FIGURE 11 – “LEFT-HAND STEERING” CONTROL LEVER

LEFT-HAND STEERING CONTROL LEVER

"BUCKET" CONTROL LEVER The "BUCKET” control lever (Figure 10) 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.

HOLDING THE "BUCKET" CONTROL LEVER IN THE DOWN POSITION CAN RAISE THE FRONT END OF THE MACHINE OFF THE GROUND AND COULD CAUSE THE TOP OF THE MACHINE TO STRIKE THE ROOF OF THE MINE, CRUSHING PERSONS OR BODY PARTS IN BETWEEN. MAKE SURE THAT NO ONE IS IN THE HAZARD ZONE (PAGE 21) BEFORE MOVING ANY LEVERS OR PEDALS. 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 (Figure 10) 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.

BEFORE MOVING THE "EJECTOR" CONTROL LEVER, VERIFY THAT NO ONE HAS ANY PART OF HIS 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.

"WINCH" CONTROL LEVER (OPTIONAL) The "WINCH” control lever (Figure 10) controls the flow of hydraulic oil to the winch. 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.

"2-SPEED WINCH" CONTROL 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.

THE "BATTERY CHANGER" LEVER SHOULD ONLY BE OPERATED AT A BATTERY CHANGE STATION. THE BATTERY MAY BE DAMAGED IF ACCIDENTALLY RAISED IN A LOW ROOF AREA.

“BATTERY CHANGER” CONTROL LEVER The "BATTERY" lever (Figure 10) controls the battery changing system, which is made up of two hydraulic cylinders (battery lifting cylinders), one on each side of the batteries. When the "BATTERY” control lever is pulled toward the operator, the battery-lifting cylinders will raise the batteries. Pushing the handle away from the operator will lower the batteries.

THE BATTERIES CANNOT BE CHANGED ON UN-A-TRAC®’S THAT HAVE VERTICAL LIFT BATTERY CHANGING IF THE BATTERIES ARE NOT LEVEL WHEN IN THE RAISED POSITION. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON HOW TO CHANGE THE BATTERIES SEE THE BATTERY CHANGE PROCEDURE (PAGES 31 THROUGH 42).

NEVER ATTEMPT TO DISCONNECT A HYDRAULIC HOSE FROM THE BATTERY LIFTING CYLINDERS WITH THE BATTERY IN THE "UP" POSITION. THIS WOULD ALLOW THE BATTERY TO FALL AND COULD RESULT IN INJURY.

HYDRAULIC PTO ACTUATOR The hydraulic PTO actuator (Figure 10), located to the right of the operator is used to engage the hydraulic PTO. Shifting the control lever either up or down will engage the hydraulic PTO system.

BRAKE RELEASE HAND PUMP The automatic emergency brakes are spring-applied (on), pressure-release (off) brakes located in the driveline. The automatic (park) brake is normally released using the "PARK BRAKE" release switch (see "PARK BRAKE”, page 13). Should hydraulic system failure occur, the automatic (park) brake can be released using the manual brake release hand pump. To release the brakes using the hand pump, turn the hand pump selector valve to the set position. Pump the hand pump until the brake release valve indicates the required minimum 1500 psi (103 bar).

TOWING A DISABLED MACHINE IT IS NOT POSSIBLE, WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS GUIDE, TO ANTICIPATE ALL POSSIBLE ARRANGEMENTS FOR TOWING A DISABLED UNIT. BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO TOW ANY VEHICLE, YOU MUST TAKE ALL POSSIBLE PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT THE OPERATORS AND ANY ONE AROUND BOTH VEHICLES FROM BEING INJURED BY EITHER THE TOWING VEHICLE, THE TOWING DEVICES OR THE VEHICLE BEING TOWED. THE PRIMARY TOWING DEVICE USED (CABLES, BARS, ETC.) AND THE TOWING VEHICLE (SCOOP, TRACTOR, ETC.) MUST BE STRONG AND HEAVY ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF BOTH VEHICLES THROUGH ALL BOTTOM CONDITIONS TO BE ENCOUNTERED AT ALL TIMES. SAFETY CHAINS OR OTHER SAFETY DEVICES MUST BE USED IN CASE OF FAILURE OF THE PRIMARY TOWING DEVICE. ALL OPERATORS MUST BE ALERT AT ALL TIMES TO PREVENT EITHER UNIT FROM "RUNNING AWAY" OR RUNNING OUT OF CONTROL DURING TOWING. THE VEHICLE TO BE TOWED MUST BE SECURELY COUPLED TO THE TOWING VEHICLE BEFORE THE BRAKES ARE RELEASED ON THE DISABLED UNIT. THE OPERATOR OF THE TOWING VEHICLE MUST BE IN PLACE IN THE TOWING VEHICLE WITH THE BRAKES APPLIED BEFORE THE BRAKES OF THE DISABLED VEHICLE ARE RELEASED. 1. Couple the towing vehicle securely to the disabled vehicle.

2. Close the valve to tank circuit that is on the hand pump. This isolates the park brake solenoid from the circuit.

3. Begin pumping the hand pump. The building pressure moves the shuttle valve and allows the Automatic (Park) Brake system to be pressurized.

4. The Automatic (Park) Brake is "released" as indicated by the Brake Release gauge.

AT NO TIME DURING TOWING SHOULD ANYONE RIDE IN OR ON THE VEHICLE BEING TOWED OR STAND IN BETWEEN THE TOWING VEHICLE AND THE DISABLED VEHICLE. 5. Begin towing the vehicle.

6. Once the destination is reached, stop both vehicles and set the parking brake on the disabled vehicle before removing the towing devices. The disabled vehicle should be choked in both directions at all four wheels for additional stability. The brake is "set' by opening the valve on the hand-pump.

FAILURE TO SET THE PARKING BRAKE ON THE DISABLED VEHICLE BEFORE REMOVING THE TOWING DEVICE COULD ALLOW THE DISABLED VEHICLE TO ROLL AWAY UNCONTROLLED.

DO NOT perform maintenance in a congested area. This could endanger the maintenance person or others in the vicinity. The maintenance area should be as clean as possible.

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

CLEANLINESS cannot 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.

DO NOT MOVE ANY HYDRAULIC CONTROL LEVER UNLESS YOU ARE CERTAIN THAT NO ONE COULD BE HURT BY THE MACHINE’S MOVEMENT. DO NOT DISCONNECT A HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT FROM A CYLINDER WHILE THERE IS A LOAD ON THE CYLINDER. DISCONNECT THE BATTERIES BEFORE WORKING ON ANY PART OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

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

For electrical instructions, troubleshooting, and maintenance procedures, refer to the DBT AMERICA INC. "Model LA 2000 Solid-State Troubleshooting Guide,” available from your DBT AMERICA INC. dealer.

THE FOLLOWING 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 MSHACERTIFIED 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: B. Before removing the controller cover, remove electrical power from the system by turning the circuit breaker to the “OFF” position and unplugging the battery connectors.

B. Use insulated gloves and tools where possible.

C. When the power or cover is removed, allow a minimum of 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 across the capacitor assembly and hold for 30 seconds. Repeat for both (2) capacitor assemblies.

D. 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: A. 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 banks discharged (see above.) Once the circuit breaker is in the "OFF" position and the capacitor banks discharged, adjustments or parts replacements can be made.

B. Use insulated gloves and tools where possible.

C. 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.

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 LIFT CYLINDER IS SUPPORTING THE BATTERY, THE BATTERY WILL FALL.

TIRE/WHEEL INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

The following installation procedures are for general guidance when installing a tirelwheel assembly on most underground mining machines. Any use made of the advisory information contained herein is entirely within the control and discretion of the user and is wholly voluntary.

MIXING PARTS OF DIFFERENT DESIGN OR FROM A VARIETY OF SOURCES FOR WHEELS WITH PNEUMATIC TIRES COULD CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.

TIRE/WHEEL STRESSES Rubber tired underground mining machinery is routinely subject to severe abuse due to the conditions in which it is operated. Whether a primary haulage or utility/support vehicle, all are subject to extreme shock, vibration, temperature change and various other loads and stresses that cause maintenance problems. One such problem is found in tire/wheel assemblies.

Many maintenance personnel view installing a tire/wheel assembly on a machine as a relatively simple task. However, if a few simple rules on proper installation are not followed, unnecessary difficulties may be experienced. Tires act like shock absorbers on haulage and support vehicles, transferring cushioned loads to the wheels. Even after proper installation, periodic checks need to be made to insure that tire/wheel assemblies do not loosen, causing wheel studs to break or damaging the mounting bolt pattern.

WHEEL MOUNTING ARRANGEMENTS Various mounting arrangements between the wheel and hub or wheel end are used by manufacturers.

One of the more common is the taper-lock. This arrangement requires a taper on both wheel and hub where the mating surfaces of the taper carry the loads. Incomplete seating of the taper will allow the wheel to loosen, resulting in stud or bolt shear and possible tire/wheel damage.

Another mounting arrangement is based on holding a very close pilot fit where the tolerance between the wheel and hub is very tight, requiring a clamp-load force to hold the wheel securely in place. If the wheel studs or bolts are allowed to loosen, the load will be transmitted to them, resulting in sheared studs or bolts.

PROBLEM AREAS Periodic wheel inspection is critical to the life cycle of a tire/wheel assembly. A fractured wheel, broken bolt pattern and missing or broken wheel studs are all contributors to tire/wheel failures. Problems in these areas occur as the result of repeated cyclical loading as the tire/wheel unit rotates during machine travel. Haulage vehicles loaded unevenly, downhill hauls with high speed turns, or operating a vehicle with one tire of a dual assembly damaged or flat are some examples of conditions that produce damaging high stresses in wheel assemblies. Also, the effects of corroding or poorly fitted mating parts can produce surface irregularities that result in cracks and ultimate failure of a wheel.

76

Revised 11 – 03 MODEL 488L AND 488-6 SERIES UN-A-TRAC®

DBT America Inc.

A most common problem with tire/wheel installations is the incorrect tightening of wheel bolts or studs.

Threaded fasteners perform there function of holding things together better when torque control is used in their tightening. Using an accurate torque wrench correctly is the best and most practical way of securing fasteners, Although torque value charts are available as a reference guide to proper tightening, OEM specifications should always be followed when tightening fasteners. However, proper torque values are of little benefit if certain other factors are not considered.

WHEEL MOUNTING TIPS All fasteners should be examined before use. Any fastener that is worn, bent or has damaged threads should be replaced. Fastener threads should also be lightly coated with a protective substance, such as residual oils, wax or loctite, because any oxidation or rust will upset the torque-to-tension relationship.

Mating surface conditions should also be considered. The tightening surface under the bolt or nut should be carefully inspected. A fastener, when tightened against a softer material, will gall under these conditions, and much of the applied torque may be lost through head friction. It is very important when using higher strength fasteners to have a smooth, even surface under the bolt head. In some cases, hard flat washers and most lockwashers will provide a good tightening surface.

Another area of concern is cleanliness. AlI mating surfaces should be free of rust, dirt, oil, paint, etc.

Also no paint of any kind should exist between a fastener and wheel disc surface. Any form of contamination between these surfaces will most likely lead to serious wheel problems.

FIGURE 48 – WHEEL TORQUING PATTERN

WHEN TORQUING ANY WHEEL BOLT PATTERN, ALWAYS TORQUE IN A TRIANGULAR PATTERN.

FIGURE 49 –TORQUE PATTERNS

77

Revised 11 – 03 MODEL 488L AND 488-6 SERIES UN-A-TRAC®

DBT America Inc.

RECOMMENDED WHEEL MOUNTING PROCEDURES: 1. All steel mating surfaces must be free and clean of any dirt, corrosion, paint, etc. These areas include wheel/hub tapers and disc faces. NO PAINT should be present under bolt heads or nuts.

2. Fasteners should be in proper condition. Any fastener with damage, such as corrosion, bending or worn threads, should be replaced. Replace all broken wheel studs.

3. After positioning the wheel on the hub, tighten nuts down eveningly. Triangulate the bolt pattern tightening sequence as shown in the diagrams.

4. After operating the machine for a short period of time, check the wheel-mounting bolts or nuts for proper torque.

NOTE: Wheel bolts or nuts “seat in” during normal vehicle operation. Therefore, it is necessary to repeat torquing procedures as necessary to seat the wheel to the hub. Planned periodic checks will help maintain correct torque values. All bolts and nuts, regardless of type, should be regularly checked for tightness.

PRECAUTIONS: Do not install or remove tire/wheel assemblies from a machine without proper training.

Check wheel components periodically for cracks or broken parts. damaged or severely rusted components. When in doubt replace.

Replace all cracked, badly worn,

Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to rework, weld, heat or braze any wheel components that are cracked, broken or damaged. Replace such components with new OEM parts of the correct size and type.

Mixing wheel parts of different design or from a variety of sources is potentially dangerous.

Replace broken studs and each unbroken stud next to the broken one.

Replace all damaged wheel studs or bolts.

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

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.

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.

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.
