When the rocker switch on the left control panel is in the Drill position, the upper left icon turns green and you can check the joystick voltages as well as verify the 2–Speed and Exit Side Lockout.

When the rocker switch is in the Setup position, the upper right icon is green. The setup position allows you to move the machine and prepare for drilling.

Figure 54

• The rotary voltage ranges from 0.0 to 8.5 V and be present for either make (upper icon) or break (lower icon) as the selected rotary joystick is moved.

• The carriage indicates a range from 0.0 to 10.0 volts in the joystick selected direction for thrust or pullback.

• The lower left icon indicates the carriage position of wrench, load, or carriage back as the carriage moves to the most rearward positions.

• The lower center icon indicates if the 2-speed selection of the carriage speed has been selected.

• The lower right icon indicates the status of the Exit Side Lockout (ESL). If the indicator is black, the carriage and rotary actions are inhibited.

To access this screen push button 2 on the I/O screen.

This screen displays engine information.

Engine speed (rpm): displays, in steps of 100, the engine speed (rpm).

Engine oil pressure: displays the engine oil pressure (bar or psi).

Battery voltage: displays the battery voltage.

If the engine is off, the voltage is measured by the Toro controller.

Engine temperature: displays the engine coolant temperature. The temperature drops to 40°F when the engine is off.

Air filter: the air filter icon is green unless the filter is plugged then the indicator is red.

Hydraulic fluid filter: the hydraulic fluid filter icon is green unless the filter is plugged then the indicator is red.

Engine droop: use the up and down arrows to select the maximum allowable engine droop in the range of 50, 75, and 80 percent. The droop value is the lowest point below low-load speed (rpm) (under 75 percent load) that the engine may decrease before the drive to the rotary head is decreased to maintain the lowest value.

To access this screen push button 3 on the I/O screen.

Use this screen to adjust the cam calibration options.

Push the up and down buttons to select the load position and the pipe-row position.

Figure 56

The voltage on the bottom indicates the cam raw sensor voltage. The voltages range from 1.0 to 4.0 V. Any voltage higher or lower indicates either sensor failure or incorrect calibration.

The other voltages are calibrated voltages.

Push button 3 to toggle the calibration on and off.

Push the OK button 3 times on the desired row to save the calibration.

To access this screen push button 5 on the I/O screen.

Mud pump status:

• Black icon: mud pump is off

• Yellow icon: mud pump is in standby

• Green icon: mud pump is in on
