Failure to stay clear of the equipment while the equipment is being lowered may result in personal injury.


------ WARNING! ------

Do not operate or work on this machine unless you have read and understand the instructions and warnings in the Operation and Maintenance Manual. Failure to follow the instructions or heed the warnings could result in injury or death. Contact any Caterpillar dealer for replacement manuals. Proper care is your responsibility.


Weld Specifications and Qualifications

------ WARNING! ------

Personal injury or death can result from fumes, gases and ultraviolet rays from the weld arc.

Welding can cause fumes, burn skin and produce ultraviolet rays.

Keep your head out of the fumes. Use ventilation, exhaust at the arc, or both, to keep fumes and gases from your breathing area. Wear eye, ear and body protection before working.

Protect yourself and others; read and understand this warning. Fumes and gases can be dangerous to your health. Ultraviolet rays from the weld arc can injure eyes and burn skin. Electric shock can cause death.

Read and understand the manufacturer's instructions and your employer's safety practices. Do not touch live electrical parts.

See "American National Standard Z49.1, Safety in Welding and Cutting" published by the American Welding Society.

American Welding Society
2501 N.W. 7th Street
Miami, Florida 33125

See "OSHA Safety and Health Standards, 29 CFR 1910", available from U.S. Department of Labor.

U.S. Department of Labor
Washington, D.C. 20210

Note: Personal breathing protection should be worn by the personnel that are welding. Personal breathing protection will prevent fumes from entering the lungs of the person that is welding. Use a 1U-8088 Type H Respirator Gp for breathing protection.

Welders must be qualified for fillet welding and groove welding. The welder must be qualified in different welding angles. The angles are vertical, horizontal, and so on. The welders should be qualified in the use of the welding processes that follow: Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) and Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW). Refer to ISO 9606 or "American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/American Welding Society (AWS) Specification D1.1, or Specification D14.3" for information that regards the qualifications for the processes that follow: SMAW process, FCAW process, and GMAW process. The welders must have used the process at some time within the last 6 months. The welders must complete the process of certification if the welders have not used the welding processes for 6 months.

The power source should be able to supply 500 A or more with DC current for the welding operation. The power source should be able to gouge metal with 500 A.

Use the direct current electrode positive (DC reverse polarity).

The welding wire must be shielded with CO2 gas or Argon/CO2 80/20 gas.

All repair welds should be done in a controlled environment. Controlled environments prevent the rapid cooldown after the repair. Controlled environments would be inside a repair shop.

All welds should be done in the horizontal position to make a smooth surface finish.

If the vertical position must be used in the welding procedure, the operation should be performed in the "vertical up" direction, instead of the "vertical down" direction.

Table 1
Allowed Filler Material 
AWS A5.18 ER70S-6 
DIN 8559 SG3 
EN 440 G4Si1 

Recommended European weld consumables: SAF Oerlikon Carbofil SG3, ESAB OK Autrod 12.64, Pittini Pitarc G9, or Thyssen® Union k56

If only manual welding is possible, use ESAB OK 48.00 with a rod diameter of 3.25 mm (0.128 inch) or the equivalent AWS A5.1 E7018 or EN ISO 2560-A E 42 4 B 42 H5.

If welding quenched steel or tempered steel, the recommendation is to use specific filler metal with higher mechanical properties and lower hydrogen levels such as flux cored wire with AWS A5.20 Class E70T-5 specification. If something other than an AWS A5.20 Class E70T-5 Electrode is used, preheat to 200° C (392° F) and maintain an interpass temperature at 150° C (302° F).

Mask all parts prior to gouging.

Proper Welding Procedure on Machines and Engines with Electronic Controls

Proper precautions are necessary to prevent damage to electronic controls. When you weld on a machine with electronic controls, use the steps that follow:

  1. Turn off the engine. Put the key start switch in the OFF position.

  2. If the machine has a battery disconnect switch, open the switch. If the machine does not have a battery disconnect switch, disconnect the negative battery cable at the battery.

  3. Connect the ground cable for the welder directly to the actual machine component that will be welded. Attach the clamp for the ground cable as close as possible to the area that is being welded. This will reduce the chance of damage from welding current to the components that follow: bearings, hydraulic components, and electrical components.

    Note: Do NOT use electrical components as a ground point for the welder. Do NOT use ground points for electronic components as a ground point for the welder.

  4. Protect the wiring harnesses from the weld splatter.

Preparing the Metal for Welding

------ WARNING! ------

Personal injury can result from flame cutting or welding on painted areas.

The effect of gasses from burned paint is a hazard to the person doing the cutting or welding.

Do not flame cut or weld on painted areas.


All grease, water, paint, rust, dirt, and scale must be removed before welding. Any of these materials will discharge gas which will cause porosity in the weld deposit. Water and rust will cause hydrogen embrittlement. Hydrogen embrittlement causes cracks in the weld deposit.

Adjust the Object Detection Sensors

Reference: Refer to Troubleshooting, Testing and Adjusting, UENR1274, "Cat® Detect Object Detection System" for additional information.

There are two angle adjustments for the object detection sensors. The adjustments are the azimuth or horizontal adjustment and the elevation or the vertical adjustment. The angles that are provided in Table 19 are the angles that were found to work best.

These angles are a guideline and may require an adjustment of a few degrees to bring the detection area of the system into an acceptable limit. This adjustment is necessary because of differences in machines that are not controlled by Caterpillar.

The type of tires that are used on a machine may affect the height of the machine. This procedure must be used with the "Calibrate the Object Detection Sensors" procedure that is contained in the manual.

Flash the Software onto the Display

The display is shipped without the application software installed. Use the following procedure to flash the application software into the display.

Required Material

  • Caterpillar Electronic Technician Cat (ET)

  • Communication Adapter

  • 425-6889 Cable As

  • 479-4193 Wiring Cable Assembly

  • Software

Note: Latest software is available in SIS.

Procedure

Reference: Refer to touch screen section of Special Instruction, REHS7353, "Procedure for Installing Object Detection Software on Monitor Display Group" for full flashing instructions.

Note: Software can be downloaded from SIS web, refer to the latest Object Detection Service Magazine for part numbers.

System Information

Note: For complete installation instructions, refer to the Object Detection OMM and System Operations manual.

The system is designed to enhance operator awareness of surroundings. Use of this system does not replace basic safety precautions and procedures for operating the machine.

The object detection system uses radar and video to provide the operator with additional information about the work area around the machine. The display interfaces with the radar sensors that are mounted around the machine. The radar sensors provide detection of objects that are normally in areas of restricted visibility around the machine. The system may detect objects as small as a standing adult person.

Recognition of an object is dependent upon the material composition and the geometry of the object. The system may detect an object that is the size of a standing adult human. However, due to the limited number mounting areas for the object detection sensors on the machine, there are gaps in the radar coverage that would allow the system to miss a person.

Objects are most likely to enter the areas of restricted radar detection when the machine has been stopped. The system operation can be configured for "Distance" based operation or "Speed" based operation. This is selectable via the configuration menu. This option is not operator configurable. The service tool must be connected to the machine and communicating to change this option.

The "Distance" based option activates when the key switch is turned to the ON position and remains in the active state until the machine transitions from a stopped state and has traveled for a minimum of 12 m (40 ft) in the forward direction. The system remains in the active state anytime the machine is traveling in reverse. The system will return to the active state automatically after the machine is brought to a complete stop and after the machine has remained stopped for the delay time that has been configured. The reactivation delay is used to stop the system from transitioning from the standby state to the active state while making short stops.

The "Speed" based option allows the system to remain active when the machine is traveling in the forward direction at speeds less than 8 km/h (5 mph). The system will transition to the standby mode when the machine is traveling in the forward direction at speeds less than 8 km/h (5 mph). The system will become active whenever the machine speed falls below 4.8 km/h (3 mph) for the configured delay activation time. The system will always be active when the machine is traveling in reverse.

Effects on System Operation

The operation of the system can be affected by any of the following factors.

------ WARNING! ------

Personal injury or death could result without observing the following information.

Environmental conditions, installation, and topographical factors can effect the proper operation of the Cat Integrated Object Detection System. The following information must be taken into consideration.


Environmental - Weather conditions such as rain, snow, and sleet can create road conditions that may cause mud to build up on the face of the object detection sensor. The moisture in the mud can reduce the effectiveness of the coverage of the radar. The mud absorbs the RF energy that is emitted by the object detection sensors. If an accumulation of mud is observed on the object detection sensors, then clean the surface of the sensor. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Object Detection Sensor - Clean/Inspect" section of this manual for addition information on how to clean the sensors.

Note: The object detection sensors have blockage detection diagnostics that display a message on the display when mud or other substances block the object detection sensors. The event will remain active until the sensor has been cleaned or the blockage is removed.

Installation - Incorrect sensor bracket installation and or alignment may also cause the object detection sensors to give nuisance warnings to the operator. The system may sense false objects because the object detection sensors are not set to the correct angle.

Note: The brackets may become misaligned over time because of shock and vibration the machine is subjected to during normal operations. The condition of the radar brackets should be inspected daily.

Topographical - The system may sense objects even though no objects are present. These detections may occur if the grade of a haul road, a loading area, or a ready line are significant enough to reflect RF energy in the same way as a vehicle or berm would. One or more false objects are possible when a V-ditch is utilized when parking the machine. The V-ditch can cause a false indication at the front or sides of the machine.

If an object is in the critical zone, the display will provide an audible and visual warning.

Any critical zone warning that has not been acknowledged will trigger an audible alarm if either of the following conditions are true.

  1. If the operator has placed the machine in gear, and attempts to move in the direction that an object is detected. This situation applies to the rear of the machine only.

  2. If the operator has placed the machine in gear, and attempts to move in the direction that an object is detected. This situation applies to the rear of the machine only.


NOTICE

Radar information will not be used to determine the exact position of the object. Only the general area of the object relative to the machine will be displayed. The operator must use the camera for the designated machine quadrant to determine if the object is in the path of the machine and if evasive action is required.


------ WARNING! ------

Identify the object and the location of the object before you move the machine. Failure to identify the object and the location of the object prior to moving the machine can result in product damage, personal injury, or death.

  • Partial view of the front left or right corner of the dump body

  • Partial view of the front left or right fender

  • Partial view of the front left or right tire

  • View of an object on the ground to the right of the front left or right corner of the machine

Calibrate the Object Detection Sensors

This procedure is used to calibrate the object detection sensors. The object detection sensors must be calibrated if any of the conditions that are listed below have occurred:

  • Initial installation of the object detection system.

  • Any of the object detection sensors were replaced.

  • Any of the object detection sensors have been adjusted or the brackets replaced.

This procedure is used to validate that the radars for the system have been installed and adjusted correctly. The procedure will utilize an object. The object will be used to explore the limits of radar coverage.

This procedure will define the radar mapping coverage for objects. The angles at which the radar brackets are oriented determine the proper coverage area of the radars and avoid ground reflections. Ground reflections caused by improperly positioned radar brackets may cause false detections. Record any instances where the alarm system failed to perform properly, including any nuisance alarms. A case where there might be holes in coverage, such that the object might disappear, should be avoided.

Machine Preparation

Note: Prior to performing this procedure ensure that all components are installed in the appropriate positions as described in the "Adjust the Object Detection Sensors" section of this manual and adjust the camera angles to obtain the best view of coverage areas.

  1. Park the machine in a wide open area that is large and level. This area should have 30 m (98.5 ft) of clearance to rear of the machine.

  2. Set the parking brake.

  3. Turn the disconnect switch to the ON position

  4. Start the machine.

  5. Verify that the system is powered up and the system status indicator and the system fault indicators are illuminated green on the display.

  6. While the machine is parked in the large wide open area check for any surrounding obstacles like bumps, by observing the display for any flashing areas in the radar detection area. The situations that are listed in Table 27 can cause false objects to be detected and are listed in order of precedence:

    Table 27
    Description of Cause  Resolution 
    Test area is not level, area in front or rear of machine has an uphill slope.  Find a test area that is more level or reposition the area of the machine being validated to face the area with the down hill slope to calibrate the system. Do not use an area with too great of slope (2 to 3 percent max) to validate the system. 
    The object detection sensor angle is too low and is detecting ground reflections.  The object detection sensor angles provided in the installation information were determined to be the optimum angles for installation, however due to installation variations and differences in machines the actual angle may require adjustment. Refer to "Adjust the Object Detection Sensors" section of this manual for additional information 
    There is mud or some other type of debris blocking the sensor.  This is unlikely to occur unless there is an active event displayed on the display. Clean the object detection sensors to eliminate the issue. 

Calibrate Procedure

The calibration process consists of a person referred to as the object being moved into and out of the object detection sensors coverage area. The person moving the object will be told to stop via radio whenever the object appears or disappears on the display. This procedure is performed to determine the limits of the coverage area and any identify holes that may exist in the coverage area. In the case that the limits of the coverage area are inadequate, adjustments will need to be made to the angles of the object detection sensors and the brackets of the object detection sensors. This procedure will be performed for the following areas of the machine:

  • Front

  • Rear

  • Sides

Front of the Machine

Lay out a line perpendicular to the centerline of the radar. Extend the line 15 m (50 ft). Lay out extra lines parallel to the centerline of the radar. Lay out lines at the following intervals:

  • 1 m (3 ft)

  • 1.5 m (5 ft)

  • 3 m (10 ft)

  • 6 m (20 ft)

  • 9 m (30 ft)

  • 12 m (40 ft)

  • 15 m (50 ft)

The object will be moved close to the machine and parallel to the front of the machine and the display is checked for the object detection. The object will then be moved perpendicular to the front of the machine as shown in Illustration 80. The object should start close to the machine for the first pass and work away from the machine with each successive pass. Stop the passes once the object is no longer detected.



Illustration 80g02401176
Testing the object detection coverage area at the front of the machine

The person in the cab of the machine will inform the person moving the object when to mark the coverage start/stop point. The start/stop points must be marked when the object first appears or first disappears from radar coverage on the display. The designated reference point for the rear radar will be the center of the machine. The distance from the initial perpendicular detection must be measured and should be approximately 2 m (6.6 ft) from the front of the machine. Refer to Illustration 81.

If the detection area is not approximately 10 m (32 ft) long by 7 m (23 ft) wide, or the coverage area contains holes, adjust the angles of the brackets for the object detection sensors. Refer to the "Adjust the Object Detection Sensors" section of this manual for additional information regarding the adjustment of the brackets.

Note: If the detection area is larger than the dimensions listed above, adjustment of the object detection sensors is not required.

Operate the machine to determine if more adjustment is required.

Rear of the Machine

Lay out a line perpendicular to the center line of the radar. Extend the line 15 m (50 ft). Lay out additional lines parallel to the center line of the radar. Lay out lines at the following intervals:

  • 1 m (3 ft)

  • 1.5 m (5 ft)

  • 3 m (10 ft)

  • 6 m (20 ft)

  • 9 m (30 ft)

  • 12 m (40 ft)

  • 15 m (50 ft)

The object will be moved close to the machine and parallel to the rear of the machine and the display is checked for the object detection. The object will then be moved perpendicular to the rear of the machine as shown in Illustration 82. The object should start close to the machine for the first pass and work away from the machine with each successive pass. Stop the passes once the object is no longer detected.

The person in the cab of the machine will inform the person moving the object when to mark the coverage start/stop point. The start/stop points must be marked when the object first appears or first disappears from radar coverage on the display. The designated reference point for the rear radar will be the center of the machine. The distance from the initial perpendicular detection must be measured and should be approximately 2 m (6.6 ft) from the rear of the machine. Refer to Illustration 83.

If the detection area is to narrow or contains holes in the coverage area the angles of the brackets of the object detection sensors. Refer to the "Adjust the Object Detection Sensors" section of this manual for additional information regarding the adjustment of the brackets.

Note: If the detection area is larger than the dimensions listed above, adjustment of the object detection sensors is not required.

Operate the machine to determine if more adjustment is required.

Right Side and Left Side of the Machine

Lay out a line perpendicular to the centerline of the radar. Extend the line 6 m (20 ft). Lay out extra lines parallel to the centerline of the radar. Lay out lines at the following intervals:

  • 0.5 m (1.5 ft)

  • 1 m (3 ft)

  • 1.5 m (5 ft)

  • 3 m (10 ft)

The object will be moved close to the machine and parallel to the side of the machine and the display is checked for the object detection. The object will then be moved perpendicular to the rear of the machine as shown in Illustration 84. The object should start close to the machine for the first pass and work away from the machine with each successive pass. Stop the passes once the object is no longer detected.

This pattern will be completed on both sides of the machine. The object should start outside of the detection range of the radar. The object will walk parallel to the machine and stop whenever the object appears in the radar detection area.

Object moving on side of machine

The person in the cab of the machine will inform the person moving the object when to mark the coverage start/stop point. The start/stop points must be marked when the object first appears or first disappears from radar coverage on the display. The designated reference point for the rear radar will be the center of the machine. The distance from the initial perpendicular detection must be measured and should be approximately 0.3 m (1.0 ft) from the rear of the machine. Refer to Illustration 85.
