General
The hydraulic system on the ROC D-01 is an electrically and pilot-pressure-controlled system. The
system comprises 4 hydraulic pumps. Hydraulic pumps 1 and 2 are driven directly by the diesel engine
via a flexible coupling. The remaining pumps (3 and 4) are fitted as a double pump on the engine’s
power take off (PTO).

Pilot pressure
The pilot pressure is generated in the drilling block, winch block and boom positioning block. This
pressure supplies the drilling block's directional valves with oil. This pilot pressure also supplies the
tramming block’s directional valves with oil and the directional valves for high-speed tramming and
winch freewheel.
The pressure control panel controls the working pressure to pump 1, the feed pressure and rotational
speed in the main drilling block.

Return oil and oil cooler

The hydraulic oil tank has a capacity of 260 litres, which means there is always a “reserve” in the oil
tank. There are two oil filters that filter the hydraulic oil returning from the drain circuit and oil used
to fill the system. There is also a ventilation filter that prevents contaminated air entering the tank
when the level of hydraulic oil fluctuates. The thermostats ensure that the oil flows through the oil
cooler when the temperature is above 40ºC and directly to the tank when the temperature is below
40ºC. The by-pass valve protects the oil cooler from exposing to high pressure.
The oil cooler cools the hydraulic oil so that the rig can work at full load in ambient temperatures up
to 50°C. The cooling fan is driven by a fan motor that is supplied with oil by pump 4 at a maximum
pressure of 160 bar (D5) or 220 bar (D7).
T-Return oil is a collection block that collects return oil from the various circuits and leads this to the
thermostats.
D-Drain oil is a collection block that collects oil from the various circuits and leads this to the return
oil filter.
L-Drain oil is the oil that goes directly to tank for minimum resistance in the circuits.
The filler pump is used to fill the system. There is a stop valve that prevents return oil from leaking
out through the filler pump. A level sensor (B143) detects the level of hydraulic oil in the tank. Should
this drop below a certain level, the diesel engine is switched off automatically. The sensor signal from
B143 goes via I/O module X4:07 (X1:411).
The temperature sensor (B362) senses the hydraulic oil temperature and the temperature will be
shown on the display. The engine will shut down automatically if the hydraulic oil temperature
exceeds 90ºC. The sensor signal from B362 goes via I/O module X2:08 (X1:403).
The drain cock is used to remove water of condensation or to empty the hydraulic oil tank.

Electrical system, general

General
ROC D5/D7/D9-01 RRC has a 24 volt electrical system for powering the radio receiver, control
modules and working lighting. Electrical power is also used to control a number of hydraulic valves
and compressed air valves. The structure of the electrical system is illustrated in a block diagram.
Battery and charging

The power source for starting the engine is two 12 V/185 Ah batteries that are connected in series.
These are charged by an alternator. The batteries are connected to the system via a manual battery
disconnector.
Main fuse
The feed to the electrical cabinet is fused by a 50 A main fuse (F300).
Electrical cabinet
The large electric cabinet A1 contains 17 fuses, of which one automatic circuit breaker that limits the
intensity to the various subcircuits, and numerous relays for the rig’s electrical functions.
ECM (Electronic Control Module) monitors the engine’s functions and sensors. It receives analogue
and digital information about the engine and rig. The information is processed and translated to the
J1939 protocol. The J1939 protocol includes parameters that are shown on the display.

Electrical supply
The power source comprises 2 batteries (12 V/
185 Ah) connected in series. Before the main breaker is
switched on, the diesel heater and timer are supplied with current.
Turning on the main breaker activates circuit 25, which
supplies the radio receiver, relay K4D, 24 V stabilizer, 10 V
converter, CAN modules, Display and working lights with
current. ECM gets powered via K4D, but no operation is being
carried out at this point. Start motor

also supplied to K330 via PLC, when Main switch on
activated, leads current to K200.
Note: The PLC is connected to the
stabilized 24 V circuit. The purpose of the
signal from circuit 50 is only to close the Timer. Diesel heater
relay to K4A.
In the start position the engine is started Batteries
via relay K5A.
Note: The electrical system's ground

cables are not insulated. This means that
the system draws a small current even
when no functions are activated.

RS 232
A B A B A B A B
Digital signals/24 V output
The radio transmitter communicates with the receiver via a radio link (DECT 1880-1900 MHz or
900 MHz). RS 232 serial communication links the receiver and PLC. Logic for digital signals (24 V
ON/OFF signal) is processed by the PLC based on the RS 232 protocol from the receiver.
PWM signals for proportional functions are processed by the PWM card in the receiver. The
digital/PWM signals are linked to the electric valves via the distribution boxes.
HEC System (Hole/Engine Control)

The display shows engine data, angle/hole information and the status of switches/sensors, etc.
The system comprises a display, ECM (Cat’s Engine Control Module), D510 I/O module, D170
boom joint sensor, D171 angle sensor, D169 aiming device, terminal plugs, 24 V stabilizer and 10 V
converter.
Display:
The display is connected to the ECM using J1939 serial communication. The ECM receives
information from analogue sensors and digital switches on the diesel engine. The information is
processed and translated into the J1939 protocol. The J1939 protocol includes parameters that are
shown on the display. The main display D501 receives the J1939 protocol and translates this to CAN,
which is then shown on the display.
Angle/depth measurement:
CAN communication links the boom joint sensor D170 and feed angle sensor D171 to the display. The
distance converter and various sensors/switches are connected to the display via CAN modules. A
terminal plug is connected to D171 at the end of the bus. The display also has a terminal plug installed
to determine the start of the bus. The depth counter generates pulses (0-24 V) that are processed in I/O
module contact X4.
13
Communication
Sensor/switch monitoring system:

This system can present switch and sensor status on the display screen. The analogue sensors are
connected to the CAN bus via I/O module contact X2 and the digital (ON/OFF) switches are
connected via I/O module contact X4 and X2. Some sensors on the CAT engine are also connected
to the monitoring system via J1939/CAN.
Power supply:
The system is supplied with 24 V DC stabilized current to ensure maximum stability. The analogue
sensors are supplied with 10 V DC from the 10 V DC converter. The voltage range for the analogue
signals to I/O module contact X2 is 0-10000 mV.
Radio transmitter
The radio transmitter communicates with the receiver via a radio link, 1880-1900 MHz or 900 MHz.
The radio protocol includes function instructions for the rig. The protocol also includes unique system
addresses (codes) that are allocated to the specific radio system. This prevents the system from being
controlled from other radio transmitters. The system addresses are stored in a code key. In case of
disruption/malfunction or special authorization requirements, the system can be controlled via a
control cable between the transmitter and receiver. The transmitter is in such a case supplied with
power by the cable and can therefore be used without batteries.
The radio transmitter comprises: Four

proportional control levers which are fed
with 2 V. The signals from the control +
L=0
levers range from 0 V (neutral) to 2 V
(end position). The signals are converted
by the receiver (R232 protocol) to a
value between 0-255, where 0 is neutral 5
4
and 255 maximum actuation. 1

2
3
6
The potentiometers in the control levers 0 9
have direction switches. The direction

switch is closed when entering at least
10% of the sector. When the direction
switch is closed, lamp SI2 comes on (see
under receiver).
Switches and buttons - work in the same way as ON/OFF switches and work with 0V/5V. When the
switch/button is activated, the signal is 0 V (passive signal) and 5 V when it is not activate.
Winch potentiometer - supplied with 2 V.
Active stop - switches off the electrical supply to the transmitter, which switches off the rig.
Note: This only applies if the rig has contact with the radio transmitter.
LED-Lamp
Flashes rapidly green when the transmitter is searching for contact with the receiver (DECT
system only).
Flashes at medium speed with the transmitter is in PWM adjustment mode.
Flashes slowly green when communication is OK.
Flashes irregularly green in case of an internal short circuit on the SI2 circuit.
Flashes red when battery voltage is low.
14
Communication
Radio receiver
The receiver converts the radio waves to two types of signal: PWM signal (Pulse Width Modulation)
and RS232 data protocol.
The PWM signal is an analogue output signal that drives the proportional hydraulic valves (functions
controlled by two control levers, the tramming controls and winch potentiometer). The receiver has 15
active channels for PWM signals. Each channel can be individually adjusted to ensure the correct
speed of movement. Min (crawling speed) and max (fast speed) can be adjusted separately. The
adjustment range is 0-1500 mA. In general, the valves start to react at 200-300 mA and reach their end
positions at 400-600 mA. Read more under the section “Adjustment via the transmitter (radio)”.
LED on receiver:
The amber lamp lights when the receiver is fed with voltage.
The red lamp lights if communication between the transmitter and receiver is faulty.
The first green lamp SI1 (3) lights when communication between the transmitter and receiver is
working. Also, the red lamp goes out.
The second green lamp SI2 (4) lights when a PWM channel is high, i.e. proportional functions are
activated.
The RS232 protocol is converted by the PLC to digital output signal (ON/OFF signals) (see next page).

PLC
The new PLC base unit has enhanced capacity and can handle data protocols. Just as previous
generations of PLC, the unit only handles 24 V digital input/output signals. All digital functions
(On/Off) generate signals using the RS232 data protocol. The RS232 protocol is based on the
functions that are active on the radio transmitter. The protocol includes instructions that are processed
by the PLC in order to activate the outputs. The logic for the PLC is stored in an EEPROM (program).

All multi/tramming controls with proportional movement produce a PWM output from the receiver.
The proportional functions for boom lowering, drill feed and rapid feed are activated in the same lever
sector. Each lever sector that produces a PWM signal has its own output channel on the receiver.
When the various functions use the same output channel (3,4) the signal is guided by relays K365,
K376 and K377 to the correct electrical valve. The PLC outputs Y64-67, 76-77 and 104 control the
PWM relays. (See figure on next page.)
Note: RHS arm movements, carousel rotation, gripper claw opening, rotation, percussion/flushing air
and threading/unthreading are controlled by multi lever sectors but the signal type is a digital 24 V
PLC output.
LED on PLC: When the PLC receives data from the receiver, the lamp flashes red.

Display
The main display is the main processing unit in this system. All CAN data is processed by the main
display and then shown graphically or digitally on the display. The logic program is stored in the main
display and the software is downloaded via an USB stick (see the loading instructions in the separate
chapter).
__________________________________________________________________________________________
I/O module
The I/O module has a number of in/outputs which can handle both analogue input signals and digital
in/output signals.
Operation LED:
The diode lights orange during hardware initialisation.
When the module is working nomally, the diode blinks
green (2.0 Hz).
X5
If there is no program loaded in the hardware, the diode
blinks green with higher frequency (5 Hz).
If the diode is on constantly then the program has stopped. X3
If the diode gives red light, this indicates fault with X1
hardware, e.g. short circuit. X4 LED
X2
RS232
CAN LED:
When the CAN-communication between I/O module and
the display is OK, the diode blinks red.
If the diode is on constantly or it is not at all activated, then
there is no CAN-communication.
It can be that the terminal plugs may be missing.
Note: Only one CAN LED is used.

Contact X2
Contact X2 handles both analogue and digital input signals. Signals from B352 and R189 have a range
between 0-10000 mV. Signals from B366 and B362 have a range between 500mV-4500mV. Some
signals also generate information that is shown on the display.
Contacts and inputs:

X2:01 (X1:401) Analogue input data from B352, fuel level sensor
X2:02 (X1:402) Analogue input data from B366, compressor temperature sensor
X2:08 (X1:403) Analogue input data from B362, hydraulic oil temperature sensor

X2:03 (X1:421) Digital input data from relay K105 which is controlled by PLC output
Y105. (PLC output Y105 is high when hole length/depth is zeroed.)
Note: When the analogue signals from B366 and B362 is >4500 mV or <500 mV, the warning
symbol for sensor error is shown on the display.
Guidelines for analogue signals:

X2:01 (X1:401) Input data from B352 fuel level sensor. ~10000 mV with full tank and
~0 mV with empty tank.
X2:02 (X1:402) Input data from B366 compressor temperature sensor. Engine shuts

X2:08 (X1:403) Input data from B362 hydraulic oil temperature. Engine shuts down
at ~3200mV (90°C). Normal temperature at ~2200mV (40°C).
X2:07 (X1:404) Input data from potentiometer R189 engine rpm. 300mV is the
minimum revolution (1200 rpm), 9700mV is the maximum revolution
(2200 rpm).

X3:09 24V output signal which detects input signal from B382, ECL

X3:08 24V output signal which detects input signal from B381, ECL
collection low (option)
20
CAN, general
Outputs X3:08 and X3:09 are constantly sending out signals to inputs H and G on the N510 MUX
module which is located in the A1 cabinet. Though these signals are sent in different phases, i.e. only
one of the inputs is “high” at the time. Toggling between the two inputs happens 10 times in a second.
Input signal to input G and H on 510 MUX module:

G B
X3:09 B382
X3:09 Ingång G
H A
X3:08 B381
X3:08 Ingång H
F D
By using these signals, the module can detect whether any of the X4:14 - signal
sensors B382 and B381 are activated.

E.g. when it happens that both input G and input B (connected to B382) are “high”, then we will have
a “high” signal from output F. Then the input signal is toggled so that input H become “high”, now the
module is going to check whether input A (connected to B381) is activated. In the same way we will
get the next output signal from F which will either be a “high” or a “low” signal. In other words it can
be seen as using just one output to tell the status for two different sensor inputs.
Inputs B and A are also equipped with own light diodes which tells the sensor status.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Contact X4
Contact X4 handles digital input signals (24V) and counts pulses from the depth counter sensor. Some
signals also generate information that is shown on the display.

CAN, general
CAN bus
There are various types of control modules (I/O module, ECM, main display, etc.). Common to all of
these is that they each contain a separate processor. The modules communicate with each other over a
CAN bus. The CAN bus uses serial communication. One piece of data at a time is sent over the bus
until all the data has been transmitted. This is a simple method and the cable requires only two
conductors (CAN high/CAN low).
__________________________________________________________________________________
10 V converter
Analogue sensor B352 and engine rpm potentiometer R189 are fed with 10 V. This is supplied by a
10 V converter.
__________________________________________________________________________________
24 V DC stabilizer
The alternator is the power source for the electrical system when the engine is running. The alternator
generates between 24-27 V depending on the engine speed. Certain control modules require a stable
24V DC to work correctly. The stabilizer supplies these modules with stabilized 24V DC.
The stabilizer can be calibrated with potentiometer U2 (between terminal U2/4 and U2/14 on the
stabilizer).
The stabilizer is equipped with a short circuit protection. In case of short circuit the outgoing voltage is
lowered to approximately 1.5V. If this is the case the short circuit must be found and fixed before the
stabilizer can once again feed the system with 24V.
LED:
The LED shines when the stabilizer is fed with current.

(120Ω) that terminates the wiring correctly so that the signal does not “bounce back to the system”.
Terminal plugs are located at D171 module, D169 module and display module.

Diesel engine
Diesel engine
The engine on the D5/D7/D9-RRC is a turbocharged, water-cooled diesel engine from Caterpillar
called C7. Its output at 2200 rpm is 168 kW.
Battery disconnector Off

Before the battery disconnector (S300) is switched on, a small current is supplied to the diesel heater
and timer via fuses F02 and F03.
Battery disconnector On
When the battery disconnector (S300) is on, current is supplied to the diesel panel and ECM via the
main fuse F300, automatic circuit breaker F1 and fuse F11. Current is also supplied to the serial
emergency stops S132A, S132B and S132D in the diesel panel (A50). See details on drawing
9840042285 pages 3, 4 and 5.
Note: ECM is powered via fuse F8 through relay K4D, but the communication between ECM and rest
of the system has not yet started.

key, the key springs back to the running position. If the engine fails to start, check which symbol(s)
are displayed and rectify the fault. Turn the key back to position 0 before trying again.
Control instrument
The ECM checks and monitors all engine data and diagnostic information from the diesel engine’s
sensors and switches. This information is sent using the J1939/CAN protocol to the display, where all
the necessary engine information is presented.
Signals are also sent via the CAN modules directly to the display, from which information can be read.
Warnings and critical conditions are shown in the status bar. The engine is switched off automatically
if there is a risk for engine breakdown.

Engine monitoring
A number of sensors and switches on the engine do not generate warnings in the event of a fault. The
old system with diagnostic “flash” codes has now been replaced by a direct code system. This allows
you to go directly to the CAT fault diagnosis table to interpret the codes. The table will only present
information when a fault arises. The ECM or the engine sensor symbol on the status bar indicates that
a fault has been detected. This can be found in the menu for ECM sensors. The fault is displayed as a 3
digit SPN code and 2 digit FMI code. (See figure)
Ex:
SPN code 164. According to the CAT manual, 164 is the injection actuator pressure sensor. The SPN
code indicates the faulty component.
FMI code 02. According to the CAT manual, 02 means that the sensor does not have a signal.
The FMI code indicates the nature of the problem.

If PLC/Y24 becomes high (default setting), relay K324 is activated. When the contact closes, the
engine speed is set to idling (1500 rpm) via the ECM. If PLC/Y24 is low, the engine speed is variable
and can be adjusted manually with potentiometer R189. See details in drawing 9840042285 pages 9
and 23.
If working at variable engine speed (1200rpm-2200rpm), the engine speed drops to 1500 rpm when
button S189 is re-activated. If a function requiring higher revs is then activated, the engine speed
automatically returns to that set via potentiometer R189.

Compressor
Compressor
General
The built-in compressor is a single-stage, oil-lubricated compressor. The normal working pressure is
set at 10.5 bar for D9-01 (standard 135 l/s), 10.5 bar for the D7-01 (standard 105 l/s; option 127 l/s)
and 8.5 bar for D5-01 (standard 85 l/s) with Caterpillar’s diesel engine.
Compressor unit
The compressor unit comprises two rotors: a drive rotor and a slide rotor mounted on rollers and ball
bearings. The drive rotor is driven by the diesel engine and transfers power to the slide rotor. The
rotors are lubricated with oil that is injected and mixed with the air. This increases efficiency since the
oil forms a seal between the rotor blade and the housing. The compressor unit is an Atlas Copco type
C106 screw compressor.
Air flow
The intake air is drawn through the air filter and an over centre valve to the compressor unit. The over
centre valve also prevents oil returning into the system. The air is mixed with injected oil and goes
directly from the compressor to the air receiver. In the air receiver, the majority of the oil is separated
from the air/oil mixture using an oil separator. This oil is removed by a separator unit. The flow of
compressed air passes through a pressure valve to the drill rigs air system. The pressure valve prevents
the pressure in the air receiver dropping below the lowest working pressure for the compressor, even
when the air outlet valves are open, to ensure the correct function of the oil system.

Compressor
Cooling and oil systems

Oil is used for lubrication, sealing and cooling. There is no oil pump with pressure provided by the air
pressure. The lower part of the air receiver acts as an oil tank. The air pressure means that the oil is
transported from the air receiver through the oil cooler and oil filter to the compressor unit. The
compressor unit has an oil platform at the bottom of the sleeve. The oil for rotor lubrication, cooling
and sealing is injected through a hole in this oil platform. The bearings are lubricated by oil injected
into the bearing housing. The air/oil mixture leaves the compressor unit and returns to the air receiver,
where the oil is separated from the air. The oil that is collected at the bottom of the oil separator
returns to the oil system through a cleaning line that has a flow limiter.
Note: A thermostat valve bypasses the oil cooler when the oil is below 70°C.

Regulator system
The compressor control system comprises a regulator valve. This valve controls the air volume
supplied by the compressor for air consumption whilst also keeping the working pressure within a
certain range. The control system also includes a load valve that is activated by a switch on the diesel
control panel. The load valve allows the diesel engine to warm up before engaging the compressor.
Instrument and fault indication

The pressure of the compressed air delivered from the compressor can be read from the pressure
gauge. The compressor also has a temperature indicator switch (B366), which automatically sends an
alarm to the display and switches off the diesel engine if the compressor temperature exceeds +120°C.
29
Radio system
Pumps and pilot pressure

Pump 1
Main pump 1 in the hydraulic system is an axial piston pump with variable displacement that delivers
oil to control the pilot pressure. The pump is pressure compensated, which means that the pressure is
constant irrespective of the flow, so long as the flow is below the maximum capacity of the pump (150
l/min). The pump pressure can be controlled using external pressure valves or the internal pressure
control valve (DR).
The pump delivers hydraulic power to the following functions:

Percussion
Feeding
Feed positioning
Boom positioning
Tramming
RHS system
During drilling, pump 1 is controlled by the actual output pressure.
During tramming, it is connected to an open circuit system with a flow distributor that distributes the
flow equally to left and right tramming motors.
Internal pressure valve

During tramming or positioning the internal
pressure control valve (DR) checks the pump
pressure. The DR valve also limits the max.
working pressure (250 bar) for the pump.
External pressure valve DR: Max. pressure

During drilling, the pump pressure is controlled LS: Standby pressure
by two relief valves for high and low percussion.
These are connected to the pump control system.
Pump 1, pressurizing
Checking/determining standby pressure “LS”

1. Disconnect pilot hose PIX 1 from the “LS” valve and plug the hose.
2. Connect the text gauge hose to outlet 1 on the test panel.
3. Start the engine and set the speed to 1500 rpm.
4. Set the drilling/tramming switch to drilling.
5. The pressure on the tester should be 20-25 bar.
6. Adjust the “LS” screw on the pump regulator if required.
7. Switch off the diesel engine and refit hose PIX 1 to the “LS” valve.
Checking/determining max. pump pressure ”DR”

1. Connect the tester hose to the connection on pump 1.
2. Start the engine and set the speed to 1500 rpm.
3. Set the drilling/tramming switch to drilling.
4. The pressure on the tester should be max. 250 bar.
5. Adjust the “DR” screw on the pump regulator if required.

Radio system
Pump 1 pressure under engine startup

Pump 1 is unloaded for five seconds when starting the engine. Solenoid valve Y121 is activated for
five seconds after the key has been released back to the ignition position. This is needed in order to
lead the pump 1 oil directly to the tank when staring the engine, and by activating Y121 an open center
system is created. In this way the engine does not need to work against high pressure when starting up.

Pump 2
Pump 2 delivers oil to the rock drill’s rotation motor. The maximum pump pressure for pump 2 is set
via the relief valve in the drill rotation circuit.
Pump 3 and 4
Pumps 3 and 4 are fitted as a double pump on the diesel engine’s power take off.
Pump 3 delivers oil to the dust collector’s fan motor during drilling, or to the positioning/winch
circuit during tramming.
During drilling, the pressure of pump 3 can be set on a relief valve in the DCT valve block.
During tramming, the pressure of pump 3 is set constant at 210 bar.
Pump 3 is unloaded at engine start-up.
Pump 4 drives the cooler motor for cooling the hydraulic oil, compressor oil as well as engine’s
intake air and cooling water. It also delivers oil to the track oscillation lock mechanism. Pump 4 is
a gear pump and is driven by the power take off on the side of the diesel engine. The pressure of
pump 4 cannot be adjusted but is controlled by the relief valve for the cooling fan. This is set to
160 bar for D5 and 220 bar for D7. This pump is permanently active.
Pilot pressure
The oil that controls the pilot pressure comes from pump 1 and pump 3. The oil is led to the main
drilling block/boom positioning block/winch block from respective pump through a pressure reducing
valve (set to 35 bar), through a strainer and out to the pilot circuit. The oil in the main drilling block is
led through solenoid valve Y121, which guides the pilot pressure either to the drilling or tramming
circuit. To protect the pilot system against pressure surges, there is a pressure limiting valve set to 50
bar.

The switch shown above is found on the remote control box
The pilot pressure is led through solenoid valve Y169, the function of which is to cut the pilot pressure
flow to all functions in an emergency. When solenoid valve Y169 is activated, the oil is led to valve
Y121 which then leads the pilot pressure to either the drilling circuit or tramming circuit. Y121 is
controlled by switch S130 (see Fig. 1).
High and low speed can be selected from the remote control box (S137). If low speed is selected, the
pilot pressure is led through solenoid valve Y121 and then to the directional valve in the main drilling
block (see Fig. 2). If high speed is activated, the pilot pressure is led through valve Y122 and on to the
valve block for the tramming motors (see Fig. 4).

Positioning
Positioning
The positioning circuits (including track oscillation circuit) are primarily supplied with oil by pump 1.
Since the tramming circuit is also supplied with oil by pump 1, pump 3 has to be used for positioning
during tramming. Since pump 1 (250 bar) is larger and works at a higher pressure than pump 3 (210
bar), positioning is more rapid and powerful in drilling mode than during tramming. The flow from
pump 1 is greater than from pump 3.

The position cylinders are controlled by pilot controlled directional valves (see figure next page).
The pilot pressure that is used for boom positioning is generated internally in the boom positioning
block, in the same way as the pilot pressure is generated in the drilling block. This is done via a
pressure reducing valve set to 35 bar, a strainer and out to the pilot circuit. To protect the pilot system
against pressure surges, there is a pressure limiting valve set to 50 bar.
During tramming, pump 3 delivers oil to the positioning circuits. When the rig starts to tram (activated
by S174/S175), solenoid valve Y187 is activated. This pressurizes the pump 3 circuit and connects it
via a pressure limiting valve to the positioning circuits. When not tramming, the positioning circuits
are supplied with oil from pump 1.

parallel via the over centre valves (see figure). The over centre valves are pilot opened by the pressure
from Pump 4 when valve Y473 is activated with the spring return Y473 which is activated by S445 on
the remote control box. This valve has two positions:
Open position (floating)

When Y473 is activated, pilot pressure is delivered to the over centre valves. The ratio
between the over centre valves is 1/13, which means that 25 bar is needed for them to permit
oil flow to the cylinders connected in parallel. This position is used for tramming so that
unevennesses in the ground are compensated for between the two cylinders (see figure).
Closed position (locked)
When valve Y473 is inactivated there is no flow between the cylinders (over centre valves are
closed). This valve position is used make the rig stable for drilling.

Flushing air modes
Flushing air mode is controlled by a flushing air switch S100. There are two flushing air modes:
reduced and full. These are activated by solenoid valves Y116 and Y115. When reduced flushing air is
selected Y115 is switched off and the air goes via Y116 and can then be regulated by a control valve
(see figure).
Flow switch
When full flushing (Y115+Y116 activated) is on, the flow switch (B142) protects against drill bit
clogging when drilling through clay or soft rock. When the air flow falls below a certain limit, the
flow switch’s electrical contacts close activating drill feed back (valve Y104B) in the drill feed
hydraulic circuit. Drill feed down is the reverse of drill feed up.

Activation of drill rotation functions:

To activate the drill rotation circuit, function switch S130 must be in the drilling position. S101 must
not be activated since this controls the deactivation of rotation and other functions. Valve Y102B
(rotation right) and valve Y102A (drill rotation) control the pilot-controlled directional valve (see
figure), which acts as a constant flow regulator along with the shunt valve, and supplies power to the
rotation motor. The two pressure valves (see figure) control the max. pressure to the rotation motor
(160 and 125 bar respectively). During drilling, the flow is controlled by a pressure limiting valve (see
figure) which controls how much flow the main directional valve should get. The flow to the rotation
motor is proportional to the opening of the directional valve.

The percussion circuit includes functions for activating the rock drill’s percussion mechanisms and
controlling the pressure for collaring and drilling (low and high pressure). The percussion pressure is
supplied by hydraulic pump 1. To protect the rock drill and drill steel, the DPC-I system can switch off
or lower the percussion pressure if certain conditions are not fulfilled. The DPC-I system is described
separately.
Activating percussion
The directional valve in the main drilling block has two functions: to lead the oil to the rock drill’s
percussion mechanism and to lead the oil to the tramming circuit. The directional valve is controlled
by Y101A via the two QDS valves I and J (see figure on next page). If the damper pressure is lower
than 35 bar, valve QDS-I will close. If the pressure exceeds 120 bar, valve QDS-J will close. These
QDS valves are part of the DPC-I system and sense the rock drill’s damper pressure. If the damper
pressure does not agree, the valves close to prevent the activation of the directional valve. When the
percussion pressure is activated, the pilot pressure is also led to QDS valve B which permits one of the
pressure relief valves to take control of the pressure of pump 1.
To activate low percussion, turn the drill lever (S261) anticlockwise with holding for more
than 0.5 sec. Turning anticlockwise again deactivates low percussion.
To activate high percussion turn the drill lever (S261) clockwise after low percussion has
been activated. Turning clockwise again deactivates high percussion.
Percussion pressure
The percussion pressure can be read from the pressure gauge at the front of the rig. The pressure for
low and high percussion can also be adjusted there.
Low percussion pressure (pump 1): QDS valve B is activated once both solenoid valves
Y101A and Y101B have been activated when drill lever S261 is in position for low
percussion.
This connects control line “DP” for pump 1 to the pressure relief valve for high percussion,
and if QDS valve A is not activated, to the pressure relief valve for low percussion.
In the low percussion position, QDS valve C is active, which prevents QDS valve A being
activated. Subsequently, the pressure relief valve for low percussion controls the pressure of
pump 1.
Note: In the low percussion position, QDS valve E is also activated to ensure low feed pressure.
High percussion pressure (pump 1): QDS valve B is still activated since solenoid valve
Y101A is ON when drill lever S261 is activated for high percussion. Since Y101B is OFF,
QDS valve C is no longer activated, which means QDS valve A is controlled by the rock
drill’s damper pressure (DPC-I system). Normally, the rock drill’s damper pressure is greater
than 50 bar during drilling. This activates QDS valve A which prevents the relief valve for
low percussion from controlling the pump pressure. The pump pressure is instead controlled
by the relief valve for high percussion.

Valve Y104A (drill feed forward) and valve Y104B (drill feed back) control the directional valve in
the drill feed block (see figure). The hydraulic force is then led to the feed cylinder via 2 variable
throttle valves. A pressure limiting valve set to 70 bar controls the drill feed pressure. Logic block 1 is
supplied with 35 bar (pilot pressure) via Y101A or Y101B.
Valves Y151A (rapid feed forward) and Y151B (rapid feed back) control the directional valve in the
rapid feed block (see figure). Depending on the direction of feed, pressure limiting valves for max.
pressure for forward or backward feed are activated. The maximum forward pressure is 100 bar and
maximum backward pressure 230 bar (see figure). Logic block 2 is supplied with 35 bar (pilot
pressure) only by Y101B.

Damper and DPC-I system

Damper
The rock drill’s damper circuit is supplied with oil by pump 1 through a constant flow regulator. The
flow regulator is adjusted to a pressure of 35 bar at the damper hose connection on the rock drill.
The damper pressure during drilling indicates the actual feed force on the drill bit. The pressure can be
read off the pressure gauge at the front of the rig. During drilling, the damper pressure controls certain
QDS valves, which in turn control the percussion pressure. This is described further under DPC-I
system.
Adjusting damper pressure

Damper pressure must be adjusted with the damper piston in the floating position, i.e. the piston is not
at either end position but floating in between. To ensure that the piston is in the floating position, pull
the shank adapter out as far as possible. Only adjust the damper pressure when the hydraulic oil is at
normal operating temperature, 40°C (104°F).
1. Connect a pressure gauge between the damper hose connection and the damper hose on the
rock drill.
2. Start the diesel engine and let it run at 1500 rpm.
3. Make sure that the shank adapter is fully withdrawn, i.e. the damper piston is in the floating
position.
4. Put the rig in drilling mode.
5. Undo the lock screw on the knob and adjust the damper pressure by turning the knob:
clockwise to lower the pressure and anticlockwise to raise it.
6. Tighten the lock screw once the pressure is correct.
Note: The percussion should be stopped if the damper pressure exceeds 120 bar.
DPC-I system
The DPC-I system (Damper Pressure Controlled Impact) controls the percussion function by sensing
the damper pressure during drilling. Depending on the damper pressure, percussion may be permitted,
stopped or switched between high and low percussion pressure. This is made possible by a number of
sequence valves (QDS valves) in the rig’s hydraulic system.
QDS-I: Blocks the pilot pressure from percussion valve Y101A to the directional valve if the damper
pressure is too low. In this case, the activation of percussion is prohibited if the damper pressure is
below 35 bar or percussion stopped if the damper pressure falls below 50 bar during drilling in
cavities, a hose ruptures or valve malfunctions.
QDS-J: Blocks the pilot pressure from percussion valve Y101A to the directional valve if the damper
pressure exceeds 120 bar. This may occur if the feed pressure is abnormally high or if a mechanical
fault arises in the damper.
Figure: QDS valve
56
QDS-A: During normal drilling with high percussion pressure, QDS valve A is activated by the
damper pressure through QDS valve C and D. If the damper pressure drops below 50 bar, QDS-A is
activated. This means that the relief valve for low percussion controls the pump pressure instead of the
relief valve for high percussion pressure.
Warning! Incorrect adjustment of the DPC-I system may damage the rock drill, rig and drill steels.
Adjustment should only be made by a qualified service technical from Atlas Copco.
QDS-D: Activated by the pilot signal for drill rotation. In other words, the DPC-I only works when
drill rotation is active. When valve QDS-D is closed to damper pressure, it is open to the control line
(DP) for pump 1. This means that the DP pressure pilot controls QDS-A, which closes the pressure
limiting valve for low percussion. System pressure P1 is thus controlled by the pressure limiting valve
for high percussion.
QDS-C: Activated by Y101B (S130 in drill position and/or low percussion activated) or for reverse
feed. This allows the percussion pressure to be controlled via the pressure limiting valve for high and
low pressure.

Anti-jamming protection, RPCF

Anti-jamming
The anti-jamming protection is an automatic monitoring function that is always active during drilling.
The anti-jamming function is activated by high rotation pressure or lack of flushing air during
drilling.
Function
When the anti-jamming protection is activated, the rock drill backs off until the jamming conditions
with regard to rotation pressure (B134) and flushing air (B142) cease to exist. The rock drill backs off
until the rotation pressure returns to the permitted value (80 bar) or the flushing air is activated.
Conditions for anti-jamming protection with regard to high rotation pressure:

Note: If drill feed back is active, Y2 is disengaged.
If the rotation pressure exceeds 80 bar, sensor B134 is activated via QDS-K (see figure). The signal is
sent to the PLC (see preceding conditions) and the directional valve Y109 which controls the direction
of feed is activated.

RPCF
Function
RPCF controls the feed pressure to maintain a constant rotation pressure (torque). If the rotation
pressure exceeds an adjustable nominal value, the RPCF valve will be opened and the feed pressure
reduced proportionally via the pressure control valve for low feed pressure. The feed pressure will
always lie between the values for Feed pressure reduced and Feed pressure full.

switched off after drilling. (See conditions for percussion off.) This delay is set externally via the ECL
relay and is not affected by a loss of output signal (Y0).
ECL pump Y106 starts to pump as soon as the flushing air is turned on. The pump receives pulses
from the ECL module (20-25 pulses/min) in the electrical cabinet. Lubrication oil is fed through a
small plastic hose inside the air hose to the rock drill, where the oil and air are mixed. The lubrication
pressure gauge is located on the pressure control panel.

Air system
Note: For cleaning, the first condition is that suction is on (Y21/On). The second condition is that
suction is turned off (Y21/Off). Suction is turned off by activating S100 (neutral position), switching
off S181 or by switching off flushing and DCT with the drill lever. (See drilling section)
The air supply to the DCT is limited to 7.5 bar by a pressure reducing valve (see figure). The solenoid
valves Y251A-C are opened at the same time to clean the DCT filter. Dust collection starts when the
air cylinder opens the fan outlet hatch. This is controlled via the DCT switch when the dust collector is
in position ON, which in turn activates solenoid valve Y253 (DCT hatch). (See figure)
The extra air outlet is limited to 7.5 bar by a pressure reducing valve (see figure).

Length measurement
Length measurement
Hole depth measurement
Data from pulse sensor B172 is processed to measure
hole length, with a stop signal for drilling sent when the
set length is reached. A choice can be made between hole
depth and hole length which stops the drilling.
The first row in the menu to the right (figure 2 and 3)

displays the actual length/depth of the hole.
Hole length is the actual number of metres that
have been drilled. Figure 1
Hole depth is the vertical distance from ground
level to the bottom of the hole.
Hole length and hole depth can be set on a menu, push
enter key according to the selection on figure 1.
The line displays the desired hole length/hole depth.

The length or depth can be set from 0.1 m - 99.9 m.
When the hole has the desired depth/length, the PLC
automatically sets the drilling output to “low”. Drilling
can be continued by restarting the drilling function. Figure 2
The second row displays the penetration rate.

The third row displays the position of the drill bit.
Ex: If the hole is 10 m, the first line displays 10 m. If the

drill steel is run backwards, the drill bit position starts to
count backwards to inform the operator of the distance
from the bit to the bottom of the hole.
: Reset of the hole depth Figure 3
: Numbers of the performed couplings
The last row displays the total number of drilled metres. This parameter can be reset.
: Laser sensor activation (Refer to chapter “Options”, section “Laser sensor

(Option)”)
Basic conditions for measurement:

The system must be calibrated by passing sensor B104 at a maximum speed of 4 m/min.
If the system is not calibrated, an amber warning icon will be shown on the display and the
system will not measure the length/depth.
Correct length of drill steel must be choose in the drill steel menu
The length measurement system must be reset before the start of drilling.
Impact must be activated for measuring hole length/depth. Bit position will be measured
even without impact, if the drill strings are still attached.
Pulses must be generated from B172 and received by I/O module contact X4.
65
Length measurement
Conditions for blocking:

Upper drill steel support closed.
Percussion stopped.
Unthreading activated.
Note: These three parameters must be fulfilled to reach standby mode. If the parameters are not met
and the rock drill is raised to add a drill steel, the measurement will be incorrect.
Conditions for restarting measurement after rod change:

Upper drill steel support opened.
Percussion activated.
The cradle must be retracting to the upper position – 90% of the length for the chosen rod.

RHS, rod handling system

General
The functions for the various rod handling movements are controlled manually with the left-hand drill
lever on the remote control box. All actuation signals go via the PLC out to the appropriate valve for
RHS functions (see figure below). There are a number of sensors on the feed beam that then detect the
activities in the system and send signals to the PLC. (See the explanation of how the sensors work at
the end of this chapter.)

The RHS block is designed to cope with pressures up to 250 bar. Therefore, the block does not require a
pressure limiting valve. There is however a separate pressure limiting valve that limits the maximum
pressure to the RHS arm as well as a pressure control valve for the suction hood and one for the gripper
function. (See hydraulic diagram)

The RHS cylinders are controlled by solenoid valves Y301A and Y301B. Y301A moves the RHS arm
to the carousel and Y301B moves the arm to drill centre. There is a pressure control valve that limits
the maximum pressure to 170 bar, and, as for carousel rotation, there are two throttle valves that
control cylinder speed. Sensors (B118 and B120) sense if the RHS arm is in carousel or drill centre
position. Sensor B120 senses whether the arm is at drill centre and sensor B118 whether the arm is by
the carousel.

Here follows a short explanation of how the sensors act on D-01 RRC:
B104 is a calibration sensor that senses the

position of the rock drill cradle. This has a
fixed value and can only calibrate in the
downward direction.
B118 senses when the rod handing arm is in

the carousel. This sensor must be activated to B316
enable percussion during drilling.
B127
B122 is activated when the rock drill cradle
is in position for a drill steel to be connected
in the drill steel support. This sensor prevents B172
the rock drill cradle hitting the drill steel
B126
support when the drill string is removed. It
also Control the automatic rattling sequence.

in position to go into the carousel.

is in its top position on the feed beam. This is
H323
the position for moving a new drill steel from
the carousel to drill centre. Primarily used
during drilling.
B172 is located on a coil connected to a

wire that in turn is connected to the rock drill
cradle. The sensor sends a number of pulse H322
signals (48 pulses) for each rotation of the
coil. This provides information on where the B118
rock drill cradle is on the feed beam.
B182 is activated when the carousel has

rotated towards the grippers (anticlockwise)
and has stopped in the correct position for
the removal of a drill steel to drill centre. B122
B182
B183
B183 is activated when the carousel has
rotated away from the grippers (clockwise)
and has stopped in the correct position for
the return of a new drill steel from drill
centre to the carousel.
B316 is a laser sensor.
D171 is the angle sensor on the feed beam.

The watermist system is used to stabilize the drill hole when drilling through loose and porous rock by
adding water to the flushing air. In general, a small amount of water is use to wet the drill cuttings and
bind these into larger particles to reduce dust, or to bind the dust to the hole walls to stabilize the hole.
The amount of water is controlled by the two directional valves and an adjustable damper as follows:
Full water flow is used only for short intervals to flush water onto dry clay to build sludge that can
be used for stabilizing the hole. Both directional valves, Y112A and Y112B, are open.
The watermist system: When directional valve Y112A is open and Y112B is closed, the amount of
water is controlled by an adjustable throttle valve (see figure).
OFF: Both directional valves, Y112A and Y112B, are closed.

Winch (Option)
The winch’s hydraulic circuit includes functions for reeling in and out the cable, regulating the pulling
force of the winch and release of the winch brake and plunger. The block comprises solenoid valve
Y209 (controls brake disc release), Y215 (for variable winch force), Y224 (controls the winch
plunger), two pressure relief valves that limit the maximum pressure (125 bar), a remote-controlled
proportional pressure relief valve (Y214) for controlling the pulling force, and Y208A and Y208B

Solenoid valves Y208A and brake release valve Y209 are activated simultaneously when the
tramming lever on the remote control box is operated (forward or backward). Valve Y215 is also
activated for tramming with the winch. A counter pressure builds up (manually set on Y214 + spring
force) that helps open pressure relief valve (A) to the tank. The pressure is then determined by the
remote controlled proportional pressure relief valve (Y214). This relief valve is adjusted manually
with the potentiometer (R106) on the remote control box.

Extraction unit (Option)

The extractor unit is used when the rock conditions vary a lot and there is a large risk of jamming. The
function of the extractor unit is to provide reverse percussion to the shank adapter and thus the drill
sting and drill bit. This is achieved using a special extractor piston. The shank adapter for rock drills
equipped with an extractor unit has a special flange that receives the reverse percussion force. Since
the shank adapter is pressed into the rock drill by the feed force during normal drilling, it works
without the flange meeting the extractor piston.
Conditions for extractor unit:

24V-On RRC On
Percussion must be active (see drilling section)
For the extractor unit to be activated, the conditions stated above must be fulfilled. When there is a
risk of jamming, activate drill feed backward. The pilot pressure activates valve QDS-L and the pump
pressure is led via a throttle valve (ø2.0) that alters the pressure, and then on to the extractor unit. (See
figure)

Function
The drill steel threads are lubricated with two brushes (A) located on the lower part of the feed beam,
between the carousel and drill steel support. The drill steel passes these prior to threading.

c RIG CONTROL SYS TEM
The grease is supplied by a pump placed in the front of the wagon frame. The pump is powered by
compressed air from the rig’s compressor and controlled through solenoid valve Y552.
Activation of Y552 can be done either automatically or manually and is controlled by the switch S449
on the diesel panel.
Operation
Under normal conditions, the system operates automatically. The
lubricant pump is activated when the rod handling process is in
position to move a drill steel to drill centre (tight grip). The result is
that every time a drill steel is removed from the carousel, a quantity
of lubricant is pumped into the brushes that the threads of the drill
steel pass through.
If further lubrication is required, the system can be operated
manually. In such a case, the lubricant pump is activated so long as
the switch S449 is kept in position (a).
If thread lubrication is not required, the system can be switched off
by putting switch S449 in position (c).
The maximum pressure to the pump is adjusted to 7.5 bars by the

pressure regulator 3. (See right figure) The system can be switched off
by blocking the air supply with ball cock valve 8 or by the electrical
switch on the diesel panel.
We recommend the use of Atlas Copco Secoroc thread lubricant A for

the lubrication of drill steel threads.

The laser sensor (B316) on the rock drill cradle sends input signals via I/O module X2:10 (X1:409)
which are processed by the main display to be able to present the correct hold length/depth.
The laser sensor is most often used in undulating terrain to maintain as level a hole bottom as possible
for blasting.

Ex:
A rotary laser is placed at the highest point in the area. From here, the depth to hole bottom is
measured (in this case 10 m). When the rotary laser hits the sensor (B316) on the rock drill cradle, the
length between the sensor and drill bit (in this case 4 m) is automatically shown on the display,
irrespective of how many metres have been drilled. This is done every time the hole depth is reset. In
this case, we know that there are 6 metres left to hole bottom (10-4=6 m).

Move to the end position for the sector.
Press + or - until the desired rapid speed for the function is attained.
Note: The relationship between the min and max speed is linear. It is therefore vital to find the very
beginning of the sector (min speed).
Adjustable parameters, DCT times and rattling time

Pulse duration - length of the pulse, i.e. the signal time
Pause time - time between pulses
Clearing time - total time of the clearing cycle.
To adjust the times listed above, adjustment mode for these must be activated.
Pre-conditions for adjustment mode:

1. Activate winch mode with switch S172.
2. Activate adjustment mode with switch S130.
3. Press and hold button S465. Note: This must be done before adjusting

Fault diagnosis program for RRC/PLC system

A computer can be connected to the receiver via a RS232 cable to read out the RS232 data protocol. It
may sometimes be difficult to link a problem with a faulty switch/potentiometer or PLC output relay.
The computer shows the status of switches, buttons, levers, joysticks and radio communication. The
program does not handle problems associated with missing EEPROM conditions.
Note: The hyperlink and RS232 software must be installed on the computer.
Link with receiver via RS232 protocol

The main electrical switch must be On (electrical supply to receiver).
The transmitter must be on (communication between the receiver and transmitter is OK).
Connect the computer to the RS232 cable (PLC side) with a data cable.
Open the hyperlink program and select “Disconnect” on the selector.
Disconnect the data cable from the COM port on the computer.
Open the RS232 program and select “Connect”.
Connect the data cable to the computer’s COM port.
The computer can now read the RS232 protocol.
84
Description of function
The status of digital functions (On/Off) is shown as “On” or “Off”. “On” means the switch is activated
and “Off” that it is inactivated.
The status of levers/joysticks is shown on-screen with the value of the specific potentiometers. The
value is in the range 0-255. 0 is when the lever is in neutral (0V) and 255 when the lever is in its end
position (2V).
S260/S261 is equipped with three potentiometers per joystick.
X +/- (+ is right and – is left)

Y +/- ( + is forward and - is backward)
Z +/- ( + is right turn and - is left turn)
S174/S175- the left and right tramming controls have one potentiometer per control.
85
Only one signal per potentiometer is provided. This signal controls two functions. The system limits
the true signal with another signal from a directional switch (same switch that triggers SI2 lamp).
The status of the directional switch is displayed as OFF when it is open (inactivated) and ON when it
is closed (activated).
To get a digital function (PLC output) that is controlled by a joystick/lever, the analogue value (0-255)
must agree according to the PLC program. When the value is OK for the PLC, the RS232 program
responds by setting an ON in the column for that function.
Ex. The “arm to carousel” function requires a value greater than 225. When the left-hand joystick
enters the sector that generates 225, the RS232 program sets ON in the column.
