Hydraulic system, general

General
The hydraulic system on the ROC F9 is an electrical and pilot pressure controlled system. The system consists
of 6 hydraulic pumps. The hydraulic pumps 1, 2, 3 and 4 are driven directly by the diesel engine via a flexible
coupling. The remaining pumps (5 and 6) are assembled together and fitted on the diesel engine's power take
out (PTO). Pumps 2-6 are gear pumps. The pressure on these pumps is regulated with a fixed or variable
pressure relief valve. Pump 1 is an axial piston pump with variable displacement. During drilling pump 1 is
regulated by the preset pressure on the pressure relief valves for high/low percussion. During tramming pump
1 is connected to an open circuit system with a flow distributor which distributes the flow equally to the left
and right-hand tramming motors. The pump pressure is controlled by whichever load you have on the
tramming motors.
Note: Max. pressure is 250 bars and is controlled by the pressure relief valve on the pump.

Pilot pressure
The oil for the pilot pressure comes from pump 1. It is fed to the main drilling block through a
pressure reducing valve set at 35 bars, through a filter and out to the pilot circuit. The oil flows
through solenoid valve Y121 which controls the pilot pressure either to the drilling- or tramming
circuit.
There is a pressure relief valve set to 50 bars to protect the pilot system against pressure peaks.
The pilot pressure signals from the control panel are transferred to the main drilling block and to the
pressure gauge panel (for overview) via logic valves. The pressure gauge panel shows the working
pressure for pump 1, feed pressure and rotation pressure in the main drilling block. The panel is
located in the operator's cab. The tramming levers are fitted close to the operator’s seat and control the
tramming valves proportionally. (See further information under the section, Pumps and pilot pressure).

Return oil and oil cooler

The Hydraulic oil tank has a capacity of 300 litres which means that there is always a “stock” of oil
in the tank. In addition to storage it serves to separate water and dirt. There are two holders with 3
filters in each which filters hydraulic oil from the return- and drain circuit and the oil during filling.
There is also a ventilation filter which prevents contaminated air from entering the tank when the
hydraulic oil level is changed. Thermostats ensure that the oil flows through the oil cooler when the
temperature is above 40ºC and directly to the tank when the temperature is below 40ºC.
The Oil cooler cools the hydraulic oil so that the rig can work at full load in ambient temperatures up
to 50°C. The cooling fan is driven by a hydraulic motor that is supplied with oil from pump 5 at a
maximum pressure of 160 bars.
T- Return oil is a collection block that collects return oil from the various circuits and leads it to the
thermostats and to the return oil filter.
D-Drain oil is a collection block that collects oil from the various circuits and leads directly to the
return oil filter.
L-Leakege oil is oil that goes directly to tank for minimum resistance in the circuits.
Filler pump is used to top up / fill hydraulic oil and there is a check valve that prevents oil from
leaking out through the filler pump.
Level sensor (B143) sense the hydraulic oil level in the tank.The engine will automatically stop if the
level drops below a certain limit.
Temperature sensor (B147) sense the hydraulic oil temperature and the temperature will be shown
on the display. The engine will automatically stop if the hydraulic oil exceeds 90ºC.
Note: This signal is connected directly to the ECM.
The drain cock is used to remove water of condensation or to empty the hydraulic oil tank.

Electrical system, general

General
ROC F9 is equipped with a 24 volt electrical system for monitoring and fault indication. The electrical
system is also used for controlling a number of hydraulic- and pneumatic valves. The structure of the
electrical system is illustrated in a block diagram.
Battery and charging

The power source for starting the engine is two 12 V/185 Ah batteries that are connected in series.
These are charged by a generator. The batteries are connected to the system via a manual battery
switch.
Main fuse
The power supply to the electric cabinet is fused by a 50A main fuse (F300).
Electric cabinet
The electrical cabinet (A1) contains 10 fuses which protect the different sub-circuits in the event of a
short circuit, CAN- and I/O-modules, some help relays, amplifiers for the electrical tramming, voltage
stabiliser and a PLC.
ECM (Electronic Control Module) is used for monitoring the engine's functions and sensors. It
receives analogue and digital information from the engine and the rig. The information is processed
and translated to J1939 protocol. J1939 protocol includes parameters which are shown in the display.
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.
CCU (Winch control unit) is a system for controlling the winch from the remote control box.
The system consists of two parts, the CCU (CAN Control Unit) and the remote control box.
There is a CAN serial communication between the CCU and the remote control box. The
CCU is located in the large electric cabinet (A1) and controls the hydraulic valves for tramming,
positioning (boom lift and boom swing) and the winch.

Electrical supply
The power source consists of 2 12V/185Ah batteries

connected in series. Before the main switch is
switched on there is power to the radio, some lights
and the diesel heater + timer.
When the main switch is switched on the circuit 25
is activated which supplies power to parts of the ECM,
the 24V stabiliser, CAN modules, the display and
working lights.
Ignition position activates circuit 50 which

supplies the diesel panel, preheating, the ECM
and the PLC via K4A with power.
Note: The PLC is connected to the stabilised
24 V circuit. The purpose of the signal from
circuit 50 is only to close the relay contact to
K4A.
In the start position the engine is started via
relay K5A.
Note 1: When the main switch is on the display

is supplied with power (1Ah).
Note 2: The electrical system's ground cables

are not isolated. This means that the system
consumes a small current even when no
functions are activated.

Communication
Communication
HEC System (Hole/Engine Control)
The display shows engine data, angle/hole information and the status of switches/sensors, etc.
The system consists of display, ECM (Cats Engine Control Module), D510 CAN modules, PMAI
(Analogue Input Module), PMI1 and PMI2 (Digital Input Module), PMO (Digital Output Module),
D170 boom sensor, D171 inclination sensor, D172 electronic unit, terminal plugs, 24V stabiliser and
an internal 10V converter.
Display:
The display is connected to the ECM using J1939 serial communication. The ECM receives
information from analogue sensors and digital switches on the engine and rig. The information is
processed and translated into the J1939 protocol. The J1939 protocol includes parameters that are
shown on the display. The main display D501 receives the J1939 protocol and translates this to CAN,
which is then shown on the display.
Angle/depth measurement:
CAN communication connects together the boom sensor D170, the feed angle sensor D171 and the
electroninc unit D172 to the display. The depth recorder B172 generates pulses (0-24V) which are
processed in the D172 module.
A terminal plug is connected to D172, this is terminated on the network. The display also has a
terminal plug installed to determine the start on the network.
Sensor/switch monitoring system:

This system can present switch and sensor status on the display screen. The analogue sensors are
connected to the CAN bus via the PMAI module and the digital (ON/OFF) switches are connected via
the PMI1 and PMI2 modules. The PMAI module processes analogue signals only (0-10000 mV) and
PMI1 / PMI2 digital signals only (0/24 V). Some sensors on the CAT engine are also connected to
the monitoring system via J1939/CAN.
Power supply:
The system is supplied with 24 V DC stabilised voltage to ensure maximum stability. The analogue
sensors are supplied with 10 V DC from the 10 V DC converter. The voltage range for the analogue
signals to the PMAI module is 0-10000 mV.
13
Communication
PLC
The PLC handles logic functions for rod-handling, percussion, air flushing, DCT, high/low speed on
the diesel engine, hydraulic oil level, compressor temperature, air filter diesel / compressor and for
anti-jamming functions. The logic for the PLC is saved in an EEPROM (Program)

CAN, general
CAN
There are various types of control modules (CAN module, ECM, main display, etc.). Common to all
of these is that they each contain a separate processor. The modules communicate with each other over
a CAN bus. The CAN bus uses serial communication. One piece of data at a time is sent over the bus
until all the data has been transmitted. This is a simple method that requires only a conductor and a
ground.
___________________________________________________________________________
10 V converter
The analogue sensors are supplied with 10 V power. This is supplied by means of an internal 10 V
converter.
___________________________________________________________________________
24 V DC stabiliser
The generator is the power source for the electrical system when the engine is running. The generator
generates between 24-28 V depending on the engine speed. Certain special control modules require a
stable 24 V DC to work correctly. The stabiliser supplies these modules with stabilised 24 V DC.
The stabiliser can be calibrated with potentiometer U2 (between terminal U2/4 and U2/14 on the
stabiliser)
LED:
The LED shines when the stabiliser is supplied with power.

Diesel engine
Diesel engine
The engine on the ROC F9 is a turbocharged, water cooled diesel engine from Caterpillar called C9.
The output at 2000 r/min is 224 kW.
Battery switch, off

Before the battery switch (S300) is switched on there are 24V to the diesel heater and the timer via the
fuses F02 and F03. Lamps in the engine compartment and the cab, connector sockets for radio and
mobile phone in the cab are also supplied with 24V via fuse F04. The generator G2 (B+) is connected
directly to the batterys.
Battery switch, on
When the battery switch (S300) is switched on there are stabilised 24V to:
¾ Display (D501)
¾ I/O module (D510)
¾ depth and angle instrument (D170, D171, D172)
¾ laser sensor (B316)
¾ vacuum switches (B360, B365)
¾ ECL collection switches (B381, B382)
¾ hydraulic oil level switch (B143)
When the battery switch (S300) is switched on there are unstabilised 24V to:
¾ ECM
¾ Emergency stop and ignition
¾ Lighting and volt tester in A1 cabinet
¾ Electric fuel pump
Stabilised 24 V to D501 and unstabilised 24 V to the ECM:

The CAN communication starts between the display and the angle/depth instruments when the main
switch is switched on. This is indicated by a red lamp in the display and will take about 30 seconds.
The communication between the engine's ECM and the rest of the system has not yet started. The
result of this is that the warning symbol for communication interruption will be shown in the display's
status field. The ECM will also be presented as a red module in the communication menu.
The ECM will start by connecting P61/26 to 24V (50) when the ignition key is turned to the ignition
position.

the ECM to idling speed (1500rpm). If PLC/Y24 is low there is a variable engine speed which is set
manually via potentiometer R189 on the drill panel. For more detailed information, see diagram:
9840042292 pages5, 8 and 9.
Engine monitoring
A number of sensors and switches on the engine do not generate warnings in the event of a fault. The
old system with diagnostic “flash” codes has now been replaced by a direct code system. This allows
you to go directly to the CAT fault diagnosis table to interpret the codes. The EMR 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.
22
Compressor
Compressor
The integrated compressor is a single stage oil-lubricated compressor. Max. working pressure has been
set to 12 bars (213 l/sec) for F9-TH.
Compressor unit
The compressor unit comprises two rotors: a drive rotor and a slide rotor mounted on rollers and ball
bearings. The drive rotor is driven by the diesel engine and transfers power to the slide rotor. The
rotors are lubricated with oil that is injected and mixed with the air. This increases efficiency since the
oil forms a seal between the rotor blade and the housing. The compressor unit is an Atlas Copco type
XAHS 236MD screw compressor. The gear ratio is 1.55 on CAT engines.
Air flow
The intake air is drawn in through the air filter and an over centre valve to the compressor unit. The
over centre valve also prevents the oil from flowing back into the system. The air is mixed with oil and
after compression flows directly into the separator. In the separator most of the oil is separated from
the air/oil mixture by means of an oil separator. The remaining oil is filtered away via a separator
element. The flow of compressed air flows through a pressure valve out to the drilling rig's air system.
The pressure valve prevents the pressure in the separator from falling under the lowest working
pressure on the compressor, even when the air outlet valves are open in order to ensure the correct
function of the oil system.

Compressor
Cooling and oil systems

The oil is used for lubrication, sealing and cooling and is reinforced by the air pressure, there is no oil
pump. The lower section of the separator works as an oil tank. The air pressure means that the oil is
transported from the separator through the oil cooler and oil filter to the compressor unit. The
compressor unit has an oil platform on the bottom of the sleeve. The oil for rotor lubrication, cooling
and sealing is injected through holes in the oil platform. Lubrication of bearings takes place through
the injection of oil into the bearing housing. The mixture of air/oil leaves the compressor unit and
flows back to the separator where the oil is separated from the air. The oil collected on the bottom in
the separator filter flows back to the oil system through a drain line which is equipped with a flow
limiter.
Note: A thermostat valve bypasses the oil cooler when the oil is below 40°C.

Regulator system
The compressor control system consists of a control valve amongst other things. This valve adapts the
air volume supplied to the compressor for air consumption by simultaneously maintaining the working
pressure within the limits. The control system also includes a load valve which is activated by a switch
on the diesel control panel. The load valve facilitates warming up the diesel engine before it loads the
compressor.
Instrument and fault indication

The pressure of the compressed air supplied from the compressor can be read from a pressure gauge.
The compressor also has a temperature indicator switch (B366), which automatically sends an alarm to
the display and switches off the diesel engine if the compressor temperature exceeds +120°C. (See
compressor instructions for more details.)

Pumps and pilot pressure

Pump 1
Main pump 1 in the hydraulic system is an axial piston pump with variable displacement and supplies
oil to:
¾ Percussion
¾ Feed
¾ RHS system
¾ Positioning
¾ Track oscillation
¾ Tramming
¾ Pilot pressure
The pump is pressure compensated, which means that the pressure is maintained constantly
independent of the flow as long as the flow is less than the max. capacity of the pump (190 l/min.).
The pump pressure can be regulated by means of external pressure valves or the internal pressure
control valve (DR).
During drilling, pump 1 is controlled by the actual output pressure.
During tramming, it is connected to an open circuit system with a flow distributor that distributes the
flow equally to left and right tramming motors.
Internal pressure valve

During tramming or boom positioning the
internal pressure control valve controls (DR)
pump pressure. The DR valve also limits max.
working pressure (250 bars) for the pump.
With boom positioning during tramming or
when the winch is activated the pressure is
regulated to 210 bars by means of valve Y123.
External pressure valve DR: Max pressure , LS: Standby pressure

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

1. Disconnect pilot hose “DP” from the LOGIC-1 block, port DP.
2. Connect pilot hose “DP” to the hydraulic tank (drain block with Y101A,B )
3. Plug the LOGIC-1 block, port DP.
4. Connect the tester hose to the connection on pump 1.
5. Start the engine and set the speed to 1500 rpm.
6. The pressure on the tester should be 15-20 bars.
7. Adjust the “LS” screw on the pump regulator if required.”
8. Refit the pilot hose “DP” to the LOGIC-1 block, port DP.
25
Checking/setting the max. pump pressure “DR”
1. Connect the tester hose to the connection on pump 1.
2. Start the engine and set the speed to 1500 rpm.
3. Set the drilling/tramming switch to drilling.
4. The pressure on the tester should be max. 250 bars.
5. Adjust the “DR” screw on the pump regulator if required.
Pump 2, 3 and 4
Pumps 2, 3 and 4 are gear pumps which are
integrated with pump 1.
They are driven directly by the diesel engine via
a flexible coupling.
¾ Pump 2 supplies oil to the rock drill's rotation
motor. Max. pump pressure on pump 2 is set via
relief valves in the drill rotation circuit.
¾ Pump 3 supplies oil to the dust collector's fan motor.
¾ Pump 4 supplies oil to the winch and
positioning circuit. The pressure from pump 4 can be
adjusted via the relief valves in the relief block for
pump 4 (Y123).
Pump 5, 6
The two remaining gear pumps 5 and 6 are assembled together as a double pump fitted on the diesel
engine's power take out (PTO).
¾ Pump 5 drives the cooling fan motor for cooling the hydraulic oil and the compressor oil. It also
supplies oil to the winch's locking mechanism.The pressure from pump 5 is not adjustable so the
max. pressure is limited by a fixed 160 bars pressure relief valve in a housing near the cooler
motor. This pump is permanently activated. For pump capacity see the table below.
Pump 6 drives the cooling fan motor for cooling the diesel engine and intake air. The pressure from
pump 6 is not adjustable but the max. pressure is limited by a 140 bars fixed pressure relief valve in a
housing near the cooler motor. This pump is permanently activated. For pump capacity see the table
below.
Pilot pressure
The oil for pilot pressure is supplied from pump 1. It goes through the main drilling block via a
pressure reducing valve set to 35 bars out to the pilot circuit. In order to protect the pilot system from
pressure peaks there is also a pressure relief valve set at 50 barss in the main drilling block. The oil is
then fed to logic block 1 and solenoid valve Y169 whose function is to switch off the pilot pressure
supply to all functions in an emergency stop situation. Solenoid valve Y169 is activated
simultaneously with the diesel engine's stop relay Y200. When solenoid valve Y169 is activated the
oil is fed to valve Y121. When Y121 is activated the pilot pressure is directed to the drilling functions
and when it is not activated to the tramming circuit. Y121 is controlled by the switch for
drilling/tramming (S130)

Conditions for Tramming High Speed:
Above + S130 position high speed→ K121/Y121+Y122 activated
Explanation of the electrical system:

The jack must be fully up to activate sensor B184 and relay K233. The contact to K233 must be
closed for tramming to be permitted. The PLC input X33 is for the warning lamp in the cabin. S130
must be in tramming position (contact 3-4 closed) so that solenoid valve Y121 is activated and direct
pilot pressure to the tramming functions. Relay K121 must be activated to permitt tramming. The
tramming levers are supplied with 8.5 V from the amplifiers N174 and N175 in the electrical cabinet.
The signal back to the amplifiers is between 8.5 and 0 V, 4.25 V is neutral. The amplifiers supply the
proportional solenoid valves in the valve block for tramming with a PWM signal (pulse with
modulation).
Explanation of the hydraulic system:

The pilot pressure is directed through solenoid valve Y169 whose function is to switch off the pilot
flow to all functions in an emergency stop situation. When solenoid valve Y169 is activated the oil is
fed to valve Y121 which then directs pilot pressure to either the drilling circuit or the tramming circuit.
Y121 is controlled by switch S130 (see figure 1). High and low speed can be selected from S130 or
from the remote control box if the rig is equipped with a winch. When low speed is selected the pilot
pressure is directed through solenoid valve Y121 and on to the directional valve in the main drilling
block (see figure 2). When high speed is activated the pilot pressure is directed through valve Y122
and on to the valve block for the tramming motors. (See figure 4).

pressure changes the directional valves' position proportionally and pump 1 supplies the tramming
motors' hydraulic circuits with oil.

Tramming
The track oscillation cylinders are controlled by the directional valves Y419 and Y420 via the controls
(S176, S177). The track oscillation cylinders are hydraulically connected in parallel via the over centre
valves (see figure). The over centre valves are pilot-opened by the pressure from Pump 4 when valve
Y473 is activated. Y473 is activated by S445 from the control panel. This valve has two positions:
¾ Open position (floating)
When Y473 is activated, pilot pressure is supplied to the over centre valves. The ratio between
the over centre valves is 1/13 , which means that 25 bars is needed for them to permit oil flow
to the cylinders connected in parallel. This position is used for tramming so that unevennesses
in the ground are compensated for between the two cylinders. (See figure)
¾ Closed position (locked) When valve Y473 is inactivated there is no flow between the
cylinders (over centre valves are closed). This valve position is used during drilling to make the
rig stable.

Positioning
Positioning
The positioning circuit is primarily supplied with oil by pump 1. Since the tramming circuit is also
supplied with oil by pump 1, pump 4 has to be used for positioning during tramming.
Since pump 1 (250 bars) is larger and works at a higher pressure than pump 4 (210 bars), positioning
is more rapid and stronger in drilling mode than during tramming.
The positioning cylinders are controlled directly from the positioning levers inside the cab. Lever
movement results in valve activation and the pump pressure can pass out to the cylinder. (See figure)
Positioning can also be handled electrically from the remote control box. There is more to read on this
under the Options section.

Y115 is switched off and the air flows via Y116 and can then be regulated with a control valve (see
figure)
Note: Drilling without air flushing should not take place for more than approx. 10 seconds as
the rock drill is then without lubrication.
Flow switch
When full flushing (Y115 and Y116 activated) is selected the flow switch (B142) functions as
protection against clogging the drill bit when drilling through clay or softer layers of rock. The
pressure increases when the bit clogs and the difference over a restrictor decreases. The contact to
B142 will close and drill feed backward is activated via valve Y109 in the drill feed hydraulic circuit.
This is controlled via the PLC.

Rotation
Conditions:
S130 in drilling position→ PLC/X24-On/Off
→ → PLC/Y31-On/Off→ Y179A/B, H179-On/Off
Note: When Y179 A /B are activated the magnetic self-holding is obtained when the drilling lever is
moved to the sectors for drill rotation and drill feed.
Conditions for switching off rotation and magnetic self-holding:

S130 in drilling mode→ PLC/X24-Off/On
S453 activated→ PLC/X36-On/Off→ PLC/Y31-On/Off→ H179/Y179A/Y179B- On/Off
With activation of S453 (see figure below) the magnets will be temporarily deactivated and the
drilling lever returns to neutral position which results in rotation and feed being switched off.
Note: Magnetic self-holding will be automatically reactivated after a delay of 0.2 seconds. This means
that the next time the drilling lever is moved to one of these sectors (sector for drill rotation or drill
feed) self-holding will again be obtained.

To be able to activate the drill rotation circuit the function switches S130 and S452 must be in drilling

Drilling
When rotation is activated (with drilling lever) the pilot pressure is directed, via the electrical pilot
valves (Y178 A-D) to the directional valve in the drilling block. The pilot pressure passes a flow
regulator (see figure) which regulates the rotation speed. The rotation pressure also activates the DPC-
I system (For further information, see under the section Damper and DPC-I system).

Two pressure relief valves (see figure) regulate the max. pressure to the rotation motor during
threading/unthreading (125 and 160 bars respectively).During drilling the max. pressure is limited by
the 125 bar valve (see figure). The flow to the rotation motor is proportional to the opening of the
directional valve.

Hydraulic oil heater
The oil should be preheated to the minimum working temperature 20ºC (normal working temperature
is 40-60ºC). The hydraulic oil heating is activated by switch S130 on the diesel panel. This will
activate solenoid valve Y120. The oil passes through a restrictor of 2mm and builds up a pressure via
the pressure relief valve (160 bars).
This means that most of the flow is forced through the 11 bars valve and the oil is heated (171 bars).

Note: Deactivation of percussion can also take place with a quick push on either low or high
percussion.
The percussion circuit includes functions for activating the rock drill's percussion mechanisms and
checking/adjusting the pressure for collaring and drilling (low and high pressure). Percussion is
supplied with hydraulic power from pump 1. In order to protect the rock drill and drill steel the DPC-I
system can switch off or lower the percussion pressure if certain adjustable requirements are not
fulfilled. The DPC-I system is described separately.
Activating percussion
The directional valve in the main drilling block has two functions, one is to direct the oil to the rock
drill percussion mechanism and the other is to direct oil to the tramming circuit. The directional valve
is controlled by Y101A via the two QDS valves I and J (see figure next page). The QDS-I valve will
close if the damper pressure drops below 35 bars. The QDS-J valve will close if the pressure exceeds
120 bars. These QDS valves belong to the DPC-I system and gauge the rock drill's damper pressure. If
the damper pressure does not correspond the valves will close and prevent activation of the directional
valve. When the percussion is activated pilot pressure is also directed to the QDS valve B which
allows one of the pressure relief valves to take control of pump 1 pressure.
¾ To activate low percussion the button S446 must be activated with holding for more than
0.8 seconds. Low percussion is deactivated with a further press of the button.
¾ To activate high percussion the button S446 must be activated with holding for more than
0.5 seconds. High percussion is deactivated with a further press of the button.
Percussion pressure
The percussion pressure can be read off from the pressure gauge panel inside the cab, where the
pressure for low and high percussion can also be adjusted.
39
Drilling
¾ Low percussion pressure (pump 1): QDS valve B is activated after both solenoid valves
Y101A and Y101B have been activated by button S446.
This connects the control line “DP” for pump 1 to the pressure relief valve for high
percussion, and if QDS valve A is not active, to the pressure relief valve for low percussion.
In the position for low percussion the QDS valve C is active which prevents QDS valve A
being activated. Accordingly the pressure relief valve for low percussion pressure controls the
pressure from pump 1.
Note: In the low percussion position, QDS valve E is also activated to ensure low feed
pressure.
¾ High percussion pressure (pump 1): QDS-valve B is still activated as Y101A is ON when
S446 is activated for high percussion. As Y101B is OFF the QDS-valve C is no longer
activated which results in the QDS-valve A being controlled by the rock drill's damper
pressure (DPC-I system). Normally the rock drill's damper pressure is above 50 bars during
drilling and this activates the QDS valve A which prevents the relief valve for low percussion
from controlling the pump pressure. The pump pressure is instead controlled with the relief
valve for high percussion.

Note: Magnetic self-holding will be automatically reactivated after a delay of 0.2 seconds. This means
that the next time the drilling lever is moved to one of these sectors (sector for drill feed or drill
rotation) self-holding will be activated again.

Drilling
The feed circuit is supplied with oil from pump 1. In drill feed position the electrical pilot valves
(Y178A-D) are not activated. When feed is activated with the drilling lever the pilot pressure is
directed on via directional valve Y109 which changes the feed direction during anti-jamming and out
to the directional valve in the drill feed block (see figure next page).
The percussion controls which feed pressure are obtained. If as in the figure below low percussion
pressure has been activated then the pilot pressure in turn activates the QDS valves E, B and C low
feed pressure is obtained.

The hydraulic power is then directed out to the feed motor via 2 adjustable flow regulators. The feed
pressure is controlled by two control valves in the cab (low or high feed pressure depending on which
percussion pressure is activated).
For the pressure to be maintained constantly independent of the speed of the rock drill cradle a
pressure compensator is used (K1).

The hydraulic power to the feed function are supplied by
pump 1 and to the rotation function by pump 2. For
threading to be possible S452 must be in the
threading/rapid feed position.
The pilot pressure is then directed to the directional valves
in the drill block for feed and rotation. The feed pressure at
threading is controlled by two pressure control valves,
respectively (20 bars and 30 bars) See figure below.

Damper and DPC-I system

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

The adjustment of damper pressure must take place with the damper piston in floating position. To
ensure that the piston is in floating position the shank adapter must be pulled out as far as possible.
Adjusting damper pressure should not be performed before the hydraulic oil has reached normal
working temperature, 40ºC (104ºF).
1. Connect a pressure gauge between the damper hose connection and the damper hose on the
rock drill.
2. Start the diesel engine and let it run at 1500 rpm.
3. Make sure that the shank adapter is fully withdrawn, i.e. the damper piston is in the floating
position.
4. Set S130 in drilling position.
5. Undo the lock screw on the knob and adjust the damper pressure by turning the knob:
clockwise to lower the pressure and anticlockwise to raise it.
6. Tighten the lock screw once the pressure is correct.
Note: Percussion should be stopped if the damper pressure exceeds 120 bars or drops below 35 bars.
DPC-I system
The DPC-I system (Damper Pressure Controlled Impact) controls the percussion function by sensing
the damper pressure during drilling. Depending on the damper pressure, percussion may be permitted,
stopped or switched between high and low percussion pressure. This is made possible by three
sequence valves (QDS valves) in the rig's hydraulic system.
QDS-I: Blocks the pilot pressure from percussion valve Y101A to the directional valve if the damper
pressure is too low. In this case, the activation of percussion is prevented if the damper pressure is
below 35 bars or percussion stops if the damper pressure drops below 35 bars during drilling in
cavities, a hose ruptures or a valve malfunctions.
QDS-J: Blocks the pilot pressure from percussion valve Y101A to the directional valve if the damper
pressure exceeds 120 bars. This may occur if the feed pressure is abnormally high or if a mechanical
fault arises in the damper.
Figure: QDS valve
47
QDS-A: During normal drilling with high percussion pressure, QDS valve A is activated by the
damper pressure through QDS valve C and D. If the damper pressure drops below 50 bars, QDS-A is
deactivated. This means that the relief valve for low percussion controls the pump pressure instead of
the relief valve for high percussion pressure.
Warning! Incorrect adjustment of the DPC-I system may damage the rock drill, rig and drill steels.
Adjustment should only be made by a qualified technical engineer from Atlas Copco.
QDS-D: Activated by the pilot signal for drill rotation. In other words, the DPC-I only works when
drill rotation is active. When valve QDS-D is closed to damper pressure, it is open to the control line
(DP) for pump 1. This means that the DP pressure pilot controls QDS-A, which closes the pressure
control valve for low percussion. System pressure P1 is thus controlled by the pressure control valve
for high percussion.
QDS-C: Activated via Y101B (S130 in drilling position and low percussion being activated) or with
reverse feed.
This facilitates control of percussion pressure via the pressure control valve for low pressure.

Anti-jamming protection
The anti-jamming protection is an automatic monitoring function that is always active during drilling.
The anti-jamming function is activated by high rotation pressure or lack of air flushing flow*
during drilling.
*Does not apply if “drilling without air flushing” is activated, see page 39.
Function
When the anti-jamming protection is activated, the rock drill backs off until the jamming conditions
with regard to rotation pressure (B134) and air flushing (B142) cease to exist. The rock drill backs off
until the rotation pressure returns to the permitted value (80 bars) or the air flushing is activated.
Conditions for anti-jamming protection with regard to high rotation pressure:

S446 activated High or low percussion
B134 activated→ PLC/X0-Off/On→ PLC/Y2-Off/On→ Y109 activated *
Note: If drill feed backward is activated at the same time as B134 is active then Y109 is disconnected
from sensor B262.
If the rotation pressure exceeds 80 bars, sensor B134 is activated via QDS-K (see figure). The signal
is sent to the PLC (see preceding conditions) and the directional valve Y109 which controls the
direction of feed is activated.

If there is no air flushing, sensor B142 is activated. A signal is sent to the PLC (see conditions above)
and directional valve Y109 which controls feed direction is activated.
RPCF
Function
RPCF controls the feed pressure to maintain a constant rotation pressure (torque). If the rotation
pressure exceeds an adjustable nominal value, the RPCF valve will be opened and the feed pressure
reduced proportionally via the pressure control valve for low feed pressure. The feed pressure will
always lie between the values for low feed pressure and high feed pressure.

Air system
Compressed air is used for the following rig functions:
¾ Air flushing: Used to transport cuttings from the hole up to the surface. Reduced flushing is
primarily used during collaring and drilling in porous or poor rock to prevent the air from
damaging the walls of the hole.
¾ ECL, rock drill lubrication system
¾ ECG, thread lubrication (option)
¾ DCT, dust collector
¾ Watermist system (option)
¾ External air outlet, used for example for grinding equipment to drill bits
ECL, rock drill lubrication system

Conditions:
S130 drilling→ PLC/X24- Off/On
S100 reduced/full air flushing→ PLC/X26- On or Off
S446 air flushing mode→ PLC/Y27 or Y30-Off/On→ PLC/Y0-Off/On→ Y106 activated
Note: The air flushing obtained with activation of S446 (percussion/air flushing) depends on the
position that switch S100 is in (Full/Reduced or off).
Note: The ECL pump works with a delay of 60 seconds after S100 or the percussion is switched off
after drilling. (See conditions for switching off percussion).
ECL pump Y106 starts to pump as soon as the air flushing is turned on. The pump receives pulses
from the ECL module in the electric cabinet. 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. The lubrication pressure gauge is
located on the pressure control panel.
Note: See the manual for adjusting number of pulses/min.

*The valves are activated one at a time with an adjustable time interval.
Note: The DCT's fan motor starts by means of the activation of S130 in drilling position (not
controlled by the PLC). Suction starts only when the hatch to the fan housing is opened by means of
the activation of Y253 as described above.
Conditions for cleaning the DCT filter during/after drilling:

Or:
S446 deactivated→ PLC/X27 or X30-Off/On

*The valves are activated at the same time with an adjustable time interval
Note: To obtain cleaning the first condition is that suction must be on (Y21/On) which means that one
filter at a time is cleaned. The other condition is that the suction is switched off (Y21/Off) which mean
that all filters are cleaned at the same time. The suction is switched off by means of S100 being
deactivated (rapid double activation), S181 switched off or from flushing and DCT being switched off
via the drilling lever (S446). See section for drilling
56
Air system
The air supply to the DCT is limited to 7.5 bars by a pressure reducing valve. The solenoid valves
Y251A-C are opened at the same time to clean the DCT filters. Dust collection starts when the air
cylinder opens the fan outlet hatch. This is controlled via the DCT switch when the dust collector is in
position ON, which in turn activates solenoid valve Y253 (DCT hatch) (See figure).

measuring hole length, with stop signal for drilling when set u
length is reached. A choice can be made between hole depth r
and hole length which stops the drilling. e
The first row in the menu view to the right (figure 2, 3)

¾ Hole depth is the vertical distance from
ground level to the bottom of the hole.
F
Hole length and hole depth can be set on a menu.
i
The marked line shows the required hole length/hole depth. g
The length or depth can be set from 0.1m- 99.9m. When the u
hole has reached the required depth/length the PLC r
automatically sets the drill output “low”. The drilling can e
continue by restarting the drilling functions.

The second row displays the penetration rate. Figure 2
The third row displays the position of the drill bit.
EXAMPLE: If the hole is 10m the first row shows 10m. If

the drill steel is run backward the drill bit's position starts to
count backward to inform the operator of the distance from
the bit to the bottom of the hole.
: Reset of the hole depth
The last row displays the total number of drilled metres.

This parameter can be reset.
Basic conditions for measurement:

¾ The rig must be in drilling mode.
¾ The system must be reseted before starting the Figure 3
drilling.
¾ When the percussion is activated, the system
calculates the length/depth measurement.
Conditions for blocking:
¾ Upper drill steel support closed.
¾ Percussion interrupted.
¾ Unthreading activated.
Note: These three parameters must be fulfilled to reach standby mode. If the parameters are not met
and the rock drill is raised to add a drill steel, the measurement will be incorrect.
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 change:
¾ Upper drill steel support opened.
¾ Percussion activated.

RHS, Rod handling system

General
The functions for the different rod handling movements
are controlled manually from the left-hand panel on the
seat. All actuation signals run via the PLC out to the
respective valve for the RHS functions (see figure below).
There are a number of sensors on the feed beam which
then gauge the activity in the system and send signals in to
the PLC (see the explanation of how the sensors work at
the end of this section).
System pressure
Max. pressure for the rod handling circuit is determined by
a pressure reducing valve at 200 bars. There is also a
separate pressure regulating valve to the suction hood (40
bars) to prevent the cylinder breaking and one for the grip
function (10 bars) which limits the pressure for “loose
grip” (see hydraulic diagram).

valve Y303B anticlockwise rotation. Two restrictors limit the rotation speed (see hydraulic diagram).
Sensors detect whether rotation is clockwise or anticlockwise. Sensor B183 detects clockwise rotation
and sensor B182 anticlockwise rotation.

Tight grip
Conditions for tight grip:
Tight grip is the normal condition and no activated PLC inputs/outputs are activated. The
gripper claws are in tight grip when the valves Y300 and Y306 are not activated. To obtain
tight grip in the carousel the RHS lever is moved forward and to obtain tight grip in drill
centre the lever is moved backward.
62
The following is a short explanation of how the sensors work on the ROC F7/F9-TH:
¾ B118 senses when the rod handing arm is

in the carousel. This sensor must be
activated to enable percussion during B172
drilling.
¾ B122 This sensor protects the drill steel

from being hit by the rock drill cradle
during taking up the drill string. B127
¾ B126 is activated when the rock drill
cradle is in position for unthreading the B126
rod in the upper position and for
unthreading the rock drill so that the drill
steel can be entered into the carousel. D172
H323
¾ B127 is activated when the rock drill
cradle is in the highest position on the feed
beam. This is the position for moving out
a new drill steel from the carousel out to
drill centre. Used mainly during drilling to
prevent the rock drill cradle from crashing
against mechanical stop.
¾ B172 is a pulse sensor which is connected H322

to the feed motor. The sensor generates
pulses which are sent to a converter D171
(D172) which “translates” the pulses to
CAN information. In this way it is B118
possible to determine where the rock drill B122
cradle is on the feed beam and the hole
depth. S132B
¾ B182 is activated when the carousel

rotation to the gripper (anticlockwise) has B182
stopped in the correct position for taking a B183
drill steel out to drill centre.
¾ B183 is activated when the carousel

rotation from the gripper (clockwise) has
stopped in the correct position for fitting a
new drill steel in the carousel from drill
centre.
¾ B316 is a laser receiver
¾ D171 is the angle sensor on the feed beam

S448 off position→ Y112B / Y112A deactivated
The water mist system is used to stabilise the drilled hole when drilling through loose and porous rock
by adding water to the air flushing. In general a small amount of water is used to dampen the cuttings
and bind them together into larger particles, for dust control, or to bind the dust to the hole wall to
obtain better hole stability. The quantity of water is controlled by two directional valves and a flow
regulator, as follows:
¾ Full water supply is only used at short intervals to flush the water on dry clay to obtain sludge
which can be used for better stabilisation. The directional valve Y112B is open/activated.
¾ The watermist system: When directional valve Y112A is open and Y112B is closed, the amount of
water is controlled by an adjustable throttle valve (see figure).
¾ OFF: Both directional valves, Y112A and Y112B , are closed.

If a larger quantity of water needs to be added, for example when reaching a pocket of clay, full water
flushing can be selected (S448) on the right-hand control panel. To avoid suction hoses and dust
collector filters clogging during the use of the water mist system the DCT must be switched off when
the dust is very wet or if water is spurting up from the hole.
Winch (Remote control box, option)
Conditions for using the winch:

¾ S130 must remain in position for tramming
¾ Remote control box (A60) must be activated. Make sure the switch in the cab and the switch on
the box are in remote control box position. (See further the electrical diagram on page 15.)
¾ Make sure the winch switch is in the correct position (S172)
¾ Use the winch motor switch (S173) to reel the cable in and out.
See the operator's manual for instructions on activation and deactivation
The remote control box has switches and controls for the following functions:
¾ Boom swing cylinder, Left/Right

¾ Boom lift cylinder, Up/Down
¾ Track oscillation cylinder, Up/Down
¾ Warning signal

¾ Brake valve Y209 is activated.
¾ Winch motor valve Y208B is activated.
¾ Tramming direction valves Y206 and Y207 are activated
Note: All valves are found in their respective block diagrams on the hydraulic diagram (see winch
block overleaf)
Winch block
The winch hydraulic circuit includes functions for reeling in and unwinding cables, control of winch
pulling force and release of the winch brake. The block consists of solenoid valve Y209 (controls
brake disc release), Y215 (activated when tramming with winch), two pressure relief valves which
limit max. pressure (125 bars), a remote controlled proportional pressure relief valve (Y214) to
control winch pulling force as well as Y208A and Y208B which are electrical pilot valves to the
directional valve.
66
Options
Solenoid valves Y208A and B control the directional valve (see figure) as follows:
Unwinding cables: Solenoid valve Y208B and brake release valve Y209 are activated
simultaneously with the switch S173 on the remote control box. Unwinding can also take place
manually by releasing the disengagement piston on the winch and then pulling out the winch cable
manually.
Reeling in the cable:: Solenoid valve Y208A and
brake release valve Y209 are activated
simultaneously, either manually or automatically Frikopplingsplugg

from the remote control box.
Manual: Switch S173 activates Y208A, B and
Y209. Y208A and B pre-control the directional
valve, and the winch pulling force is controlled via
proportional pressure relief valves that limit the
pressure to 125 bars. Y209 controls brake disc
release.
Automatic: When the winch is activated by switch S172 solenoid valves Y208A, B and Y209 are
activated automatically when the tramming lever on the remote control box is operated (forward or
backward). Valve Y215 is also activated for tramming with the winch. Accordingly, the pulling force
of the winch is controlled by a pressure relief valve (Y214). This relief valve is adjusted manually
with the potentiometer (R106) on the remote control box.

Extraction unit (Option)

The extraction unit is used when the rock conditions vary a lot and there are major risks of drill jam.
The function for the extraction unit is to obtain “reverse percussion” for the shank adapter and thereby
to the drill string and drill bit, which is achieved by means of a special extraction piston. The shank
adapter for rock drills equipped with an extraction unit has a special flange which receives the
reversed percussion force. As the shank adapter is pressed into the rock drill via feed force during
normal drilling it works without the flange hitting the extraction unit piston.
Conditions for extraction unit:


For the extraction unit to be activated the above conditions must be fulfilled. When there is a risk of
drill jam, activate drill feed backward. The pilot pressure then activates the QDS-L valve and the
pump pressure is directed via a restrictor valve (ø2,0) to the extraction unit. (See figure)

Function
The drill steel threads are lubricated with two brushes (C) located on the lower part of the feed beam,
between the carousel and drill steel support. The drill steel passes these prior to threading.
1250 0095 04
1250 0095 11
A
The lubricant is supplied by a pump (B) located in a lubricant reservoir (A) at the front of the chassis
frame. The pump is powered by compressed air from the rig's compressor, and is controlled by
solenoid valve Y552. Valve Y552 can be activated automatically or manually, and is controlled by
switch S449 in the cab.
Operating
¾ Under normal conditions, the system operates automatically. The lubricant pump is activated
when the rod handling process is in position to move a drill steel to drill centre (hard grip). The
result is that every time a drill steel is removed from the carousel, a quantity of lubricant is
pumped (factory setting; 3 pulses / 10 seconds) into the brushes that the threads of the drill steel
pass through.
¾ If further lubrication is required, the system can be operated manually. In such a case, the lubricant
pump is activated so long as the switch for manual thread lubrication is activated.
¾ If thread lubrication is not required, the system can be switched off with the switch for thread
lubrication. (See figure on previous page)

Options
Control/adjustment

The amount of lubricants that are pumped out is 2
adjustable. An increase of the air flow will result in
a higher pump frequence. Factory setting is 3
pulses/10 sec. The maximum pressure to the pump
is adjusted to 7 bars by the pressure regulator (2)
which is displayed by the pressure gauge (3). The
system can be switched off by the bulb valve (4) or
by the electrical switch in the cabin.
1250 0095 12
Ensure that the oil mist lubrication device (5)
always contains pneumatic tool oil and that oil
drops from the drip tube in to the drip glass at
regular intervals.

length between the sensor and drill bit (in this case 4 m) is automatically shown on the display,
irrespective of how many metres have been drilled. This is done every time the hole depth is reset. In
this case, we know that there are 6 metres left to hole bottom (10-4=6 m).
