Structure and function | 21 4 Structure and function 4.1 Overview 1 Coupling 7 Electrical power connection 2 Hose reel 8 Carry handle (front) 3 Equipment brackets 9 Hydraulic oil tank 4 Control lever (red hose) 10 Frame 5 Control lever (yellow hose) 11 Carry handle (rear) 6 Engine Brief description Hydraulic power units serve the operation of the associated hydraulic rescue devices. They are available with an electrical engine and with a combustion engine. Furthermore, one differentiates between equipment with and without integrated rapid deployment reels and compact power units. With almost all units, two devices can be operated at the same time, or one device in turbo mode. On the hose reel, there are two hoses (available as a pair or as a COAX hose), one 15 m and the other 20 m long, that can be unrolled effortlessly even under pressure.
22 | Structure and function Hydraulic supply Hoses The connection of the device with the power unit is carried out via high pressure hoses. Hoses are available in lengths of 5 m, 10 m, 15 m and 20 m. As the length of the lines increases so too does the associated pressure loss. With a line length of 50 metres this pressure loss remains acceptable and has no significant effect. CAUTION! Do not use damaged hoses! With damaged hoses there is a danger of escaping hydraulic medium under pressure, or of the hoses whipping around. Therefore: » The hoses should be subjected to a visual inspection (leak- tightness, surface damage such as kinks) after every use and at least once per year. » Every three years, or in the event of doubts about the safety or reliability, carry out an additional functional and load test (as per DGUV Grundsatz 305-002 or specific national directive). » Replace hoses every 10 years! The date (code letters or quarter/year) is specified on the hose bonding. » Ensure that the hoses are not exposed to tension or torsion (turning). » Do not kink the hoses or draw them over edges (smallest bend radius 40 mm). » Do not subject the hoses to high temperatures. »...

Structure and function | 23 Hydraulic oil All power units are designed and tested for WEBER hydraulic oil Part no. 804932. This oil possesses a particularly high purity level and also works flawlessly at temperatures below zero, down to -20° C. With limitations in the low temperature range (lower output), however, a standard oil (mineral based) of viscosity class HLP 10 or HVLP 10 can be used in keeping with DIN 51502. NOTE ! We recommend the following hydraulic oils for trouble-free operation of WEBER RESCUE devices: » AERO Fluid 41 (Shell) » Univis HVI-13 (Esso) » Aero-hydraulic 520 (Total) » Hydraulik DB (Castrol) » Renolin/MR310 (Fuchs) » HVI Extra 380 (Maier & Korduletsch) » Hydrex Arctic 15 (Petro Canada) » Naturelle HFE 15 (Shell) Oil level indicator There is a sight glass located on the side of the oil tank, with which the oil level can be monitored. This must be checked regularly after every use. The oil must be topped up if required.
24 | Structure and function Equipment connections SINGLE coupling Connecting: Remove the protective cap from the coupling male and the coupling female (Fig. 1). Conflate Single coupling male and female in the bayonet catch (Fig. 2). Hold coupling female on the black slew ring and turn clockwise until the coupling snaps in (Fig. 3). Put protective caps together (Fig. 4). You don’t have to switch the power unit to position 0 to connect or disconnect the coupling! Disconnecting: Remove the protective caps. Hold coupling female on the black slew ring and turn anticlockwise direction. Turn the black slew ring until you can release the coupling easily. Put protective caps to coupling male and the coupling female. Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3 Fig. 4 NOTE ! When using the SINGLE coupling, pressure relief connectors are no longer required.
Page 25
Structure and function | 25 Plug-in coupling (SKS) Connecting: Remove the protective cap from the coupling male. Take hold of the coupling female by the knurled sleeve cover and pull out the protective plug. With one hand take hold of sleeve cover of the coupling female, with the other grasp the coupling male (black) by the hex nut, and press the sleeve cover slightly against the coupling male until the ball bearings engage. Twisting the male coupling slightly when pressing togehter eases the coupling process. Disconnecting: Grasp the coupling male (black) by the hex nut with one hand and with the other take hold of the sleeve cover and draw it back. The disconnecting will cause a few drops of hydraulic oil to escape. Plug in the protective caps immediately. CAUTION! When coupling SKS connections the power unit operating lever must be in the „0“ position. NOTE ! A pressure relief connector is fitted to the hydraulic power units and the hand pump, with which a few drops of oil can be discharged from the hoses. This permits re-coupling following pressure increases in de- coupled equipment. In this case simply insert the pressure relief connector into the coupling sleeve and turn the knurled screw to the right until oil leaks out.
26 | Operation 5 Operation General To start the unit with an electric motor, the device must be connected to a power source. Then set the main switch (if present) to position 1 or press the corresponding knob until it lights up white. For starting units with combustion engines, please read the accompanying operating manual from the engine manufacturer. Special steps for starting the individual units are discussed separately below. CAUTION! When using SKS couplings the engine must never be started before the control lever is out of the „0“ position and the work equipment is connected! With single couplings this is not necessary. E/V 50 T-SAH 20, E/V 50 T-SAH 15 COAX, V 40 S, E/V 50 S, V 50 ECO, V-ECOCOMPACT The power unit is operated by the two control levers (between the equipment brackets). The oil flow in the two hose sets is controlled by these. The middle position of the control levers represents the „0“ position. Two-way operation (with turbo function): In order to feed the entire oil flow into the left hose pair, both control levers must be turned to the left.
Operation | 27 Simultaneous operation: In order to supply both hose pairs simultaneously (with split oil flow), the left control lever must be turned to the left and the right control lever must be turned to the right. NOTE! The oil flow is likewise split if one lever is operated and the other remains in the „0“ position. It is therefore necessary to operate both control levers for the turbo function. E/V 70 W-SAH 20, E/V 70 W-SAH 20 COAX To start the electrical version of the device, actuate the ON/OFF switch (knob) located between the two reels. The signal light on the ON/OFF switch then lights up in white and the motor starts automatically. Two-way operation (with turbo function): In order to feed the entire oil flow into the left hose pair, both control levers must be turned to the left. In order to feed the whole oil flow into the right hose pair, both control levers must be turned to the right. Simultaneous operation: In order to supply both hose pairs simultaneously (with split oil flow), the left control lever must be turned to the left and the right control lever must be turned to the right.
28 | Operation E/V 400 S The power unit is operated by the control lever (adjacent to the connection for the high pressure hose). The oil flow in the hose pair is controlled by this. The control lever position perpendicular to the equipment (on „0“) represents the „0“ position. To operate, simply turn the control lever in the direction of the arrow. This initiates the oil flow in the hose pair. 5.5 BATTERY PAC ECO The BATTERY PAC can be carried on the shoulder or used as an independent stand-alone battery powered power unit. In order to start the device it is necessary to actuate the on/off buton on the top of the housing (Fig. 1). The signal light on the on/off switch subsequently lights up in white and the BATTERY PACK starts automatically in ECO mode (idle speed). Only after pressing the pushbutton on the connected work tool does the speed increase automatically and then decrease again. This saves energy (runtime in ECO mode of 5 hours per battery) and avoids unnecessary noise. Fig. 1 You can operate the unit with one battery or with two batteries operating in parallel (batteries are then drained parallel as well). The battery is inserted into the battery compartment. Simul- taneously pressing the unlocking mechanism releases the battery from the unit.
Operation | 29 The coupling can be stored in the side pocket (Fig. 2). After use the hydraulic fluid level should always be between Min. and Max. so that all of the units can be operated, as the nominal pressure and tank content are designed to operate all WEBER rescue equipment. The oil tank can be filled / drained very easily by retracting or expan- ding a rescue tool (Fig. 3). Fig. 2 Fig. 3 V-ECOSILENT To start the power unit the yellow ECO lever must first be set to the start position („S“). Then turn the the ignition switch (rotary switch) to the right to „Choke“ and start the engine with the pull-chord. After warming up turn the ignition switch to position „1“ and set the ECO lever to „ECO“. Control In order to control the outputs, two control levers are fitted directly above the couplings. It is possible to control the oil flow with these (by sliding to the side; similar to E/V 50-T). Fuel tap When transporting the power unit for an extended period the fuel feed can be shut off. In order to do so it is necessary to close the fuel tap (red). This is located under the maintenance cover on the pull- chord side. Petrol tank The petrol tank can be filled via the filling port under the black cover flap on the top side of the device. The fuel level can be seen on the display on the operator panel.
30 | Operation E-Compact Operation Before starting the electric engine, check that all electrical connections and cables are in proper order. Insert the plug into a 230 V socket. Press the ON/OFF switch on the top of the unit. The unit starts automatically and a green LED lights up. Connect the hose and set the control lever to position 1. The unit is now ready to operate. Service instruction The “Attention” LED (RED) will light up under load after about 200 operating hours. After that, the unit can be used for another 10 to 20 operating hours before the electric motor’s carbon brushes need to be changed. This must be done by a qualified person. 1 ON/OFF button 2 LED attention (red) 3 LED operation (green) 4 Oil filling plug (Weber hydraulic oil) 5 Control lever...
Operation | 31 5.8 B-COMPACT ECO Operation One battery as a minimum, or a 230V power supply, must be connected for the purpose of operation. Press the on/off button on top of the unit to switch it on (button lights up in white and the motor starts in ECO-mode). Subsequently connect the hose and set the control lever to position 1 (see page 30). The unit is now ready for operation. When the unit is switched on the LEDs mounted on both sides are also simultaneously activated, so that the unit can also be used as a portable spotlight en route to the installation site. Only after pressing the pushbutton on the connected work tool does the speed increase automatically and then decrease again. This saves energy (runtime in ECO mode of 5 hours per battery) and avoids unnecessary noise. Battery operation The B-COMPACT can be optionally operated using one battery, two batteries or a power supply. Both power sources are always drained in parallel here, whilst the speed or capacity of the unit is not affected by this. It is possible to remove the battery from the device again by simultaneously pressing the two lock releases. DPH/DPF 4018 SA (hand pump) In order start up the hand pump, first turn the pressure relief valve counter-clockwise and operate the pump lever a few times. This exhausts the air from the pump. Finally, turn the pressure relief valve fully in a clockwise direction and do not open it again during subsequent work with the equipment! It is now possible to initiate the oil flow to the rescue equipment by actuating the pump lever.

34 | Battery and charger 6.3 Intended use This charger charges the 28V Li-ion battery of the M 28/V28 system delivered with the battery- powered devices. This device must be used only as specified and intended. Power line connection Only connect to single-phase AC current and only to the line voltage specified on the type plate. Connection to power sockets without an earthing contact is possible, because this is a protection class II design. Li-Ion battery For safety reasons (air transport regulations), the batteries are delivered uncharged. Before first use, the battery must be completely charged. LED charge status display Figure 1 If the battery is not used for a prolonged period of time, the battery switches to standby mode. To use again, the battery must be reactivated (recharged). The charge status can be called up by pressing the button on the battery (see Fig 1). To do this, the battery can remain in the battery-powered device, but it must be switched off at least 1 minute beforehand (otherwise the display will not be accurate). The number of glowing LEDs indicates the charge status. The basic principle is: If the battery-powered device does not function after the battery is inserted, put the battery onto the charger for testing. The displays on the battery and charger give information about the battery charge status. At low temperatures, the work can be still be carried out with lower performance. For best operational readiness, the batteries must be fully charged after use.
Battery and charger | 35 Charging process After inserting the battery into the charger's insertion slot, the battery is charged automatically (red LED glows continuously). If too warm or cold a battery is inserted into the charger (red LED flashes), the charging process starts automatically as soon as the battery has reached the correct charging temperature (0°C to 65°C). The maximum charging current flows if the temperature of the Li-ion battery is between 0°C and 65°C. The charging time is between 1 min. and 60 min., depending on how much the battery has drained (at 3.0 Ah). The charge time for the 5.0 Ah rechargeable battery lies between 1 min and 90 min. If the battery is fully charged, the LED on the charger switches from red to green. The battery does not need to be removed from the charger after charging. The battery can continue to stay in the charger. This cannot overload the battery, and it keeps the battery ready to use. If both LEDs flash alternately, the battery is either not correctly placed or a malfunction of either the battery or charger has occurred. For safety reasons, remove the charger and battery from service immediately and have it checked by an authorized customer service centre. flashing alternately! If the power adapter is overloaded, all LEDs flash 4 times. To be able to continue charging, unplug the power adapter and plug it back in. flashing simultaneously!
