provided.

Figures 3 and 4 illustrate the current paths with the switch closed in both forward (Figure 3) and reverse (Figure 4) modes.

FIGURE 2

FIGURE 3

Revised 01 – 03

MODEL LA 2000 SINGLE AND DUAL MOTOR SSTS GUIDE

DBT America

FIGURE 4

As seen in Figure 5, the direction of the current through the motor does not change. More important, when the switch opens, although the battery current stops, the motor current continues to flow via the "flywheel" diode. The motor current is therefore made up of two components: 1. The battery current when the IGBT switch is closed.

2. The "flywheel" current when the IGBT switch is open.

FIGURE 5

9

Revised 01 – 03

MODEL LA 2000 SINGLE AND DUAL MOTOR SSTS GUIDE

DBT America

The amount of the motor current supplied from the battery varies with the pulse frequency.

Figure 6 illustrates a typical situation at low speed. It can be seen from the illustration that the "flywheel" current, because it is flowing for a longer period, forms a larger part of the motor current than does the battery current. However, at high speeds (Figure 7), the motor current is made up of almost all battery current.

FIGURE 6

To summarize, the motor current is made up of a combination of battery current and "flywheel" current so that under all conditions the average motor current is always greater than the average battery current.

At low speeds the motor current can be several times greater than the battery current.

At high speeds, when the IGBT switch is open only for short periods before closing, the motor current is made up almost entirely of battery current.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS The DBT LA 2000 Motor Controller is designed to operate at 128 volts DC, 1200 Amps maximum current limit per motor and controls one or two dual-field electric motors. ¾

The maximum current default settings are: 800A, 1100A and 1200A

¾

Traction functions operate at a speed that is directly proportional to the accelerator (FS1) demand. (See Figure 8)

¾

Traction motor current will be continuously monitored in the motor. Current limit is preset and is adjustable via the optional hand held diagnostics/calibrator unit and is password protected.

FIGURE 8 – ACCELERATOR VOLTAGE

Fail-safe operation will include the following: ¾

In the event of a shorted IGBT, the circuit breaker will be opened, disconnecting power from the traction motors.

¾

Operation of the circuit breaker will always be sensed, and if faulty, drive will be inhibited.

¾

Whenever the vehicle is power-cycled, power-up diagnostics will be executed to test the tram drive circuitry. If faulty, drive will be inhibited.

The temperature of the LA 2000 Motor Controller will be continuously monitored and if it rises above 95°C the motor current will be limited to a maximum of 300 amps of motor current will be allowed.

The LA 2000 Motor Controller features a data logging capability that stores critical data into nonvolatile data RAM. The stored data is displayed in the traction status display of the optional hand held diagnostics/calibrator unit.

TROUBLESHOOTING This section provides troubleshooting information. This guide assumes you have a working knowledge of IGBT controller servicing and that you have the following equipment.

1. Volt/Ohm Meter with Leads 2. Insulated Basic Hand Tools

WHEN WORKING INSIDE THE CONTROLLER, USE INSULATED GLOVES AND TOOLS WHERE POSSIBLE. ALL CONNECTIONS MUST BE TIGHT AND CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO PREVENT BOLTS, NUTS, WASHERS AND OTHER SMALL METAL FASTENERS FROM BEING DROPPED OR LOST INSIDE THE CONTROLLER. BEFORE STARTING ANY POWER-RELATED PERFORMANCE TESTS, THE MACHINE MUST BE JACKED AND SECURELY BLOCKED CLEAR OF THE GROUND WITH ALL FOUR (4) WHEELS FREE TO TURN.

REFER TO THE PARTS MANUAL FOR YOUR PARTICULAR MACHINE WIRING DIAGRAMS AND SCHEMATICS.

THE LOGIC UNIT CONTAINS NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS. OPENING THIS SEALED DEVICE WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.

IGBT and Diode Measurements Before taking readings, the following system conditions must be met: 1. Master switch or control handle in the “OFF” position.

2. Panel disconnected from and isolated from the battery (via main circuit breaker) and battery plugs being disconnected.

3. Motor leads disconnected from panel 4. After power is removed, wait for one (1) minute before making measurements to allow voltage to bleed down

IGBT Measurements (See Figure 11) If reading is 0, IGBT is shorted.

There are two IGBT’s wired in parallel; therefore, if one IGBT indicates short, it may be one or both.

Driver Measurements The measurement of the driver on the DBT America Inc. LA 2000 Motor Controller cannot be done with a volt-ohm-meter. In order to determine whether the driver is faulty, a process of elimination is required. The LED indicates if there is “look ahead” voltage on the IGBT’s and as such does not fully indicate whether the driver is working properly or not.

The steps to follow to determine if the driver is faulty are as follows: 1. Determine if any of the IGBT’s or diodes are faulty by performing the previously illustrated tests.

2. With power applied, the master switch or control handle to the “PARK” PARK BRAKE APPLIED” position, and all motor leads connected, measure the voltage with a volt-ohm meter from “B-” to the motor connection leads, each in turn (“S1” to “B-”, “S4” to “B-”, and so on). The main line contactor must be open.

3. The reading should be less than the battery voltage, but higher than “B-” (in the range of approximately 70 volts). This voltage may vary panel to panel as there is leakage voltage through the IGBT’s and diodes.

4. If the voltage is at the same potential as “B+”, then most likely a diode is shorted.

5. If the voltage is at “B-”, then most likely an IGBT is shorted.

6. The calibrator should indicate which channel is faulty.

7. If the calibrator does not indicate which channel is faulty, the faulty component can be determined in the following manner: • Remove power from the panel, remove the motor connection leads from the panel and follow the measurements as indicated in the previous sections, or determine which channel is faulty.

8. If all the IGBT’s and diodes measure okay, the problem may be with the driver or the logic board.
