PROGRAMMING THE TRUCK
The following procedures should be followed to pro-
gram a new truck or reprogram an operational truck
when necessary. Reprogramming is required if the
FB101 or FB144 CPU card is replaced, equipment is
added or removed, or if changes are made to the Truck
Configuration File.
It is assumed the correct Truck Configuration File is
available for programming the truck. If not available, or
if changes are required, refer to previous information in
“STATEX CONFIGURATION FILES” and make the
required changes before proceeding.
Perform the following steps to program the truck:
Connect PTU to the Truck
1. Connect the PTU to the control system on the
truck:
a. Connect the PTU cable male plug to the “A”
receptacle located at the Two-Digit Display
panel in the control cabinet or in the cab. Plug
the female connector end of the cable into the
serial port receptacle at the back of the PTU.
NOTE: Connector A is used for communication with the
truck CPU. Connector B uses a cable with a female
connector on both ends and is used for communicating
with a mine dispatch computer.
b. Provide 110 vac to the work area on the truck.
Connect the portable battery charger for the
PTU to 110 vac and the PTU. This will main-
tain the charge on the PTU battery.
2. Turn on the PTU. After warm-up and self-test, the
DOS “C:>” prompt will appear.
3. Type “
gemenu3e
” (or “
gemenu
” if using version
14.00) and press [ENTER]. The main menu titled
GE OHV STATEX III MENU will appear.
NOTE: There may be other available GE OHV menus
on the portable computer. If installed, a previous
software version can be accessed by typing oldge3e
(or “
oldge
” if version 14 is installed at the DOS
prompt.
Select Configuration File
1. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to select
“SELECT TRUCK SETUP”.
2. Select the proper Truck Configuration file by mov-
ing the cursor to the correct file and pressing
[ENTER].
3. The GE OHV STATEX III MENU will reappear.
Activate The PTU Mode
1. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the
“PTU TALK TO TRUCK” selection on the main
menu and press [ENTER].
2. Logon by responding to the prompts shown in
Figure 2-18, typing in your name (initials will suf-
fice) and password.
3. A menu titled GE STATEX III PTU MAIN MENU
(Figure 2-19) will appear after the PTU goes
through necessary loading (about 10 seconds).
NOTE: Various screens may display caution
statements about contactors moving. This is to protect
maintenance personnel who may be working in the
control cabinet while the PTU is being used to perform
test and set-up functions.
NOTE: If a PTU lock-up occurs at any time during
communications with the truck, it may necessary to
start over. Perform the following:
1. If the PTU screen has a message at the bottom of
the screen, press the [SPACE] bar and wait for
the message to clear.
2. If the PTU still does not communicate, turn the
Control Power switch Off. (Sometimes it may be
necessary to turn the battery disconnect switch
off to insure a complete cycle of power.)
3. If this doesn't work, press the [CTRL], [ALT] and
[DEL] keys simultaneously. This reboots the PTU
and takes the PTU to the DOS “C:>” prompt.
Then, type “
gemenu3e
” (or “
gemenu
”) to reopen
the main menu.
