Safety Guidelines

Before Operation
• Do study this manual and fully understand the controls.
• Do be sure all safety guards are securely in place and all access doors are closed and locked.
• Do wear safety helmet, glasses and hearing protection when operating or working on machine.
• Do be sure all personnel are clear of the machine and work area before starting the engine or oper-
ating machine.
• Do be sure drill area is clear of all obstructions before operating and know the size limitations of the
machine.
• Do attach safety chain when using towbar.
• Do Not operate machine with:
• A hydraulic leak
• Broken or damaged electrical wiring
• Damaged hydraulic hoses or f ttings
Operation
• Do provide suff cient ventilation when running the engine in an enclosed area. Exhaust gasses
contain carbon monoxide, a deadly poison, which is colorless and odorless.
• Do make sure the drill pipe is secured in the loader before raising or lowering the mast, if your
machine is equipped with a drill pipe loader.
• Do make sure the mast lock pins are engaged in the mast base before starting drilling operations.
• Do examine the surface before drilling to determine the possible presence of unf red explosives.
• Do use PPE (personal protection equipment) appropriate for the conditions you are working in; e.g.
safety helmet, safety glasses, hearing protection, gloves, respirator.
• Do Not wear jewelry or loose f tting clothing when working on machinery. Keep clothing, hands
and hair clear of moving parts.
• Do Not drill into or near a "bootleg" hole or any hole that may contain explosives.
• Do Not use the machine for any other purpose than what it was designed for. This machine is de-
signed for rotary blasthole drilling operations only.
• Do Not travel on steep inclines soft or unstable ground or close to unsupported excavations.
• Do Not move machine if drill is in a potentially unstable position.

After Operation
Normal Shut Down
1. Be sure machine is on solid level ground. Lower jacks, so the jack pads just touch the ground, but
do not lift machine up.
2. Be sure all controls are in the OFF or NEUTRAL position.
3. Allow engine to idle for a minimum of f ve (5) minutes before stopping.
4. Turn the ignition key to OFF position.
5. Check machine for any unusual conditions.
6. Report any defects to your immediate supervisor.

1-6 Safety
Safety Guidelines

Maintenance
• Do be sure two people are present when performing service work, both being fully trained on the
safety issues. One person shall supervise from the operator's position and have immediate access
to an emergency stop in all situations. Visual, audible or verbal communication signals must be
established and understood by both persons.
• Do be sure each person is adequately trained to perform service and maintenance procedures.
• Do place a warning tag on starting controls to alert personnel that someone is working on the ma-
chine and disconnect battery before making repairs or adjustments to machine.
• Do be sure you have adequate lighting when performing service work at night.
• Do relieve pressure on hydraulic or pneumatic systems before loosening connections or parts.
• Do be sure machine and components are well supported before servicing or replacing parts.
• Do maintain a metal-to-metal contact between the f ll nozzle and fuel tank when f lling the fuel tank.
This will prevent sparks and the possibility of an explosion.
• Do Not hammer bit or drill pipe. Use only proper tools to make repair or adjustments.
• Do Not weld or grind near oil lines.
• Do Not attempt to remove radiator cap when engine is hot or has overheated.
• Do Not smoke or use an open f ame near batteries, when servicing the batteries. Batteries can
give off hydrogen which is a highly explosive gas.
• Do Not leave tools or other loose objects on the engine, drive mechanisms or drilling platform.
They could be thrown by this equipment with a powerful force.

Equipment Transfer
• If all or part of the equipment is shipped to a new destination, always include a complete instruction
manual or a copy of the following topics from the operator's manual:
• Safety Section
• Operation Instructions including:
• Pre-Start Checks
• Start-up
• After Start Checks
• Shutdown Procedure Clearances from High Voltage Lines

and judgement, ground conditions and proper preparation of ground surfaces, and
accelerations due to sudden change of direction or speed of movement, either from
operator input or ground conditions on which machines are operating.

Machines are typically much more stable operating with the mast down anytime a
machine is operating on rough ground conditions, significant slopes, or there is any
doubt about the machine stability or its ability to be operated safely in the conditions

Mast Removal and Installation


Generally, when transporting the machine, it will be necessary to remove the mast and ship it on a
separate truck, due to weight and height restrictions. Follow the steps outlined below for removal and
installation.
BE SURE machine is on level and solid ground before performing any service proce-
dures.
BE SURE hydraulic and pneumatic systems are not pressurized before removing any
f ttings or connections.

Mast Removal

1. Remove drill pipe from mast (refer to "loading and unloading drill pipe" in Section 4) and swing
carousel all the way in.
2. Lower mast to horizontal position, so that mast is resting on mast support.
3. Shut down the machine and be sure pressure has been relieved before removing any connec-
tions or f ttings. Tag and remove all hydraulic, pneumatic and grease lines to the mast. Use
numbered or lettered caps and plugs to aid in reassembly. Disconnect electrical plug from mast
valve bank.
If using one crane for lifting the mast, the lifting slings should be positioned at about a
NOTE
45o angle from the mast.

4. Attach four (4) steel cable lifting slings to the mast at the lifting points (f g. 6-1). Use a crane
capable of supporting the weight of the mast and able to lift the mast high enough to clear the
height of the machine (refer to machine specif cations on previous pages). Attach two guide
ropes to mast to control swinging of mast.
5. Remove the two capscrews that secure the mast pivot lug cap and remove cap from each side
of mast (f g. 6-1).
6. Support the mast cylinders to prevent movement after the cylinder pins are removed. Raise the
mast slightly to take weight off the mast cylinder pins and remove the cotter pins and cylinder
pins from mast.

Keep all personnel clear of mast when lifting. Do not allow anyone under mast when
lifting.

7. Lift mast clear of machine and tram machine out from under mast. Position trailer under mast
and lower mast onto trailer and secure for transport (refer to loading and unloading proce-
dures).
8. Using a suitable lifting device lean the mast cylinders forward and secure to the "A" Frame if
the machine is being transported.

Lub = 2360 Ft. Lbs. (3200 Nm)

NOTE If using one crane for lifting the mast, the lifting slings should be positioned at about a
45o angle from the mast.
1. Attach four (4) steel cable lifting slings to the mast at the lifting points (f g. 6-1). Use a crane
capable of supporting the weight of the mast and able to lift the mast high enough to clear the
height of the machine (refer to machine specif cations on previous pages). Attach two guide
ropes to mast to control swinging of mast.
2. Be sure area of mast installation is level and ground is solid. Apply a coat of grease to the mast
pivot bushings. Position machine under mast and carefully lower mast, aligning the mast pivot
lugs with the pivot bushings on the "A" Frame. Mast should be resting on the pivot bushings
and the mast rest at the front of the machine.
3. Position the mast lift cylinders to line up with the holes in the mast. The mast may have to be
lifted slightly to align the holes. Install pins, washers and cotter pins.
4. Install the pivot lug caps with capscrews and washers. Torque as noted above.
5. Connect all hoses, by matching the numbered or lettered caps and plugs. Be sure all grease
lines are installed (if used). Connect electrical connection to mast valve bank. Be sure all con-
nections are tight. Start machine and check for any leaks.

General Service Information


System should be thoroughly serviced before and after the cooling system. Breakdown maintenance is
invariably more expensive, extensive and is not carried out to the same level as preventive maintenance.
This can lead to more problems down the line.

Compressor Oil Level


It is not necessary to frequently check or change the compressor oil. However, it may be necessary to
replenish or replace the compressor oil in the following cases:
1. Whenever the compressor, evaporator, condenser or receiver-drier is replaced.
2. Whenever the refrigerant has leaked from the system.
3. Whenever the refrigerant is suddenly released from the cooling cycle.
4. Whenever any oil-related problems occur in the cooling cycle.
Follow the component manufacturer's recommended procedures for repairs or replacements to the sys-
tem.

Lubricant Specif cations

Engine Oil (Caterpillar)


Caterpillar Diesel Engine Oil (DEO) is the preferred oil for use in Caterpillar engines. If Caterpillar DEO
multigrade is not used, use only commercial oils that meet the following classif cations.

• API CH-4 multigrade oils and API CI-4 multigrade oils are acceptable if the requirements of Cat-
erpillar's ECF-1 (Engine Crankcase Fluid-1 specif cation) are met. API CH-4 oils and API CI-4 oils
that have not met the requirements of ECF-1 specif cation may cause reduced engine life.
• API CG-4 multigrade oils are acceptable for all Caterpillar diesel engines. When API CG-4 oils are
used, the oil drain interval should not exceed the standard oil drain interval for your engine.

• Check oil level each shift. The level is checked at the upper
sight glass with machine leveled. To check the oil level, the
machine must be shut down long enough to permit oil foam
to settle or check before start-up at the beginning of the
shift. Oil level should cover the lower sight glass and be at
the center of the upper sight glass (f g. 4-1).
• Change oil after f rst 50 hours, then change oil as
specif ed. Consult your dealer for specif c
recommendations if extremely severe duty is
encountered.

Auto Lube System

Auto Lube
The machine can be provided with an optional auto lube system which consists of an air powered
pump assembly f tted to a grease container. The pump supplies grease under pressure to manifolds
containing injectors which supply grease to points required. A f lter/regulator/lubricator supplies 60 PSI
(4.1 bar) to the pump.
The system is controlled by the Drill PLC System. The system will verify delivery of lubricant into a bear-
ing and also controls the lubrication system.
In most cases, the lubrication points in the following table are connected to the auto lube system or will
be connected to lubrication lines from a remote lube bulkhead.
The operator must check all lube points daily to ensure an adequate
supply of grease is available to each.

4-12 Pre-Start Checks and Lubrication


Preventive Maintenance

In order for an operator to be sure his drill is ready for operation at any time, a regular program of preven-
tive maintenance should be adopted. It is recommended that such a maintenance program be established
on the basis of the operator and/or maintenance personnel performing specif c maintenance work during
various periods of equipment operations, at intervals during which the equipment will be idle, and during
extended periods of time when the equipment will be in storage.

When the drill is in continual, daily use, it is further recommended that a program of daily service re-
quirements be established with preventive maintenance being performed on a "before operation", "during
operation", and "after operation" schedule.

NOTE For additional preventive maintenance information, refer to vendor manuals provided
in the drill Service Manual.

Hydraulic System Maintenance


The hydraulic components of the drill are built for many years of
trouble-free operation. Only one preventive maintenance step is neces-
sary to ensure the expected life of the system—CLEANLINESS.

When dirty f lters are indicated, change the f lter as follows:


• Clean the area around the f lter covers to prevent dirt entering

Preventative Maintenance

Extended Machine Shutdown


If machine is to be shut down for a long period of time (more than 30 days), there are certain precautions
that should be followed to minimize the possibility of damage to the machine.

1. Position the machine in a safe place on level and solid ground. Do not park close to a high wall where
the machine would be in danger of rock fall or slides. Do not park in an area prone to f ooding. Extend
the jacks to contact the ground, but the tracks should also be in contact with ground.
2. If freezing temperatures are expected, be sure cooling system has adequate anti-freeze to protect
system from freezing temperatures.
3. Check all f uid levels, keep fuel tank full to avoid condensation.
4. Follow pre-start checks in section 4 before starting machine. Make walk around inspection of ma-
chine.
5. Start the machine at least once per month. Allow system to warm up and cycle all hydraulic cylin-
ders to their full stroke and back. Follow proper shutdown procedures, allowing engine to idle for at
least f ve minutes before shutdown.

Service Center
Oil f ll and evacuation facilities are provided through the Wiggins service center (f g. 4-11) located at the
front corner of the machine. Fill and drain points provided in the service center are optional. Oil evacuation
from the Rotary Head and Final Drive gearboxes are from the components themselves. The fuel f ll point
is also located at the service center. A sight gauge gives indication of fuel level in percentage.

The service center provides connections for servicing and evacuating the following points (not all points
on all machines):

• Engine oil
• Engine oil reserve
• Engine coolant
• Hydraulic oil
• Compressor oil
• Pump Drive oil
• Fuel

Preventative Maintenance

Bolted Joint Maintenance for Rotary Drills

Introduction
To properly maintain bolted joints, some technical understanding of threaded fasteners will be helpful.
Threaded fasteners are often taken for granted and are seldom viewed as the highly engineered items
that they are. Their proper selection and proper joint design are critical to ensure structures and machine
elements perform as intended. This is a detailed subject and what is intended here, is to present a few
highlights to assist with good maintenance practices for rotary drills. This guide is not all inclusive.

Proper Bolt Tension


Proper “Preload” or residual tension in a tightened bolt means more to assembly strength than actual
bolt strength. In a bolted joint, a bolt torqued to its proper load level can resist a maximum amount of
external load without loosening. Ensuring that the intended preload is achieved and maintained is the
objective of this guide.
These rotary drills typically use SAE guidelines which are commonly recognized throughout most
industries, for non-permanent connections. All bolted joints in the drills are non-permanent joints
(bolted joints of a bridge or building structure would be considered permanent joints.) Standard
SAE torque specif cations for bolt tensioning recommends that bolts be pre-tensioned to 75% of
yield strength or “Proof Load.” Bolts torqued to this level are reusable if in good condition otherwise.
There are a couple of exceptions in these drills where bolts are tightened beyond this value, and these
will be identif ed. See the following chart for recommended torque values for different bolt sizes.

Reasons Properly Tensioned Bolts Loose Their Preload and Require


Maintenance
• Surface Degradation
Surfaces under bolt heads can degrade due to creep failure, embedment, high bearing stress,
corrosion or a combination of these. These rotary drills use hardened washers in many situations to
help prevent surfaces from degrading. Critical joints may use “Nordlock” washers which are a
hardened, zinc coated, two-piece serrated washer incorporating inclined planes at the mating
boundary of the two pieces. To loosen a bolt using this locking device, the bolt must be signif cantly
stretched. Critical bolted joints are identif ed in the “Critical Fastener ID and Inspection Schedule”
drawing in this manual. Joints that are assembled with Nordlock washers and hardened washers are
less likely to experience surface degradation, as the hardness of the washer is close to the hardness
of the fastener and is harder than the surface of most nuts used in these drill assemblies.
• Corrosion
Most critical bolted joints on these rotary drills contain components that are made from steel.
Most bolts used are also steel, and therefore susceptible to rusting. Water is a small molecule and can
f nd its way into the smallest spaces to attack the surfaces of a bolted joint and the bolt head, body and
threads. We recommend that all critical fasteners be lubricated using a lubricant that contains
Molybdenum Disulf de (NLGI 2 Molycoat or Never-Seize are readily available Worldwide. Good quality
NLGI 2 grease can be substituted if a Moly product is not available at the time of service.)Bolted Joint
• Vibratory Overload
Abusive, unusual or unforeseen loads can cause bolted joint separation. This can result in the loosening
of bolts, which in turn can cause bolt fatigue failure. Bolt fatigue will generally result in a fracture surface
and ultimately failure at the f rst engaged thread of the bolt or sometimes in the f llet under the bolt head.
Loose bolts can also fail quickly in fatigue. As an example, tests conducted by a bolt manufacturer
indicated that a bolt tightened to 1420 lb tension and stressed cyclically to 9215 lb failed after 5960
Preventative Maintenance

Bolted Joint Maintenance for Rotary Drills (cont.)

load cycles. Identical bolts tightened to 8420 lb and stressed to the same 9215 lb survived 4.65 million
cycles before failure. If the bolts had been tightened beyond 9215 lb, it would have been impractical to
cycle them to failure.
• Thermal Relaxation
Bolted joints exposed to high temperatures or thermal cycling have a tendency relax or lose bolt ten-
sion over time, due to stress creep. Since pre-loading stretches bolts, and only stretches them a few
thousandths of an inch. It is easy to imagine that a bolt heated to the operating temperature limits
of an air compressor could increase the plasticity of the bolt material, allowing it to lose some of its
initial loading. Bolted joints of a new machine that are subjected to high heat should be checked and
re-torqued to specif cation after the f rst 500 hours of operation.

Critical Bolted Joint Maintenance


Critical bolted joints are those joints which hold major structures together or hold overhead loads.
Failure of these joints could endanger personnel or seriously damage equipment. As stated earlier,
these are identified in Figure 2. Caterpillar Drills recommends that critical bolted joints of drills should
be checked for proper torque every 120 days or 2000 operating hours for machines that have
less than 10,000 operating hours, and every 90 days or 1500 operating hours for machines that
have greater than 10,000 operating hours. If a bolt is found to be loose (less than 90% of specified
torque value), it should be removed and replaced. If the joint contains more than one bolt, all bolts in
the joint should be replaced. The joint mating surfaces and bolts should be inspected for signs of
corrosion, surface degradation, and the presence of hardened washers or Nordlock washers. Joints
with Nordlock washers require the replacement of the washers as well. Hardened washers can
generally be reused as long as the washer is undamaged. The new bolts should be lubricated with
NLGI2 moly coat grease and torqued to the proper specification. Bolts should be replaced with the
same grade bolt that was originally in the assembly. Cat Drills primarily use Grade 8 bolts. These
are identified by the markings on the head of the bolt. Chart #1 graphically depicts the standard
identifying bolt markings.

Bolts in critical joints should also be removed and replaced every 2.5 years or 15,000 hours of
operation, regardless of apparent condition.

Other Bolt Maintenance


All bolts contained in these drills are subject to the same topics described above, but generally do not
have the same degree of risk involved should a bolt failure occur. Every machine should have a “walk-
around” inspection performed at the beginning of each operating shift, which includes looking for loose
hardware. Other signif cant bolted joints include all pressurized f ttings, f ange connections and all bolted
pin retainer/keeper plate bolts. All machine bolts should be inspected for proper torque specif cation
annually at a minimum.

Fire Suppression System

Description
The machine can be equipped with an optional f re suppression system. The system is manually
activated by pushing a button located on one of the two actuators. The actuators are located in the
operator's cab (f g. 5-1) and on the front of the machine (f g. 5-2). The Operator must become familiar
with the location of these actuators.
In addition, there is a battery cut-off switch which automatically cuts off power to the machine when the
f re suppression system is activated.

NOTE At any time if any part of the f re suppression system is suspected of not being fully
operational or has suffered damage, it shall only be serviced by a professional f re
protection service.

Fig. 5-1 Actuator Mounted in Cab Fig. 5-2 Actuator Mounted on Front of Machine

Operation
When the system is activated, the f re suppression agent in three (3) tanks is released and discharged
through a series of nozzles, located in critical areas around the machine. At the same time, the battery
cut-off switch cuts off voltage to the machine.
After a f re, or accidental discharge, the system must be checked and serviced by a professional f re
protection service. In addition, the battery cut-off must be reset by relieving all pressure in the system
through the pressure relief valve and pushing the reset button on the cut-off valve.

5-2 Operating Instructions


Fire Suppression System

In Case of Fire
Locate the nearest actuator.
1. Turn ignition switch OFF if possible.
2. Pull ring pin and push red button on actuator.
3. Get away from machine and call for help.

After System Has Been Discharged


After a f re, or accidental discharge, the system must be checked and serviced by a professional f re
protection service.
• Be sure the f re is completely out and there are no "hot spots" before getting near the machine.
It's good idea to keep a portable f re extinguisher on hand ( see f re extinguisher specif cations on
previous page). When approaching the machine, have a f re extinguisher with you.
• Determine the cause of the f re and make necessary repairs, before putting machine back into
service.
• After discharge, and when it is safe to return to the machine, the battery cutoff valve needs to be
reset. This is done by f rst pulling the ring on the pressure relief valve (f g. 5-3) to relieve all pres-
sure in the system. When all pressure is relieved, push the reset button on the battery cutoff valve
IN. You will not be able to push the reset button in with pressure still in the system.

Start-Up Procedure

Before starting the machine, warn nearby members of the work crew that you are
starting the machine. DO NOT USE ETHER on engines equipped with air inlet heat-
ers.

To Start Engine:
1. Be sure all controls are in the Off or Neutral position.
2. Place the air control valve (10) or air control switch (39) in the start position for low pressure sys-
tems or low for high pressure systems. Some machines, use switch (39) in place of valve (10).
3. Place throttle lever (2) in low position.
4. Turn the ignition key (15) on.
5. Push and hold the engine start button (16) until the engine starts, when engine is started, release
start button. The engine pre-lube pump will operate for a few seconds before the starter cranks the
engine. Do not crank engine for more than 30 seconds, then allow starter to cool for two minutes
before attempting to start again.
6. If it is necessary to use the optional ether injection (17) for starting, use caution not to use too
much as engine damage can occur. Press button for 3 seconds and release, then allow 3 seconds
before starting engine. DO NOT USE ETHER on engines equipped with air inlet heaters.
DO NOT SPRAY ETHER into compressor inlet.

Start-Up Procedure

After-Start Checks
After start checks are carried out to ensure that the
machine is in a safe working condition before the operator
commences drilling procedures.

1. Check to ensure engine oil pressure is in normal


operating range (consult engine manual).
2. After system has warmed up, turn the compressor
Start-Run Valve or switch to Run for low pressure
machines or High for high pressure machines.
Check to ensure compressor air pressure is at
least 100 PSI (7 bar) for low pressure machines
or 300 PSI (21 bar) for high pressure machines.
Fig. 5-5 Operator's Control Panel–Left Side

Compressor air pressure must not exceed 100 PSI (7 bar) for low pressure machines, or
350 PSI (24 bar) for high pressure machines.

3. Check the compressor air temperature, hydraulic oil temperature and engine coolant tempera-
ture readouts. The drill should not be operated until the hydraulic oil temperature reaches 100oF
(37.8oC).
4. Let the engine warm up to 170oF (77oC) prior to activating full rpms. Perform a walk around inspec-
tion. Check entire machine for oil leaks and any abnormal engine noises.
5. Check all f lter indications at operating temperature.
6. Raise mast to vertical position. Lower rotary head to bottom of mast and check gearcase oil level in
sight glass.
7. Check rotation motors and head guide bolts and slides.
8. Grease swivel seal and shock sub (if f tted).

NOTE The shock sub only requires two pumps of grease with a hand held grease gun every
two days.

Ensure correct machine leveling and mast-raising procedures are followed (as outlined
in this section) prior to bringing the rotary head to the bottom of the mast.

Operating Instructions 5-5


Shutdown Procedure

DO NOT use the emergency STOP switch to stop the machine, except in an emergency.
Stopping the engine without the proper idle down period can cause engine damage.

To shutdown the machine, proceed as follows:


1. Fully retract the drill string from the drill hole.
2. Ensure the machine is in a safe position, parked in accordance with site procedures, and;
• On level and stable ground not too close to a high wall or free face;
• Away from areas that can obstruct movement of mine traff c;
• With mast either resting on supports or locked in vertical position by mast pin locks;
• With leveling jacks on the ground supporting the weight of the machine.
3. Ensure the air compressor is in the START conf guration. Place all controls in OFF or NEUTRAL.
4. Reduce engine speed to LOW idle. Allow the machine to idle for f ve (5) minutes before stopping.
5. Turn off air conditioning, any lights, radios and electronic equipment.
6. Turn ignition key to OFF.
7. When the engine stops, the air receiver will automatically "blow down." Do Not open the service
valve to dump air.
8. Check the air pressure gauge to ensure all air pressure has been relieved. Should there still be air
pressure in the system, open the manual blow down valve on the air receiver.
9. Inspect the machine for obvious damage or wear and report any unusual conditions to the immedi-
ate Supervisor.

BE SURE machine does not overheat. Observe hydraulic and water temperature gauges.

1. Start engine and warm up for 5 minutes or up to 170oF (77oC).


• Set the throttle at approximately 1600 RPM and lower all jack pads to the ground by operating
the rear and front jack control levers to the DOWN position.
• Operate rear right and rear left jack controls to DOWN position until rear of machine track is
clear of the ground and approximately level by watching level indicator (refer to Leveling Ma-
chine).
• Operate the front jack control to DOWN position, until front of machine track is clear of the
ground, approximately level.
2. Raise the mast.

LOOK UP before raising or lowering mast.


See Section 1 for Clearances from High Voltage Lines table.

ALWAYS level machine before raising or lowering mast and before drilling.

• Be sure the machine is level and solidly stabilized with all leveling jacks before attempting to
raise the mast.
•. Be absolutely sure that the mast will not come in contact with power lines, telephone lines or
any other obstructions.
• Be sure the winch lines, hydraulic hoses and air hoses are clear and that all equipment stowed
in the mast is secured.
• Place mast raising control lever in MAST UP position.
• As mast approaches the break-over point, reduce the speed of the mast to gently bring the
mast against the base of the drill.
• Engage mast locks.
• Set Drill/Propel switch to DRILL.

3. Hold rotation control to one-quarter and operate rotation in FORWARD position.

4. Work all hydraulic controls to distribute warming oil and to help elevate oil temperature. Pay par-
ticular attention to winch warm-up by cycling several times without load.
5. When hydraulic oil temperature reaches 100oF (37.8oC) the system is operational.

Compressor Warm-Up (Low Pressure)


1. Run machine with compressor in the START position until temperature reaches 160oF (71.1oC).
2. After warm-up, turn selector to RUN position.
3. Gradually increase engine speed to 1800 RPM. Compressor pressure should read 100 PSI (6.9
bar) and temperature should be 160–200oF (71.1–93.3oC). Temperature should be monitored and
maintained by the air f ow direction through the cooler.

Compressor Warm-Up (High Pressure)


1. Run machine with compressor selector valve in the LOW position until temperature reaches 180oF
(82oC).
2. After warm-up, turn selector to HIGH position.
3. Place throttle lever (2) at full throttle position (2100 RPM). Compressor pressure should read 350
PSI (24.1 bar) and temperature should be 210oF (99oC). Temperature will be monitored and main-
tained by the thermostatic valve and compressor oil cooler.

Operating Instructions 5-9


Propelling Machine

ALWAYS propel the machine in reverse (towards operator's cab) where possible to pro-
vide maximum visibility, propel the machine slowly when working on slopes, ramps or
rough terrain. Be extremely careful when working around trenches or banks.

Propelling the machine across rough/undulating terrain or across grades should never
be carried out with the mast raised. The mast must be lowered prior to propelling over
rough ground.

• The machine should never be propelled over areas that could potentially collapse
or subside.
• Do not travel on steep slopes or crosswise to grades.
• Visually inspect the path to be taken.
• Adhere to all precautions relating to underground workings.
• Never tram through areas of soft unconsolidated materials holding water.
Failure to follow these recommendations could result in a machine roll over.

NOTE When propelling this machine, forward is towards the radiator end of the machine and
reverse is towards the operator's cab.

1. Select PROPEL mode with the Drill/Propel switch.


2. Engage left and right propel levers together slowly in the required
direction of travel. Propel speed is varied by the degree of travel,
forwards or backwards of the propel levers. To propel in a straight
line, the propel levers must be operated equally from the neutral
positions.
3. To turn the machine left or right, one propel lever may be engaged more than the other to make the
machine turn. For very tight turns one propel lever may be engaged to the full forward position and
the opposite lever engaged to the full reverse position.

Both tracks must be operated when propelling the machine. Never allow either track to
drag while propelling in a straight line or turning.

4. To stop propelling machine once at destination, move the propel levers back to the neutral position.
5. Place the Drill/Propel switch in the NEUTRAL position unless drilling is to commence.

If propelling on an incline or decline, the machine should always be trammed up or


down the slope where possible. Traveling across the grade should be avoided.

5-10 Operating Instructions


Propelling Machine

Propelling Up, Down and Across Grades

NOTE Refer to Section 2 for Transient Stability Limits.

1. The mast should always be lowered before propelling the machine down or across grades.
2. When propelling up or down a grade, index the pipe loader to a mid position, so drill pipes cannot
slide forward out of the carousel.
3. When propelling up or down a steep grade, the operator's cab should be facing downhill. With the
mast down, the front end of the machine is heavier than the rear (cab end). This makes the machine
more stable.
4. When propelling up a steep grade, a spotter should be used to guide you, as visibility is restricted to
the operator.
5. Always be careful when propelling machine across grades, as the machine is more unstable sideways
than it is lengthways. Propel with the operator's cab facing uphill when crossing grades whenever
possible.

Propelling Over Cables


1. Always use an approved crossing point, if one has been constructed. Always cross at right angles
and do not turn machine while crossing.

NEVER propel machine across electric cables. Severe personal injury or death could
occur, as well as property damage.

2. If no approved crossing point exists, then the following procedure should be used to cross electric
cables:
• Use a spotter as a guide. Approach the cable at 90o and stop machine when cable is between
the jack pads and the tracks.
• Carefully lower jacks, making sure the jack pads will not rest on the cable. Raise machine up
on the jacks until tracks are clear of the ground.
• Move cable under tracks until it is between the opposite end of the tracks and jack pads at the
other end of machine.
• Carefully lower machine, making sure cable is not under tracks and retract jacks fully before
continuing to propel machine.

Operating Instructions 5-11


Leveling Machine

Leveling the Machine for Drilling


NEVER ATTEMPT to commence drilling unless the machine has been leveled and is
supported by all four jacks on stable ground conditions. Machine can turn over, caus-
ing serious injury or death.

DO NOT position jacks on cribbing or timber bridging.

DO NOT position machine close to a highwall.

ALWAYS extend front (radiator end) jacks to equalize pressure in both front jacks
after re-leveling machine.

Raising Machine (lowering jacks)

When raising machine, level the rear (cab end) of the machine f rst, then level the front (radiator end).
Refer to leveling procedure that follows.

Lowering Machine (raising jacks)

When lowering machine, lower using front and rear jacks together, keeping jack pads close to the ground.
When tracks are on the ground and machine is stable, jacks may be raised fully. Refer to leveling procedure
on following page. The drill is equipped with jack retract indication on the drill monitor.

Leveling Procedure
When leveling or “setting up” the drill, there are two things to remember:

• Distribute the weight evenly on the jacks


• Keep the machine as close to the ground as possible

Good leveling techniques require an understanding of the jack design of the machine and how they
operate. There are four jacks. The two rear jacks (drill end) are independently controlled; that is, there is a
controller for each one. The front jacks operate in parallel, both operate from one controller.

The operator will need to use the front jack function as the last step in the jacking procedure to ensure
the torsional stress in the chassis is minimized as the pressure is equalized in the front jacks.

In Ideal situations, lower the rear jacks to the ground and level side to side, then lower the front jacks
to level front to back.

ALWAYS keep the machine as low to the ground as possible when leveling the ma-
chine. This machine has safety check valves in the leveling system to prevent the
jacks from moving in the case of a power failure. Should it be noticed that the jacks
are creeping, the machine should not be operated and repairs completed immediately.
Failure to follow these instructions could lead to serious personal injury or equipment
damage.

5-12 Operating Instructions


Leveling Machine

Leveling Procedure (cont.)


When addressing slopes, the machine should be aligned with the rear of the machine facing up the
slope and the cab on the high side.

The machine must then be leveled from the lowest point f rst; and quite often the need to use two control-
lers at the same time will be necessary to evenly distribute the weight of the machine on the jacks as the
machine is being raised. This is to prevent the jack casing binding up from friction created from the twist in
the chassis, and leaving the highest point jack until last allowing the machine to be supported by all jacks
and still be as close as possible to the ground.

Lowering the Machine

Use all three controllers together to raise the jacks; this will allow the machine to stabilize as it comes
in contact with the ground. Hold each controller ON until the relevant jack is fully retracted.

Re-Leveling Machine
If machine needs to be re-leveled after it is already on all four jacks:
• FIRST level rear (cab end) of machine.
• ALWAYS extend front (radiator end) jacks to equalize pressure in both front jacks
after re-leveling machine.

If machine has been leveled and is up on all four jacks and the machine needs to be re-leveled, use the
following procedure:

1. Level the rear (cab end) of the machine f rst using rear jack levers.
2. Level the front (radiator end) of the machine using front jacks lever even if it appears level. This
must be done to equalize the hydraulic pressure to the front jacks.

Operating Instructions 5-13


Raising Mast

LOOK UP before raising or lowering mast. Operating near, or coming in contact with
electrical power lines will result in serious personal injury or death.
Refer to the Clearances from High Voltage Lines chart below.

ALWAYS check that the deck area is clear of dirt and obstructions before raising the
mast.

ALWAYS level machine before raising or lowering mast and before drilling. Make sure
tracks are always raised from the ground.

Clearances from High Voltage Lines


Line Voltage Minimum Clearance
0 to 50 kv 10 ft (3 m)
50 to 200 kv 15 ft (4.6 m)
200 to 350 kv 20 ft (6.1 m)
350 to 500 kv 25 ft (7.6 m)
500 to 750 kv 35 ft (10.7 m)
750 to 1000 kv 45 ft (13.7 m)

1. Level the machine, using the Leveling Machine procedure previously outlined.
2. Check mast for loose drilling tools or parts.
3. Be sure mast lock pins are retracted and drill bit will clear work deck area.
4. Look up before raising mast. Be sure you are clear of any overhead obstructions and clear of any
power lines. Raise mast by engaging the mast lever to the RAISE position. The mast should start
to lift; if not, check the auxiliary hydraulic pressure gauge to see if any other functions are engaged.
5. As the mast approaches the vertical position, the mast raising speed will tend to increase. It is nec-
essary to slow the speed to stop the mast from hitting into the base of the machine too hard.
6. The mast angle may be set from 60o to the vertical depending on drilling applications. Use the
angle indicator on the mast to set the correct angles.
7. Once the mast has been set at the desired angle, lock the mast into position by switching the Mast
Lock/Unlock switch to the LOCK position.

NOTE Be sure to visually check to see that mast locking pins are fully engaged in the holes
in the mast lock brackets before drilling. Also be sure that the pins are fully retracted
before lowering the mast. Red or green LED indicators should also conf rm the visual
check, when equipped.

5-14 Operating Instructions


Lowering Mast

LOOK UP before raising or lowering mast. Operating near, or coming in contact with
electrical power lines will result in serious personal injury or death.
Refer to the Clearances from High Voltage Lines chart on previous page.

ALWAYS check that the deck area is clear of dirt and obstructions before raising the
mast.

ALWAYS level machine before raising or lowering mast and before drilling. Make sure
machine is supported by all four jacks.

1. Retract the drill string from the hole, ensuring that the drill bit will clear the work deck area.

NOTE If the drill pipe and drill bit are not above the Pipe in Hole Sensor, it will automatically
lock-out the mast and jack lever functions.

2. Rotate the drill pipe loader to the stored position.


3. Unlock the mast by pushing the Mast Lock/Unlock switch to the UNLOCK position.
4. Lower the mast by engaging the mast lever to the LOWER position, controlling the lowering speed
with the mast lever, in order that the mast gently comes to rest on the mast support.

Operating Instructions 5-15


Loading Drill Pipe

Ensure that the drill pipe to be loaded is the correct diameter and length to suit the car-
ousel to be loaded.

Load drill pipe using a crane whenever possible; this is the best and safest method. If
a crane is not available when drill pipe is being loaded, follow the procedure outlined
below.

Equipment Required

1. Service truck with service winch capable of lifting male end of pipe above the drilling platform of the
machine, front end loader or auxiliary crane mounted on rear deck of machine.
2. Adequate lifting straps.

Procedure

1. Be sure machine is on level and solid ground.


2. Check all pipe rack control functions to be sure they operate according to labels on control panel.
Switch hoses if necessary. Check f uid level in rotary gearbox.
3. Lift the male end of the pipe to approximately the height of the middle railing around the drilling
platform. Be sure pipe is secure and won't slip.
4. Raise mast to the same angle as pipe and back machine up to the pipe.
5. Apply grease to drill pipe threads and lower the rotary head until the top sub-adapter engages the
threads of the pipe. Thread the pipe all the way to the shoulder of the pipe and top sub-adapter.
6. Stabilize machine by lowering all four jacks to the ground. Machine does not have to be lifted off
the ground, but jack pads should be in solid contact with ground.
7. Raise the rotary head up the mast with the pipe, but do not let the pipe go above the deck bushing
in the mast base. Use the pipe support if you have an angle hole machine.
8. When the lower end of the drill pipe approaches the deck bushing, stop the rotary head and raise
the mast to the vertical position. Use the pipe rack controls to rack the pipe (refer to instructions on
Retracting Drill Pipe in this section).
9. Repeat steps 3–8 for the remaining pipe sections.

5-16 Operating Instructions


Preparing to Drill

Installing and Removing Drill Bit


Always use approved lifting equipment and methods to lift bits and equipment on and
off the drill deck and to lift drill bits out of bit baskets. Do not use a crane unless proper
training has been conducted on its use.

Before commencing this operation, ensure that the drill pipe is secured to the rotary
head and that the rotary head is in a secure stationary position.

THE DRILL PIPE MUST NOT BE ROTATING WHEN ANYONE IS ON THE DECK AND PER-
FORMING BIT CHANGING PROCEDURES. INJURY OR DEATH MAY OCCUR.

Before drilling can commence, drill bit sub and the drill bit must be installed as follows:
1. Remove the rotary deck bushing from the work deck and insert the drill bit breakout basket into the
work deck.
2. Place the drill bit into the bit basket.
3. Place the bit sub onto the drill bit and make-up thread joint "hand" tight.
4. Engage the drill pipe to the bit sub and rotate drill pipe clockwise slowly until the thread joint be-
comes tight. Tighten thread joint to 3000 PSI (207 bar) on the rotary hydraulic pressure gauge.
5. For removal of drill bit, place bit breakout basket into the work deck.
6. Lower drill bit into the breakout basket and use the breakout wrench to break the thread joint.
7. Once thread joint is loose, simultaneously rotate drill pipe counterclockwise and slowly raise drill
pipe until the drill bit is unscrewed.

Shock Sub
If a shock (cushion) sub is used, be sure to follow manufacturer's recommended maintenance. Normally
this includes daily greasing (5 to 10 strokes with a hand grease gun).

Operating Instructions 5-17


Drilling Operations

ALWAYS level machine before raising or lowering mast and before drilling.
DO NOT operate machine when wind speed is above 75 MPH (120.8 Km/h).

Rotary Drilling
IMPORTANT: Become familiar with all the controls and their functions prior to any operation. Take it
slow at f rst and as the machine and drilling cycle become more familiar, the full operating capability of
the machine can be gradually achieved. The most important reason to operate slowly at f rst is safety.
Operating at full speed means that things happen very quickly. This unexpected operation of equipment
can very easily lead to an accident.

Once the drill pipe, bit sub, and drill bit have been coupled up, drilling operations are ready to commence.
The machine MUST be level and supported by all four jacks before mast is raised.

1. Lower the drill bit until it comes in contact with the ground.
2. Zero the Actual Depth and log the hole number on the drill monitor.
3. Turn on the drilling air by engaging the Drilling Air Control Switch to the ON position. Note the air
pressure registered on the Drilling Air Pressure Gauge on the drill monitor.
4. Start rotating the drill string forward "slowly" 30–40 RPM using Rotation Lever. Forward rotation is
clockwise.
5. Slowly lower the drill string using Hoist/Pulldown Lever until the hole is collared and the drill bit is
in solid ground. Collaring of the hole should be done slowly and carefully to ensure that the hole is
started straight. This will help avoid problems as the drill hole gets deeper.
6. Once the hole is collared, start increasing the pulldown pressure and rotation speed until a satisfac-
tory rate of penetration is achieved. Pulldown pressure and rotation speed will be dictated by the
type of ground being drilled. Then engage the Auto Pulldown Switch by pushing the switch to the
engage position, Refer to Section 6–Drilling Practices for more information.

NOTE Applying excessive weight or using too fast of rotation speed will result in premature
wear to all consumables.

7. Pulldown pressure and rotation speed must be continuously adjusted to suit the drilling conditions.
Monitor the rotation pressure and air pressure gauges for abnormal readings.

NOTE If the drilling air pressure rises higher than normal or the rotation pressure is higher
than normal, disengage the pulldown and lift the drill bit off the bottom of the hole
and allow the hole to clear, if necessary work the drill string up and down to assist in
cleaning the hole. Decrease the amount of pulldown if the drill bit or hole continues
to block up.

8. Switch on either the dust collector or water injection system. Engage Water Injection/Dust Collector
Switch–RIGHT for dust collector, LEFT for water injection. Adjust water f ow for water injection with
Flow Control Valve.

NOTE Do not use the dust collector if ground water is encountered.


Excessive water injection will reduce drill bit service life.

Rotary Drilling (cont.)


9. Drill down until the desired depth of the hole is reached, then disengage the Auto Pulldown Switch
and start raising the drill string out of the hole using the Hoist/Pulldown Lever. As the drill bit ap-
proaches the top of the hole, turn off the air and stop rotation with Rotation Lever. Lift the drill bit
clear of the ground, high enough to allow good clearance when moving to the next hole.

NOTE If depths of more than one drill pipe are required, follow the operating procedures for
multiple pass drilling.

Multiple Pass Drilling


When depths of more than one length of drill pipe are required, drill pipe from the drill pipe loader will
need to be used to continue drilling.

Adding Drill Pipe


1. Drill down until the rotary head stops at the bottom of the mast.
2. Disengage the pull-down system and slow rotation with the rotation lever.
3. Lift the drill string and align the tooling on the drill pipe with the deck wrench.
4. Stop rotation and extend deck wrench fully, ensuring there is enough room between top of tooling
f ats and top of deck wrench to allow the threads to unscrew without binding or falling too far.
5. Turn off drilling air control switch.
6. Using reverse rotation, break the thread joint and undo the threads slowly.
7. Apply thread grease to the drill pipe threads.
8. Raise the rotary head until head clear indicator changes to green.
9. Swing the drill pipe loader to load position.
10. Lower rotary head until light contact is made with drill pipe thread. Forward rotate slowly to make
up the joint, ensuring cross threading does not occur by watching drill pipe lift in carousel. Torque
joint up.

Carousel must be LOCKED to add/retract drill pipe.

11. Lift pipe clear of pot and align pipe tooling to allow pipe to be removed from carousel. Retract pipe
loader to parked position.
12. Lower pipe slowly until light contact is made with bottom pipe thread. Forward rotate slowly to
make up joint.
13. Reverse rotate to align tooling and retract deck wrench from pipe.
14. Turn drilling air on and re-commence drilling activity.

DO NOT allow drill pipe to drop in deep holes, thread damage will occur.

Operating Instructions 5-19


Drilling Operations

To Rotate Drill Pipe Loader


1. Switch the carousel locking pin to Index.
2. Index the carousel to the next position.
3. Switch the carousel locking pin to lock position.

DO NOT tighten threads or attempt to breakout with the carousel in Index position,
ensure the carousel locking pin is engaged.

ALWAYS torque the drill pipe joints in the pipe loader.

Retracting Drill Pipe

NEVER leave the machine unattended with drill pipe in the hole. Failure to follow these
procedures could result in damaged equipment.

1. Once the desired hole depth is reached, disengage the pull-down system and raise the rotary head
until the drill pipe thread joint is above the deck wrench.
2. Align the tooling on the lower drill pipe with the deck wrench, the top of the tooling should be ap-
proximately 2 inches above the deck wrench. Engage the deck wrench.
3. Turn off drilling air.
4. Using rotation control lever in reverse, allow the rotation pressure to increase until the drill pipe joint
breaks. A light slapping action is used to break the joint.
5. If the joint breaks at the top, re-tighten and use the HOBO to break the joint.
6. Unthread and align tooling f ats with carousel breakout plate.
7. Raise pipe to a position to enable pipe to clear carousel pot and breakout plate.
8. Swing pipe loader to load position.

DO NOT force carousel onto pipe.

9. Lower pipe into carousel then raise enough to un-thread pipe without binding. Reverse rotate and
unthread top thread.
10. Raise rotary head above head clear position.
11. Retract pipe loader to parked position.
12. Lower rotary head until light contact is made with lower thread. Forward rotate to tighten thread.
13. Reverse rotate to align tooling and retract deck wrench, (leave wrench covering deck bush).
14. Turn on drilling air and raise pipe to next joint or top of hole.

If the upper thread joint becomes loose before the lower joint, retighten the upper joint
and use the breakout wrench to loosen the lower joint.

DO NOT allow the upper drill pipe joint to unscrew unless positioned in the carousel.

ALWAYS make sure that all drill pipes have been removed from the hole before
attempting to lower the mast.

Cold Weather Operation

Description
For machines operating in arctic type conditions an optional cold weather package can be installed to
pre-heat f uids and lubricants. With the cold weather option, the machine can operate down to temperatures
of -40oF (-40oC).
The cold weather option includes the appropriate lubricants in the compressor, engine, hydraulic sys-
tem and gearboxes. See the Recommended Cold Weather Lubricants on the following page for lubricant
recommendations.
An optional diesel f red heater/pump unit, using fuel from the machine's diesel tank, circulates a wa-
ter/anti-freeze mixture through heat exchanger tubes located in the hydraulic tank, fuel tank, water tank,
radiator and engine block.
The heating system can also be powered by a generator (GenSet) mounted on the machine, or an external
power source, to provide 120 or 240 VAC to the system to thermostatically control heating elements and
silicone heating pads. A heater/controller supplies power to a distribution breaker box and pumps heated
water/anti-freeze through the engine block.
The heating elements for this type of system are installed in the hydraulic tank, fuel tank and engine while
the heating pads are installed in the compressor control box, receiver tank, auto lube grease container and
under the batteries in the battery tray.

Additional measures included for extreme cold protection are:

• Thermo-glass cab windows


• Additional heater in cab
• Spray-on insulating material under the cab, water and fuel tanks
• Cold weather wiring for AC/DC systems including low temperature conduit

There are no additional f uid additives required for cold weather operation.

NOTE When cold weather operation is specif ed, the options discussed above may be used
separately or in combination to suit a specif c operating environment.

Heater/Pump Unit

The heater/pump unit heats and circulates water


and anti-freeze through the engine, radiator, hydrau-
lic tank and fuel tank. Fig. 5-9 shows a typical instal-
lation. A 24VDC motor operates the water pump.

5-22 Operating Instructions


Cold Weather Operation

Relieve pressure on hydraulic and pneumatic systems before loosening connections or


parts.

Operation
The pre-heat system is energized prior to starting the machine in temperatures less than 32oF. (0oC)
by a switch located on the front of the operator console. Warm up periods are in relation to outside tem-
peratures, but normally suff cient warm up can be accomplished in approximately one hour prior to starting
machine.

If the machine is supplied by a GenSet, the GenSet is switched on to provide power for preheating. After
the GenSet warms up to operating temperature, the heater/controller is switched on and the Operator can
then select which system is to be energized via the distribution breaker box. Refer to the GenSet operating
manual in Section 10 of the Service Manual for operation and maintenance.

If the heater/controller is supplied power from an external source, the Operator plugs in the system and
then switches on the heater/controller.

Refer to the Espar repair manual for the Hydronic 30 compact heater in Section 10 of the Service Manual.
Order repair parts from Parts Manual for your specif c machine.

Cooling System Freeze Protection

In the late fall, before temperatures drop below 32oF. (0oC), the complete cooling system should be
drained and f ushed. The thermostat should be removed during f ushing. Check for proper operation or
replace before reinstalling. When ref lling, add a suff cient amount of anti-freeze for your climate. A 50/50
mixture is recommended for maximum protection

Water Injection System Freeze Protection

To blow water out of the lines and pump before shutting machine down, the following steps need to be
done with the machine in idle mode.

1. Turn the optional handle on the cab side crawler frame to open ball valve to drain water tank. After
water tank is drained, leave ball valve on bottom of water tank open until time to add water to tank,
then close valve.
2. After water tank is drained, open shut off valve on top of air receiver to release air into water
system. With the water injection switch in the cab in OFF position, this will blow water through the
pump and back to the tank. After 5 seconds, switch the water injection switch to ON. This will blow
water into the main air line.
3. Turn main air ON to blow water out of standpipe and drill pipe. Let run for about 15 seconds. At this
time all water is out of lines and pump.
4. Shut machine down. While the machine's air receiver is in blowdown mode, leave shut off valve on
top of air receiver open to blow into water injection system.
5. After air receiver has blown down, close shut off valve on top of air receiver to close line.
6. Before starting machine, prime the water pump by pouring water into the pipe nipple on suction
side of pump inlet.

Receiver Tank

Drain water from the receiver tank daily or whenever the machine is shut down for more than one
hour.

NOTE BE SURE to evacuate all the remaining water from the water injection pump to pre-
vent the pump from freezing.

5-2 Drilling Practices


Bit Weight & Rotary Speeds

Many variations in formation characteristics can affect the weight on bit and rotary speed requirements.
Field experience is the best guideline for determining the appropriate weight on bit and rotation speed
combination for a particular drilling operation. However, bit force and rotation speeds must be kept within
the safe and economic limits of the drill rig and drill string.
When calculating the pulldown force on the drill bit, the weights of the rotary head and drill string must be
included into the calculation, because when more drill pipes are added, the weight on the bit will increase
and in some cases it may be necessary to reduce the hydraulic pulldown force being supplied to avoid
blocking or damaging the drill bit.
Drill bit manufacturers suggest that a pulldown force of 3500–7000 pounds per inch of drill bit diameter
can be exerted to the drill bit in the right drilling conditions, however this is only a guideline and ground
conditions will dictate how much weight can be applied.

PULLDOWN FORCE CALCULATION

Bit Diameter = 7 7/8 in.


7.875 x 3500 = 23,600 Pounds Force
7.875 x 7000 = 55,125 Pounds Force

The Rotary Blasthole Drills utilize hydraulic pressure to exert pulldown force on the drill bit; this pres-
sure is indicated on the pulldown system pressure gauge. However, the pressure readings on this gauge
indicate hydraulic pressure only and must be converted into actual Weight on Bit (pounds force) per square
inch of drill bit diameter.

Do not compare or use the same hydraulic pressure settings when using different drill rigs as the weight
or hydraulic pressure may vary. In most cases the hydraulic pressures on varying drill rigs will indicate
different weights on the drill bit.

Laboratory experiments have shown that uniform rock formations, when drilled with rotary drill bits react
as follows:
1. Penetration rate is at least directly proportional to the weight on bit.
2. Penetration rate is directly proportional to the rotary speed.
In principal, the faster that we could rotate and the more weight we put on the drill bit, the higher the rate
of penetration. Although in actual drilling practices it is important to note that the many variations in forma-
tion characteristics, drill bit condition and chip removal affect the rate of penetration, therefore statements
1 and 2 must only serve as a guideline.

In soft, easily drilled formations, the use of high pulldown pressures are restricted due to the drill bit's
tendency to "Ball Up" thereby reducing its eff ciency. However, it is usually possible to offset the reduction
in pulldown force by increasing the rotary speed. The danger of bit damage is reduced in low strength
formations.

The extent to which the rotary speed can be increased is limited by the presence of abrasive properties
and the ability to clear the cuttings immediately from the bit face, which would prematurely erode the cutting
structure or bit bearings under excessive rotary speeds.

Drilling Practices 5-3


Bit Weight & Rotary Speeds

In hard formations, it is necessary to use higher pulldown pressures to overcome the compressive
strength of the rock formation. The operation of tri-cone roller bits in hard rock is complicated by the sliding
and skipping of the bit cutters as the rock breaks away unevenly. Failure to get complete clearing of the
drill cuttings becomes a larger problem when high rotation speeds are used. The use of excessive rota-
tion speeds can cause increased abrasive wear and create shock loads too great for the drill bit, pipe and
drill rig. Therefore, there may be little advantage in increasing rotary speeds above recommended levels.
Smooth vibration free drilling produces holes most eff ciently and possible gains from high rotation speeds
may need to be sacrif ced to get a constant rate of penetration and economical bit life.

0–110 RPM = High Torque Rotation

0–150 RPM = Low Torque Rotation

5-4 Drilling Practices


Rotary Drill Bits

The two main bit types available for rotary blast hole drilling are:
1. Drag or Blade Bits
2. Tri-Cone Roller Bits

Rotary drill bits operate using a combination of two forces:


1. Thrust "Weight on Bit"
2. Torque "Rotation"

Drill bits must make chips or cuttings and combined with air pressure and volume contribute to the
clearing of the drilled cuttings.

Drag Bits
Drag bits are used in soft formations like clay, shale, and soft overburden materials. These bits make
maximum use of rotary torque for chip making.
Drag bits generally have 3 or 4 cutting wings which are tipped with tungsten carbide inserts to resist
heat during drilling.

Advantages of Drag Bits


1. Relatively low in cost compared to tri-cone roller bits.
2. High penetration rates in soft formations.
3. Good penetration of diff cult formations such as clay.

Disadvantages of Drag Bits


1. Shorter service life than tri-cone bits.
2. Not good for drilling hard formations.
3. Unstabilized drag bits are prone to drill crooked holes.

Tri-Cone Roller Bits


Tri-Cone roller bits are made for four general types of drilling conditions—soft, medium, hard and very
hard ground formations.

Roller bits consist of a bit body with three cones equipped with steel teeth or tungsten carbide buttons.
The teeth or buttons are distributed over the three roller cones in such a manner that the entire bottom of
the hole is worked when the bit is rotated.

General characteristics for soft formation bits are that the bits have larger, more widely spaced teeth
or buttons and differing cone centering geometry, while hard formation bits have smaller tungsten carbide
inserts for cutting teeth which are closely spaced to reduce torque and the size of chips in hard material.

Drilling Practices 5-5


Rotary Drill Bits

Tri-Cone Roller Bits (cont.)


The cones of the drill bit are mounted on bearings which are designed to withstand the thrust and rotation
forces exerted on the bit. The gauge or size for the bit is protected by hard facing or tungsten compacts on
the outer surface of the cones and the shirt tails of the bit body.

Tri-cone bits are f tted with air tubes and nozzles which allow air to pass through the bit. The air tubes
are designed to allow air to pass through the bit. The air tubes are designed to allow air to f ow through to
the bit bearings; the air then aids in cooling and cleaning the bearings.

The bit nozzles allow the main volume of air to f ow through the bit for cleaning the cuttings from the
hole. These nozzles are designed so that different sized orif ces can be installed for different drilling condi-
tions.

To make sure air gets down to the bearing air tubes, ensure a certain amount of working air pressure
at the bit face. Change this pressure by changing the size of the nozzles, which might be needed if the
drilling conditions get softer. The orif ce size would probably need to be increased to allow more air to pass
through the bit for better hole cleaning.

Advantages of Tungsten Carbide, Tri-Cone Roller Bits


1. 4 to 10 times more footage per bit than conventional hard formation steel tooth bits.
2. The penetration rate will usually equal or exceed that of conventional hard formation bits.
3. Higher feed pressures can be used in hard formations.
4. Bits can be used in both soft and hard formations.

Disadvantages of Tungsten Carbide, Tri-Cone Roller Bits


1. More expensive than conventional bits.
2. Generally not good for drilling clay formations. Tungsten carbide bits may cost more than steel
tooth bits and economics must be considered when choosing the correct bits for each application
and should enter into your decision when to use them.

All tungsten carbide bit designs incorporated the use of compacts in the gauge surface or the cones, and
varying combinations of compacts and hard facing on the gauge surface of the bit leg to provide increased
resistance to abrasive wear.

When the formation is relatively uniform, these bits characteristically drill at a constant penetration rate
throughout their life.

Suff cient weight must be applied to the bit to produce an effective chipping-crushing action of the forma-
tion. However, you should be aware that weights in excess of "suff cient" are not necessarily economical,
as they may result in breakage of the compacts as well as reducing the life of the bearings.

Normally the weights used on tri-cone roller bits range from 3,500 to 7,000 pounds per inch of bit diam-
eter with rotary speeds varying from 100 to 500 revolutions per minute.

5-6 Drilling Practices


Rotary Blast Hole Drill Strings

Drill Pipe
Drill pipe is used as a modem to transfer rotation to the drill bit and to convey air to clean the cuttings
from the hole.

Blast hole drill pipe is selected to suit the diameter of the hole being drilled, the pulldown and hoisting
capacity of the machine, and up-hole velocity requirements to clean the hole.

Standard drill pipe is designed to be run in tension. Drill pipe run in tension is held relatively straight,
bending and wear are therefore kept to a minimum. However, blast hole rigs apply pressure to the bit through
the pull-down system on the machine.

Since blasthole drill pipe is run in compression it must be made from heavy wall tubing to resist forces
which not only may be high, but are also changing rapidly. The pipe must continue to do this in spite of abra-
sive wear and continual bending stresses. Drilling operations often place great stresses on the drill string,
therefore the drill pipe must be manufactured to the highest degree to achieve the ultimate service life.

Periodic inspections should be made of the condition of your drill pipe and should include the following
items:
1. Outside diameter measurement of pipe.
2. Welded joints for cracks or excess wear.
3. Threads for excessive wear or galling.
4. Pipe for bends or eccentric joints.

Fabricated Drill Pipe


Blast hole drill pipe design features tool joints made from steels selected specif cally for the application
and heat treated to obtain optimum strength and toughness.

The tool joints are designed with long tangs that are internally tapered, which enables them to be forced
or shrink f tted to the tubing and then welded. Wrench slots or f ats are milled to suit the break-out require-
ments of the drill.

Thread Grease
Precision machined threads and shoulders must be protected from damage. Threads are subjected to
a lot of abuse, therefore it is imperative that they are inspected and greased regularly. Prior to each use,
clean and visually inspect each pin and box for thread and shoulder damage. Check carefully for galls,
burrs, scratches and particularly for cracks. Clean or repair if necessary. Use a zinc, lead or copper based
lubricant that is recommended for rotary connections and apply thoroughly to all thread and shoulder sur-
faces. Ensure grease is clean and free of dust and debris.

Substitutes
Substitutes (subs) or adapters are used where threads of one size or type must be coupled with threads
of another size or type. They are also used at points of heat wear to provide readily replaceable threads.
Changes in drill pipe diameter must occur gradually. Subs should be gently tapered.

Drilling Practices 5-7


Rotary Blast Hole Drill Strings

Pipe Threads
There are many different types of threads available for drill pipe connections, most of which are not
acceptable for blast hole drilling because of their vulnerability to damage from excessive forces to the drill
string in blast hole drilling.

The two most commonly used threads are:


1. A.P.I. Regular (American Petroleum Industry Standard)
2. BECO style thread

With the increase in demand for eff cient, economical blast hole drilling, it was observed that several
factors caused greater thread wear on blast hole drills.

1. The drilling of multiple pass holes demands frequent pipe changes. This increased frequency
greatly contributes to thread wear.
2. The coupling of the rotary head to a drill pipe in the pipe loader often occurs at an elevation high
in the mast, affording very poor visibility to the Operator. This operation is often done by feel and
cross threading is not an uncommon result.
3. Thread loading during joint make-up should be instrument controlled. The rotary head used on
blast hole drills can generate very high torque and the skills of the Operator usually determines the
actual magnitude of the axial forces used. A careless Operator can destroy the threads if care is not
exercised.
4. All drill pipe that operates in compression has the tendency to bend and rub on the walls of the
hole. These bending forces also act on the threads which increases the possibility of cracks,
breaks and tool joint failures.

A.P.I. Regular Threads


Field experiences have shown that the normal A.P.I. regular threads have displayed less than satisfac-
tory life under the above conditions. The majority of drill bits are provided with A.P.I. regular pins, but since
bit changes are less frequent than pipe changes, thread wear is less, making the A.P.I. regular threads
acceptable for bit connections.

BECO Threads
The primary feature of the BECO thread series is that 2 threads per inch pitch is utilized. This coarser
thread survives much better under adverse conditions. The coarse threads are stronger, less susceptible
to damage, more tolerant to wear and easier to loosen from a tight condition. Since the incorporation of
the BECO thread system in the early 1960's, the thread has become an unoff cial world wide standard for
drill pipe used in rotary blast hole drilling operations.

Drill Bit Stabilizers

Drill bit stabilizers are used to reduce possible hole def ection and to ensure that the drill bit runs concentri-
cally (evenly in the center of the hole) about its axis and thereby optimizes bit life and penetration rates.

There are two main types of stabilizers available, blade and roller. Blade stabilizers have f xed wings
that have been either hard faced or mounted with tungsten carbide inserts. Roller stabilizers are mounted
with replaceable rollers which are built up with a special tungsten carbide weld and held in place by long
lasting non grease bearings.

Advantages of Blade Type Stabilizers


1. Generally cheaper.
2. May use replaceable wear bars for rapid rebuilding.
3. Can use replaceable sleeves.

Disadvantages of Blade Type Stabilizers


1. Require rebuilding for each new drill bit.
2. Have relatively high torque requirements.
3. In hard ground they may provide little stabilization after the f rst couple of holes.

Advantages of Roller Type Stabilizers


1. Lower torque requirements than blades.
2. Better stabilization.
3. Generally give more economical life.
4. Throw away or replaceable rollers.

Disadvantages of Roller Type Stabilizers


1. High purchase cost.
2. Expensive replacement of parts.

5-10 Drilling Practices


Compressed Air

Compressed air is the most common method used with blast hole drills for clearing chips from the hole.
The advantages of drilling blast holes with compressed air are fast chip removal, and that holes are nor-
mally left dry.

In some circumstances a controlled amount of water or foam can be injected into the air stream to aid
chip removal, enhance hole stability and control dust problems.

Chips not cleared immediately will be broken into smaller pieces. Secondary breaking wastes energy
and increases bit wear.

Air Requirements
In rotary blast hole drilling we must always be concerned with delivery of air in suff cient volume and
at the proper pressure to assure optimum bit life when drilling with recommended bit weight and RPM.
Suff cient air volume should be provided to produce an up-hole velocity of 4,000 to 6,000 feet per minute
(1220 to 1830 meters per minute).

Up-Hole Velocity Calculations


Cubic Feet Per Minute

Velocity = Free Air CFM x 183.4


(Bit Diameter 2 - Pipe Diameter 2) in inches

Meters Per Minute

Velocity = Free Air L.P.M. x 2


(Bit Diameter 2 - Pipe Diameter 2 ) in inches

Drilling Practices 5-11


Drilling Related Problems

The majority of drilling problems originate from errors in judgement or simply from making a bad decision.
Drilling problems generally offer several courses or action to overcome the problem, therefore we must
make a decision to try another method of operation to rectify the problem. Drilling decisions often avert or
accelerate the complex drilling diff culties which we refer to as drilling problems.

EXAMPLE
a. A decision may be made a long time before the problem is evident, like deciding to use inadequate
up hole air velocity. This may lead to slow, ineff cient drilling or stuck drill strings.
b. Or the decision can bring immediate problems, like a decision to increase the pulldown pressure
may result in premature failure of the drill bit.

During drilling operations every action taken may have consequences. Operators must recognize that
their job involves a continuous sequence of making decisions and the quality of these decisions determines
the quality of the Operator's performance.

Drilling consists of a continuing sequence of:


1. Being aware
2. Interpreting indicators or messages
3. Making decisions
4. Monitoring results

Many drilling problems are revealed to the Operator by an indicator. This indicator can take almost any
form (e.g. a reduction in the volume of drill cuttings being cleared from the hole.) This may not be a problem
in itself, but it could be an indicator of a problem developing down the hole, therefore if the Operator knows
the indicators, they are then made aware of the pending problem.

Human Error Problems


These problems have a direct and usually short term connection with a decision (e.g. the Operator de-
cides to try and drill one more hole with a badly worn bit before changing the bit.)

Operational Related Problems


These problems are connected with the failure of the drilling equipment (e.g. engine fails while drill string
is in the hole, possibly leading to the drill string becoming stuck while engine is repaired.)

Formation Related Problems


Some formations present problems that are not readily solved using the available drilling equipment
or skills (e.g. swelling ground formations due to high levels of ground water.) These situations should be
viewed as a challenge rather than a problem.

5-12 Drilling Practices


Operating Problems and Indicators

1. Drill Bit Penetration Slows or Stops


This is a statement of an indicator rather than a problem. The solution depends on the correct diag-
nosis of the problem, which could be:
a. Formation Change
b. Drill Bit Blocked Up
c. Incorrect Bit Type
d. Dull Drill Bit
e. Incorrect Pulldown Pressure or Rotary Speed
f. Inadequate Hole Cleaning

2. High Drill String Torque


Excessive drill string torque is also an indicator of a pending problem, some of which might be:
a. Excessive Pulldown Pressure
b. Inadequate Hole Cleaning
c. Crooked Hole
d. Damaged or Badly Worn Drill Bit

3. Drill String Vibration


This itself often seems like a problem, but the true problem usually lies in the reason for the vibra-
tion, some of which are:
a. Incorrect Rotary Speed
b. Bent Drill Pipe
c. Eccentric Drill Pipe Joints
d. Incorrect Drill Pipe to Hole Size
e. Crooked Hole
f. Worn Deck Bushing or Stabilizer

4. Stuck Drill Pipe


a. Inadequate Hole Cleaning
b. Crooked Hole
c. Faulty Formations

Drilling Practices 5-13


Solving Drilling Problems

1. Recognize the problem. The Operator must be aware of the small problems before they develop
into bigger ones.
2. Analyze the problem. Determine exactly what the problem is, what caused it and what is involved
to rectify the problem.
3. Compare the current problem with others previously encountered to assist in f nding the most likely
solution. Decide on a solution.

Experienced operators make decisions almost automatically, they are immediately aware of the signif -
cance of an indicator. They react spontaneously because their experience tells them the appropriate action
to take. By correctly selecting the desirable action in each situation, the Operator will:

1. Maximize the quality of the products of drilling.


2. Maximize drilling production.

PLC
Run / Rem / Program Key-switch

RUN Position
This position places the processor in the Run mode. The processor scans/executes the ladder program,
monitors input devices, energizes output devices, and acts on enabled I/O forces. You can only change
the processor mode by changing the key-switch position. You cannot perform online program editing. To
change the processor mode to RUN, toggle the key-switch from PROG or REM to RUN. When the key-
switch is left in the RUN position, you cannot use a programmer/operator interface device to change the
processor mode.

PROG Position
This position places the processor in the Program mode. The processor does not scan/execute the ladder
program, and the controller outputs are de-energized. You can perform online program editing. You can
only change the processor mode by changing the key-switch position. To change the processor mode to
Program, toggle the key-switch from REM or RUN to PROG. When the key-switch is left in the PROG
position, you cannot use a programmer/operator interface device to change the processor mode.

REM Position
This position places the processor in the Remote mode: either the REMote Run, REMote Program, or
REMote Test mode. You can change the processor mode by changing the key-switch position or by
changing the mode from a programmer/operator interface device. You can perform online program editing

EEPROM

Options and Accessories 7-3


Vigilante System

EEPROM
The EEPROM is a backup of the PLC programme.
The PLC has been set up to load from an EEPROM. Loading will occur every time the PLC is powered up
and has the EEPROM installed. This has been done to facilitate minor updates via changing the EEPROM.
When the PLC is turned on (powered up) it will “look” to see if the EEPROM is installed in the Processor
Card. If it is detected, it will then load the programme from the EEPROM into the Processor Card. If it is not
detected it will just use the current programme already in the Processor Card.
The EEPROM should never be left in the Processor Card as it will overwrite stored values every time the
PLC is turned off and on. E.g. battery isolator turned off for lunch break, during shifts, maintenance work.
This means that the EEPROM should be removed immediately from the card (and kept in a safe location as
a backup) after initial loading to prevent a reload and loss of information every time the drill is started.

Procedure to load from a EEPROM


1. Turn off power to PLC
2. Remove the Processor Card (the card with a key in it)
3. Install the EEPROM into the Processor Card
4. Replace Processor Card
5. Ensure key is in the “RUN” position
6. Restore power to PLC
7. LED lights on Processor cards will toggle off-on “FLT”, “DH” and “RUN”.
8. Loading process is ok when the “RUN’ light is ON.
9. After PLC has entered “Run Mode”. Turn power off to PLC.
10. Remove the Processor Card
11. Remove the EEPROM from the Processor Card
12. Replace the Processor Card into the PLC
Restore power to the PLC.

Recover from a Processor Fault


This procedure will erase all current operating and stored data in the programme i.e. calibration set points.
1. Turn processor key switch from RUN to PROGRAM mode
2. PLC power switched off for 10 seconds and then re-power
3. Key switch to RUN mode
4. If the PLC does not recover then turn power off and remove the processor card.
5. Reload the PLC processor memory with the EEPROM (refer to section “Procedure to load from an
EEPROM”)
6. If this does not f x the problem, then call Terex Reedrill for assistance.

Output Card
The individual outputs on an Output card are actually miniature relays with a small current carrying capacity
of one (1) amp. The contacts of the relays may burn if a faulty f eld device or wiring condition occurs. This
condition has occurred if the output indication LED light on the card is ON but no output voltage to operate
the f eld device is present on the corresponding output terminal. The LED only indicates that the PLC code
is attempting to operate the miniature relay for the corresponding output. If no output voltage is measured
on corresponding output terminal then the output relay (within card) is damaged.
Check f eld device and wiring for faults that could cause a high current situation.
Only replace the Output card after f eld fault has been corrected.

Replacing a Faulty Card


Turn off power to PLC.
Disconnect connector from card (2 screws at each end will jack connector from card).
Remove faulty card and check if it has any Dip Switches that need to be set on new card
Set any Dip Switches if required and install new card.
Replace connector & secure with screws.
Turn power back on to PLC.

Laser Depth System (see also page 8-37)
General Info
A laser is used to indicate depth on the Drill PLC System. This introduces a reliable method of detecting
depth without contact and avoids the use of unreliable encoders and pull wire devices.
The Laser is “only powered up” when the engine is running and the mast is raised.
The added optional functionality incorporated into the Drill PLC Depth system is....
* Pipe in hole detection
* Head clear indication
* Auto retracting of the Pipe Positioner, Centre guide, Hobo
* Prevent the Pipe Rack from swinging into the Head

Pipe-in-hole override Button

Start Hole button

Functional Description of Operation


* When the operator switches from Tram to Drill mode, the Rod counter will equal zero.
* The operator must push the START HOLE button on the Touchscreen when f rst starting to drill a hole.
As soon as he does this, the Rod counter display will equal 1 (1 rod on string) and the depth system will
be enabled.
* The Rod Counter proximity switch is used to detect that a rod has been either added or subtracted. It
does this by detecting the pipe rack position. When the Pipe Rack is swung under the Head and then
moved back into the parked position, a f ag in the PLC is “set”.
* After the Rod counter f ag has been “set”, the Laser then determines the position of the Head.
* With the Head above the “midpoint” and the Deck Wrench is operated ....then a rod will be ADDED
* If the Head moves down to a set point approx 200mm above “deck wrench” position without the Deck
Wrench being operated.......then the rod will be SUBTRACTED

Setting up the Laser


* Mount Laser. With head right down measure a distance 400mm away from Laser to Target position on
sheave. Move head to its right up position and hold Target on marking. Apply 24V dc to Laser and make
sure red dot is in middle of the Target. Mount the Target in this position.
* Move head from full down position to full up position and make sure the analog signal is reading over
full length of head travel in the PLC/Touch screen. For the Touch screen this can be seen in the general
1057 password protected area - calibration - ‘Laser Actual’ reading.
* Laser is now ready to be calibrated for depth reading.

Pipe in Hole Detection
This option inhibits the movement of the MAST, JACKS and TRAMMING.
All of the following 3 conditions must be met to verify that the pipe is out of the hole......
1. The Rods on string must be 1 or less (the last rod in the string will still be on the head).
2. The depth must equal zero (the actual depth must have counted all the way back to zero).
3. The head must be above the “Pipe in Hole” set point (the head must be at the top of the mast).

Tram Protection
The Pipe in Hole is deemed to be clear to Tram only after ALL THREE above conditions are met OR the
Override function is operated on the Touchscreen.
The operation of the Tram Override function (on the Tram Screen) is logged on the screen and memory.
The Tram Override function will self reset when the operator switches back to drill mode for the next hole or
whenever the drill is f rst started.

Mast and Jack Lowering Protection


The Pipe in Hole is deemed to be clear to Tram only after ALL THREE above conditions are met OR the
Override function is operated on the Touchscreen.
The operation of the Pipe in Hole Override function (on the Drill Screen) is logged on the screen and
memory. The Pipe in Hole Override function will self reset when the operator switches to tram mode for the
next hole or whenever the drill is f rst started.
NOTE: All “OVERRIDE” operations and buttons are operated with the full understanding and
acceptance of the system or operation to be overridden.
Overriding any system has the potential for component or machine damage, this procedure
must be done only after fault evaluation and with due care.

Pipe Rack Swing Interlock


If the Head is below the “Head Clear” set point. The Pipe Rack will not be allowed to swing into the Head.
This interlock prevents collision between the Head and the Pipe Rack carousel.

Distance Meter
Setting Up
Magnetic Proximity switch is located on the crawler and senses a ring of f ags attached to the track drive.
The distance between each f ag count is approx. 112mm (This may vary slightly on each drill. The actual
calibrated f gure can be obtained from the commissioning sheet)
The tram direction pressure switch is used to detect a change in direction (Switch must be set to be ON
when tram is just moving in one direction only).
It is critical that all f ags are being sensed by the proximity switch when the drill is tramming. If the proximity
is too far away from the f ag ring, random sensing will occur, resulting in an incorrect and unrepeatable
distance measurement. Initially random sensing can be seen as too many counts being registered and
distance displayed incorrect, indicating the proximity switch is ‘f ickering’ on-off over each f ag. Adjustment
may be needed to the Proximity, (adjusting it closer to the f ag ring increases detection reliability).
Do not adjust the proximity any closer than 3mm.
Options and Accessories 7-9
Vigilante System
A red led on the rear of the proximity operates to indicate the sensing of the f ag.
Incorrect adjustment of the Tram Pressure switch will also cause unreliable distance measurement. If the
switching is set to operate too late or system pressure is slow to build then a number of f ags can be missed
resulting in an incorrect distance reading.
Errors associated with the distance meter will always be due to faulty or incorrectly adjusted f eld devices.

Gauges
General Info
All gauge transducers are 4-20mA signals
4mA = zero on the gauge
20mA = maximum reading of transducer on the gauge (As indicated in the Electrical drawings)

Operation checks
Check for blockages in feed line to transducers
Verify 4-20mA signal back at PLC with a Multimeter in series on the signal wiring.

Pressure Transducer (see also page 8-69)


The Pressure transducers are factory calibrated and preset.
Error code table for error codes as seen on transducer display

Level Transducer (see also page 8-57)


The level transmitters under normal operation will display the level of f uid in centimeters. This reading is
thedistance from the bottom of the level probe not actual tank depth. The PLC calculates the level read over
the probe as a percentage for display on the Drill PLC System.

Level Transducer setup


Slide level probe into mounting bung and apply power
Select programming mode and select “NED” (this is where the medium type is set)
For water select “1c”
For fuel select “2o”
Select “Cop” this will set the empty detection level (nothing should be touching probe at this point)
The calibration is complete and can be de-powered and installed in the tank

Inclinometers (see also page 8-33)


Two incline sensors (which are mounted under the dash) are used to detect the machine incline angles
when tramming. There are two alarm set points.
* Excessive Incline Warning: This warning indication only alarm is preset 2 degrees below machine
operating parameters when tramming. The operating parameters vary on type of machine, whether mast
is up or down and which direction the drill is facing when tramming up or down an incline.
* Excessive Incline - Tip over Imminent: This shutdown alarm is preset set at an angle of 45 degrees. It
is obvious that at this point the Machine will be on its side and the Drill PLC system will automatically
shutdown the machine.
The incline sensor is a 4-20mA device and feedback can be measured with a multimeter.
4mA = (-) 80¼ (degrees)
20mA = (+) 80¼ (degrees).

Inclinometer setup
To set up newly installed NG4I Inclinometer:
* Machine must be jacked and level to correctly perform Inclinometer setting.
* Connect Inclinometer wiring as per As built Electrical schematics.
* Mount the inclinometer loosely and apply power.
* Slowly rotate the inclinometer and check the indicated angle on the relevant touch screen display.
(Buffering in the PLC will cause the Touchscreen incline display to update slowly)
* When the zero point is achieved f rmly mount the Inclinometer in that position.

Head Speed Module (see also page 8-31)
General info
The Head Speed Module picks up a frequency signal from the Head Speed sensor.
The proximity switch sensor is located on the head unit. This frequency signal is then converted to a
4-20mA analog signal and fed to the PLC analog card.
The analog signal from the converter can be checked with a multimeter, in series with the converters output
to the PLC.

Calibrating
This procedure should be done whenever the head speed module is replaced. It is a set once conf guration

Level Switches (see also pages 8-49)


When replacing a capacitive level switch, it is necessary to set the “zero point”. The level switch should be
screwed into a spare adaptor bung and powered up. The zero point can then be set to ignore detecting the
adaptor bung. If a spare adaptor bung is not available, then the tank medium must be below the level switch
when setting the zero point.
