I. GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION SAFETY FIRST! The symbols shown identify examples of the safety labels and signs to be found on InterSystems equipment. They are affixed to the equipment to warn of danger to persons and of possible equipment damage. These signs must never be removed, tampered with, painted over or obscured in any way.
II. GENERAL INFORMATION 2.1 System Description The Truck Probe is designed to collect a representative sample of granular, pellet, chip, flake or other materials from an open top hopper truck. Figure 2-1 illustrates a typical Truck Probe installation. Sample collection is initiated in response to the operator's manual command generated by controller logic. A sample cycle begins when the operator positions the probe tip for insertion into the truck by rotating the boom and stroking it in or out to the desired sampling position.
2.2 Optional Features The certified drawings indicate which, if any, optional features are included with a Truck Probe System. Some of the more frequently specified optional features are briefly described in the following list. Additional optional items that may be furnished if described in the Equipment Quotation and if specifically ordered, may include some or all of the following items: A.
III. GENERAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS 3.1 Receiving Inspection Carefully inspect the equipment for damage as soon as it is received. Also, verify that the quantity of parts or packages actually received corresponds to the quantity shown on the packing slip. Report any damage or shortage to the delivering carrier as soon as possible.
F. Plan the location of the Sample Collection Cabinet. Most often the desired site is at the beginning of the sample grading process in the grain inspection area. If the material other than grain is being sampled, other criteria may apply. G.

Compartmentized Probe only: Cut & install one 5’-0” length of vacuum hose between the probe tip & the inner telescoping vacuum tube. Clamp in place using the worm screw clamps provided in the hardware package. J. Core Probe only: Install the core vacuum tube kit provided. Refer to the kit installation drawing and the already installed vacuum tube assembly for proper placement.
WARNING HYDRAULIC LINES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE, FLUID CAN ESCAPE WITH GREAT VELOCITY! EYE AND SKIN INJURY MAY RESULT. USE EYE & HAND PROTECTION WHEN BLEEDING HYDRAULIC LINES. C. While operating the Probe, make sure that the hydraulic and vacuum hoses do not become pinched and are not pulled tight.

IV. OPERATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS DANGER FAILURE TO OBSERVE ALL SAFETY RULES, WRITTEN AND IMPLIED, AND THOSE SUGGESTED BY COMMON SENSE, CAN RESULT IN DEATH, SERIOUS INJURY, AND /OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE. LOCKOUT POWER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE. 4.1 Operators Control Components And Their Functions FIGURE 4-1, STANDARD NEMA 12 OPERATORS CONTROL PANEL DETAIL Refer to the certified electrical drawing(s) for dimensions on control panels with optional features.
4.1.1 POWER OFF/ON Switch S-1 & Light This illuminated selector switch controls electrical power to the controller, valve solenoid coils, vacuum motor relay coil and the hydraulic motor starter coil. The light is illuminated as long as power is available to the controller and the POWER switch is set to ON.
4.2 Electrical Components 4.2.1 Hydraulic Pump Motor This motor is coupled to the hydraulic pump via flexible shaft coupling and a pump adapter that bolts to the motor. The motor runs at fixed speed of ~1800 RPM. A label is located on the pump mount designating the correct direction of rotation (reference Figure 1-1).
4.3 Hydraulic Components 4.3.1 Solenoid Valves V-1, V-2, V-3, & V-4 These valves are 4-way, 3-position, double-solenoid operated, spring-centered directional control valves. When both solenoids of a valve are de-energized, the valve spool is spring-centered and hydraulic fluid is routed directly into the manifold's return passage.
4.3.1.3 Boom LEFT/RIGHT Valve V-2 This solenoid-operated directional control valve alternately pressurizes opposing ports of the rotational motor to swing the boom left and right. When the valve's "A" solenoid is energized, the valve spool shifts, pressurizing the port that swings the boom to the left. When the "B" solenoid is energized, the valve spool shifts, pressurizing the port that swings the boom to the right.
To adjust the relief valve setting, remove the protective cap- nut and loosen the lock-nut on the valve stem. Use a 1/8" hex key to turn the valve stem clockwise to increase pressure or counter-clockwise reduce pressure. Make valve adjustments in small increments and observe the gauge while doing so.
4.3.6 Rotational Motor FIGURE 4-3, ROTATIONAL MOTOR & DRIVE CHAIN The hydraulic torque motor swings the boom left or right by means of a pair of sprockets & roller chain. The motor is mounted to an adjustment plate located under the chain drive guards. The adjustment plate along with a pair of jack screws allow for tightening the drive chain.
V. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR DANGER FAILURE TO OBSERVE ALL SAFETY RULES, WRITTEN AND IMPLIED, AND THOSE SUGGESTED BY COMMON SENSE, CAN RESULT IN DEATH, SERIOUS INJURY, AND /OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE. LOCKOUT POWER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE. 5.1 General Maintenance A good maintenance program involves thorough general housekeeping, adequate periodic re-lubrication, and replacement of worn or damaged components.
5.3 Lubrication 5.3.1 Boom Pivoting And Sliding Joints, Monthly Lubricate all shafts and bearings with a liberal amount of multi-purpose grease. Bearings and shafts should be re- greased monthly. All boom motions should be smooth and constant. Jerky operation may indicate mechanical damage to the boom, to a cylinder, or the rotation motor.
5.4.2 Breather Cap Cleaning, Every 3 Months Remove the breather cap. Wash it thoroughly and blow it dry. Replace the cap. 5.4.3 Hydraulic Filter Replacement, Every 3 Months Remove & replace the filter canister. A check valve between the filter & the oil reservoir prevents excessive oil spillage during replacement.
5.5 Compartmentized Probe Tip Inspection This inspection is best done with the probe lowered near ground level. A. While keeping the hands clear of the Probe, have someone OPEN and CLOSE the probe tip through several cycles. The inner tube should rotate smoothly and evenly within the outer tube. B.
VI. TROUBLESHOOTING 6.1 General Truck Probe Troubleshooting DANGER CARELESS OR ACCIDENTAL RESTORATION OF POWER CAN RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. MAKE CERTAIN AREA IS CLEAR BEFORE REMOVING LOCKOUTS. SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION Truck Probe does not operate Power switch OFF. Turn power switch ON.
6.2 Directional Solenoid Valve Troubleshooting SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION Valve does not shift but full line No or low hydraulic pressure. Check. voltage signal is present at the Faulty field wiring. Check for full line voltage at the terminal strip inside the control. solenoid.
