5 Design and function

5.1 Standard package

The machine is delivered fully assemble d an d is rea d y for use ou t of th e bo x.

The standard package includes:

 Vibratory plate
 Remote control (optional)
 Operator’s manual
 Manual for machine configuration (includes PIN data of the machine)

5.2 Application areas

The vibratory plate is used for compacting soil. It is used in gardening and landscaping as well as civil
engineering, road construction, and paving.

5.3 Short description

The water-cooled drive motor in the upper mas s hyd raulic ally powers the eccentric weight of the base
plate.

The exciter is designed as a centrally mounted exciter. This principle enables the modification of the
direction of oscillation (by adjusting the eccentric weights) and thus the movement of the machine
(forwards, in reverse or on-the-spot vibration).

For the exciter of the remote controlled machine, eccentric weights can be individually adjusted in order
to allow steering movements. In addition, spot vibration can be adjusted.

The cooler reduces the temperatur e of the engine coolant as well as that of the hydraulic oil.
The intake air is aspirated in the cold area between the cooler and the rear protective hood and purified

via an air cleaner equipped with a pre-cleaner.
The muffler discharges exhaust fumes from the front.
To start the drive motor automatically, the glow plugs are preheated. The speed of the drive motor is

controlled via a lifting magnet. The machine is switched off via an electrically controlled solenoid valve
on the fuel filter.

The electrical control unit is located in the electrical box.
The operator’s controls are located on the electrical box and the center pole head.
The maintenance-free starter ba tte r y is loca ted below the bracket for the remote control.
The machine is controlled with the center pole. For the remote controlled machine, it is controlled

exclusively via the remote control.

5.3.1 Remote-control vibratory plate

The machine is controlled exclusively by the remote control.
Within the receiving area, the commands of the remote control are transmitted to the machine via

infrared signal.
For trouble-free transmission of the infrared signal, the remote control must always be aimed directly at

one of the receiving units of the machine.

5 Design and function

The following commands are possible with the remote control:

 Start engine.
 Move machine with simultaneous vibration.
 Switch spot vibration on and off.
 Move machine slow or fast.
 Switch off engine.

Infrared system

If the remote control has been activated by pressing the ON/OFF switch, it permanently sends infrared
signals to the respective receiving unit of the machine.

The receiving unit of the machine converts the infrared signal into an electrical signal. The contro l
electronics process the electrical signal and control the machine in accordance with the control
command.

5 Design and function

Image in progress

In order for the machine to be able to execute the control commands, the remote control and machine
must be set to the same transmission channel.

Each machine has its own address for the transmission channel. Upon delivery, the transmitter unit is
set to the address of the machine and will only work with this machine. If the transmitter unit operates
another machine, this can be adjusted, see Setting the transmission channel (remote control) chapter.

If multiple remote controlled machines are operated in close proximity, the machines must be set to
different transmission channels.

Receiving area

Operation is only possible when the machine is within the receiving area. The receiving area is
approximately 20 meters from a receiving unit of the machine.

Within the receiving area, there must always be a clear lin e of sight between the re mote control and th e
machine. If there is no clear line of sight, the machine will cease all vibration and movement.

Outside of the receiving area, the machine will not receive the commands. The machine will stop
vibrating and moving.

Proximity area

If the machine comes within 1–2 meters (proximity area) of the operator, it will cease all vibration and
movement. Once the operator leaves the proximity area, the machine is once again able to receive
commands.

If the operator is laterally closer than 1–2 meters from th e machine or if the infrared signals of the remote
control are transmitted via reflection, a stopping of the vibration and movement is not guaranteed.

If another person comes within 1–2 meters (proximity area) of the machine, the machine will not cease
vibration and movement. The shutdown in the proximity area only works in conjunction with the remo te
control unit.

5.3.2 Diagnostic system

The diagnostic system of the machine consists of control electronics and sensors that monitor various
components of the machine.

If the diagnostic system detects a fault or an error, this is signale d to the receiving unit by solid or flashing
red lights. A fault indication with error code appears on the display.

Each error code stands for a specific fault. The diagnostic system can distinguish between approx. 30
error codes.

In case of serious faults, the error code is entered into the error memory, and the machine will
automatically switch off the motor or deactivate itself.

5.3.3 Machine configuration system

In the machine configuration system, machine parameters can be changed by the user (e.g. switching
an activation PIN on or off).

17 100_0202_sf_0010.fm

5.3.4 Machine protection – installation (optional)

The acceleration load of the upper mass is monitore d via a machine protection sensor. When a threshold
value corresponding to operation of the vib ratory plate on an extremely hard surface (concrete, asphalt)
is exceeded, a warning is given to the ope rator. This wa rning is that the control lamp on the center pole
head or the receiving unit will flash red.

In addition, the machine will respond in one of the following ways (adjustable in the machine
configuration):

 Only an entry in the error memory.
 Lowering the excitation speed.
 Shutdown of the machine with entry in the error memory.
 Switching to slow mode.

5.3.5 Compatec – compaction display (optional):

Compatec – compaction display is attached to the rear protective hood and is within the op erator ’s line­of-sight. The display, which consists of eight light-adjusting LEDs, displays the relative compaction
progress by successively lighting up. When the number of illuminated LEDs no longer increases, this
means that no further compaction can be achieved with the machine. The operator can finish the work
and avoid unnecessary passes or over-compaction of the soil.

The overload display indicates if the machine is being operated on too hard of a surface. The operator
is notified of this through rapid flashing of all eight LED's.

Compatec – compaction display is suitable for all highly compactable and mixed-grained soils.

Center pole

The center pole can be adjusted to the optimum working height.

Central lifting point

The central lifting point is used to lift the machine. When the overall height is a deciding factor, the central
lifting points can be folded.

Receiving units

On the remote controlled machine, there are two receiving units (front and r ear) with an integrated status
display. Depending on the position of the operator, the front or rear receiving unit receives the
commands of the remote controller via infrared signal.

The integrated status display uses lights and flashing signals to indicate the current operating status of
the machine.

To better distinguish between the front and rear of the machine, the rece iving units have different colors.

Eyelet for padlock

The rear protective hood features a lug for attaching a padlock. The machine is thus protected against
unauthorized opening of the rear protective hood as well as unauthorized operation.

Bracket for remote control and charging cable

The bracket is used to store and charge the remote control unit as well as to protect it against damage
and theft.

6.2 Operator’s controls
