2 Commercially available Note type PC (Windows 98/2000/Me/XP), with RS232C terminal a Initial setting of VHMS controller shall be done according to the following procedure. This operation is needed prior to a full-scale operation of a machine being delivered and assembled in the field, or prior to resumption of its operation after a long time of storage. a Machine data collected with VHMS controller are stored and managed on WebCARE database. In order to endure smooth data processing on WebCARE, consistency must be provided among the settings done on VHMS controller. Inconsistencies in the settings obstruct loading of data to WebCARE, hampering appropriate use of VHMS data. The initial setting, therefore, is a must. a For the installation procedure of the VHMS initial setting program to a PC, refer to the operation and maintenance manual being bundled with the service kit W1 a In the procedure, service menus of the machine monitor are used. Thus, it is advisable to reference the information contained in the “Special functions of machine monitor” to understand their procedure beforehand. a The initial setting procedure is described in the “ORBCOMM installation specification” and the “ORBCOMM-less specification”. When using the “ORBCOMM installation specification”, implement the procedures needed for VHMS alone, bypassing those prepared only for ORBCOMM installation specification. a Check each step of the setting work referencing the “VHMS initial setting work check sheet”. a Information such as models shown in the figures may not be identical with actual ones. a This confirmation procedure is targeted at the entire machine. Confirm and record the machine information, engine information, VHMS controller information and ORBCOMM terminal information.

No. Information to be confirmed

1Model name

2Machine serial No.

3Current service meter hour

4Engine serial No.

5VHMS controller serial No.

6 ORBCOM terminal serial No. [Only for machines equipped with ORBCOMM] a VHMS controller (1) and ORBCOMM terminal (2) are installed in the cab base inner the distribution board.

2.Connecting a PC a This work is done inside the cab. k Before connecting or disconnecting a PC, be sure to turn off the starting switch. a It can be checked with monitoring function of the machine monitor, too.

1)Make sure the starting switch is at OFF position.

2)Using harness [1] of service kit W1, connect the PC W2 and download connector C53. a Then connect the PC to RS232C terminal.

3.Confirming VHMS controller operation and confirming satellite capturing state a This work is done inside the cab. a Confirmation of capturing of the satellite is done for [ORBCOMM installation specification].

1)Turn the starting switch ON.

2)Check the controller for normal operation referencing 7-segment LED of VHMS controller. a VHMS controller is fed with switch power supply. Thus, its operation is judged normal if its 7-segment LED starts flashing while rotating as the starting switch is turned on and then if the controller starts counting in the ascending order.

3)Among the 7-segment LED situated in the right side of VHMS controller, refer to the one that represents the decimal point to check whether or not ORBCOMM controller has captured the communication satellite. [ORBCOMM installation specification] a Check whether or not ORBCOMM controller is capturing the communication satellite from VHMS controller. a It is successfully capturing the satellite when the LED representing the decimal point in the right side 7-segment LED is flashing.
