OEM OPTION 2
Set OEM2 options, For the most part the usual setup is as per the slide, The technician should physically check if a
pressure switch is added at the rear of the Control Cabinet in order to make the correct selection for Control Group
Pressure Sensor Present.
The choice for RP Strategy, this relates to how the RP contactors react to release of the Retard pedal. (0) RP1 will follow
the Retard Pedal, (1) RP1 is held closed for 20 seconds with minimal retardation, (2) ) RP1 is held closed for 20 seconds
with zero retardation. THIS IS NOT APPLICABLE TO 730E QUAD CHOPPER SYSTEM
Engine Warm Up feature is standard on 730E, for trucks which are equipped with a “Engine Warming” switch, option 1 or
2 should be chosen, option (1) will cause energy dissipation in the Grid, option (2) will add energy dissipation in the
Inverters and wheel windings by causing a small amount of DC to flow in the Traction Motor windings. Note that the truck
will NOT propel in this mode.
The Engine warm up mode speed must also be set, the minimum set speed is 1000 rpm, the default/recommended set
speed is 1200 rpm for general applications.
Link ON, minimum Engine speed allows this function to be SET from the DID panel when option (1) is selected.
The, Service Brake applied at speed event option can be selected at applications where excessive use of service brakes
is a concern, if set, an event 647 will be logged in the DSC, each and every time the operator makes use of service
brakes above 8 mph. Note that DSC also collects counter data for the same condition irrespective of the setting in this
box.
The technician should consult with the mine about the desired production reaction to Payload overload, select 0, for no
system reaction, 1 to impose a drive system speed limit and log Event 635, or select 2 for NO Propel and log Event 634.
Select option 0 for PLM payload monitor, in the Overload Input Sense field, note that this overloaded control signal is now
broadcast over CAN.
OEM OPTION 3
OEM Options 3, ver5.00 and up has a new feature which deals with the management of Data Packs in memory, by
specifying a value between 30 and 9999 days the user can cause all “older than” <specified days> data packs to be
deleted from memory.
Grid Blower delta current of 10 Amp or more will set a Propel speed restriction when the option is set to (1)
Engine, is the facility to De-rate the Engine in special cases where an Engine is nearing its end of life.
Loaded and Unloaded speed limits must set with consultation with the Mine Owners.
Note the Overloaded Truck max speed option will only take effect if the correct choices were made on the OEM2 page.
Product Service is not essential information and can be left blank.
Wheel Motor Type is where the correct version/model Motorized wheel, selection is made.
OEM OPTION
● Generally 17FB187 and 190 cards are shipped with the latest OS installed,
however v5.xx field updates require new application and OS codes that are
kept in; C:\GETrans\ wPTU_10.1\sw folder.
● Two (2) Thumb Drives must be prepared by
copying the correct software found in the
wPTU_10.1 SW folder.
● Status LED’s 3 & 4 will turn ON, Old Boot Flash will be erased (+/- 80 seconds )
● Installation and programming of new Boot Flash will start when red status LED 2 is also ON.
● After programming has completed, the status 1 LED will flash green.
● Switch CPS OFF, remove Thumb Drive, remove card and BTWR jumper then return card to panel.
● Switch CPS back on and system will boot up normally
● Using the DID panel, calibrate pedals, set truck ID and verify system time
● Perform new installation check out as specified in SMI41A322501xx
Refer back to the INVERTEX CONSOLE section of this training module for details on
how to start a CONSOLE SESSION.
