![]() Eventually, the battery will not hold enough of a charge to function properly. These deposits effectively insulate the battery plates, making it harder and harder for the battery to create electrical current. To understand how pulse conditioning works, you need to know that batteries ‘wear out’ because the electrolyte inside them slowly crystallizes over time, building up lead sulfite deposits on the battery plates. The flexible, replaceable cables fit in the case for easy storage and are easy to disconnect and safely move to the next battery since no current flows through the cable until connected to the battery. There is no danger of overheating or overcharging, no matter how long the batteries stay connected to the unit, so you don’t need to constantly monitor them. The SC-6 gives you one-switch control over the recovery/charging process, with 5 LED indicators per each channel, showing the battery’s condition at a glance (battery disconnected, bad battery, recovery charge, pulse charge, charge complete). PulseTech’s patented pulse technology removes sulfate crystal buildup from the battery plates, restoring them to peak condition, and extending the life of your batteries up to 5 times.Įase of use is one of PulseTech’s hallmarks. The SC-6 features a compact, portable ‘suitcase’ configuration, allowing you to carry it easily to wherever your batteries are stored.Įach independent charging channel profiles the condition of the connected battery, and automatically runs through the individual recovery and charge cycle needed. Each charging station operates independently of the others, allowing you to charge any combination of lead acid battery types (VRLA, AGM, flooded and gel cell) at the same time. The SC-6 HD Recovery Charger allows you to ‘revive’ and charge up to six 12V lead acid batteries simultaneously. ![]() This enables maintenance, training and production staff to easily access, process and analyse the data on a shift basis, to identify where production shortfalls arise and where further operator training is required.Recover and Condition up to Six Batteries at a Time Data is saved in a SQL database and is accessible through an advanced server analysis programme located on the mine’s intranet. The system developed for Teck is configured to communicate through the mine wireless mesh to a server located in the mine’s administration offices. Productivity indicators provide meaningful online feedback to the operator including average bucket/truck payload, overall shift production, swing cycle time and operating and delay times. These transducers allow the system to track boom jacking and adverse swing events, identify alarm events and quantify the mechanical damage per swing cycle. Recent developments of the system have included a comprehensive machine health monitoring capability using strain sensing transducers placed on the A-frame and boom structures. Our system has now become the system of choice at Teck’s Greenhills operation and by delivering added value benefits to the customer we hope it will become the reference for other Teck operations.”Ĭonfigured to communicate with any third party truck dispatch system, the Pulse TerraMetrix RS system can be applied to different models of electric rope shovels including P&H 4100 and CAT 7495 machines. As a result, more accurate payload measurement is maintained, even under severe dynamic loading conditions. ![]() This includes one P&H 4100XPB and two P&H 4100XPC machines, one of which is currently being assembled.įollowing the final implementation of the Pulse TerraMetrix RS system on the P&H 4100 XPB in 2012, BMT TBM says that “Teck staff recognised the benefits of this innovative payload monitoring system together with its interactive server database, allowing personnel to easily analyse health, production and payload data.” Charles Constancon, Director of BMT WBM Canada explained: “Unlike other payload monitoring systems which apply electrical parameter estimation techniques to approximate the payload, the Pulse TerraMetrix RS system employs a loadcell based device and directly measures the inertial and dynamic loads applied to the dipper. BMT WBM, a subsidiary of BMT Group, is set to deliver two new Pulse TerraMetrix RS systems to Teck Resources. Machine health, production and payload measurement will be managed by the PULSE TerraMetrix System on the entire shovel fleet at Teck’s Greenhills coal operation near Elkford in southeast British Columbia, Canada.
