"INSTANT NEUTRAL/LINE TEST" Switch
The "INSTANT NEUTRAL/LINE TEST" switch (12) is a three-position toggle switch. The INSTANT NEUTRAL position will momentarily establish contact. The other two switch positions maintain contact.
Placing the "INSTANT NEUTRAL/LINE TEST" switch into the INSTANT NEUTRAL position shifts the deck transmission into neutral. This shift into neutral brings the deck engine to idle speed and illuminates the "NEUTRAL TRIP" lamp. The "NEUTRAL TRIP" lamp will remain illuminated until the "NEUTRAL TRIP" condition is reset.
In order to reset a "NEUTRAL TRIP" condition, the "RESET START" switch must be activated. In order to activate the "RESET START" switch, turn the "DECK RPM CONTROL" switch counterclockwise to the RESET START position. Placing the "DECK RPM CONTROL" switch counterclockwise to the RESET START position extinguishes the "NEUTRAL TRIP" lamp and allows the transmission to return to the selected gear.
to reset an overpressure condition, Press the "RESET" switch on the pressure module and move the "DECK RPM CONTROL" switch to the RESET START position. Move the "INSTANT NEUTRAL/LINE TEST" switch to the LINE TEST position in order to activate the downshift enable solenoid. Activating the downshift enable solenoid takes the transmission out of the lockup mode. The transmission is in converter mode when the transmission is not in lockup mode.
The LINE TEST position is used in order to test for leaks in the treating line. In order to accomplish the line test, the operator must place the switch in the LINE TEST position. The operator must now select the desired gear. The operator must slowly increase the speed of the deck engine. When the transmission remains in the converter mode, a smoother line test and a safer line test may be accomplished.
The "EMERGENCY KILL" switch (13) is a two-position toggle switch. Operation of the switch will immediately shut off the fuel and the air supply to the deck engine resulting in a shutdown of the system . To activate the switch, the red switch guard must be lifted. The switch must then be moved to the opposite keyway. A switch guard is necessary in order to prevent an accidental shutdown. This switch is wired in order to allow the emergency shutdown even if the "MASTER POWER" switch is in the OFF position. To reset the switch after an emergency shutdown, manually open the flapper valves of the air intake shutoff and cycle the "MAIN POWER DISCONNECT" and the URCC main power switch for at least 15 seconds.
The "MASTER POWER" switch (14) is a two-position toggle switch. This switch serves as the power switch for the universal remote control console. Activation of the "MASTER POWER" switch will energize certain auxiliary equipment and will drain the batteries of the trailer while the system is not in operation. Activation of the "MASTER POWER" switch does not affect operation of the "EMERGENCY KILL" switch or the floodlight switches.
The "TRUCK START/RUN/KILL" switch (15) is a three-position toggle switch. The START position will momentarily establish contact. The other two switch positions maintain contact. This switch serves as the remote control switch for the truck engine. When the switch is placed in the START position and the switch is held in the START position, the Engine will start. If the switch is placed in the downward "KILL" position, fuel to the truck engine will be shut off, and the engine will shut down. The "START/RUN/KILL" switch is only active when the "REMOTE/CAB CONTROL" switch which is located in the truck cab is in the REMOTE position. The ignition key switch which is located in the cab must also be in the ON position.
The "TRUCK RPM INC/DEC" switch (16) is a three-position toggle switch. This switch controls the engine rpm. The "TRUCK RPM INC/DEC" switch will increase the speed of the Engine. The "TRUCK RPM INC/DEC" switch also decreases the speed of the Engine. The engine speed will increase or the engine speed will decrease according to the preset speed ramp time. The "TRUCK RPM INC/DEC" switch is only active when the "REMOTE/CAB CONTROL" switch which is located in the truck cab is in the REMOTE position. The ignition key switch which is located in the cab must also be in the ON position.
The "DECK START/RUN/KILL" switch (17) is a three-position toggle switch. The START position will momentarily establish contact . The other two switch positions maintain contact. The "DECK START/RUN/KILL" switch functions as the remote control switch for the deck engine. When the switch is placed and held in the START position, the speed of the truck engine will ramp up to the preset RPM. In order to start the deck engine, hold the "DECK START/RUN/KILL" switch in the START position. If the "DECK START/RUN/KILL" switch is placed in the "KILL" position, the deck engine will be shut off and the fuel to and the deck engine will shut down.
The START position of this switch is inactive when the following conditions exist:
- The "PUMP BRAKE" switch is activated.
- The transmission is not in the NEUTRAL position.
The "DECK RPM CONTROL" switch (18) is a rotary control that is used to control the speed of the deck engine. Turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase the speed of the engine. The throttle control assembly includes a reset start switch. The "RESET/START" switch activates at idle speed and functions as a reset for the throttle control in when an overpressure or neutral tripped condition. This switch prevents the engine from returning to full throttle speed once the overpressure or neutral tripped condition has been corrected.
The "GEAR SELECTOR" switch (19) is an eight-position rotary switch that is used in order to select the gear for the deck transmission . The handle of the switch must be depressed in order to select a gear. The downshift enable solenoid is activated when the handle is depressed. Activating the downshift enable solenoid takes the transmission out of the lockup mode. The transmission is in converter mode when the transmission is not in lockup mode. When the transmission is in converter mode, the transmission shifts more smoothly.
