Control System

Functional Description
The architecture of the electronic system controlling the electrical machine utilities consists of a main elec-
tronic board (EB1), and a display electronic board (EB2) which is connected to the dashboard (EB3) - the main
user interface.

The main electronic board (EB1) manages all the utilities.


It drives directly the following accessories:
−− Drive system motor with electromagnetic parking brake
−− Vacuum system motor
−− Deck actuator
−− Squeegee actuator
−− Solution flow solenoid valve
−− Detergent pump
−− Buzzer

It drives the brush deck motors by means of the electromagnetic switch.

The display electronic board (EB2) manages all the input signals (push-buttons) and the output signals (LED)
from keyboard (EB3) to which it is connected by 2 flat cables.

There is also a 3-figure display on the display electronic board (EB2), which is mainly used to display the hour
counter, the solution tank level, and for any alarms (see below). There are also 2 microswitches activated by
the levers under the steering wheel.

The display electronic board (EB2) sends all the input and output signals of these components to the main
electronic board (EB1) using 2-wire 2-way serial communications protocol.

The system also has an on-board battery charger which also communicates with the main electronic board
(EB1) using propriety serial protocol, so the operator can see the operating state (charging phase) on the same
user interface of the dashboard (EB3).

Function Electronic Board Alarm Codes


The function electronic board indicates a series of alarms in case of malfunction of one or more systems, and
in case of abnormal conditions detected in the input signals.
The alarms are shown on the display (except “F6”) by 2 signs following each other:
“AL” and “G2”, where G2 is one of the alarm codes (see the descriptions in the following tables).

P100549 P100550
Also, the alarms are repeated (in case of display malfunction) by the diagnostic LEDs (yellow and red) on the
electronic board, as described in the following tables.

The stored value of each parameter shown in the following table could be modified by the Service Operator
from its Default value to another in the range defined from “Min. value” to “Max. value”.
The default value should be ok for most of the applications, however it could be useful to change a parameter
value in order to:
–– Customize the machine behavior to particular customer needing (like Maximum speed in forward
(FVM), max speed in reverse (RVM), maximum and minimum pre-set working speeds (WSMIN and
SWMAX if present), reaction time to the pedal pressure variation (AR and DR), time of the ECOFLEX
temporary function (SPT), etc..
–– Adapt the board tolerance to partcular devices that are a little bit out of their normal tolerances (ex.
voltage of the pedal output when released (DEADL), voltage when the pedal is fully pressed (DEADH).
–– Adapt the board output power limits to protect the motors in particular heavy duty applications (like

Electrical System

Functional Description
The batteries (two 12V or four 6V) are connected in series by bridge cables.
(For Nilfisk scrubbers version only) One of the bridge cables has a safety fuse (F0).
If the voltage at battery connector (C1) = 0V, check the continuity of the cable with the fuse (F0) (for Nilfisk
scrubbers version only). In case of a break in continuity, replace the cable.
The battery charger (CH) is connected to the machine by two connectors (C) (power connection to the batteries)
and C3 (3-way signal connection).

(Only for SPE Charger) The grey cables (terminals (Only for Delta-Q Charger) The terminal 2 of con-
1 and 2 of connector C3) are short-circuited in battery nector C3 is shorted to the battery + (B+) internally
charger (CH) when it is not connected to the electri- to the charger when it is not connected to the electri-
cal mains. If this connection is not made, all machine cal mains. If this connection is not made, all machine
functions are disabled. functions are disabled.

The yellow cable (terminal 3 of connector C3) is the


data cable between board (EB1) and battery charger
(CH). This connection is used to set battery charger
charging curves directly on the machine dashboard
and displays the state of the battery charger when
charging, on the 3 battery dashboard LEDS:
Red LED lit = main charging phase
Yellow LED lit = equalization phase (charge comple-
tion)
Green LED lit = charging phase successfully complet-
ed

If the optional battery charger has not been installed, the relevant bridge must be used on connector C3.

Battery charger
The SC3000 may be equipped with an optional onboard battery charger. Depending on the market area and
when the machine was manufactured, the charger may be an SPE charger or a Delta-Q charger.

Recovery System

Functional Description
The water recovery system removes the dirty water from the floor and pipes it to a recovery tank. When the
machine is running, the dirty water on the floor is collected by the squeegee blades and collected through the
slots in the same, piped through the vacuum hose and into the tank by the airflow created by Vacuum system
motor (M2). The dirty water is piped into the recovery tank, while the airflow continues to the vacuum fan.
A tank with a screen collects the largest debris going through the recovery tank hose.
The automatic float in the vacuum screen stops Vacuum system motor (M2) from collecting any liquids.
When the automatic float closes and shuts down the vacuum system, the vacuum system motor noise will in-
crease and the floor will not be dried.

When the recovery tank is full it can be emptied through the drain hose.

Service Manual – SC3000 Scrub System, Cylindrical 62

Scrub System, Cylindrical

Functional Description
The cylindrical brush system can be started by the operator.
The cylindrical brushes turn in opposite directions towards the centre of the deck.
The rotating brush system cleans the surface of the floor. The deck, where brushes suitable for cleaning the
particular type of floor are installed, is the main part of the brush system.
The brush deck is mounted on a “magic deck” pantograph system with an electrical actuator. The “magic deck”
system also traverses the deck to the side if it collides with an obstacle.
The electrical actuator, with limit microswitches, lifts and lowers the deck. The operating and washing pres-
sure depends on the weight of the deck. The cylindrical brush system does not have extra pressure function.
The brushes rotate when the brush motors are activated by the function electronic board when the pedal is
pressed.
The cylindrical brushes are driven by a belt and pulley transmission system.
The brush system uses the solution to wash the floor.
The 2 side skirts direct the washing water towards the rear squeegee.
There is also a removable box on the deck where the debris cleaned by the brushes collects.
In case of brush motor overload, a safety system stops the brushes after about one minute of continuous over-
load. The overload is shown by the three battery warning leds flashing simultaneously.
The overload is detected monitoring the sum of current flow on the motors. The current is measured by a volt-
age drop verification across the brush system fuse (F1). If the voltage drop become over the value stored in the
“VS2” parameter (default = 70 mV), the 3 battery leds start flashing simultaneously and if the overload persist,
after a variable delay depending on the overload amount, the motors will stop.
To start scrubbing again after a brush stop due to an overload, stop the machine by turning the ignition key to
“0”. Turn on the machine by turning the ignition key to “I”.
In summary, the brush motor running needs the following conditions/inputs:
• Seat microswitch closed
• Brushes function enabled
• Drive pedal pressed
• Battery level not in red light blinking condition.

Scrub System, Disc

Functional Description
The disc brush system can be started by the operator.
The disc brushes turn in opposite directions towards the centre of the header.
The rotating brush system cleans the surface of the floor. The deck, where brushes suitable for cleaning the
particular type of floor are installed, is the main part of the brush system.
The brush deck is mounted on a “magic deck” pantograph system with an electrical actuator and gas spring.
The “magic deck” system lets the brush deck traverse sideways and the steering system turn thanks to a rack.
The “magic deck” system also traverses the deck to the side if it collides with an obstacle.
The electrical actuator, with limit microswitches, lifts and lowers the deck. The operating and washing pres-
sure depends on the weight of the deck. The actuator and gas spring provide extra pressure function. The extra
pressure function can be selected with the specific button on the dashboard.
The brushes rotate when the brush motors are activated by the function electronic board when the pedal is
pressed.
The brush system uses the solution to wash the floor.
In case of brush motor overload, a safety system stops the brushes after about one minute of continuous over-
load. The overload is shown by the three battery warning leds flashing simultaneously.
The overload is detected monitoring the sum of current flow on the motors. The current is measured by a volt-
age drop verification across the brush system fuse (F1). If the voltage drop become over the value stored in the
“VS2” parameter (default = 70 mV), the 3 battery leds start flashing simultaneously and if the overload persist,
after a variable delay depending on the overload amount, the motors will stop.
If the overload takes place when the extra pressure function is on, the system automatically turns the extra
pressure function off. If the overload persists, the brushes stop.
To start scrubbing again after a brush/pad-holder stop due to overload, stop the machine by turning the igni-
tion key to “0”. Turn on the machine by turning the ignition key to “I”.
In summary, the brush motor running needs the following conditions/inputs:
• Seat microswitch closed
• Brushes function enabled
• Drive pedal pressed
• Battery level not in red light blinking condition.

Solution System

Functional Description
The solution system supplies water and detergent to the brushes when cleaning the floor. The solution tank
is also the main machine body. There is a manual valve on the right side of the tank to close the water sup-
ply whenever maintenance must be performed on the machine. The solution flows from the tank to the tap,
through the filter and solenoid valve (EV1) and then to the brush deck.
The detergent pump (M4) installed only on EcoFlex™ systems, controls the detergent flow from the EcoFlex™
tank and pipes the flow into the main hose after the solenoid valve (EV1).
There is a one-way valve between the EcoFlex™ system pump and the connection with the main hose.
The EcoFlex™ system can be selected with the specific lever under the steering wheel.
The operator sets the amount of detergent with the keys on the serigraphed electronic board installed on the
steering wheel.
There is a manual valve under the tank in a central position, which can be used to drain any liquid in the
battery compartment. There is also a manual valve on the left side, which can be used to drain the detergent
when cleaning the tank.
The solution flow is regulated by different ON/OFF cycling timings depending on:
• Water flow setting (0 ÷ 4)
• Solution tank water level.
Both Solenoid valve and Detergent pump (when EDS system is enabled) follow the same above timings.
The Solenoid valve and the detergent pump are running only when needs the following conditions/inputs:
• Seat microswitch closed
• Brushes function enabled
• Drive pedal pressed
• Battery level not in red light blinking condition.

Service Manual – SC3000 Squeegee System 105

Squeegee System

Functional Description
The squeegee system cleans the liquid off the floor, which is then collected by the recovery system.
The squeegee is mounted on castors and the weight of the system presses it down on the floor.
The squeegee is held in place by two quick-fit wing nuts in the squeegee support slots. In case of fixed ob-
stacles, the quick-fit system allows for squeegee immediate removal.
The squeegee support is held on the frame by two tie rods and a centring spring, allowing some lateral move-
ment.
The angle of the squeegee and the correct adherence of the blades on the floor can be adjusted with a knob.
The front blade has an opening in the bottom edge so the squeegee can collect the water on the floor. The design
and the central duct make it easy for the squeegee to clear the water. The bottom edge of the blade is smooth.
All 4 functional edges of each blade can be used before it needs replacing.
The squeegee is lifted and lowered by a cable on a winch in the solution tank. It is activated at the same time
as the brush deck.
The squeegee actuator (M6) has 2 limit microswitches (not accessible). Every time it is raised or lowered, the
actuator is activated by the electronic board for 10 seconds. The squeegee must reach the correct limit switch
by the end of this time.
In any case the electronic board cuts off the power supplied to the actuator after 10 seconds, to prevent damag-
ing the actuator.

Driving Wheel System

Functional Description
The driving wheel system moves the machine forwards.
The operator adjusts the operating speed with the accelerator (RV1). The reverse lever is under the steering
wheel.
The driving wheel is connected to the steering system. The electromagnetic brake is built into the drive system
motor and keeps the machine braked when the machine is off or stopped.
An anti-skid system reduces the speed to a safe speed when turning and when the machine tilts laterally in
order to avoid sudden skidding, thus increasing machine stability in all conditions.
The driver's seat microswitch is located inside the driver's seat and the machine drive system is only enabled
if the operator is seated in the driver's seat.
The function electronic board (EB1) checks the drive pedal is not pressed when the machine is turned on. If it
is pressed an alarm is generated (see paragraph “Function electronic board alarm codes” in chapter “Control
system”) and the drive system is disabled.
When the pedal returns to the rest position, the alarm is automatically deactivated (without having to turn
the machine off and on again).
When the drive pedal is pressed, the function electronic board (EB1) powers the electromagnetic brake to
release the wheel, then activates the driving wheel motor (M3) with a proportional voltage on the basis of the
pedal position. The acceleration ramps and top speed can be set with the relevant parameters (see paragraph
“Display and change of parameters which can be set by the user” in chapter “Control system”).

Reverse is enabled when the microswitch on display electronic board (EB2), activated by lever (2), is pressed.
The signal is sent by the display electronic board (EB2) to function electronic board (EB1) like any other signal
from a dashboard push-button.

The automatic anti-skid system constantly detects lateral acceleration using an accelerometer installed in
function electronic board EB1. If the lateral accelerometer detects a speed higher than the preset value (set
using the AMAX parameter, see paragraph “Display and change of parameters which can be set by the user”
in chapter “Control system”) the system reduces the speed so the lateral acceleration remains below this limit.

The Anti-skid control LED indicates the system is automatically reducing the speed to below that con-
trolled by the accelerator pedal position.
