62620-000, Issue1.0, March 2014 1 Use of this Document This user guide is intended for persons familiar with the use of construction plant undertaking lifting operations in a rail environment. WARNING denotes information about particular risks which may be generated by certain applications, by using certain fittings, and about additional protective measures which are necessary for such applications.

562620-000, Issue1.0, March 2014 4 System Identification The PMERail system provides two primary safety functions 1. Lifting Stability 2. Machine Envelope Monitoring Both safety functions are achieved through real time monitoring some or all of the machine’s moving parts ( booms, other articulations, turret etc ) and its environment ( ground pitch and inclination, load etc) and actively determining the safety of the current operation where appropriate limits have been set.
562620-000, Issue1.0, March 2014 6 Maintenance The maintenance instructions for the RCC - MEC fitted your RRV are to be carried out in conjunction with the vehicle manufactures instruction handbook and Prolec PMERail Operators Manual - Prolec Part Number 562600-000. See section 11 for test / diagnosis features, section 9 for error message, section 11.1 for relay testing and section 11.3 for lamp, alarms and LED testing.

562620-000, Issue1.0, March 2014 7 OLE equipped system - PMERail Ultra Any system with Height limiting enabled will allow a height limit to be set which will stop the boom, artic (if fitted) and arm at the limit whichever is the highest. See section 16 for monitored points on the machine. PMERail is NOT aware of any attachment fitted, therefore where an attachment is in use, limits should be determined and set in accordance with the safe system of work.
562620-000, Issue1.0, March 2014 8 ALO equipped system - PMERail - Max and Ultra Systems with slew limiting enabled will allow a limit to be set on one side of the machine perpendicular to the track. The Artic pivot pin (if fitted), arm pivot pin and tool point are monitors along with the corner of the cab, battery box and counterweight. See section 16 for monitored points on the machine.
562620-000, Issue1.0, March 2014 9 Repair Once a repair has been carried out and tested, the following must be checked: Required Checks Section Maintenance Plan - Exam Code C 6 10 Safety Controller / I/O Module Fuse replacement If a fuse supplying power to a motion cut has blown, circled blue in the image opposite, it can be replaced. Using the Relay test screen, see section 11.1, identify the module controlling the service in question.
562620-000, Issue1.0, March 2014 11 Test / Diagnostics The system test function is available from the top menu screen. This feature allows the system functions to be verified and basic trouble-shooting to be performed. In this mode, the amber LED will flash to indicate the system is in maintenance mode. The system will continue to monitor any active limits to monitor machine safety status if in lift mode. Alarm conditions and warnings / controls will be issued as normal.
562620-000, Issue1.0, March 2014 11.2 Sensor Information Displays the systems sensor information in bar or degrees. Use the Actual column for direct comparison. The status column shows the health of each sensor. Base Pitch = Pitch Angle Base Roll = Pitch Angle Boom Base Piston = Piston Pressure Boom Base Rod = Rod Pressure Boom AS7/10 = Boom angle Artic AS7/10 = Artic angle Exit to previous menu 11.3 Blue and Amber lamp, Alarm and display LED Function Press to activate the function in turn.

LOLER information Software Version Machine information License information Distributor information Exit to previous menu 13 LED and Internal Alarm Warnings The table below shows the state of the three LEDs on the display and the internal alarm with respect to system status.
562620-000, Issue1.0, March 2014 14 System Messages 14.1 On Screen Safety Messages Close to max height Highest point of equipment within *0.5m of set limit Maximum height reached Equipment has reached set limit ALO Controlling Slew PMERail is controlling slew movement toward the slew limit Close to Slew limit Equipment within *10 degrees or 0.
562620-000, Issue1.0, March 2014 14.2 On Screen Component Error Messages PMERail continuously monitors the presence and condition of it’s system components. If any sensor, input, output, or other component fails, an error message will appear along the bottom of the display. In the event of a failure, ALL motion control relays will be operated, the cab mounted blue lamp will indicate that the RCC is NOT active, the display red LED will flash and the internal and external alarms will sound.

562620-000, Issue1.0, March 2014 15 Data Logger PMERail has two data-logging functions. The data logging icon appears in the bottom left of the screen. The data can only be viewed by extracting it from the system, contact your service agreement holder or Prolec Ltd for further assistance. Where a data logging system is found not to be operational then the vehicle shall not be used until the fault is repaired and fully confirmed as operational.
562620-000, Issue1.0, March 2014 16 Equipment Position measurement PMERail measures equipment pin positions using equipment mounted angle sensors. All positions are corrected for chassis pitch (rail gradient), roll (rail cant) and slew angle. The radius displayed on the operators screen represents the current lifting point and the height represents the tool pin height. Shown without hitch.
562620-000, Issue1.0, March 2014 17 Taking Product out of Operation Prolec Limited is committed to complying with the upcoming European Directive of RoHS (Restriction of Certain Hazardous Substances) and WEEE (Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment). PME is subject to the WEEE directive, therefore PME or any component must be returned to Prolec Ltd for correct disposal or recycling.
