EMMS
EMMS (Equipment Management and Monitoring System)
The EMMS is a highly sophisticated system, controlling and monitoring all the excavator func-
tions. The user interface is highly intuitive and provides the operator with easy access to a huge
range of functions and operating information.

Four working modes

The PC160LC-7 is equipped with three working modes: (P, E, B), plus a lifting mode (L). Each mode is designed to
match the engine speed, pump speed, and system pressure with the current operating requirement. This provides
the flexibility to match equipment performance to the job at hand.

VHMS
VHMS (Vehicle Health Monitoring System)

The VHMS’s precise health-check system indicates all of the ma-

chine’s running conditions. At the beginning of, and during, each
work shift, abnormality information and machine functions can be
checked from the operator’s seat.

New features: VHMS machine health monitoring

• Up to four different mechanical system measurements can be
monitored at the same time.
• A “Maintenance Indicator” function has been added. (Filter and
oil replacement time display function).
• Mechanical system failures are now monitored, in addition to
electrical system failures.
• Failures are indicated with a 6-digit failure code.

Displays running conditions and abnormality

indications
At the operator’s fingertips: the VHMS controller monitors engine
oil level, cooling water level, fuel level, engine water temperature,
engine oil pressure, battery charging level, air filter clogging, and
more.
The monitor also indicates whenever abnormalities are detected.

Maintenance alert assistance

The VHMS monitor alerts when oil and filters need to be replaced.

Operation data memory

The system memorises machine operating data such as engine
output, hydraulic pressure, and more.

Trouble data memory

The monitor stores and recalls electrical system and mechani-
cal system failures and abnormalities for effective troubleshoot-
ing. The twenty most-recent electrical system failures are stored.
Mechanical system failures cannot be erased, ensuring accurate
documentation of vital service management information.

VHMS ‘real time monitoring system’

The ‘real time monitoring system’ displays up to four different
operating parameters simultaneously, giving the mechanic a total
overview for faster troubleshooting. Parameters include operating
conditions such as hydraulic oil pressure, engine RPMs, various
voltages and currents, and even temperature measurement.
