Operators Manual - Pentruder Modular Drilling system

Remote control - Extension of cable
The cable for the remote control unit can be extended by using 10 m extension cables. A
maximum of 2 extension cables may be used.
Starting the operation of the drill unit
To start the operation of the drill unit, press the Start/Stop button for operation of the drill unit
and keep it pressed, then press the Start/Stop power pack button.
Positioning the power pack
The power pack should be positioned away from where the drilling takes place and should be
kept dry at all times. It should preferably be placed on a flat surface. If this is not possible the
power pack should be positioned so that the black filler cap is on the highest level possible to
avoid oil leakage when the hydraulic oil warms up and expands during running of the
machine.
Avoid leaving the power pack outside in the rain. The unit is fully sealed and correctly
ventilated but to prevent possible damage to electronic components we recommend that it is
kept dry to prevent condensation forming.
Connecting to mains
The power pack should be connected to a 230 or 400 V 50 Hz power supply (depending on
version) with at least 16 (25) Amp fuses. For the US market version the voltage is 480V 60Hz.
The power pack is equipped with a 63 Amp socket. An adaptor must be fitted when other
cables or supplies are to be used.
W
arning!
The power pack may not be electrically connected when the hydraulic hoses are
connected.
Warning!
Never connect the hydraulic hoses to either power pack or hydraulic motor when
the power pack is running. The power pack must be switched off and disconnected from the
mains by removing the 63 Amp plug before any of the hydraulic hoses are connected.
Warning!
Be sure to lock the ¾” hydraulic couplings by turning the sleeves on the female
couplings after they are connected.
Y/D-start (Pentpak 15 or Pentpak 20)
To be able to use the power pack where the power supply is limited, an Y/D-start is used to
protect the fuses in the start-up moment. Despite the powerful electric motor the Pentpak 15
can be started when connected to 20 automatic fuses or at the least 16 Amp restistance
fuses. For the highest performance, the power pack should be connected to 25 - 32 Amp
fuses.
Soft start on Pentpak 25 (or Pentpak 20)
The Pentpak 25 has an electronic soft start to facilitate start of the powerful 25 kW motor even
on 25 Amp fuses.
