Electrical Cabinets
Service Training

The main electrical cabinet on the machine is identified as X1 or Switch Cabinet. This is located in the cab module.

The second electrical cabinet is located between the engines, behind the hydraulic tank and is identified as the X15 or
Engine Switch Cabinet.

X1 Electrical Cabinet houses the Pump Management System (PMS), PLC, X1 terminal strip, and various relays and circuit
breakers.

Machines are fitted with the PMS 4 Pump Management System. The PMS 4 system fitted to the double engine machines
(RH90-RH400) have a PMS Master and Slave unit mounted on the door of the switch cabinet.

The X15 Electrical Cabinet houses the X15 terminal strip, Battery isolator and several relays and circuit breakers.

The circuit diagram (current flow diagram) is a representation of the electrical circuits of the machine in all their
details. The diagram shows the way in which the electrical supplies and components are connected, as well as
showing their functions.

The circuit diagram comprises several DIN A 4 sheets arranged in function groups.

All components are shown in the de-energized state (i.e. no current flowing) and without any actuating elements
acting.

Symbols used are according to the DIN standards 40 700, 40 703, 40 708 and 40 711 to 40 716.

Each page is divided into columns 0-9 or current paths with a description below each current path.

The power supply always is drawn across the top of the page and earth along the bottom.

Each page has a page number or “Blatt Sheet” located in the bottom right corner. On the bottom left corner is the
machine model that the electrical drawing is applicable to.

Electrical Drawings – Key to Components
Service Training

The key to electrical components in the circuit diagram is a systematically arranged list which supplements the circuit
diagram. Its purpose is to locate components both in the circuit diagrams and on the machine itself. It also contains
the components’ Part No’s.

The key is divided into the following columns:

Part
Quantity
Designation and Function
Current Path
Location
Part No.
Part::This column lists all electrical components alphabetically. The coding letters used designate the type of
component as specified in DIN 40 719.

Quantity: States the number of particular component parts on the machine.

Designation and Function: This column states the type of component (e.g.. warning light) and its function (e.g..
hydraulic oil level “min”).

Current Path: The current path numbers appear at the top edge of the circuit diagram sheets. They are provided to
help in the location of electrical components in the circuit diagrams.

Location:The location is the approximate position on the machine in which the electrical component is installed.

Part No: This is the Part No. for ordering spare parts. If no Part No. is given, then the part concerned is associated
with the electrical system but is contained in another assembly group. The Part No. must then be determined using
the relevant spare parts sheet.

Connection Table – terminal strip X1

The “Connection tables – terminal strips” show the connections between electrical components. They are exact
illustrations of the terminal strips as fitted in the machine. The key to the circuit diagram gives the exact location of the
various terminal strips.The connection tables make it possible to locate the cable connections of a particular component
without having to “ring through” the cables.

Arrangement of the table:

End points (targets) Type of terminal End points (targets)
Cable cross section Bridges (jumpers)
Potential Terminal No.

End Point: The end point numbers serve in the location of the contact point of a terminal number. They state the
receiver and its connection point. End point numbers 1 and 2 are at the top, 3 and 4 at the bottom.The cables have
tagged sleeves with the appropriate end point number. This makes re-connection easy (and accurate) after several
cables have been disconnected at the same time (e.g.. during trouble-shooting).

Bridges: If terminal points need to be extended, the relevant terminals are inter-connected with bridges (jumpers). The
terminal No. is then the same for all bridges terminals. Bridges are indicated by a vertical bar Terminal No: All
terminals on a particular strip are listed here. The numbers are also to be found on the strip (in switch box).

Type of terminal: This column contains the terminal coding used by the manufacturer.

Cable cross section: The cross section of the incoming/outgoing cable.

Potential: This column indicates the voltage potential of the relevant terminal point. No entry means that the potential is
24 volt.

Connection Table – plug connections X4 & X71

The “Connection table – plug connections” (Fig. 2) gives the pin and sleeve connections of multi-pole plug
connections

End Point – sleeve connections

Ø mm2
No.
End point – pin connections

End Point: This is the number of the end point of the sockets (sleeve connections). Otherwise as described under
Point 4.1.

Ø mm2: The cross section of the incoming/outgoing cable

No: This number is that of the relevant pin or sleeve connection. The numbers are stamped into the plug housing.

End Point: End point no. of the plug (pin connections).
