4. Functional description
4.1 Description
The P600OE is a compact lightweight electrically driven hydraulic pump. It is designed for
supplying hydraulic power to a double-acting LUKAS rescue unit.
Their use for supplying pressure / fl uid to rescue equipment of other manufacturers is possible,
yet requires the technical inspection and approval by LUKAS in each individual case.
CAUTION!
When selecting the units to connect to the unit, bear in mind that the maximum
possible useable volume of hydraulic fl uid is limited.
The max. required operating volume (hydraulic fl uid) of the connected unit must
not exceed the maximum possible useable volume of the hydraulic pump!
The volume of the tank on the P600OE is designed so that all LUKAS cutters, spreaders,
combi tools and the R410 and R412 rescue cylinders that are fi tted with Streamline can
be operated. The energy source for the P600OE can be either a mains power unit or an
accumulator battery. The mains power units and accumulator batteries that fi r into this
hydraulic unit can also be used for the LUKAS eDRAULIC units. When working with the
P600OE you can choose which energy source to use. Both the accumulator battery and the
mains power unit can be inserted in the opening provided in the body of the tool. Both will
lock in place automatically.
NOTE:
When connecting to the mains, if a very long connecting cable is used, the power
supply to the motor may be reduced as a result of the resistance in the cable.
This will reduce the power of the motor.
The hydraulic unit operates in two modes, the WORKING mode and the ECO mode.
It switches to mode required automatically.
In the WORKING mode, the P600OE provides the rescue unit with maximum volume
fl ow of the hydraulic fl uid at maximum pressure. In the ECO mode, we employ a special
speed drop facility. This mode facilitates a very long pump running time with the battery
charge. The speed drop facility reduces the volume fl ow of hydraulic fl uid to a minimum.
The P600OE automatically switches to the ECO mode after 2-3 seconds if the control valve
on the connected rescue unit is not being operated, in other words, when it is in neutral setting.
As soon as the control valve on the rescue unit is actuated, the pump switches automatically
to the WORKING mode. You now have the maximum power of the P600OE available.
The response time of the switchover from ECo to WORKING mode is less than 0.5 s and is
therefore hardly noticeable. The noise of the motor tells you which mode the hydraulic unit
is using.
At reduced temperatures (from approx. 5 °C) it switches to the ECO mode. The P600OE then
runs permanently in working mode. As soon as the oil has heated up, the normal function is
available again.
