NOTE !
Do not leave a bolt in the top hole of cover (4).
245-55
This system has been made around a multifunction counter which displays bit position, bitdistance-from-bottom of hole, accumulated hole
depth and penetration rate. The counter has
one 6-digit red led-display to show one display
at a time. Different displays can be selected
with push buttons on the counter at anytime.
The counter can be set to display all the data
either in International units (meters, m/min) or
English units (foot, ft/min).
Component Descriptions
The following components are used in the EDC
system:
4. Insert an alignment dowel or other suitable
tool through the top hole of the final drive cover
to support ring gear (1) while removing cover
(4).
5. Remove one track shoe to provide access to
the parting face between cover (4) and ring gear
(1).
6. Support ring gear (1) in place and loosen the
remaining two cover bolts (2). Using a hammer
and wedge, separate cover (4) from ring gear
(1).
7. Remove twelve bolts (3) and ring gear (5)
from final drive cover (4).
DC/DC CONVERTER
The converter switches 24 volts DC down to 12
volts DC. The 12 volt DC voltage is needed for
the counter, optical encoder, * holding wrench
proximity switch and warning buzzer. The DC/
DC converter output ground is the same as the
input ground. The maximum 12 volt current of
the EDC should be less than 1 amp.
OPTICAL ENCODER
The encoder is mounted beside the timing shaft
with a specific gear ratio sprocket and chain.
The encoder supplies two signals to the counter
which determines the distance, speed and
direction from these signals. Bit position is
increased when the rotary head is moving
down. If the bit position counter counts in the
wrong direction, the A and B signal can be
swapped from counter terminals no. 11 and 12.
PRESSURE SWITCH
This pressure switch is mounted on the lower
stacker valve to sound the alarm if the leveling
jacks or mast raising control levers are operated. The pressure switch is an adjustable type
preadjusted to switch ON at 900 PSI. The
switch is connected to the pipe in the hole warning circuit as Normally Open (NO) switch. If
either the jack or mast control levers are operated, the activated output will allow the warning
devices to activate the alarm if the bit position is
greater than the PRESET warning depth setting
or the rotary head is not in the proper position.
CONTROL RELAY
The control relay is used on the warning circuit
because of different voltage levels used on the
indicator light and buzzer. Also, the load level
would exceed the proximity switch rating.
BUZZER
The buzzer is solid state electronics which automatically adjusts its own volume up or down
maintaining a minimum of 5dB (A) above environmental noise level. Sound level ranges from
82dB thru 103dB.
Page 2-36
depth is displayed.
3. To enter a new measurement for the hold
depth will require two 0s to be entered after the
new measurement is entered. For example, to
enter a preset depth of 25 ft. will require 2, 5, 0
and 0 to be entered for English models. For
metric models the two 0s would be entered
unless the measurement required did contain a
two place decimal. If the measurement required
only 7 meters, 7, 0 and 0 would be required to
be entered to cover the decimal places.
The system will automatically take care of correct bit position if drill pipe is added. The bit
position will stop counting when the holding
wrench is engaged. Not applicable for D90KSP machines.
NOTE!
The bit position is displayed in meters with two
decimals.
KEY 7 - BIT-DISTANCE-FROM-BOTTOM-DISPLAY
Distance form bottom display indicates how far
the drill bit is from the bottom of the hole. If the
drill bit is raised from the bottom of the hole, the
display will automatically switch to display this
distance. If the bit is lowered back to the bottom, the display will switch back to bit position
display. When retracting from the hole, the
counter is normally showing the distance form
bottom display. Another display can be
selected at anytime. The distance from bottom
display is switched automatically only once.
The distance from bottom display will naturally
show the hole depth measurement when the
drill bit is raised back to ground level.
The distance from bottom display will be reset
automatically at the same time as the bit position counter will be reset. If the operator wants
to reset the distance from bottom, he can use
the same procedure shown as for bit position
above, except press key # 7 (DISTANCE FROM
BOTTOM) instead of key # 6 (BIT POSITION).
CAUTION
NOTE !
D90K-SP single pass machine has the optional
tram lock interface which disconnects the power
from tramming circuits if the rotary head position
is too low.
TESTS
When the system has been installed and programmed the following test routines will be
needed to confirm that the counter operates
properly. There is no special calibration
required as these tests are only to ensure that
programming is correct for the respective
machine models and the counter and its installation are OK.

SPECIFICATION
ACCUMULATED DEPTH
Accumulated depth will be increased every time
the rotary head is moved down and distance
from bottom display equals zero (0). This
means that the drill bit is at the bottom of the
hole. Otherwise the accumulated depth should
work the same way as bit position. It has its
own programming measurement, so it should
be tested to insure that it counts distance correctly.

SERVICE AND OIL CHANGE INTERVALS
The Lubrication and Maintenance Charts in
Section 4 lists items according to their service
intervals. Use the hourmeter to determine when
each service is due. Calendar intervals (daily,
weekly, monthly, etc.) may be used if they allow
for more convenient maintenance scheduling,
provided they approximate the hourmeter readings.
When performing scheduled maintenance, all
services due at more frequent intervals should
also be performed. For example, at Every 250
Hours or Monthly service, also perform the
items listed at Every 50 Hours or Weekly and
Every 8 Hours or Shift Change.
The recommended maintenance schedule is
designed for average conditions. When operating in temperature extremes, dusty or wet conditions, the period between maintenance
operations should be shortened. For example,
check fluid levels more frequently than the recommended intervals if leaking is suspected or
observed.
A number of services may need to be performed on a When Required basis, as determined by service indicators on the machine
MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
Wipe grease fittings clean and ensure that
grease gun nozzles are clean before injecting
grease.
Always keep caps, plugs, dipstick tubes and
their surroundings clean before removing for
servicing.
Oil Contamination
WIGGINS SERVICE STATION
If your machine is equipped with a Wiggins service station it should be used whenever replenishing fluids to reduce the risk of contamination
and the chance of mixing fluids.
Cleanliness
Cleanliness is an important factor when performing even the most routine service procedure. You can reduce the possibility of dirt
entering a system by:
Ensuring that all containers used for dispensing oil are clean.
Ensure that the areas around filler caps and
plugs are clean before removing them.
Never leave plugs or caps off any longer
than necessary.
Keep disconnected hoses plugged to prevent entry of dirt.
Repair leaking cylinder rod wiper seals
immediately.
Change filters and breathers regularly in
accordance with maintenance recommendations.
Page 4-2
Leaks
If a leak has developed in a system, it is
because there is a fault which may not be
noticeable or immediately evident. A leak is
generally a symptom of a fault such as:
Overheating.
Overpressure
Excessive vibration through a mechanical
component fault.
Incorrect operating procedure.
Poor maintenance procedure.
When fixing a leak, try to identify the real cause.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Heating, Cutting and Welding Equipment
Usage
Never use oxy heating or cutting equipment on
or around hydraulic components. Apart from
fire hazard the heat can damage components.
Heating or welding on hydraulic pipes or fittings
will cause a scale to develop on the inside. This
scale may enter the system and cause severe
component damage.
COOLING SYSTEM
Initial Start-Up
On the initial start-up of the machine, the
hydraulic actuators may move without notice or
without any control input signal due to air
entrapment in the circuits. Ensure that all personnel are clear prior to starting. Normally,
cycling the component several times will cause
the air to bleed off. However, if the condition
continues it will require technical assistance.
Hose Replacement
If a hose is frayed or damaged, it must be
replaced. When replacing a hose, be sure that
the correct hose type and diameter is used.
Replacing a hose with a smaller diameter hose
All water is corrosive at engine operating temperature. Always use coolant conditioner precharge cartridges when changing the coolant,
and replace these cartridges with maintenance
cartridges at 250 hour intervals.
Use only the water and coolants specified in the
COOLANT, FUEL and LUBRICANT SPECIFICATION topic in this manual and refer to Caterpillar bulletin SEBD 0518-06.
If the engine is to be operated or stored in an
area with temperatures below 32F (0C), the
cooling system must be protected to the lowest
expected ambient temperature.
Clean the cooling system if scale is present or
Preventive Maintenance - Page 4-3
FUEL SYSTEM
Use only the fuels specified in the COOLANT,
FUEL and LUBRICANT SPECIFICATION topic
in this manual.
Have your fuel supplier drain water and sediment from his fuel storage tanks at weekly intervals to prevent contamination from being
pumped into the machines tank.

General
Proper air cleaner servicing will result in maximum protection against dust. Proper servicing
can also save time and money by increasing filter life and dust cleaning efficiency. Two of the
most common servicing problems are: Over
Servicing and Improper Servicing. Replace or
clean elements only when the restriction indicator on the filter or the warning light on the instrument panel indicate to do so. Dont be fooled by
filter appearance, the filter should look dirty.
Careless servicing procedures can cause contamination. Use the following procedures as a
guide to air cleaner maintenance.
