Hydraulic system, general

General L740, L740CR
The hydraulic system of the ROC L740 and L740CR is an electrical and pilot pressure
controlled system, with 6 hydraulic pumps. Hydraulic pumps 1, 2, 3 and 4 are in-line
assembled and direct driven by the diesel engine over a flexible coupling.
The hydraulic pumps 5 and 6 are combined to a double pump with a common suction line.
They are driven by the diesel engines extra power-take-off.
The pressure on these pumps is regulated with fixed or variable pressure relief valves. Pump 1
is an axial piston pump with variable displacement. During drilling pump 1 is regulated by the
pressure relief valves for high/low percussion. During tramming pump 1 is connected to two
flow sharing compensated directional control valves. The pump pressure is controlled by
whichever load there is on the tramming motors.

Pilot pressure
The pilot pressure signals from the drill lever are transferred to the main valve block and to
the pressure control panel via logic valves. The pressure gauge panel shows the impact
pressure, feed pressure and rotation pressure in the main valve block. The pressure control
panel controls the working pressure of pump 1 (only in L740 & L740CR), feed and the rotation
functions in the main valve block. The gauges & panel are located in the cab for easy use.
The tramming controls are mounted close to the operators seat, and control the main
tramming valves proportionally.
Return oil and oil cooler

The hydraulic oil tank has a capacity of 410 litres, which means there is often a stock of
oil in the tank. There are two return-/drain oil filters that filter the hydraulic oil from the
return- and drain circuits and oil used to fill the system. There is also a breather 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
40C and directly to the tank when the temperature is below 40C. 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 55C (optional). The cooling fan is driven by a fan motor that is supplied
with oil by pump 5. The pressure to the fan motor is controlled by a proportional pressure
relief valve. The control system regulates the pressure, and thereby the fan speed depending
on the cooling demands.
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-Leakage 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 check 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 PLC input X11-8.

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 90C. The sensor signal from B362 goes via PLC input X16-5.
The drain cock is used to remove water of condensation or to empty the hydraulic oil tank.
Hydraulic system L7TH, CR
Hydraulic system L8
Electrical system, general

General
ROC L740, L740CR, L830 are equipped with a 24-volt electrical system for monitoring and
fault indication, electric power is also used for controlling a number of hydraulic and
pneumatic valves. The composition of the electrical system is illustrated in the block diagram.
Battery charging
Power supply to the electrical system consists of two, serie-connected 12 volt / 185 Ah
batteries. These are charged by a 3-phase A/C alternator. The batteries are connected to the
system by a manually operated battery switch.
Main fuse
The feed to the electrical cabinet is fused by a 63 A main fuse (F100).
Electrical cabinet
The electrical cabinet A1 contains 34 ATO fuses (when all options are included) that limit the
current intensity to the different sub-circuits, two auxiliary relays (K18, K178) to handle large
currents above 4 Amp, stop relay for the emergency stop circuit (K11), remote shutdown
relay (K200), start relay (K5A), main fuse and a PLC (CPU1-3).
ECM (Caterpillar)
Electronic Control Module is used for monitoring the engines functions and sensors. It
receives analogue and digital information from the engine. The information is processed and
transferred in J1939 protocol. The ECM stops the diesel engine automatically if a specific
fault occurs. A specific fault is for example low oil pressure which could cause major damage
to the engine.

Batteries

The power source consists of two 12V/185Ah batteries connected in series and an alternator.
Before the main switch is switched on, there is power to the diesel fire heater & timer.
When the main switch is switched on, there is power supply to the radio, cabin lights, utility
lights and ECM (48,52,53) thorough teminals 10 and 25. Power is also supplied to the starter
motor switch, but the switch is triggered by the starter motor relay via PLC.
When the key is in the ignition position power is supplied to the emergency stop circuit,
CAN nodes, display, PLC processor and its sensor inputs through terminal 15. If the
emergency stops are intact, relay K11 is activated. Power is now supplied to the ECM (70),
PLC outputs and relays, working lights/wiper, seat heating and the climate system in the cabin
through terminal 50.
When the key is in the start position the diesel engine is started via starter motor M1, and
starter motor is powered by relay K5A. K5A is activated if the conditions for starter motor are
fulfilled.
ECM is supplied with power both before and after ignition. The difference is, before ignition,
ECM is powered to boot its memory, but its monitoring functions are not started at this level.
Only after the key is in the ignition position, ECM starts working properly.
If any of the emergency stops is activated, it will deactivate switch K11, causing all the
functions at the ignition level except the CAN nodes, display and CPU processor & sensor
inputs to be without power, since they are connected parallel with the emergency stop circuit.
Turn the key back to 0 position before re-start.
Note: The electrical systems ground cables are not isolated by the main switch. This means
that the system consumes a small current even when no functions are activated.

CAN, general
CAN, general
This is an overview of the CAN communication
network. If communication is down in any of
the units, the unit will show in red, and a
warning for communication breakdown will be
shown on the status bar.
CAN
There are various types of control modules (PLC, ECM, main display, CAN nodes 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 that requires only 4 conductors (CAN+,
CAN-, CAN high, CAN low) and a screen. The
CAN network is supplied with 24 V, and the CAN
high / low signal lies at approximately 2.6 V and
2.4 V respectively.
Display D501
All CAN data is handled by the display shown graphically or digitally. The program for the
HEC (Hole/Engine Control) system is stored in the display and the software is downloaded
via a PC or a USB-flash drive (see installation instructions in a separate section).
The display shows engine data, angle/hole information and the status of switches/sensors, etc.
CPU2 receives the information sent from ECM in J1939 protocol and translates this to
CANopen protocol, which is then shown on the display. Other information is sent directly
from the CPUs, CAN nodes, D169 module and D171 module to the display by using
CANopen protocol.
PLC
The PLC system consists of three CPU units (CPU1, CPU2, CPU3). They are each
programmed to handle certain inputs and outputs together with inputs from CAN nodes, and
for some functions inputs from the HEC software is required.
There is a led installed on each CPU unit, a green blinking signal at 2 Hz indicates the CPU is
working normally; a green blinking signal at 5 Hz indicates no operating system is loaded; a
green stable signal indicates a PLC stop. If the led appears to be red or yellow, then the CPU
is experiencing error, contact the factory in this case. And if the led does not light at all, check
the power supply.
All the direct PLC input/output signals are connected to the PLC via 9 indication cards
(marked X10-X18), the led on the indication cards will light in red if the corresponding
input/output is being activated.
11
CAN, general
CAN nodes
The CAN nodes (D550, D551, D552, D553, D554) translate all the input signals for all the
switches located on the operating panels; also the output signals for all the leds and magnets
located in the drill lever, so the modules can communicate in CAN high/low signals
directly. Every input/output on the CAN nodes each has its own led. The led will light in
constant yellow when their corresponding input/output is activated.
There are also two CAN communication leds on every CAN node, one lights in green and the
other one lights in red. A green stable signal indicates the CAN node is in its preoperational
mode; a green blinking signal indicates that the CAN node is in operation, but both signals
can not indicate whether the CAN node is correctly installed to match the CAN Node ID
number shown in the display. The CAN node ID number has to be set manually on the
module when installed. When a communication fault occurs during operation, the red led will
be activated.
ECM
CATs engine control module that controls engine operation.
D169/D171/D173 Module
D169 module is a CAN-based aiming device that communicates with the display directly.
D171 module is a CAN-based angle sensor that communicates with the display directly.
D173 module (option) is a CAN-based GPS compass that communicates with the display
directly.
Terminal plug
At the start and end of the CAN network there are terminal plugs installed. A terminal plug
consists of a resistor (120) which terminates the networks both ends in the correct way so
that the signal does not bounce back to the system. There are 4 terminal plugs installed in
the CAN network (see figure below).

CAN, general
Sensor/switch monitoring system

The CAN system can present switch and sensor status on the display screen. The analogue
sensors are connected via the CPUs, except potentiometer R189 (adjusting engine revolution)
is connected via the CAN node and the coolant water level sensor B361 is connected directly
to the ECM, though sensor B361 is powered from external power source (M12 box X34:8).
The digital (ON/OFF) switches are connected via the CAN nodes, and the digital sensors are
connected via the CPUs, except sensor B379 (operator in chair) is connected via CAN node.
By selecting a module with the curse on the screen, and press the enter button, status of each
module could be checked (in the event of a red module).
By selecting in/outputs for the CPUs or the CAN nodes modules on the screen, status for all
inputs and outputs could be checked in the system. An actuated function is displayed as 1
while and un-actuated function is displayed as 0.
Note that for an input, 0 or 1 is the status that is received by the CPUs; while 0 and 1
for an output is the signal sent from the CPUs. I.e. there is not any confirmation that the signal
actually is received by the valve, etc. Broken cables are not noticed by the system.

Control panel
Control panel
The control panel is comprised of a touch panel user interface and a power
board for function actuation.
Before ignition, the power board is powered with 24 V via fuse F25, the
button for light in engine compartment and the indication lamp for battery
start to blink in green.
After ignition, the power board is powered with 24 V via fuses F4, F5 and
F10, and the power board is lit up in white.
A CAN cable is used as the communication media between the power board
to the touch panel; also used to power up the touch panel. This CAN
network exists as a separate circuit, aside from the CAN network mentioned
in the chapter before.

Ignition position
When the ignition key S139 is in the ignition position the contacts 30-15 and 30-75 are
closed. The ignition relay K11 is activated and the relay contacts are closed under the
conditions that the emergency stops are intact.
Before the K11 relay contacts are closed, the display and the emergency stop circuit are
supplied with voltage via fuse F25. PLC processor and sensor inputs are supplied with
voltage via fuse F14; CAN nodes are supplied with voltage via fuse F23.
When the K11 relay contacts are closed, the ECM is supplied with voltage via fuse F13, ECM
is now functional. PLC outputs and relays are supplied with voltage via F15-F22.
The above figures show the display transition during ignition, several symbols for the rig
functions can be lit (only the symbol for communication breakdown is shown here in the
above example) for a few seconds before going off since the ECM has been waiting to be
booted.

Start position
Conditions for activation of starter motor:
Emergency stops S132A and S132B not activated => PLC input X10-8/ON
Fuses F100, F3, F13, F14, F15, F23 are intact.
S130 in tramming mode => D552-CH2 or CH3/ON
Compressor switch S180 OFF => D552-CH9/OFF
Ignition key S139 in start position => D550-CH4/ON
Only for L830: Start preventing pressure sensor B336 OFF => PLC input X13-4/OFF
When all the above conditions are met, this will result in:
Start relay K5A is activated and the relay contact is closed, hence activating starter motor M1,
i.e. engine is cranking.
Conditions for starting the diesel engine:
Compressor temperature B366 < 120C (~17.5mA).
Hydraulic oil level sensor B143 activated, which indicates the oil level is normal.
Hydraulic oil temperature B362 < 90C (~15mA).
If the conditions above are fulfilled:
K200 activated, enables engine start.
When the ignition key S139 is turned to the start position and 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.
ECM overview
ECM is functional when the battery is
switched (1) and the ignition key is position
(2). To start the diesel engine, K200 has to be
activated (3) so ECM 44 is not grounded
(refer to page 15 for more information on
automatic engine shut-down), and the
Caterpillar sensors (4) must be working
normally.

Diesel engine
Engine speed
The engine speed can be de- or increased by flicking switch S189
up- or downwards. Digital signal is sent directly into the CAN
node D554, then to CPU2 through CAN open protocol, and at last
sent to the ECM through J1939 protocol.
CPU2 can support 7 engine revolutions, and it can store 3 separate
engine speeds, one for tramming, one for rod handling and one for
drilling. CPU2 remembers the engine speeds for rod handing and
drilling even when the battery switch is turned off. In tramming
mode the system will always start at 1200 rpm. The speeds can all
be set individually within the range specified below.

The engine starts on idling speed 1200 rpm, flicking the switch once upwards should increase
the speed to 1500 rpm, then the engine speed increases with 100 rpm per flick upwards until it
reaches the maximum speed of 2000 rpm. It is also possible to hold the switch for several
seconds in order to reach the maximum speed. To decrease the engine speed from the idling
speed, flick the switch once downwards takes down the speed step by step just like upwards.
When changing from tramming position to drilling, the engine speed automatically increases
to engine speed set for drilling and vice versa.

Diesel engine
Control instrumentation
The ECM controls and monitors all engine data and diagnostic information from the diesel
engine. This information is sent via CPU2 to the display, where all the necessary engine
information is presented. CPU2 also translates the information from J1939 to CAN open so it
can be presented on the display.
Signals from the rig sensors are sent via the CPUs directly to the display, where information
can be viewed. (See figure)
A red warning lamp on the status bar means
that the problem is critical, and the engine
will be shut automatically. A yellow warning
lamp means the engine needs to be switched
off manually, and the fault needs to be
checked and rectified. Refer to Switches
and sensors that automatically and manually
stop the diesel engine for a list of sensors
that automatically and manually shut down
the engine.
Status bar
Engine monitoring
A number of sensors and switches on the engine do not generate warnings on the status bar in
the event of a fault. A direct code system has been introduced, 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 bars 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.
Note: The CAT fault diagnosis table will only show faults that are related to the motor. That
is to say some faults indicated on the status bar can be found in the table, but not all the faults
show in the table can be found on the status bar.

Diesel engine
Switches and sensors that automatically and manually stop the diesel
engine
Automatically stopping (or shutting down) the diesel engine does not mean that the whole
system also goes off. All functions at the key ignition level are still working. To shut down
the whole system including the display, turn the key back to the 0 position.
Manual:
Start key (S139)
Emergency stop (S132A, S132B)
Automatic:
These are indicated by a red lamp on the status bar and switch the engine off automatically.
Hydraulic oil level (B143)
The level switch sends a signal to PLC input X11-8 when the level is normal. If the level is
below normal, the loss of X11-8 will result in a loss of PLC output X11-3 which is connected
to relay K200. ECM 44 gets grounded and shuts down the engine.
Hydraulic oil temperature (B362)
The temperature sensor sends a signal to PLC input X16-5. If the temperature has reached
80C, a yellow warning is shown first, and if the temperature has reached 90C, this will
result in a loss of PLC output X11-3 which is connected to relay K200. ECM 44 gets
grounded and shuts down the engine.
Compressor temperature (B366)
The temperature sensor sends a signal to PLC input X16-7 and PLC input X16-6 (for DTH
rigs). If the temperature has reached 117C, a yellow warning is shown first, and if the
temperature has reached 120C, this will result in a loss of PLC output X11-3 which is
connected to relay K200. ECM 44 gets grounded and shuts down the engine.
Engine oil pressure (B353)
The engine oil pressure sensor is part of the Caterpillar system and connected to the ECM.
Should abnormal pressure occur, the ECM shuts the engine down and a warning is shown on
the status bar.
Engine coolant temperature (B354)
The engine coolant temperature sensor is part of the Caterpillar system and connected to
ECM. Should the coolant temperature reach 105C, a yellow warning is shown on the display
after 10 seconds; at 106C the engine starts to de-rate after 10 seconds; at 107C the ECM
shuts down the engine after 10 seconds and a red warning is shown on the status bar.
Coolant water level (B361)
The engine coolant level switch is part of the Caterpillar system and connected to the ECM.
Should a low level occur, a yellow warning is shown on the display after 10 seconds; another
10 seconds later the engine starts to de-rate; and 10 more seconds after de-rate the ECM shuts
down the engine and a red warning is shown on the status bar.

Pumps & Pilot Pressure

Pump 1 L740, L740CR
Pump 1 is the main pump in the hydraulic system of ROC L740, L740CR. It is an axial piston
pump with a variable displacement. The pump is pressure compensated, which means that the
pressure is maintained constant irrespective of the flow.
The pump pressure can be controlled by either pressure relief valves connected to the control
panel when impact is started, or by pressure control valve 4d.
Pressure relief valves in the control panel L740, L740CR
During drilling, pump 1 pressure is controlled
by two pressure relief valves (47e & 47f) for
high and low impact. These are connected to the
pump control system when impact valve Y101A
is activated. When impact is not switched on,
pump 1 operates on constant pressure set by
pressure relief valve 4d + the Delta-p preset
pressure.
Pressure control valve 4d L740,
L740CR
During tramming, pump 1 is working in load
sensing mode, which means that the pump
pressure depends on the load on the tramming
motors. The maximum pressure of pump 1 can
be adjusted by pressure relief valve 4d.

P max valve L740, L740CR

The P max valve located on the pump limits the maximum pump output pressure, but this
pressure would not be reached since pressure relief valve 4d which is set to be lower than P
max, is there to limit the system pressure. Valve 4d should be used when adjusting the pump
1 working pressure within the system. P max is set to be higher than 4d by factory
setting, so its usually not necessary to change the setting on P max, this way P max
would not interfere with the LS signal.
In order to avoid starting the diesel engine with pump 1 pressurized, the Drilling/Tramming
switch must be in the Tramming position when starting. In this position, pump 1 runs at
standby pressure, 23 bar. Starting with the switch in Drilling position is also electrically
blocked.
23
L830
Pump 1 L830
Pump 1 is the main pump in the hydraulic system of ROC L830. It is an axial piston pump
with a variable displacement. The pump is pressure compensated, which means that the
pressure is maintained constant irrespective of the flow.
The pump pressure can be controlled by pressure control valve 4d.
Pressure control valve 4d L830
During tramming, pump 1 is working in load
sensing mode, which means that the pump
pressure depends on the load on the tramming
motors. The maximum pressure of pump 1 can
be adjusted by pressure relief valve 4d.
During drilling, pump 1 operates on constant
pressure set by pressure relief valve 4d + the
Delta-p preset pressure.
P max valve L830
The P max valve located on the pump limits
the maximum pump output pressure, but this
pressure would not be reached since pressure
relief valve 4d which is set to be lower than P
max, is there to limit the system pressure. Valve 4d should be used when adjusting the pump
1 working pressure within the system. P max is set to be higher than 4d by factory
setting, so its usually not necessary to change
the setting on P max, this way P max would
not interfere with the LS signal.
In order to avoid start the diesel engine with pump 1 pressurized, the Drilling/Tramming
switch must be in the Tramming position when starting. In this position, pump 1 runs at
standby pressure, 23 bar. Starting with the switch in Drilling position is also electrically
blocked.

5. Screw the P max set screw clockwise (if the pressure is too low) or anti-clockwise (if the
pressure is too high), while watching gauge 34 until it reads 270 bar.
6. When this is done, re-adjust the screw on 4d until the gauge reads 250 bar, to get back to
its normal setting.
Pumps 2, 3 and 4
Pumps 2, 3 and 4 are combined to a triple gear pump, mounted on pump 1.
The maximum pressure of pump 2 is set by relief valves 4x and 4y in the drill rotation circuit.
The pressure of pump 3 can be set on a variable relief valve 13a in the DCT valve block.
The pressure of pump 4 is set by a fixed relief valve 4c in the main valve block.
Pump 2 & 3 are running unloaded in different ways when switch S130 is in Tramming
position.
Pumps 5 and 6
Pumps 5 and 6 are gear pumps and driven by an extra power take off on the side of the diesel
engine.
The maximum pressure is set by an electro proportional relief valve mounted in each cooler
fan motor. These pumps are loaded 15 seconds after engine start.
25
Pilot pressure
Pilot pressure is supplied by pump 1 and generated in the main valve block by pressure
reducing valve 4b set to 35 bar, and then out to the pilot circuits.
Solenoid valve Y169 control whether the pilot pressure goes to the drilling circuit or to the
tramming circuit. Solenoid valve Y169 is activated when the Drilling/Tramming switch S130
is in tramming position and deactivated when the switch is in drilling position.

Tramming direction and speed is controlled via the tramming
paddles (S174/S175 see figure). These controls send a signal to
the electrical pilot valves for tramming forward or backward.
The pilot pressure changes the directional valves position
proportionally and pump 1 supplies the tramming motors
hydraulic circuits with oil.

The output range of the proportional electrical pilot valves for

28
Tramming
Activating the tramming function

When the Drilling/Tramming switch S130 is in any Tramming position (high or low), the
following solenoid valves are activated.
Activation of Y121A:
- It allows pump 1 pressure to connect to pressure compensator 4p and 4r in the main
valve block, 4p and 4r also have the functions of dividing the oil flow equally. The
tramming pressure is limited by pressure relief valve 4d set to 230 bar.
Activation of Y121B:
- The oil flow from pump 4 goes through pressure relief valve 4c set to 250 bar. The
pressure is then delivered to positioning functions.
Activation of Y169:
- It allows pilot pressure to come through to the tramming circuit.
The tramming direction and speed are controlled by means of pilot pressure controlling the
proportional directional valves. And these directional valves are controlled by solenoid valves
Y206A, Y206B, Y207A and Y207B.
The valve block included in the tramming motor 66 contains a shuttle valve 66a, a pilot
operated directional valve 66b and a pressure reducing valve 66c for releasing the tramming
brake when the motor is pressurized. To prevent the motors from increasing speed when
tramming down a slope, the over centre valve 66d serves as hydraulic brakes by means of
creating counter pressure in the motor return line when the pressure in the motor pressure line
drops.
Reverse warning
Warning signal/flash H185 is activated when tramming backwards.
Tramming high/low speed

The Drilling/Tramming switch S130 position high tramming, activates solenoid valve Y122.
Pilot pressure is then led to directional valve 66f in each traction motor. This connects system
pressure to the traction motors displacement device, which reduces the motor displacement
and results in increase of traction motor speed.
Rear jack (Option)

The rear jack is controlled by on/off switch S209, which energizes solenoid valve Y410A/B.
In order to protect the rear jack from becoming bent, it is not possible to tram the drill rig
unless the jack is fully retracted, activating the inductive proximity switch B184, this will also
generate a warning on the display.

Positioning
Positioning
The positioning circuit is mainly supplied with oil from pump 1. However, since the
tramming circuit is also supplied from pump 1, it is necessary to use pump 4 for positioning
during tramming. Since pump 1 is bigger and operates at higher pressure than pump 4, it
means that positioning is quicker in Drill mode than it is in Tramming mode.
Boom and feed positioning

The positioning cylinders are directly controlled by directional control valve 65 in the cabin.
The boom lift (BL) and feed dump (FD) cylinders are equipped with internal over-center
valves, which protect the cylinders from over load and acts as load holding valves. The feed
swing (FS), feed extension (FE) and boom swing (BS) cylinders have built in double pilot
operated check valves.
The BL cylinder is also equipped with throttle/check valve 64, on the piston rod side. This is
used to adjust the lowering speed of the boom to be equal to the elevating speed.
Positioning during tramming

During tramming, pump 4 is delivering oil to the positioning circuit, the pressure is limited by
the pressure relief valve 4c set to 250 bar.
When the Drilling/Tramming switch S130 is in tramming position, solenoid valve Y121B is
activated. This pressurizes the pump 4 circuit.
Track oscillation
The track oscillation solenoid valves Y419 and Y420 are controlled by switch S176 and S177
respectively.
The oscillation cylinders are hydraulically linked by a two positioned solenoid valve, Y473,
controlled by switch S445.
- ON, Floating
When solenoids valve Y473 is activated with switch S445 in
position (a), the valve is open allowing system pressure to open
the over centre valves in the Track Oscillation valve block 68.

This valve position should be used all the time except when the
rig is trammed in order to ensure a stable set-up.

Air System & Compressor

Air System
Compressed air is used for the following rig functions:
Flushing air
Full flushing and reduced flushing air. Transportation of drilled cuttings from the hole
to the surface. The reduced flushing is mainly used during collaring through fissured
ground, to prevent the air from destroying the hole walls.
ECL, rock drill lubrication system
Distribution of lubrication oil inside the rock drill.
HECL, DTH Hammer lubrication system
Distribution of lubrication oil inside the DTH Hammer.
HECL, COPROD head and sections lubrication system
Distribution of lubrication oil inside the COPROD head and sections.
ECG, thread greasing systems (option)
Distribution of lubrication oil onto the drill rod threads.
Spray greasing system (option)
Distribution of lubrication oil into the flushing air.
DCT, dust collector
Cleaning of the DCT filters.
Extra air-outlet
Provides air for running tools or grinders.
Water-mist system (option)
Pressurization of the air/water tank.
Flushing air L740, L740CR
Conditions for the flushing air function:
Switch S130 in Drilling position => input D552-CH1/ON
Sensor B118 activated, RHS arm in carousel => PLC input
X10-5/ON
Switch S100 in position reduced (b) or full (a) => input
D551-CH1/ON or OFF
Switch S446A in Impact position => input D550-CH9/ON
(To start only flushing, press the impact switch S446A for shorter
than 0.5 seconds. To start low impact, press the switch for longer
than 0.5 seconds. Pressing the switch again for shorter than 0.5
seconds would deactivate flushing.)
The volume of flushing air is controlled by the Flush air switch
S100, but activation of flushing air is done with Impact switch S446.
S100
Figure: example, L740 left panel
There are two air flushing modes, reduced and full air flushing, activated by their respective
solenoid valves Y116 and Y115. When full air flushing is activated, both the valves are open
and when reduced air flushing is activated only Y116 is open.
When a low flushing air pressure and flow is required, e.g. collaring in fractured rock, the
flushing air can be used in reduced mode by setting switch S100 in position (b). In this
position only Y116 will be activated.

Spray greasing system (option)
The lubrication is injected into the flushing air and dissipates through the treads of the drill
rods to keep them lubricated.
See chapter Spray greasing system (Option).
DCT, dust collector
See chapter Dust collector, DCT.
Extra air-outlet
The rig is equipped with two air outlets where a grinder or tool can be connected. The air
pressure is limited to 7 bar by a pressure reducing valve.
Water-mist system (option)
See chapter Water mist systems (Option).
Compressor
General L740, L740CR
The on board compressor is a single stage, oil-injected screw compressor. The normal
working pressure has been set to 12 bar, whereas the maximum pressure is 14 bar. The
maximum free air delivery (FAD) is 252.7 l/sec at 12 bar working pressure with 20C
ambient temperature.
General L830
The on board compressor is a double stage, oil-injected screw compressor. The normal
working pressure has been set to 30 bar, which also is the maximum pressure. The maximum
free air delivery (FAD) is 434.2 l/sec at 30 bar working pressure with 20C ambient
temperature.
Compressor element L740, L740CR
The compressor element contains two rotors, one female and one male rotor, mounted on
roller as well as ball bearings. The female rotor is driven by the diesel engine, and powers the
male rotor. The rotors are lubricated by oil, injected and mixed with the air. This also
increases the efficiency as the oil seals between the rotor-tips and housing. The compressor
elements are of Atlas Copco type OIS M-07. The gear ratio is 1.625.
33

Compressor element L830
The compressor element contains two rotors, one female and one male rotor, mounted on
roller as well as ball bearings. The female rotor is driven by the diesel engine, and powers the
male rotor. The rotors are lubricated by oil, injected and mixed with the air. This also
increases the efficiency as the oil seals between the rotor-tips and housing. The compressor
elements are of Atlas Copco type OIS N-02 and OIS J-33. The gear ratio is 2.195.
Air flow
Intake air is drawn in through the air filter and the inlet valve to the compressor element. The
air is mixed with injected oil and after compression is passed through the check valve into the
air receiver. The check valve prevents back-flow of compressed air when the compressor is
stopped. In the air receiver, most of the oil is removed from the air/oil mixture by the oil
separator. The flow of compressed air then passes through the minimum pressure valve out
into the drill rigs air system. The minimum pressure valve prevents the pressure in the air
receiver to drop below the minimum working pressure of the compressor before the air is
released, in order to ensure proper function of the oil system.

Cooling and oil system
Oil is used for lubrication, sealing, cooling and is boosted by air pressure, there is no oil
pump. The lower part of the air receiver serves as oil tank. Air pressure forces the oil from the
air receiver through the oil cooler, oil filter and the oil stop valve to the different injection
points of the compressor element. The air/oil mixture then leaves the compressor element and
re-enters the air receiver, where the oil is separated from the air by centrifugal or cyclone
forces and the oil separator element. Oil that is collected in the bottom of the oil separator is
returned to the oil system by way of the scavenge line and flow restrictor. The oil stop valve
prevents the compressor element from flooding with oil when the unit is stopped.
Note: A thermostatic valve bypasses the oil cooler when the oil is below 40 C for L740,
L740CR, and 80 C for L830.
Regulating system L740, L740CR
The compressor control system contains a regulating valve. This valve serves to adapt the
volume of air supplied by the compressor to the air consumption, while simultaneously
maintaining the working pressure within the limits.
The control system also includes a loading solenoid valve Y210 which is activated by switch
S180 on the right hand control panel.
Regulating system L830
The compressor control system contains two regulating valves. These valves serve to adapt
the volume of air supplied by the compressor to the air consumption, while simultaneously
maintaining the working pressure within the limits.
The control system also includes a load solenoid Y210A and a high/low pressure solenoid
valve Y210B. Y210A is activated by switch S180 on the right hand control panel. One
pressure switch B336 prevents the engine to start with the compressor loaded, which implies
there should be less than 1 bar in the air receiver before starting the engine. The second
pressure switch B337 prevents the compressor to load below 5 bar. Solenoid valve Y210B is
activated when high impact switch S446B is activated.
Instrumentation & fault indication L740, L740CR

The compressor air pressure delivered from the compressor can be read-off pressure gauge.
The compressor has also a temperature indicator-switch, B366, which automatically generate
a warning on the display if the compressor temperature has reached +117C, and cuts the
diesel engine if the compressor temperature has reached +120C.
Instrumentation & fault indication L830

The compressor air pressure delivered from the compressor can be read-off pressure gauge.
The compressor has also 2 temperature indicator-switches, B366A and B366B, which

Oil pre-heating L740, L740CR
Pump 2 is used for pre-heating the hydraulic oil
and the rock-drill impact components. Normal
operating temperature of the hydraulic oil is
40C. Before operating the drill rig the oil
should be pre-heated to minimum operating
temperature, 20C.
When switch S130 is in the pre-heating position,
solenoid valve Y121A and Y121B are activated.
Solenoid valves Y120A, Y120B and Y120C are
also activated in order to perform pre-heating.
Pre-heating the hydraulic oil:
When activating Y120A, pressure is generated
in the pressure chamber of 4x. This pressure is
limited by 4y to 170 bar. The flow of pump 2
goes through the shunt valve 4x with a pressure
of 170 bar + spring pressure (11 bar).
Pre-heating the rock-drill components:
Y120B blocks the impact return line from the
rock-drill, Y120C opens and oil flow from
pump 2 is fed through the hammer return line
and back to the tank through the hammer
pressure line.
Note: Its possible to tram the rig at the same
time warming up the hydraulic oil, solenoid
valve Y169 can also be activated when S130 in
pre-heating position.

Activation of drilling functions L740, L740CR
When S130 is in drilling position, Y121A and Y121B are not activated, Y169 is deactivated
to let through pilot pressure to the drilling circuits.
De-activation of Y121A:
- It allows pump 1 pressure to connect to LS/pump pressure line directly. If impact is
activated, the pump pressure will be according to the preset values of the
hammer/pump pressure pressure relief valves (47e and 47f) in the logic block. If
impact is not activated, the working pressure is limited by pressure relief valve 4d.
De-activation of Y121B:
- The pump 4 pressure supplied to positioning functions during tramming, is now used
for rotation function together with pump 2. This is simply to assist pump 2 for a better
rotation output.
De-activation of Y169:
- Pilot pressure is now led to the drill lever through logic valve and to the DCT circuit,
PLC output X11-1/OFF.
The Drilling functions such as Drill feed, Rapid feed, Rotation and Threading functions are all
controlled by one drill lever.

Drill feed
The drill feed circuit includes functions for feeding down- and upwards and controlling the
feed pressure during collaring and drilling. The hydraulic power is supplied from pump 1.
The Anti-Jamming circuit is described separately, see chapter Protective functions.
Drill feed direction, Up-/Downwards
The drill feed/rotation lever 45 controls the directional valve 4f via the logic block. Solenoids

Magnetic holding on rotation during drilling or/and feeding forwards can only be achieved
when the control lever is being pulled to the end position, and when S452 is not activated
(Led H452 = ON). Pulling the lever only half way and then release would result in lever
springed back to the neutral position, which also marks the end of the movement.
Conditions for drill feed with magnetic holding:

Switch S452 in feed/rotation mode, not activated => D550-CH11/OFF
Result in:
Relay K178/OFF
Y179A/B, H452 activated
To unlock the magnetic lock and get the lever back to the neutral sector, activate switch S453
or shift the lever to Rapid feed position with switch S452.
Conditions for deactivation of magnetic holding:
Switch S453 activated => D550-CH12/ON
OR
Switch S452 in rapid feed/threading mode => D550-CH11/ON
Result in:
Y179A/B deactivated
When switch S453 is pressed once on the drill lever the magnets will be temporarily
deactivated and the drill lever returns to neutral position which results in the actual feed and
rotation being switched off, with impact and air flushing remains on.
Magnetic holding can also be switched off once S452 is activated, thus shifting to rapid
feed/threading mode where magnetic holding is not supported. The actual impact and air
flushing at this point will also be switched off.
Note: Magnetic holding will be automatically reactivated after a delay of 0.2 seconds if
switch S453 is deactivated. This means that the next time the drill lever is moved to one of
these sectors (sector for drill feed or drill rotation), magnetic holding will be activated again.
40
Drilling functions
The feed circuit is supplied with oil from pump 1. In drill mode the electrical pilot valves
Y178A-F are not activated. When feed is activated with the drill lever the pilot pressure is
directed first via either directional valves Y178A or B depending on the choice of feed
direction, then via directional valve Y109 which changes the feed direction in case of antijamming and out to the directional valve in the drill feed block. Anti-jamming is described
later.
Main valve block 4
The pilot operated directional valve 4f in the main valve block, directs the hydraulic power to
the feed cylinder. The pilot operated pressure compensator 4e regulates the feed working
pressure.
Feed pressures
The pressure for forward feeding can be read on pressure gauge 33.
The feed pressure is generated from the system (Feed/Tram) pressure by pump 1, and it is
regulated by pressure relief valve 4d. When feeding forwards, the pressure relief valves 47a
or 47b limits the maximum pressure to the feed cylinder. If these pressure relief valves would
for some reasons fail to work, then the check valve 4n would limit the maximum pressure.
When feeding forwards during drilling, pressure compensator 4e in the main valve block is
controlled by either pressure relief valve 47a or 47b for low and high feed pressure
respectively. The impact switch control S446A and S446B determines which valve controls
the pressure as below:
41
Drilling functions
-
Low feed pressure (collaring)

When the impact control switch S446A is activated (impact pressure low), solenoid
valve Y101C is deactivated, which allows the low feed pressure relief valve 47a to
control pressure compensator 4e in the main valve block.
High feed pressure (drilling)
When the Impact control switch S446B is activated (impact pressure high), solenoid
valve Y101C is activated, which allows the high feed pressure valve 47b to control
pressure compensator 4e in the main valve block.
Feeding backwards
When feeding backwards, solenoid valve Y101C is deactivated, which allows the low
feed pressure relief valve 47a to control pressure compensator 4e in the main valve
block. But if feeding backwards is activated in connection with anti-jamming,
solenoid valve Y101C remains activated and the high feed pressure relief valve 47b
will control pressure compensator 4e in the main valve block.
Feed cylinder valve block 5

The feed valve block 5 contains one over-centre valve 5b. The overcentre valve 5b works as load holding valve when the cylinder is
pressurized for feeding forwards.
Feeding speed
The drill feed speed is set to correspond to a drill feed speed of 15
m/min upwards and 8 m/min downwards.

When switch S453 is pressed once on the drill lever the magnets will be temporarily

being switched off, with impact and air flushing remains on.
Magnetic holding can also be switched off once S452 is activated, thus shifting to rapid
feed/threading mode where magnetic holding is not supported. The actual impact and air
flushing at this point will also be switched off.
Note: Magnetic holding will be automatically reactivated after a delay of 0.2 seconds if
switch S453 is deactivated. This means that the next time the drill lever is moved to one of
these sectors (sector for drill feed or drill rotation), magnetic holding will be activated again.
When rotation is activated (with the drill lever) the pilot pressure is directed, via electrical
pilot valve Y178C or D depending on the choice of rotation direction, then to the directional
valve 4w in the main valve block. If clockwise rotation (for drilling) is activated the pilot
pressure passes via pilot valve Y178D through a flow regulator (see figure below) which
regulates the rotation speed for drilling. In ROC L740 and L740CR, the pilot pressure also
activates the DPC-I system. (For further information, refer to section DPC-I under chapter
Damper & DPC-I system.)
43
Drilling functions
Rotation speed
- L740 Anti-clockwise rotation (drilling); L740CR & L830 Clockwise rotation (drilling)
When the drill lever is in Drill-rotation position, the setting of the flow regulator
controls how much the directional valve 4w will open. The flow to the rock drill rotation
motor is proportional to the opening of the directional valve 4w.
- L740 Clockwise rotation; L740CR & L830 Anti-clockwise rotation
The drill lever controls the rotation speed. The main directional valve 4w opens in
correspondence to the lever angel. The flow regulator is not connected.
The adjustment knob for flow regulator can be seen in chapter Adjustment/calibration.
Rotation pressures
The rotation pressure is generated by pump 2 with the assistance of pump 4 when drilling.
Depending on the direction of rotation, the pressure relief valve 4u or 4t is activated to limit
the maximum pressure for clockwise and anti-clockwise rotation respectively.
L740: The maximum pressure for rotation anti-clockwise is limited to 125 bar (valve 4t), and
the maximum pressure of rotation clockwise is limited to 160 (valve 4u) bar.
L740CR & L830: The maximum pressure for rotation clockwise is limited to 125 (valve 4t)
bar, and the maximum pressure of rotation anti-clockwise is limited to 160 (valve 4u) bar.

Result in:
Relay K178/ON Y178 activated

In rapid feed mode the electrical pilot
valves Y178A-F are activated (see
figure right). When rapid feed is
activated with the drill lever the pilot
pressure is directed via solenoid
Y178A or B depending on the choice
of direction, to the directional valve in
the main valve block.
Main valve block 4
The proportional directional valve 4j
directs the hydraulic power to the feed
cylinder. The pilot operated pressure
compensator 4i regulates the rapid feed
working pressure.
Rapid feed pressures
The feed pressure for rapid feed is
generated from pump 1, and it is regulated by pressure relief valve 4d. Depending on the
direction of rapid feed, the pressure relief valves 4l or 4k limits the maximum pressure to the
feed cylinder, forward and reverse respectively. The maximum pressure for feed forward is
limited to 220 bar, and the maximum pressure of feed backward is limited to 170 bar. If these
pressure relief valves would for some reasons fail to work, then the check valves 4n and 4m
would limit the maximum pressure.
When rapid feeding forwards, the logic valve R is activated by the forward pilot pressure. The
return oil from the feed cylinder is being directed to both directional valve 4j for drainage
back to the tank and via the activated Y178F to logic-R for drainage back to the tank. This is
in order not to run all the return flow from the piston side though the directional control valve,
so the cylinder can reach a higher speed.
45
Drilling functions
Feed cylinder valve block 5
The feed valve block 5 contains one over-centre valve 5b. The over-centre valve 5b works as
load holding valve when the cylinder is pressurized for feeding forwards.
Logic valve P
When rapid feeding backwards, logic valve P is activated by the pilot pressure. The activated
logic valve blocks the forward feeding action, which is part of the threading function when
pulling the drill lever to the left in order to achieve some rotation (ex. when cleaning the
drilled hole). In other words, if logic-P is not activated, and rotation (anti-clockwise rotation
only, clockwise rotation would cause the threads to come loose) is needed for rapid feed
backwards. This would result in feed direction valve 4f giving out feed forward pressure and
rapid feed direction valve 4j giving out rapid feed backward pressure, logic-P blocks the pilot
signal to 4f.

Rapid feed stop activation

When the measured distance happens to equal to the distance set in
S113
the display, solenoid valves Y149 (backward) or Y150 (forward)
in the logic valve block is activated by PLC output X16-10 or
X17-2.
Solenoid valve Y149 gets activated by M2, M3 and M4, where as
solenoid valve Y150 only gets activated by M1. If any of the two
solenoid valves is activated, the pilot connection between the drill
lever 45 and the directional valve 4j for the corresponding rapid
feed direction will be blocked. Consequently the rapid feed
a
movement stops. The input from stop lower/upper uncoupling
(M2 & M3) will only result in a rapid feed stop if switch S113
(take up rod string) is activated, position (b). This is to allow the
cradle to be fast fed unstopped to the top when adding a drill steel. b
Once a feed stop is activated, the system holds the stop signal for
two seconds at each stop. If the lever is still being held in after two
seconds, the movement will start again.

Calibrating B172
In order for these build-in software stops to work, calibration sensor B104 is used to calibrate
the depth encoder B172. The depth encoder B172 is an optical encoder which through
sending out pulses defines the position of the cradle on the beam.
Note: The menu illustration shown does not

correspond to the actual position.
The distance to be entered in the display is the cradle travel distance between the rear end
mechanical stop and when the indicator plate actuates sensor B104. This value can be put in
manually or automatically.
Manual input
Operator needs to use a ruler to manually measure the distance between the front of the rock
drill cradle indicator plate and the calibration sensor B104, when the rock drill is in its rear
end stop.
Automatic input
The cradle needs to be moved back to the upper most position at the mechanical stop. To
carry out this movement, the drill lever needs to work in drill mode. Once the cradle has
reached the top end, reset the position of the cradle. Then mark the check-box for Auto set
sensor position, now move the drill lever forward slowly so the cradle can pass through the
calibration sensor B104 at a maximum speed of 4m/min. Once B104 is activated, a value is
presented on the display.
Note: Its recommended that both manual and automatic input is done to ensure a better
precision. This distance is a factory setting, it is not necessary to change the distance unless
sensor B104 has been moved, or if the rock drills rear-end mechanical stop has been
changed, i.e. if the feed ropes have been replaced or tensioned.
Calibration is done every time the cradle passes through B104 from above, a distance is then
achieved. This distance (measured by B172) is being compared with the preset value of B104
in the display. If these two distances differ from each other, the B104 value will then overwrite the B172 measured value, so measurement can be carried on correctly from this point.
In other words, B104 can be seen as a control factor in length measuring.

Threading
Threading and un-threading
When the lever is in the rapid feed/threading mode, magnetic holding is not available.
Conditions for threading/unthreading:

Switch S452 in rapid feed/threading mode, activated => D550-CH11/ON
Result in:
Relay K178/ON Y178 activated
Y179A/B deactivated
In threading mode the electrical pilot valves Y178A-F are activated just as in rapid feed
mode. The threading function is a combined activation of both drill feed and rock-drill
rotation by one lever stoke. When threading is activated with the drill lever the pilot pressure
is directed via the activated solenoid Y178C or D depending on the choice of threading
direction, and then to the directional valve in the drill feed and rotation block respectively.
Rod coupling feed pressures
Threading and unthreading functions need two different feed pressures since unthreading
requires higher pressure than threading. Pressure relief valves 47d and 47c control the
maximum rod coupling feed pressure for feed forward (L740: threading anti-clockwise;
L740CR & L830: threading clockwise) and backward (L740: unthreading clockwise;
L740CR & L830: unthreading anti-clockwise) respectively. Depending on the choice of
threading, pressure relief valves 47c and 47d will then in turn control pressure compensator
4e in the main valve block.
By pulling the lever to the left (threading), logic valve G is activated, which connects the feed
pressure to the pressure relief valve for thread feed forward 47d. And by pulling the lever to
the right (unthreading), logic valve H is activated, which connects the feed pressure to the
pressure relief valve for thread feed backward 47c.
Drill feed and rotation speed when threading
Rotation:
When rotation is activated by the threading lever, the flow regulator which controls the
rotation pilot pressure signal is excluded from the circuit. This means that the rotation speed is
on full rpm.
Feed:
As earlier mentioned in Rapid feed, all of the electrical pilot
valves Y178A-F are activated when the switch for switching
to rapid feed/threading S452 is activated. Y178A-D affect the
choice between drill and feed mode, and Y178E-F affect the
drill feed speed since it will be much slower than feed and
rapid feed. The feed speed can be changed by adjusting the
flow regulators 10 located in respective feed direction. They
shall be set to match the pitch of the drill string threads.

Impact with air flushing L740, L740CR

Conditions for the impact function:

Compressor load switch S180 must be on => D552-CH9/ON
Flushing air switch S100 in reduced or full position => D551-CH1/ON or OFF
Sensor B118 activated, RHS arm in carousel =>PLC input X10-5/ON
Impact switch S446A or S446B must be activated => D550-CH9/10/ON
The rock drill damper pressure must be between 45 and 120 bar. (DPC-I)
The impact circuit includes function for activating the rock drill impact mechanism and
controlling the pressure for collaring and drilling (low and high pressure). The circuit also
activates the Impact hour counter (a function of the HEC software in the display).
The hydraulic power is supplied from pump 1.
To protect the rock drill and drill steel, the DPC-I system can shut off or lower the impact
pressure if certain conditions are met. The DPC-I system is described separately, refer to
chapter Damper & DPC-I system.
Activation of Impact
Pressing the impact control switch S446A/B for longer than 0.5 seconds activates low
respective high impact under the condition that high impact is achieved after first using low
impact. Otherwise if starting directly on high impact, the button for high impact activation
S446B must be held in at all time. Logic valves I and J in the DPC-I system sense the rock
drill damper pressure. If the damper pressure is lower than the preset value of logic-I or
higher than the preset value of logic-J, the valves will prevent activation of impact.
When impact is activated, pump 1 system pressure is also led to logic valve B, which allows
any of the two impact pressure relief valves 47e and 47f to take control over the pump 1
pressure. In ROC L740CR, there is also a logic valve O that will stop/prevent impact when
feed pressure is below its preset value.
S446A/B controls the activation of solenoid valves Y115, Y116 in the air system, but it is
S100 that controls the combination of Y115 and Y116. Its recommended to keep S100
activated to allow full flushing air pressure as soon as S446 is activated. S100 should be
switched off (changing to reduced flushing air) only when drilling through a weaker complex
of the rock layer. S446A/B also control three solenoids valves in the hydraulic system,
Y101A, for activating impact, Y101B, for activating low impact, Y101C, for switching
between high/low feed pressure.
Impact hammer, feed and air pressures
- Low impact pressures
When the low impact control switch S446A is activated, the following will take place
in respect to all the pressures needed for the impact function. Led H446 will be
activated to give blinking signals.
Impact/pump 1 pressure:
Logic valve B is activated since solenoid valve Y101A is ON, logic valve E is not
activated since solenoid valve Y101B is ON. This connects the pump 1 Loading
Sensing line to the low impact relief valve 47e.

Air flushing:
Solenoid valve Y116 (or Y116+Y115) is activated to engage reduced (or full) air
pressure depending on the status of Y100, and the air pressure is directed to the
regulating valve for air pressure regulation.
Drill feed:
The drill feed low pressure solenoid valve Y101C is not activated in order to engage
low feed pressure.

High impact pressure

When the high impact control switch S446B is activated, the following will take place
activated to give stable signal.
Impact/pump1 pressure:
Logic valve B is activated since solenoid valve Y101A is ON, logic valve E is
activated since solenoid valve Y101B is OFF, logic valve D is activated by rotation
pressure, and damper pressure now meets logic valve A. If the damper pressure is high
enough to overcome the preset value of logic-A, pump 1 Load Sensing line is
connected to the high impact relief valve 47f. Otherwise logic-A is deactivated, thus
connecting the pump 1 Load Sensing line to the low impact relief valve 47e.
Air flushing:
Solenoid valve Y116 (or Y116+Y115) is activated to engage reduced (or full) air
pressure depending on the status of Y100, and the air pressure is directed to the
regulating valve for air pressure regulation.
Drill feed:
The drill feed low pressure solenoid valve Y101C is now activated in order to engage
high feed pressure, under the condition that the RPC-F valve logic-B is not activated.
Refer to RPC-F under Protective functions.
Deactivation of impact
Impact can be deactivated by pressing S446A/B for shorter than 0.5 seconds. If the lever is
situated in magnetic holding position, impact will be switched off with the lever returning to
the neutral position, thus also switching off feed, rotation and air flushing.

valve set to 18 bar via the un-activated compressor high pressure solenoid valve
Y210B.

When solenoid valve Y175 (PLC output X17-15) is activated, it is not open
to allow pump 1 impact pressure to affect the stroke position valve in the rock-drill, the rockdrill will use long stroke length. When Y175 is deactivated, it is open to the pump 1 impact
pressure line and the rock-drill will use the short stroke length.
Which position to use has to be decided from the rock condition. Drilling in softer formations,
each stroke can contain more energy than can be absorbed by the rock. In such cases it can be
better to use only the short stroke length.

Function
ECL pump Y106 starts to pump as soon as Impact is turned ON. The ECL pump is an
electrical piston pump, controlled by the PLC output X17-9 which sends out pulses to the
pump. Lubrication oil is then fed through a small plastic hose inside the air hose to the rock
drill, where the oil and air are mixed. A pressure reducing valve set to 5.5 bar limits the
amount of air used for the ECL system. The ECL lubrication pressure gauge is located in the
cabin. There are two sensor switches which control the ECL oil collection pressure, B381 for
limiting the low collection pressure and B382 for limiting the high collection pressure. The
ECL oil collection system is optional.
Conditions for the ECL function:

Impact switch S446A or S446B must be activated, to obtain percussion => D550CH9/10/ON
Result in:
PLC output X17-9/ON => Y106 activated
Note: The ECL pump works for an extended time after the percussion is switched off.
This time delay can be adjusted via the HEC3 display.

Damper & DPC-I system
L740, L740CR

Damper
The rock-drill damper circuit is supplied with oil from Pump1 through a constant flow
regulator. The flow regulator is adjusted to correspond to a pressure of 25 bar at the damper
hose connection on the rock-drill.
The damper pressure during drilling shows the actual feed force on the drill bit. The pressure
can be read on the pressure gauge in the cabin. During drilling, the damper pressure controls
certain logic valves, which in turn controls the impact pressure (hammer pressure). This is
described below as the DPC-I system.
Adjusting the damper pressure
Adjustment of the damper pressure must be done with the damper piston in its rested, forward
position. To ensure this, the shank adapter can be pulled out to its most forward position.
Adjustment of the damper pressure should only be done with the hydraulic oil has reached
normal working temperature, 40C (104F).
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 in its
forward position, i.e. the damper piston is in
its forward position.
4. Turn switch S130 to Drilling position.
5. Loosen the lock screw (8b) and adjust the
damper pressure by turning the adjustment
screw (8a) clockwise to decrease and anticlockwise to increase the pressure.
6. Tighten the lock screw when the correct setting is achieved.
Read on the gauge on the damper connection the pressure should be:
COP 4050 & COP 4050CR, 25 bar
The corresponding pressure read on the cabin gauge: (happens to be higher than the one read
on the damper connection because it has a smaller pressure drop)
COP 4050 & COP 4050CR, 30 bar
NOTE! The percussion should stop if the damper pressure exceeds 120 bar of if it is lower
than 45 bar.
Warning! Wronged adjusted damper pressure can cause damage to rock-drill, drill rig and
drill string. Adjustments should only be performed by a qualified Atlas Copco
service technician.
59
L740, L740CR
DPC-I System
Function
The DPC-I system (Damper Pressure Controlled Impact) controls the impact function by
sensing the damper pressure during drilling. Depending on the damper pressure, impact can
be allowed, stopped or changed between high and low impact pressure. This is done by a
number of logic valves in the rig hydraulic system.
Logic-I. Prevents activation of impact if the damper pressure is below 45 bar, or stops
impact if the damper pressure drops below 45 bar in case of, e.g., hose rupture, valve
malfunction or drilling into cavity.
Logic-J. Stops impact if the damper pressure exceeds 120 bar in case of, e.g., excessive
feed pressure or mechanical failure of the damper.
Logic-A. During normal drilling with high impact pressure, the logic proportional valve A
is activated by the damper pressure through logic valve D. If the damper pressure falls
below the preset value of logic-A, it is deactivated. The Pump 1 pressure provided by the
high impact relief valve 47f is then connected to the low impact relief valve 47e, thus the
low impact relief valve 47e controls the pump pressure.
ROC L740CR:
Logic-O. Allows activation of impact when the feed pressure has reached 45 bar and stops
impact when feeding backwards or entering a cavity in the rock.
Warning! Wronged adjusted damper pressure can cause damage to rock-drill, drill rig and
drill string. Adjustments should only be performed by a qualified Atlas Copco
service technician.
Setting the DPCI system
The DPCI system can be adjusted either in the workshop or on the drill site. Adjusting in the
workshop generally gives a more exact setting. On the other hand, adjusting during drilling
can result in a setting well adapted to the rock conditions and other system settings.
In general, logic-I and logic-O should be set as high as possible without making it difficult to
start impact.

Setting during drilling L740

Logic-I, Setting during drilling:
1. Check that the damper pressure is adjusted according to Adjusting the damper pressure.
2. Start drilling on low impact pressure and collaring feed pressure.
3. Adjust the feed pressure slowly towards 0 while observing the damper pressure gauge.
4. When the damper pressure drops below 45 bar as a result of the low feed pressure, impact should be
stopped automatically.
5. If needed, adjust logic-I CW to increase the setting or CCW to decrease it.
6. Test the function by starting drilling on low impact pressure and collaring feed pressure. When the drill
cradle comes to a stop against the mechanical end stop, impact should shut of immediately. If not, the
setting of logic-I should be increased.
NOTE! The setting of logic-I should be the highest possible without making it difficult to start impact. This
means that high collaring feed and damper pressures calls for a higher setting of logic-I.
Logic-A, Setting during drilling:

2. Start drilling. Make a good collaring, and then activate high impact pressure.

Logic-D. It is activated by the pilot signal for drill rotation anti-clockwise. This means
that the DPC-I system is only in effect when drill rotation is active. When logic-D is
closed to damper pressure it is open to the Pump 1 system pressure. This means that when
rotation is not active, the impact pressure will be according to the position of the impact
control switch S446A/B, irrespective of the damper pressure.
Logic-C. It is activated through Y101B (impact low pressure activated) or when feeding
backwards. This excludes logic-E from getting activated. Consequently, in these cases
there can only be low impact pressure. Feeding backwards and activating impact is the
case when back hammer function is switched on. It does not matter which impact button
(high or low) is pushed, the impact pressure will stay low anyway.
Note: Impact pressure has the same pressure as the pump pressure, since impact pressure
comes from pump 1. In the diagram they are being distinguished by two different colours to
identify their own circuits.
When activating button S446B for high impact, solenoid valve Y101A is then activated. The
oil from Y101A activates logic-B, allowing the pump pressure to come through. The adequate
damper pressure activates logic-I, leading the impact pressure to logic-Q and logic-E. The
activated logic-Q ensures the hammer pressure gets delivered. The activated logic-E leads the
pump pressure to pressure relief valve 47f under the condition that logic-A is activated.
The meaning with DPC-I is that the pump 1 pressure is controlled by the damper pressure.
The adequate damper pressure activates logic-A when anti-clockwise rotation is active. But
when the damper pressure falls below the preset valve of logic-A (adjustable), the pump
pressure is then led from pressure relief valve 47f to 47e. (see figure above)

2. Disable logic-O by turning its adjustment screw 3-4 turns CCW. If this is not done, impact will be
stopped due to too low feed pressure during the setting of logic-I.
3. Start drilling on low impact pressure and collaring feed pressure.
4. Adjust the feed pressure slowly towards 0 while observing the damper pressure gauge.
5. When the damper pressure drops below 45 bar as a result of the low feed pressure, impact should be
stopped automatically.
6. If needed, adjust logic-I CW to increase the setting or CCW to decrease it.
7. Verify that impact can not be activated without rock contact, and that impact can be activated when the
bit is pressed against the rock with collaring feed pressure.
8. Readjust logic-O by turning its adjustment screw CW the same number of turns as it was turned CCW
in point 1, or according to instruction.
9. Test the function by going into the display and change the setting for impact stop (position M0) by
adding 0.5 m in menu Rapid feed stop. This will deactivate the automatic impact stop. Write down
the original setting! Impact should then cease immediately when the rock drill cradle stops against the
mechanical end stop. If not, the setting of logic-I should be increased.
10. Re-enter the parameter setting for impact stop.
NOTE! The setting of logic-I should be the highest possible without making it difficult to start impact. This
means that high collaring feed and damper pressures calls for a higher setting of logic-I.
NOTE! Excessive drilling with too low feed pressure can cause damage to COPROD sections and rock
drill.
Logic-O, Setting during drilling:

1. Start drilling on low impact pressure and your normal collaring feed pressure.
2. Adjust logic-O CW until impact is stopped and then CCW until impact just starts again.

4. Restart drilling and check that impact starts easily. If not, the setting of logic-O may need to be
lowered slightly.
NOTE! The setting of logic-O should be the highest possible without making it difficult to start impact.

Dust collector, DCT

Conditions for the DCT suction functions:

Sensor B118 activated, RHS arm in carousel => PLC input X10-5/ON
Flushing/Impact switch S446A or S446B must be activated, in either flushing or
impact mode => D550-CH9/10/ON
Switch S181 must be in suction position => D552-CH12/ON
The DCT system includes functions for starting the fan, controlling suction ON/OFF and
cleaning the filters. The hydraulic power is supplied from pump 3.
DCT hydraulic system

When the drilling/tramming switch S130 is in drilling position, it activates DCT fan motor
solenoid Y250. This means that the fan is running as soon as the switch is in drilling position
but there will not be any suction until the fan housing outlet is opened. The running speed of
the DCT fan motor 14 is set by the pressure relief valve 13a to around 5800 rpm @ 150 bar
for L740, L740CR; and to around 5000 rpm @ 150 bar for L830.
The speed can be changed by adjusting the screw on pressure relief valve 13a.
When the fan motor is stopped by turning switch S130 away from drilling position, the pilot
operated relief valve 13b acts as a brake. It creates counter pressure in the return line when it
is no longer pilot opened by the pump pressure and is set to stop the fan wheel in 8 seconds.
The stop time can be changed by adjusting the screw on pressure relief valve 13b.
The fan motor drain connection is fitted with restrictor 15 to keep a sufficient amount of oil
inside the housing for cooling purposes.
Figure: example, DCT circuits from L740 & L740CR

Dust collector, DCT
DCT electrical system

Starting the DCT suction
The fan housing outlet is operated by a hydraulic cylinder controlled by solenoid valve Y253.
Y253 is controlled by PLC output X18-7, and will be activated if S181 is ON (input D551CH12) and S446 is in reduced or full air/impact position (input D550 CH-9/10). To activate
flushing air only, press S446A for shorter than 0.5 seconds, to start impact, press S446A for
longer than 0.5 seconds. Normally, switch S181 is kept in the ON position to allow the
suction to be automatically controlled by the impact switch.
DCT filter cleaning
When PLC output X18-7 is activated, it also activates the four filter cleaning valves Y251AD alternately. The filter cleaning valves quickly opens and closes to create pressure shocks of
compressed air to clean the filters.
The length of each cleaning pulse can be adjusted in the Time pulse data entry field in the
display. The time between each pulse can be adjusted in the Pulses/minute data entry field
in the display. The pulse time is set to 0.5 seconds (can be set up to 1 second) and the pulse
can be set between 6 to 20 times per minute, depending on moisture of the drill dust. If the
dust is moist the pulse is set to maximum 20 times, if the drill dust is very dry the pulse time
is set to minimum 6 times. Factory setting is 10 pulses/minute.
When the DCT switch S181 is OFF or when impact is shut off by S446, the control system
activates valves Y251A-D simultaneously to clean the DCT filters. The cleaning time can be
adjusted in the Extended time data entry field in the display.

The air supply to the DCT is limited to 7 bar by pressure reducing valve and protected by a
8.5 bar safety valve. Solenoid valves Y251A-D opens alternately to clean the DCT filters.

RPC-F system L740
RPC-F, Rotation Pressure Controlled Feed.
When drilling, the drill string must have a certain rotation torque in order to keep all the rod
couplings tightened. Loosened joints increases the loss of impact energy transmitted to the
drill bit and leads to damage of the threads with drill steel breakage as a possible result.
However, too high rotation torque also has disadvantages:
The couplings can get over-tightened, which makes it
difficult to loosen the couplings when withdrawing the drill
string.
Higher load on the rock drills rotation driver, thus shorter
life length.
Jerky rotation could cause the anti-jamming to activate
often.
Rotation torque is achieved by feed force, and will vary
depending on different rock layers. The RPC-F system will
adapt the feed force during drilling, maintaining only the
required rotation torque. The RPC-F valve, 44, senses the
pressure in the rotation circuit (rotation torque) and varies the
feed pressure between the settings of the high feed pressure
valve 47b and the low feed pressure valve 47a to maintain the
required rotation torque.
The working relation between RPC-F and anti-jamming is that, RPC-F tries to prevent the
activation of anti-jamming. But once RPC-F can not bear it anymore, i.e. the drill-bit gets
stuck, anti-jamming takes over the control over feed and rotation pressure while maintaining
the required rotation torque.
70
Anti-Jamming system
Devices
The drill rig is equipped with two types of anti-jamming device.
Flushing air flow switch L740, L740CR
Rotation pressure switch All types
Both changes the direction of feed from forward to backward, if activated by insufficient
flushing air or too high rotation pressure, in order to avoid getting stuck.
Logic function of drill lever
Since the anti-jamming inverts the feed direction, pulling the drill lever for feeding backwards
would result in feed forward movement. To avoid this there is a pressure switch, B262,
connected to the pilot pressure line for feed backwards. B262 is connected to PLC input X1616, which, when active, inhibits the anti-jamming output X11-11.
Flushing air flow switch, B142 L740, L740CR
Conditions for the flow switch activated anti jamming function:

Flushing air switch S100 must be in full flushing position => D551-CH1/ON
Flushing/Impact switch S446A or S446B must be activated, in either flushing or
impact mode => D550-CH9/10/ON
Pressure switch B262 not activated => PLC input X16-16/OFF
Signal from flow switch B142 => PLC input X11-7/ON
Result in:
PLC output X11-11/ON => Solenoid Y109 activated
NOTE: The anti-jamming will be activated for at least 2 sec.
The flow switch is connected after the flushing air
valves and senses the pressure drop over a
restriction, venture pipe, in the flushing air line.
The difference in pressure between the two
connections is keeping the contact of the flow
switch open.
A too small or lost flow, e.g. if the drill-bit is
clogged, means that the pressure drop decreases or
is lost. This will allow the contact to close and
send a signal to PLC input X11-7. Given this
signal, the PLC output X11-11 activates solenoid
Y109, which inverts the pilot signal from the drill
lever. In such an event, the rock-drill will reverse
the feed direction until the pressure drop/air flow
is back to normal. When drilling is re-started after
an anti-jamming action, it will be on collaring
pressures for a period of 4 seconds before going
back to full pressures.
71
Adjusting B142 L740, L740CR
The flushing air flow switch can only be set during drilling and only with full flushing air
activated.
1. Unscrew the cover of the flow switch.
2. Drill almost down to the greatest depth that will be drilled on the site. Make sure full
flushing is activated, switch S100, position (a). (see figure below)
3. Turn the adjustment screw (1) anti-clockwise until the rock-drill starts to back up. The
higher the figure on the adjustment scale, the more sensitive the flow switch will be.
Factory setting is 30 mbar.
4. Turn the adjustment screw (1) back clockwise until the rock-drill returns downwards.
5. Drill another whole to verify that the flow switch is not unintentionally activated due
to too sensitive setting. If so, back the adjustment screw off a little bit more.
6. Assemble the cover of the flow switch.
When changing dimension of drill-bit or drill steel, or if the hole depth is changed, it can be
necessary to re-adjust the flow switch in order to maintain a good anti-jamming protection.

Rotation pressure switch, B134 L740, L740CR, L830

Conditions for the rotation pressure activated anti-jamming function:

Pressure switch B262 not activated => PLC input X16-16/OFF
Signal from pressure switch B134 => PLC input X11-6/ON
Result in:
PLC output X11-11/ON => Solenoid Y109 activated
NOTE: The anti-jamming will be activated for at least 2 sec.
The rotation pressure switch B134 senses the rotation pressure during drilling. A drastically
increased rotation pressure can be an indication that the drill bit is getting stuck. If the rotation
pressure exceeds the preset value of the rotation pressure switch which is 80 bar (factory
setting), the rotation pressure switch will be activated and send a signal to PLC input X11-6.
Given this signal, the PLC output X11-11, which inverts the pilot signals from the drill lever
by activating solenoid valve Y109. The result is that the rock-drill reverses the feed direction
until the rotation pressure has dropped below the set value. When drilling is re-started after an
anti-jamming action, it will be on collaring pressures for a period of 4 seconds before going
back to full pressures.
72
Adjusting B134
Setting of the activation pressure of the anti-jamming is done on the pressure switch B134
itself. The activation pressure can be difficult to adjust during drilling because it is usually
difficult to force the rotation pressure high enough. In stead, a simulation can be done.
Warning! During the setting, the rock-drill will reverse automatically.
1. Turn the knob for adjustment of the drill rotation speed anti-clockwise until the spring
pressure is released. The rotation speed will now be 0 rpm.
2. For CR and DTH: Feed the rock drill down until the coupling sleeve of the drill steel is in
the upper break out table. Close the upper break out table to lock the sleeve.
For TH: Feed the rock drill down until the drill bit is in the upper drill steel support. Close
the upper drill steel support to lock the drill bit.
4. Activate drill feed.
5. Slowly turn the rotation speed control
clockwise while observing the drill rotation
pressure gauge. When the pressure exceeds the
preset value of the pressure switch B134, the
feed direction will change. This can be seen as
the feed pressure turns to 0 and the rock drill
tries to pull out of the drill steel support.
6. Turn the rotation speed control anti-clockwise
to lower the rotation pressure and allow the feed
to change back to downwards.
7. If the setting needs to be changed this can be
done by turning the adjustment screw on B134
clockwise to increase the activation pressure or
anti-clockwise to decrease it.
8. Repeat point 1 6 to verify the new setting.
9. Re-adjust the rotation speed to normal.
Feed & pump pressure during anti-jamming L740, L740CR
Impact/pump 1 pressure:
When feed backwards is automatically activated during anti-jamming, PLC deactivates
output X11-9 for impact activation. This deactivates Y101A, and leaves logic valve B idle
hence blocking the access to the pressure relief valves 47e and 47f which control the pump
1 pressure. The pump 1 system pressure is then limited by pressure relief valve 4d,
together with the delta-p pressure, pump 1 will be working at 250 bar (LS return line +
delta-p).
Feed pressure:
The pump 1 pressure going to the drill feed directional valve 4f is then being limited by a
check valve 4m set to 190 bar for feeding backwards.

Length measurement
Length measurement
Hole depth measurement
Data from pulse sensor B172 is handled for measuring
hole length, with stop signal for drilling when 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 view to the right (figure 2, 3)
shows actual length/depth of the hole.
Hole length is the actual number of metres that
have been drilled.
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 value in the square box shows the required hole
length/hole depth. The length or depth can be set from
0.1m- 99.9m. When the hole has reached the required
depth/length the PLC automatically sets the drill output
low. The drilling can continue by restarting the
drilling functions.

The second row displays the penetration rate.

The third row displays the position of the drill bit.
EXAMPLE: If the hole is 10m the first row shows

The hole length measurement system works in close relation with sensor B104. Every time
the cradle passes through sensor B104 from above, the cradle position is being calibrated, so
the cradle always finds itself at the correct position on the beam. Refer to section Rapid
feed, paragraph Calibrating B172 for more information.
74
Length measurement
Basic conditions for measurement:
Correct length of drill steel must be chosen 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.
During rod handling, the HEC system pause the drill length/depth measuring. This means that
negative distance created when backing up to add a new rod is not taken into consideration by
the system.
The start of the pause is defined by a signal coming from a pressure switch B128 along with
other conditions (see below). B128 is activated when unthreading the rock drill from the rod.
Conditions for blocking:
Upper drill steel support closed (for RHS 102); lower break out table closed (for RHS
140).
Unthreading activated => B128 activated.
Impact interrupted.
To exit standby and re-enter measuring mode after adding a drill steel, the following
conditions must be fulfilled.
Conditions for restarting measurement after rod handling:
Upper drill steel support opened (for RHS 102); lower break out table opened (for
RHS 140).
Impact activated.
The cradle must be retracted to the upper position, i.e. 90% of the length for the
chosen rod.
Drill stop activation for reached depth

Drill stop activation for reached depth is a build-in function of the HEC system. When the
drilled metre on the display
equals to the metre that has been entered
, all
drilling functions will be stopped. The drill lever is then automatically shifted to rapid
feed/threading mode.

To drill centre with a rod
CLAIM: The carousel loaded, the grippers are in the carousel holding on to the rod which is
going to moved, the initial holding state should be hard grip.
76
L740
Control lever S111 is mechanically latched during this movement, that is to say one push on
the lever and the lever stays there, instead of a spring return to centre position. With the lever
in position it will carry out the whole movement until the rod is moved into the drill centre.
The function has been introduced to prevent grippers to automatically switch to loose grip
moved into the drill centre.
Loose grip can be achieved by pulling the lever back to the neutral position, when the arm
reached its end position (drill centre).
Hard grip stage

NOTE! Always put the rod grippers in loose grip before the threads meet in order to let the
rod in the rod gripper rotate. The threads will otherwise be easily damaged.
Additional conditions:
- Sensor B118 activated, PLC input X10-5/ON. (Arm in carousel.)
- The rod grippers should be in hard grip during this movement as the PLC output X128 and X12-3 are OFF. This is also the normal condition of the grippers.
- RHS control lever S111 to position (b), input D551-CH3/ON.
When all the conditions are met, these two functions will take place in its order:
Solenoid valve Y301B will be activated by PLC output X12-5. The cylinder speed is
limited by restrictors 82. (Rod transfer towards dill centre starts.)
When the rod transfer arm have reached position drill centre, sensor B120 will be
activated, PLC input X10-3/ON. This results in:
PLC output X12-5/ON, Y301B activated. (Rod transfer towards drill centre
stops mechanically.)

To carousel without a rod
CLAIM: The carousel could still have rods in it or not, arm has to move back to carousel in
order to get the next rod to drill; also to allow drilling.
- Sensor B120 activated, PLC input X10-3/ON. (Arm in drill centre.)
- RHS control lever S111 top button pushed, input D551-CH6/ON. The rod grippers
should be in open grip during this movement.
- RHS control lever S111 to position (a), input D551-CH2/ON.
When all the conditions are met, this function will take place:
Solenoid valve Y300 will be activated by PLC output X12-3. (Rod grippers are open.)
Solenoid valve Y301A will be activated by PLC output X12-4. The cylinder speed is
limited by restrictors 82. (Arm transfer towards carousel starts.)
When the rod transfer arm have reached position carousel, sensor B118 will be activated,

L740
To drill centre without a rod
CLAIM: The carousel could be empty or not, the grippers are in hard grip state in carousel.
This is the case when drilling has been done, rods are being pulled out and need to
be picked up from the drill centre.
Loose grip is needed first when the grippers have been moved into the drill centre, because
only loose grip can allow the upper rod to rotate out of the lower rod/drill bit which is being
held in the drill steel support. Loose grip can be achieved by pulling the lever to the neutral
position. Manual switching is needed here since the lever is latched in this position.
Once the upper rod has been unthreaded, hard grip needs to be activated in order to allow the
rock drill to be unthreaded. Hard grip can be achieved by pulling the lever backwards to the
arm to drill centre position, thus breaking the conditions for loose grip.

Carousel rotation
The rod gipper arms must be in carousel position, sensor switch B118 ON, PLC input
X10-5/ON.
RHS control lever S111, top button pushed, input X550-CH6/ON.
RHS control lever S111, to position (c) or (d), input X550-CH4 or CH5/ON.
The carousel stop positions are determined by the two sensors B182 (CCW) and B183 (CW).
The carousel rotation motor solenoid valve Y303A/B is activated by PLC output X15-2
(CWW) and X15-1 (CW).
When rotation is activated it will continue until the corresponding sensor is activated, giving
input to PLC X14-8 and X13-1 respectively. The rotation speed is limited by restrictors 84.
To facilitate the rotation of the carousel, the rod grippers must be the rod grippers must be at
the carousel position to allow rotation, i.e. B118 activated.
Rod grippers
There are three rod gripper positions, which are controlled by
solenoid valves Y300 and Y306.
o Hard grip
None. Hard grip is the normal state of the grippers. None of the
solenoid valves are activated with the result that system pressure,
200 bar, is acting to keep the gripper closed.
o Open grippers
RHS control lever S111, top button pushed, input X550CH6/ON.
Solenoid valve Y300 is activated by PLC output X12-3.
o Guide grip (loose grip)
RHS control lever S111 must be in middle position, no signal
from the RHS switch to the PLC.
Sensor B120 activated, PLC input X10-3/ON.
Guide grip can only be achieved when the rod grippers are in the
drill-centre position and when there is no signal from RHS switch
to the PLC.
Solenoid valve Y306 in the guide grip valve block 80, is activated
by PLC output X12-8. In this case, the gripper pressure is set by
the pressure relief valve 80a set to 10 bar (adjustable, see figure right and below). The 0.6 mm
restrictor 80b limits the amount of oil passing over the relief valve.
The pressure to the cylinders would be just enough to support the weight of the drill rod
without obstructing the rod from rotating in the grippers.

L740
Sleeve retainer (Option)

Sleeve retainer switch S182 ON, input D551-CH13/ON.
Solenoid valve Y309 is activated by PLC output X15-3. The cylinder speed is limited by
restrictors 83. The sleeve retainer can only be folded out when the rod grippers are in drill
centre position and in hard grip mode. The rod transfer movements which include arm to
carousel function are electrically blocked as long as the sleeve retainer is activated.
Drill steel supports & suction hood

Conditions for these functions:
The Drilling/Tramming switch S130 must be in drilling position
o Drill steel supports, upper and lower
The drill steel supports are controlled by switches S119 (upper) and S187 (lower), which
operates solenoid valves Y361A-B and Y350A-B respectively. The cylinder speed is
limited by restrictors 85 and 86.
o Suction hood
The suction hood is controlled by switch S167, which operates solenoid valve Y357. The
hydraulic pressure downwards is limited by pressure reducing valve 88 set to 40 bar, and
the cylinder speed is limited by restrictor 87.
NOTE: Its important that during drilling, the drill steel supports should be carefully operated
to prevent the drill rods colliding with them.
Service winch (Option)

The service winch is a pure hydraulic function that works aside of the PLC. Solenoid valve
Y208 controls the moving direction of the winch, and it is activated by a lever that sits on the
lower drill steel support.

Extractor unit (Option)

The extractor function of the rock-drill consists of a hydraulic piston in the front part of the
rock-drill and a logic valve for the activation of it, the unit is also known as the back hammer.
The hydraulic power is supplied from Pump 1.
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 string and drill bit. 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.
The extractor piston lifts the shank-adapter to enable the impact piston to reach it when
feeding backwards in a jam situation (see picture below).
extractor
piston
shank
adapter
impact piston
Activating the extractor

During normal drilling, with a damper pressure above 50 bar, logic-L closes the extractor
return connection and the system is closed. The main reason is to minimize oil consumption
and heat.
In case of a sudden loss of damper pressure, e.g. drilling into weak formations or cavity,
logic-L opens. This allows the extractor piston to move forward to avoid being hit by the
flange on the shank adapter. At the same time, the oil trapped in front of the extractor piston
serves as a cushion to prevent from mechanical contact between piston and front. When the
damper pressure drops, the impact pressure will be reduced or cut off by the DPC-I system.
When feeding backwards, the feed force works in the other direction as the shank adapter
extends out of the rock-drill since it is stuck, logic-L opens due to the loss of damper pressure
and the extractor system is pressurized since the extractor piston is pulled by the shank
adapter to close the outlet ducts in the extractor housing. When pressurized, the extractor
piston lifts the shank adapter high enough to be struck by the impact piston. Once the impact
piston hits the shank adapter, backward shock wave would be generated from the extractor
piston thus causing the reverse percussion.
91
L740
When feeding backwards, the damper pressure

is below the minimum limit to allow impact,
set by the DPC-I system. To make it possible
to activate impact when using the extractor it
is necessary to override the DPC-I system.
This is done by push-button S451, which
activates solenoid valve Y176, which bypasses logic valves I and J. Consequently,
impact can be activated at any damper
pressure.
The oil flow to the extractor unit is limited by
flow regulator 9 to correspond to a pressure of
22 bar with unloaded shank adapter and logicL not activated. The pressure can be read on
gauge outlet 8 on the service panel.
S451
Pump pressure when using the extractor

It should be noticed that only low hammer/pump pressure is available when using back
hammer function. Logic valve C gets activated by reverse feed pilot pressure if high impact is
activated (see figure below left); and by pump pressure if low impact is activated (see figure
below right), this prevents activation of logic-E. Without logic-E being activated, the pump
pressure line going through logic-B will only lead oil to pressure relief valve 47e for pump 1
pressure control.

TED-Extractor unit for COPROD (Option)
L740CR
TED-Extractor unit for COPROD (Option)
The Rock drill can be equipped with a separate, air-powered extractor unit. The function of
the extractor unit is to generate and transmit reverse percussion into the housing and thereby
to the drill string and bit.
The extractor unit, which is fitted in front of the rock drill, is powered by the flushing air.
93
Water mist system (Option)

Water mist can only be activated with reduced flushing air.
Water-mist system 225 Litres

The 225 litre water-mist system is a pressurized system. The water is injected into the
flushing air after it has been pressurized by the compressed air.
The system consists of:
1. Tank
2. Safety valve
3. Drain valve
4. Blow down valve
5. Isolation valve
6. Filter
7. Needle valve
8. Solenoid valves
9. Check valves
The system is controlled by switch S448 as follows:

OFF None of the solenoid valves Y112A-B are activated.
AUTO Solenoid valve Y112A is activated. The amount of water
injected is limited by the needle valve 7.
MANUAL Both of solenoid valves Y112A-B are activated. The
amount of water injected is limited by the isolation valve 5.
b

The water-mist system is primarily used for hole stabilization and dust
control by adding water into the flush air. Generally a small amount of
water is used in order to make the drill dust moist and bind into larger
particles, for dust control, or to bind to the hole wall, for hole
stabilization. In this case switch S448 should be in position AUTO (b).
The amount of injected water should be adjusted by the needle valve to
match the dust characteristics. Different settings may be necessary on
different sites and different applications.
If there is a need to add a larger amount of water, for example when
entering a clay pocket, switch S448 can be pushed to MANUAL
position (a). The MANUAL position springs back to AUTO when
released.
c
d
a
S181
When the hole is stabilized or the dust is under control, S448 should
be switched back to OFF position (c).
b
To prevent clogging of suction hoses and dust collector filters when

using water-mist, the dust collector suction (switch S181) should be
switched off (position b) if the dust is very wet or if water is flushing out of the hole.
94
Water-mist system 400 Litres

The 400 litre water-mist system is a non-pressurized system. The
water is pumped into the flushing air circuit by a pneumatic
piston pump.
The system consists of:
1. Tank
2. Pneumatic piston pump
3. Solenoid valves
4. Drain valve
5. Isolation valve
6. Filter
7. Needle valve
8. Check valves
The system is controlled by switch S448 as follows:
OFF None of the solenoid valves Y112A-C are activated.
AUTO Solenoid valve Y112A is activated. Y112A
activates the pump. The amount of air to power the pump is
limited by the needle valve 7.
MANUAL All of the solenoid valves Y112A-B are
activated. The amount of air to power the pump is limited by
the isolation valve 5.
BLOW OFF Double push on S448 forwards to blow out all
the water remaining in the system so the hose does not
freeze.

ECG, thread lubrication with oil (Option)
L740
ECG, thread lubrication with oil (Option)

Function
The ECG pump Y107 starts pumping as soon as Flushing air is turned ON. The ECG pump is
an electrical piston pump, controlled by the PLC output X11-16 which sends out pulses to the
pump. ECG injects a small amount of lubricating oil into the flushing air. The oil creeps along
the walls of the flushing hole and out into the threaded joints. Atlas Copco recommends the
use of COP OIL for all ECG and ECL lubrication.
Conditions for the ECG function:

Impact switch S446A or S446B must be activated, to obtain air flushing => D550CH9/10/ON
Result in:

Thread lubrication with grease brushes (Option)
L740

Function
Lubrication of the drill steel threads is done by two brushes (A) mounted on the lower RHS
carousel bracket.
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 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 drilling control panel.
A
Conditions for the automatic function:
Brush greasing switch S449 in automatic mode, position (b) => D554-CH10/ON
RHS control lever S111 in arm to drill centre position => D551-CH3/ON
Result in:
PLC output X17-9/ON => Y552 activated for 2 seconds
When S449 is put in manual mode, no input from S111 is needed to cause the activation of
Y552.
97
L740
Operating
In normal operation, the system works in automatic mode. The grease pump is activated
when the rod handling lever S111 is in position to transfer a rod to drill centre. The result
is that each time a rod is removed from the carousel, a quantity of lubricant is pumped into
the brushes that the threads of the drill rod pass through.
If there is a need to additional grease, the system can be run manually. In this case the
grease pump is activated as long as switch S449 is kept in position (a).
If there is no need for thread greasing the system can be turned off by putting switch S449
in position (c).

The maximum pressure to the pump is adjusted to 7 bars by the pressure regulator 21 which is
displayed by the pressure gauge 22. The system can be switched off by blocking the air
supply with ball cock valve 8 or by the electrical switch in the cabin.
We recommend the use of Atlas Copco Secoroc thread lubricant A for the lubrication of
drill steel threads.
98
Spray greasing system (Option)
L830, L740CR
Spray greasing system (Option)

Function
Lubrication of the drill steel threads is done
by an air spray and a grease injector
mounted on the lower RHS carousel
bracket.
The grease is injected by a pump placed in
the front of the wagon frame. The grease
pump is powered by compressed air from
the rig compressor and controlled through
solenoid valve Y552A. Compressed air is
also used for the spraying, and its
controlled by solenoid valve Y552B. When
functioning, solenoid valve Y552B for air
spray is set to start first before solenoid
valve Y552A for grease pump. The air then
sprays grease onto the thread. When
shutting off the function, Y552A is set to be
turned off first before Y552B.
Activation of Y552 is done manually and is
controlled by the switch S449 on the
drilling control panel.
Conditions for the function:
Spray greasing switch S449 activated, position (a) => D554-CH9/ON
Result in:
o X11-10/ON => Y552B activated for 1 second
o X15-8/ON => Y552A activated after 400 ms, then activated for 200 ms
The maximum pressure to the pump is adjusted to 7 bars by the pressure regulator 21 which is
displayed by the pressure gauge 22. The system can be switched off by blocking the air
supply with ball cock valve 8 or by the electrical switch in the cabin.
We recommend the use of Atlas Copco Secoroc thread lubricant A for the lubrication of
drill steel threads.

Laser sensor (Option)
Laser sensor (Option)

Laser sensor B316 on the rock drill cradle sends in data signals via CPU3 which are
processed by the display for showing the correct hole length/hole depth information as per
preview.
The laser sensor is most often used in undulating terrain to maintain as level a hole bottom as
possible for blasting.
Laser sensor position
Laser level
4m
Drill bit position
10m
Hole bottom
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 that has 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).
If it takes one meter for B316 to be hit by the rotary sensor in the above example, the
following describes the transaction which will take place on the display.
Before hitting the sensor (i.e. before reaching

one meter), the display shows the drilling
information like usual.

The preset value for sensor to drill bit distance

To shift to high impact from low impact, press S446B for longer than 0.5 sec, pressing the button once
more or shorter than 0.5 sec would deactivate impact/flushing and the lever returns to the neutral
position.
When changing back to low impact, press the low impact pressure switch S446A for longer than 0.5
sec, otherwise the impact will be shut off.
When switch S446B is activated, valve Y101C for high feed pressure is activated, valve Y101B for
low impact pressure is deactivated.
Diode H446 gives stable signal when drilling with high impact.
When performing percussion release or starting directly on high impact, impact is activated as long as
switch S446B is pressed.

The stop signals come from HEC-3 program,
and all the stop distances can be set in the
display. The signal is then sent to the PLC for
stop activation while waiting for the other coexisting conditions. When the value entered
equals to the distance measured through the
depth encoder, and all the other PLC input
conditions are met, PLC would activate the
rapid feed stop solenoid. See the figure to the
right for the corresponding input to each stop.

The stop signals come from HEC-3 program, and all the
stop distances can be set in the display. The signal is then
sent to the PLC for stop activation while waiting for the
other co-existing conditions. When the value entered equals
to the distance measured through the depth encoder, and all
the other PLC input conditions are met, PLC would activate
the rapid feed stop solenoid. See the figure to the right for
the corresponding input to each stop.

When anti-jamming has been de-activated low feed pressure and low air pressure will be activated
for 4 sec. before going to high feed pressure and full air pressure.
When feed backwards is automatically activated during anti-jamming, impact will be OFF
mechanically. Since the drill bit extends out when feeding backwards and the impact piston wont
get any contact with the drill bit, so no impact is carried out when feeding backwards.

To shift to high impact from low impact, press S446B for longer than 0.5 sec, pressing the button
once more for shorter than 0.5 sec would deactivate impact/flushing and the lever returns to the
neutral position.
In order to allow the impact air pressure to build up there is a 2 sec. delay for the actual activation of
high impact/flushing after releasing switch S446B.
When changing back to low impact, press the low impact pressure switch S446A longer than 0.5 sec,
otherwise the impact will be shut off.
When switch S446B is activated, valve Y101C for high feed pressure, valve Y210B for high
compressor pressure and valves Y115 and Y116 for full air pressure for the DTH hammer are
activated.
The described sequence is the normal way of operating. It is possible to start directly on High Impact
by holding the impact switch S446B for longer than 0.5 sec.
