System for Flow Rate Adjustment as Function of Speed

Solution flow levels 1, 2 and 3 regulate the flow of solution on the basis of the machine speed so as to keep the
quantity of solution dispensed per square metre of floor treated constant.

The reference flow level is level 3: based on the setting of the corresponding parameter P3, the opening time
of the solenoid valve (and of the detergent pump when fitted) is regulated so that the quantity of solution in
centiliters per metre travelled by the machine is constant and equal to the value set in the parameter.

For example, for P3 = 3.0, the machine will dispense 3 centiliters of solution per metre travelled, which equates
(for the standard deck width of 530mm) to 5.7 centiliters per square metre of floor treated.

Levels 1 and 2 are defined via the corresponding parameters P1 and P2 as a % of level 3.
For example, for P1 = 25 and P2 = 50, P1 and P2 are respectively ¼ (25 %) and ½ (50 %) of the reference flow

The default values (the same as in the example above) are summarized in the table, with the corresponding

Battery Charging

Note: Charge the batteries when there is only one flashing segment displayed in the battery
symbol, or at the end of each shift. Keeping the batteries charged make their life last
longer.

Caution! When the batteries are discharged, charge them as soon as possible, as that
condition makes their life shorter. Check for battery charge at least once a week.

Caution! If the machine is not equipped with on-board battery charger, choose an external
battery charger suitable for the type of batteries installed.
Service Manual – SC2000 Electrical System 47

Battery Charging (Continues)

Warning! When using lead (WET) batteries, battery charging produces highly explosive
hydrogen gas. Charge the batteries in well-ventilated areas and away from naked
flames. Do not smoke while charging the batteries. Keep the recovery tank lifted until
the battery charging cycle is over.

Warning! Pay close attention when charging WET CELL batteries, as there may be battery fluid
leakages. The battery fluid is corrosive. If it comes in contact with skin or eyes, rinse
thoroughly with water and consult a physician.

1. (For WET CELL batteries only) Check the level of electrolyte inside the batteries. If necessary, unscrew
the caps and top up.

2. When the correct level is restored, close the caps and clean the tops of the batteries.

Brush Deck Actuator System

The brush deck actuator of SC2000 is a new generation actuator developed by SIR and ITALSEA and it is
controlled directly by the main board without electromechanical limit switches. ITALSEA patented the system
to control the actuator. Basically the system uses deeply measurements of the current flow in the actuator to
know its position in real time.
The actuator is mechanically proof of the end of stroke because of it reaches the end of stroke with limited volt-
age applied and so with a limited speed and force.

The actuator moves and stops in 3 defined positions:

1) RETRACTED: fully retracted end of stroke (deck lifted)
2) WORK: intermediate position (deck on the floor, normal work condition)
3) EXTRAPRESSURE: fully extended end of stroke (deck on the floor with extra pressure given pressing
the actuator integrated spring)

The actuator is powered at 50 % PWM (about 12Vdc) near the end of strokes or during the machine switch-on
reset feature, otherwise at 100 % PWM (24Vdc)
The machine switch-on reset feature moves the actuator from the position where it was the last time the ma-
chine was switched off to the retracted position.
The quotes of the actuator strokes, with a tolerance of ±2mm are: Stroke RETRACTED-WORK = 3.3 in (85
mm), stroke RETRACTED-EXTRAPRESSURE (end to end) = 4.7 in (120 mm).
There are time out limits and amperometric limits related to the different phases of the movement as follow:

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 rear blade edge is smooth.
All 4 functional edges of each blade can be used before it needs replacing.
The squeegee is lifted and lowered by an actuator (M6) located in the solution tank compartment. It is acti-
vated 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 15 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 15 seconds, to prevent damag-
ing the actuator.
