Windshield wiper
To use the wiper, depress the switch S14 on the switching unit. Depressing the button S14 activates the relay
K1 on A1001 and the relay B03 on A1008_1 and finally the motor M4.
Depressing the button S14 will successively :
• Turn on the windshield wiper in intermittent mode (the light diode I is on).
• Turn on the windshield wiper in continuous mode (the light diode C is on).
• Turn off the windshield wiper (the both light diodes are off).
In addition, the pause time for the intermittent mode can be adjusted by using the button S14 :
• Select the intermittent mode and keep the button S14 depressed; after a few seconds, the light diode I
will blink rapidly.
• Release the button S14 when the blinking duration has reached the desired pause time. Adjustment is
possible between 2 and 9 seconds.
Winshield water
To wash the windshield depress the button S11 on the switching unit. The button S11 switches the relay B01
of the plate A1008_1. The windshield water motor M3 is then supplied.
The washing liquid is charged via the service trap.

Pressure switch / prelub B87 and generator G5 Solenoid ether valve Y128
Function
Kl30 : pole direct from battery plus
Kl15 : pole + when the key is in contact position
Kl50 : pole + when the key is in start position
Kl61 : charging current
Kl31 : ground
• Start
When turning the key in contact position, it is necessary that the emergency stops are not switched in order to
have the current Kl15.
The current Kl15 issued from the fuse F137 supplies the «key switch input» of the QUANTUM U18 (the switch
QUANTUM S9.1 must be closed). The engine is ready to start.
To start the engine, turn the key in position 3.
If the hydraulic valve is opened (contacts in B73 and B74 are closed), the current Kl50 supplied the first relay
start prelub U27 via the time lag relay TS2 (0 - 10 sec.) in A1008_2. The prelub procedure begins. The prelub
system establishes the correct lub oil pressure in the engine.
The relay U27 is actuated and allows to the prelub motor M14 to be supplied. When the pressure in the engine
has reached the prescribed value, the pressure switch B87 is switched and send a signal to the relay U27. The
prelub motor M14 is no more supplied. After 3 seconds, the prelub relay U27 actuates the relays K16_1 and
K16_2, so the starter motors M1 and M2 are supplied and are both running.
As soon as the engine is running, it drives the alternator G5. The charging current Kl61 actuates the relay BO2
on the printplate A1008_2 and so the relay TS2. The current Kl50 can no longer supply the relay U27. No ad-
ditional lubrication and starting procedures can be triggered.
• Cold start
A cold start system is standard equipment; which makes it easier to start the engine at low temperatures. If the
engine does not start, or at the beginning of the starting procedure, use this procedure to spray starter fluid
(ether) into the intake manifold.
To use the cold start, press the switch S36. It actuates the relay ST2 on the printplate A1008_2. The current
«Kl50 / start» coming from U27, which also supplies the starter motors M1 and M2, actuates the relay BO3
which engages the ether solenoid valve Y128 for engine cold starting.
As soon as the engine is running, it drives the alternator G5. It actuates the relay BO2 and so the relay TS2 on
the printplate A1008_2. The current Kl50 can no longer supply the relay U27. No additional lubrication and star-
ting procedures can be triggered and the cold starting stops.
• Stop
To stop the engine of the hydraulic excavator, reduce the engines RPM to low idle via the arrow key S70, and
continue to run the engine for 3-5 minutes to lower the temperature. Then turn the ignition key to turn the engine
off. The current Kl15 issued from the fuse F137 no longer supplies the «key switch input» of the QUANTUM
U18. The engine shuts down.
RPM control
Schematic
Component location
Function
The LED indicator displays the engine RPM. It divides the completes RPM range into 10 stages. The engine
RPM can be set either using the arrow keys S228 and S229, or the mode key S86. For the use, see the Ope-
ration and Maintenance Manual.
• Mode automatic
The signal goes from the keyboard S2 to the interface plate A1016. The signal is then sent to the regulation
plate A1019.
This signal is a current of 24V, which frequency varies between 160 and 370 Hz (1 Hz corresponds to 5 RPM).
The signal is then sent to the QUANTUM U18 threw the wire «Vehicle speed VSS+» and the QUANTUM U18
adjusts the RPM.
• Mode manual
If the engine can not be started, monitored or operated safety, due to a functional problem in the electronic
control of the excavator, the engine operation can be continued by using the manual mode.
The RPM control becomes manual by pushing the button S23. The relay K6 of the plate A1019 is actuated and
the wire «Remote throttle select» coming from the QUANTUM U18 is connected to the ground X300.
To adjust the RPM value, the QUANTUM will now take the signal coming from the throttle R6 threw the wire
«Remote throttle signal».
The throttle R6 transforms the signal (+5V) coming from the QUANTUM U18 (wire «Remote throttle supply»)
into a signal, which varies between 0,8V and 2,5V depending on the position of the throttle R6.
13.1.4.2The sensors
The engine
The engine CUMMINS QSK 45 mounted on the excavator R9250 is equipped with the Electronic Control Mo-
dule QUANTUM. This system analyses the data provided by the sensors mounted on the engine. All the trou-
bles appearing on the engine are centrally indicated on the control board (see Operation and Maintenance
Manual). This system also controls the engine speed and the fuel pressure in order to optimise the exhaust
emissions.
The option CENSE can be installed. It provides more information thanks to several sensors. This option allows
a better control of the engine.
As the engine cooling system is specific to LIEBHERR France, the sensors concerning the coolant level and
the coolant temperature are mounted by LIEBHERR France.
Sensors on the splitterbox and on the pumps and connection box E1036
13.1.4.3Emergency stop
The excavator is equipped with five emergency off switches in order to make the engine shut down quickly.
This section describes the function and the location of these switches.
Schematic
Component location
Function
The emergency stops are used to stop the engine instantaneously during operation or to prevent the engine to
be started. The five emergency stops are mounted in line.
In normal conditions, the emergency stops are not locked. The key of the starting switch S1 turning on the po-
sition 1 allows the current to supply the engine via S100_1, S100_2, S100_3, S100_4 and S100_5.
If one of the emergency stops is pushed, the engine is no longer supplied and shut down. In the same time,
the relay timer KT10 is actuated and supplies the shut off valve Y13. The opening of this valve depressurise
the hydraulic tank in order to prevent any injuries due to leaks from a hose and mechanical damages. This valve
is automatically closed again after 10 minutes.
In addition a fire alarm can be installed. The relay K139 is then mounted in line with the emergency stops. When
a fire is detected, the relay K139 is actuated and prevents the engine to be supplied during one hour. In the
same time, the relay KT10 is actuated and supplies the shut off valve Y13. After the fire system has been ac-
tuated, the operator must wait 1 hour before attempting to restart.
For a pontoon excavator, an additional emergency stop has to be mounted. Its function is the same as the other
emergency stops.

13.1.5.3Function
Batteries
The excavator R9250 is equipped with 6 batteries : 4 principal batteries and 2 service batteries.
The four principal batteries G1, G2, G3 and G4 supply :
– The starter motors M1 and M2.
– The principal circuit Kl30 in E1003.
The two service batteries G6 and G7 supply :
– The motor M10 for ladder and service trap depending on fuse F139.
– Service lighting depending on fuse F138 : access ladder, engine, control valve (see § lighting).
– Control board depending on fuse F138.
When the batteries are discharged, it is possible to supply the electrical circuits of the excavator with external
sources (24V) thanks to the connectors X60-1 and X60-2.
Alternator
The engine thanks to a belt drives the alternator G5.
As soon as the alternator runs, it sends a current via its pole B+. This current charges the principal batteries
(G1, G2, G3 and G4) and supplies the principal circuit via the fuses F21_1 and F21_2 and via the connector
X354.
In the same time, the alternator sends a current via its pole D+. The relay B02 in the plate A1008_2 is then
actuated. It allows the current Kl15 to actuate the relay K11. The current Kl30 issued from the connector X354
can then supply the service circuit and charge the service batteries.
Ground
The electrical system of the hydraulic excavator R9250 is an important part. So for more safety the ground of
every electrical circuits have been regrouped on the rotating deck.

13.1.6.5The BST
The Litronic excavators are equipped with an electronical command system, the BST (from the German word
: Baggersteuerung).
This system manages the hydraulic pumps and the diesel motor. That means :
• Motor speed adjusting.
• Motor speed storage.
• Hydraulic pumps management.
• Power regulation.
• Hydraulic installation ventilator regulation.
• Hydraulic installation supervision (oil level and temperature).
• Diesel engine management.
• Coolant liquid temperature supervision.
• Motor oil pressure supervision.
Informations, which arrive or go out from the BST, are transmitted and stored via the BUS CAN 1 and are me-
morised in the BST RAM. Informations, which arrive or go out from the display and from the PCB ESP01, are
transmitted via the second bus, CAN2. The BUS CAN 2 transports the information coming from and going to
the display and the PCB ESP01.
Definition
A BUS is a wiring system connecting several terminals in the same way. The CAN (Controller Area Network)
protocol is associated with a chip (5 x 5 mm) which is fast (100 KBD to 1 Mbd) and can be used in severe con-
ditions (vibrations, variable temperatures, ...) as it is the case with the LIEBHERR’s hydraulic excavators.
Principle
The BUS is used to transmit, via a two cables system, numerical information between terminals. Several ter-
minals can send out a message at the same time : there is no «master / slave» relationship. The messages
are processed using an established priority order.
When a message is send, all terminals receive it but only the concerned terminal takes the message into ac-
count and processes it.
The high data transfer rate produces some signal distortion corrected at reception by the CAN processor. This
processor allows each terminal to control the messages on the bus stopping those containing an error and sen-
ding an acknowledgement message when the message is correct. This system enables the detection of faulty
terminals and minimises the perturbation generated by them to the detriment of the other terminal transmis-
sions.
13.1.6.7The BBT
Function
The BBT (Baggerbedientastatur in German) is the information dealer between the BST and the display. The
BBT allows the modification of the diesel motor states, the hydraulic pumps, the washer and the wiper, the hea-
ting, the lighting, the orientation and the translation brakes.
An essential function of the BBT is that the BST error signals and the error messages from the sensors are
stored and can be transmitted on a laptop. The error messages from the sensors are stored at the time when
the incident occurred during the working time, the duration of the error and its frequency.

Battery Conditions
NOTICE
Until temperatures of electrical system components stabilize, these conditions may be observed during cold
start voltage tests.
• Maintenance / low maintenance battery :
– Immediately after engine starts, system volts are lower than regulator setpoint with medium amps.
– 3 - 5 minutes into charge cycle, higher system volts and reduced amps.
– 5 - 10 minutes into charge cycle, system volts are at, or nearly at, regulator setpoint, and amps are reduced
to a minimum.
– Low maintenance battery has same characteristics with slightly longer recharge times.
• Maintenance-free battery :
– Immediately after engine start, system volts are lower than regulator setpoint with low amps.
– 15 - 30 minutes into charge cycle, still low volts and low amps.
– 15 - 30 minutes into charge cycle, volts increase several tenths. Amps increase gradually, then quickly to
medium to high amps.
– 20 - 35 minutes into charge cycle, volts increase to setpoint and amps decrease.
• High-cycle maintenance-free battery :
– These batteries respond better than standard maintenance-free. Charge acceptance of these batteries may
display characteristics similar to maintenance batteries.
Basic troubleshooting
Tools and Equipment for Job
– Digital Multimeter (DMM)
– Ampmeter (digital, inductive)
– Jumper wires
Preliminary Check-out
Check symptons in table 1 and correct if necessary.
SYMPTOM ACTION
Low Voltage Output Check : loose drive belt ; low battery state of charge.
Check : current load on system is greater than alternator can produce.
Check : defective wiring or poor ground path ; low regulator setpoint.
Check : defective alternator and / or regulator.
Basic troubleshooting
• Inspect charging system components for damage
Check connections at B- cable, B+ cable, and alternator-to-regulator harness. Repair or replace any damaged
component before troubleshooting.
• Inspect all vehicle battery connections
Connections must be clean and tight.
• Determine batteries voltages and states of charge
If batteries are discharged, recharge or replace batteries as necessary. Electrical system cannot be properly
tested unless batteries are charged 95% or higher. In addition, open circuit voltages must be within ± 0.2 V.
• Connect meters to alternator
Connect red lead of DMM to alternator B+ terminal and black lead to alternator B- terminal. Clamp inductive
ammeter on B+ cable.
• Operate vehicle
Observe charge voltage.
CAUTIONIf charge voltage is above 33 volts, immediately shut down system.
Electrical system damage may occur if charging system is allowed to operate at high voltage.
If voltage is at or below regulator setpoint, let charging system operate for several minutes to normalize ope-
rating temperature.
• Observe charge volts and amps
Charge voltage should increase and charge amps should decrease. If charge voltage does not increase within
ten minutes, continue to next step.
• Batteries are considered fully charged if charge voltage is at regulator setpoint and charge amps remain
at lowest valur for 10 minutes.
• If charging system is not performing properly, go to second chart (test OVCO circuit) on the last page.
• Check OVCO circuit
Shut down vehicle and restart engine. If alternator functions normally after restart, a «no output condition» was
a normal response of voltage regulator to «high voltage» condition. Inspect condition of electrical system, in-
cluding loose battery cables, both positive and negative. If battery disconnects from system, it could cause «hi-
gh voltage» condition in electrical system, causing OVCO circuit to trip.
If you have reset alternator once, and electrical system returns to normal charge voltage condition, there may
have been a one time, high voltage spike, causing OVCO circuit to trip.
If OVCO circuit repeats cutcout a second time in short succession and shuts off alternator F+ circuit, try third
restart. If OVCO circuit repeats cutout, go to second chart (test OVCO circuit) on the last page.

13.1.7.2Batteries
Technical data
Nominal voltage : 12V.
Nominal capacity : 170 Ah.
DIN : 72 311.
Maximal dimensions : 514*218*210 mm.
Housing material : Polypropylene.
Battery maintenance
Important : before repair on the electrical system, or before using an arc welder on the machine, the negative
battery terminal should be disconnected first and reconnected last.
In order for the batteries to function properly, it is important to keep them clean at all time.
The battery poles and cable clamps in particular should be cleaned regularly and then coated with acid resis-
tant grease.
To check the electrolyte level, open battery compartment door, lift up rubber cover and remove caps. The elec-
trolyte level should be ½´´ (10 - 15 mm) above the plates. If the electrolyte level is low, add distilled water.
Regularly check the specific gravity with hydrometer. A fully charged battery should have a value of 1.28 kg/l
(31,5°). Batteries with a lower value should be recharged. Reinstall caps, check if battery is mounted securely
and close the battery compartment door.
Danger
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses when handling batteries!
Keep sparks and open flame away from battery. Battery fumes are highly flammable and explosive. Batteries
contain acid, which should not be touched. In case of contact, flush with water and get medical attention.
