Caterpillar Electronic Monitoring System


(CEMS)
The Caterpillar Electronic Monitoring System (CEMS) consists of an action alarm, an action light and
a monitoring panel with individual alert indicators for each machine system listed on the CEMS
panel.
The CEMS is designed to alert the operator of an immediate or impending problem in one or more of
the machine systems.

Instrument Panel
(1) Brake Air Pressure gauge. (2) Parking/Secondary Brake ON indicator.

Brake Air Pressure gauge (1) and Parking/Secondary Brake ON indicator (2) are part of the
instrument panel. Brake Air Pressure gauge (1) is controlled by a sensor. Parking/Secondary Brake
ON indicator (2) is controlled by a pressure switch.
Brake Air Pressure gauge (1) displays the air pressure in the system. When the needle on Brake Air
Pressure gauge (1) is in the red area, the CEMS action light will come on and the master alarm will

sound. This warning comes on when the air pressure from the service reservoirs is below 483 kPa (70
psi).
Parking/Secondary Brake ON indicator (2) flashes while the parking brakes or the secondary brakes
are engaged or a brake master cylinder has over stroked. When the parking brake or the secondary
brake is engaged and the transmission is moved into gear, the CEMS action light will come on and the
master alarm will sound.
When the cut-out air pressure is at 830 kPa (120 psi) and the lever on the parking brake control valve
is in the OFF position, Parking/Secondary Brake ON indicator (2) will stop flashing and the parking
and secondary brakes will release.

Air Compressor Governor

Air Compressor Governor


(1) Spring [to set pressure]. (2) Piston. (3) Inlet and exhaust valve. (4) Spring [for inlet and exhaust valve].

The air compressor governor operates with the air compressor unloader pistons to control the air
pressure in the system. The air compressor governor has a cut-out pressure setting of 830 35 kPa
(120 5 psi). When the air system increases to the maximum setting, the air pressure from the service
air reservoirs flows through the opening of the governor. This air flow moves the governor piston (2)
against the force of spring (4). Piston (2) moves inlet and exhaust valve (3) to open the inlet opening.
The air pressure flows through the governor to operate the compressor unloader mechanism which
stops the flow of compressed air.

https://sis.cat.com/sisweb/sisweb/techdoc/techdoc_print_page.jsp?returnurl=/sisweb/sisw... 09-08-2013

Bsqueda del medio - SENR1412 - 773D & 775D TRUCKS AIR SYSTEM & BRA...

Pgina 19 de 30

When the air pressure in the service air reservoirs decreases to the minimum setting of 690 + 0 - 35
kPa (100 + 0 - 5 psi), the force of spring (1) is greater than the minimum pressure on piston (2). Inlet
and exhaust valve (3) moves to close the inlet opening and open the exhaust opening of the governor.
This permits the compressor to send compressed air flow to the service air reservoirs.

Air Compressor

Air Compressor
(1) Air compressor governor. (2) Air compressor.

Air compressor (2) is driven by the timing gear train on the rear of the engine and is lubricated by the
lubrication system for the engine. Air compressor (2) is cooled by the engine cooling system. Air for
air compressor (2) comes from the engine air inlet manifold.
Air compressor governor (1) is mounted on air compressor (2) and connects to the air dryer.

Air Dryer

Air Dryer
(1) Air dryer. (2) Air relief valve.

Air flows from the air compressor into air dryer (1). Air dryer (1) removes the moisture and
contaminants from the air system. Air relief valve (2) located on air dryer (1) protects the air system
from damage. Air relief valve (2) will open at 1200 kPa (175 psi). Air relief valve (2) can not be
adjusted.

Air Reservoirs
Service Air Reservoirs
There are three air reservoirs in the air system. The service air reservoirs hold air under pressure for
control of the service brakes and retarder. The secondary air reservoir holds air under pressure for
control of the parking brake and secondary brakes.

(1) Service air reservoirs [for service brakes and retarder]. (2) Air pressure relief valve. (3) Drain valve.

Service air reservoirs (1) are located on top of the hydraulic and transmission tank. A cover must be
removed to access them. The two service air reservoirs (1) are connected; one has air pressure relief
valve (2) and the other has drain valve (3). Air pressure relief valve (2) is a backup to the relief valve
on the air dryer to protect the air system from damage. Air pressure relief valve (2) will open at 1030
kPa (150 psi). Moisture drains from one air reservoir to the other. By opening manual drain valve (3),
the moisture is expelled.

Secondary Air Reservoir

Location of Secondary Air Reservoir (For Parking and Secondary Brakes).

Pgina 21 de 30

Location of Drain Valve (For Secondary Air Reservoir).

The secondary air reservoir is located at the rear of the cab. A cover must be removed to access the
secondary air reservoir. The drain valve is located on the right side of the cab. By opening the manual
drain valve, moisture is expelled.

One-Way Check Valve

Components Of The Check Valve


(1) Seat. (2) Valve. (3) Spring.

The one-way check valves in the air system are used to stop the reverse flow of air from the air
reservoirs. There are one-way check valves fastened in the inlet of the first service air reservoir and in
the inlet of the secondary air reservoir.
Air from the air compressor will put spring (3) in compression and valve (2) will open. This permits
air to flow into the reservoirs.

https://sis.cat.com/sisweb/sisweb/techdoc/techdoc_print_page.jsp?returnurl=/sisweb/sisw... 09-08-2013

Bsqueda del medio - SENR1412 - 773D & 775D TRUCKS AIR SYSTEM & BRA...

Pgina 22 de 30

When the air pressure in the reservoir and the force of spring (3) is more than the air pressure from the
air compressor, valve (2) will move against seat (1). This prevents air from flowing into the air
compressor from the reservoirs.

Pressure Protection Valve

Pressure Protection Valve


(1) Supply passage. (2) Valve. (3) Delivery passage.

https://sis.cat.com/sisweb/sisweb/techdoc/techdoc_print_page.jsp?returnurl=/sisweb/sisw... 09-08-2013

Bsqueda del medio - SENR1412 - 773D & 775D TRUCKS AIR SYSTEM & BRA...

Pgina 23 de 30

A pressure protection valve in the air system prevents a complete loss of air pressure in either the
secondary air system or any accessory device.
All air flow for the accessory circuits for the brakes must flow through the pressure protection valve.
Air will not flow through valve (2) until the air pressure at supply passage (1) is 550 kPa (80 psi).
When the pressure at supply passage (1) is 550 kPa (80 psi), valve (2) moves to allow air to flow to
delivery passage (3). Valve (2) closes when the air pressure lowers below 485 kPa (70 psi).

Service Brake Control Valve


Gradual modulation of the service brake system is controlled by the use of the foot operated brake
control valve (treadle). The rate of rise (time versus psi) is called modulation.
The foot valve modulates air pressure from the service air reservoirs to the brake relay valve. In
addition, the valve body serves as a junction point for the several circuits requiring non-modulated
air/auxiliary components and the retarder brake controls.

Service Brake Control Valve (Treadle)


(1) Seat. (2) Rubber spring. (3) Piston assembly. (4) Retainer. (5) Outlet passage. (6) Spring. (7) Valve seat. (8) Valve
seat. (9) Valve. (10) Valve body. (11) Valve spring. (12) Exhaust passage. (13) Inlet passage. (14) Exhaust diaphragm.

When the brake pedal is pushed, a force is put on seat (1). This force pushes rubber spring (2) and
piston assembly (3) down. Valve seat (7) closes exhaust passage (12) in valve (9). Piston assembly (3)
moves valve (9) off valve seat (8). Pressure air from inlet passage (13) flows around valve (9) to
outlet passage (5). The air then flows to the relay valve for the air chambers in the brake master
cylinders.

https://sis.cat.com/sisweb/sisweb/techdoc/techdoc_print_page.jsp?returnurl=/sisweb/sisw... 09-08-2013

Bsqueda del medio - SENR1412 - 773D & 775D TRUCKS AIR SYSTEM & BRA...

Pgina 24 de 30

When the air pressure below piston assembly (3) becomes more than the force above the piston, the
piston lifts enough to allow valve (9) to move up to valve seat (8). This stops the supply of pressure
air. Piston assembly (3) is still in contact with valve (9), so exhaust passage (12) is also closed. The
service brake control valve is now in balance. Air pressure is held in the lines and in the air chambers
in the brake master cylinders.
When the pedal is lifted a small amount, the force above piston assembly (3) is less. The pressure air
below piston assembly (3) and the force of spring (6) lifts the piston off valve (9). Pressure air in the
lines and in the air chambers in the brake master cylinders flows around piston assembly (3), through
exhaust passage (12) and out exhaust diaphragm (14) until the forces above and below the piston are
in balance.
When the pedal is completely released, piston assembly (3) moves off valve (9). Air pressure opens
exhaust diaphragm (14). Valve (9) is held against valve seat (8) by spring (11).

Parking And Secondary Brake Control Valve


The parking and secondary brake control valve is located on the right side of the truck frame across
from the hydraulic oil tank. The parking and secondary brake control valve controls the flow of oil to
the rear parking brakes.
The parking brakes are spring applied and pressure released.

Parking And Secondary Brake Control Valve In ON Position


(1) Passage [from parking brake release section of the oil pump]. (2) Relief valve. (4) Piston. (5) Air inlet passage. (6)
Stem. (7) Chamber [connected to torque converter inlet relief valve]. (8) Drain passage [to hydraulic oil tank]. (9) Check
valve. (10) Spring. (11) Oil outlet passage [to release parking brakes].

When the parking brake control valve in the cab is in the Parking Brake ON position, air flow to air
inlet passage (5) will be blocked. When there is no air flow at air inlet passage (5), spring (10) will
keep stem (6) pushed up and stop the flow of oil from passage (1) to oil outlet passage (11). The
engine must be in operation to have brake oil pressure to passage (1).

Stem. (7) Chamber [connected to torque converter inlet relief valve]. (8) Drain passage [to hydraulic oil tank]. (9) Check
valve. (10) Spring. (11) Oil outlet passage [to release parking brakes].

Move the parking brake control valve in the cab to the Parking Brake OFF position. Air pressure will
be allowed to flow into passage (5). Air pressure will force piston (4) and stem (6) down. When stem
(6) moves down, the pressure oil from passage (1) enters oil outlet passage (11). The oil pressure will
increase in the brake housing and release the parking brakes. Relief valve (2) limits system pressure to
4690 200 kPa (681 29 psi).

Front Wheel Brake Valve (On-Off) And


Parking Brake Control Valve (On-Off)
The front brakes are caliper disc brakes. An ON-OFF valve on the left side of the instrument panel, in
the cab, permits the operator to turn OFF the air to the front brakes when they are not needed.
When the front wheel brake valve is in the ON position, modulated air from the service brake control
valve activates the front and rear brakes. When the front wheel brake valve is in the OFF position, air
from the service brake control valve will only flow to the rear brakes.
The front wheel brake valve should be ON except when operating conditions are such that all wheel
brakes are not needed. Move the lever to the OFF position when only rear wheel brakes are needed.
The parking brake control valve (ON-OFF) for the rear brakes is not modulated. It is located on the
transmission control console in the cab. The rear brakes are oil cooled multi-disc brakes.
When the parking brake control valve is in ON position, no air flows to the parking and secondary
brake control valve. This causes parking brake application. When the parking brake control valve is in
the OFF position, full air system pressure flows to the parking and secondary brake control valve.
This causes parking brake release.

Control Valve Components


(1) Plunger. (2) Lever. (3) Passage [in plunger]. (4) Exhaust passage. (5) Delivery passage. (6) Spring. (7) Inlet valve. (8)
Seat. (9) Spring. (10) Supply passage.

The operation of the front wheel brake valve (ON-OFF) and the operation of the parking brake control
valve (ON-OFF) are the same. When air is needed to flow through the valve, lever (2) depresses
plunger (1). Plunger (1) moves inlet valve (7) off of seat (8) and exhaust passage (4) is closed.
Pressure air flows into supply passage (10) and flows around inlet valve (7), which is off seat (8). Air
flows out through delivery passage (5).
When air is not needed to flow through the valve, lever (2) releases plunger (1). Spring (6) moves
plunger (1) up and inlet valve (7) is pushed up to seat (8) by spring (9). Air from delivery passage (5)
flows through passage (3) in plunger (1) to exhaust passage (4).

Front Brake Ratio Valve

Location Of Front Brake Ratio Valve

The front brake ratio valve controls the air pressure to the front brakes when the front wheel brake
valve (ON-OFF) is in the ON position.
When the service brake pedal is partially depressed and the supply air pressure is below 448 kPa (65
psi), only 50% of the supply air pressure is allowed to the front wheel brake master cylinder. When
the supply pressure to the front brake ratio valve reaches 448 kPa (65 psi) and above, the delivery
pressure to the front wheel brake master cylinder equals the supply pressure.
With the air flow restricted during partial engagement, the rear brakes will engage first and provide
more control to the operator. During full supply air pressure, the operator will receive maximum
braking capacity.

A hand control valve on the right side of the steering column provides modulated application of the
service brakes for the rear wheels when machine retarding is needed. There is a retarder "ON" light on
the instrument panel.

Location Of Retarder Brake Control Valve

The retarder brake control valve is under the dash. The handle is connected to the retarder brake
control valve by a shaft assembly.

Retarder Brake Control Valve


(1) Cam. (2) Piston. (3) Valve seat [for exhaust air]. (4) Spring. (5) Valve seat [for inlet air]. (6) Supply passage. (7)
Delivery passage. (8) Exhaust passage.

The hand operated retarder brake control valve modulates air pressure, up to a maximum of 550 kPa
(80 psi), to the rear brake relay valve. When the handle is in the OFF position, air at system pressure
at supply passage (6) is stopped by the inlet valve.

When the handle is moved to the ON position, spring (4) is put in compression by cam (1). Spring (4)
puts pressure on piston (2) and the piston is moved down against the exhaust end of the valve
assembly. The exhaust end of the valve assembly is held on seat (3) and the inlet end of the valve
assembly is off seat (5). Supply air flows past the inlet end of the valve assembly to delivery passage
