Funktion

Tool recognition
Quantum Tool Recognition is a system for wireless tool recognition on excavators. The system identifies which tool is connected to the excavator’s attachment or to the tiltrotator’s attachment. Tool Recognition is based on each tool being equipped with a compact and robust battery-powered device (TRM) that communicates wirelessly with a controller in the cabin(Quantum HUB).
The tiltrotator and/or machine quick coupler is connected to the system to detect when a change of tools occurs. In cases where the machine is equipped with a Quantum or MACS RT-based tiltrotator control system, the information is shared when a tool change under the tiltrotator through the CAN bus. When initiating a change, the system starts scanning for moving tools. The system uses several smart conditions to identify the correct tools.

CAN-bus – interface towards external systems
The system hub can transmit the information to other control systems in the excavator via the CAN bus. This way, these systems can adapt to each tool. An example of a function is to automatically indicate the correct tool for the machine’s GPS / 3D excavation system without the operator having to manually enter it, or to automatically change settings in a Tiltrotator control system based on the tool type.

Tracking of tools and machine
The system stores the user’s smartphone GPS position in the cloud and connects it to the tool and machine shown on a map in the app, provided that the user has:

• Downloaded the Quantum app to his/her smartphone
• Approved that the app has access to location information
• Bluetooth connection with HUB and/or TRM devices
• Internet Access

The information about the position of a tool or machine is also shared by other users who have a Bluetooth connection with any Quantum HUB or TRM device. It is enough for someone who has the Quantum app installed on their smartphone to pass a HUB or TRM and get connected via Bluetooth to update the location in the cloud. The information is sent anonymously and is displayed only for those users who registered the current machine or device in their app.
Operating time and service intervals
Quantum Tool Recognition together with the Quantum app also keeps track of the machine and tool’s operating time. The machine’s operating time is measured in time as the hub has been powered, the tool’s operating time is measured in time as the TRM unit has been connected to the HUB and at the same time is in motion.
In the app, you can define multiple service intervals for both the machine and the tool, the app will then notify you via notifications to it when it’s time for service.

Start using Quantum ToolRec

1. Quantum starts when the electronics of the machine are activated by the ignition.

Start the Quantum hub

Power up the machine
The Quantum hub will start and the diodes will start to flash. The LEDs are called (from the left): LED 1, LED 2, LED 3, and LED 4.
LED 1 (Heartbeat), LED 2(TOOLREC-searching),
LED 3 (quick coupler), LED 4 (TOOLREC-status)

2. Check that LED 1 is flashing green. As long as the hub is running, the led will flash.

3. LED 2 flashes blue when searching for a tool. If LED 2 flashes green, it searches for a tilt rotator. If LED 2 flashes blue and green respectively, it searches for both tilt rotator and tools.

4. Check the lower coupler function by activating it. LED 3 lights up with a green steady light.

5. Check the upper coupler function by activating it. LED 3 lights up with a red steady light. If both couplers are open, LED 4 lights up with a yellow light.
6. When a tiltrotator has been identified, LED 4 lights up with a green steady light. When a tool has been identified, LED 4 lights up with a blue steady light

7. LED 4 lights up with a steady white light when both the tilt rotator and a tool have been identified.

2. Use a screwdriver to separate the cover from the lower part.

3. Remove the seal between the cover and the lower part.

4. Replace the battery in the unit.
   Make sure to only use original batteries from SVAB. The unit will not work with ordinary 1.5 V batteries.

5. Install a new seal [1] between the cover and the lower part. Make sure that the seal fits the groove properly.

6. Put the cover back.
   Make sure to turn the cover in the correct position so the notch [2] fits the battery.

7. Reinstall the 2 screws. Tightening torque 0.8 Nm.

The TRM module should be mounted on the tool at room temperature for results. The temperature may not go under – 10 gra C.

The module is delivered with the battery, sealing, and screws on the side.
