Does anyone know to get the pressure gauge on the remote to work on a 99' Schwing 42 Meter boom ? The pressure gauge isn't working on the remote, and I dont have a clue how to fix it. Thanks

Check your pressure transducer its an electrical plug located behind your pressure guage on the pump, or at least thats where its located on my 06 39m i'd check your parts book/manuel to locate it for sure on the 42 not familiar with that style layout

Where on the truck are you talking about? The mechanical gauge on the brain? or the LCD screen on the CPC2 panel? or the Accumulator Pressure gauge on the back of the pump?

does your pressure guage on the cpc2 lcd screen work? if so id say you have a problem with your remote box.  if its not working there then id follow the pressure line for the mechanical guage starting at the brain, follow it till you see that line has a t with an electrical plug that elect plug should be your pressure transducer wich tells the cpc2 what the pressure is. ill take a picture of the plug your looking for when i get to work later today for you.

ok. yeah pressure gauge lcd readout isn't working for me on remote or cpc2 panel

on the 42 there isn't an electrical plug on the brain near the mechanical gauge but all the hydraulics run to the rear of the truck. attached is a picture. under the pump forward and reverse there is a plug that looks like its hooked right at the bottom of the pump block. could that perhaps be the transducer plug your speaking of?

below the forward reverse switch is also the e stop manifold.

another view. hopefully this is facing the correct directiob

oh and the pumps a 2002 not 1999 sorry. 2023-4 pump kit

I found the transducer but I think I have bigger problems than that. I don't have temp, rpm, or pressure on remote. on back panel temp works but rpm doesn't.

Dont rely on those electronics to dictate your daily operation of the concrete pump,rely on your eyes,ears,nose,and ass to "feel" your machine.

I dont rely on the readouts. I do listen to the truck, watch the mixers, watch the boom, watch the hose guy, watch for hazards. Listen to the pump shifting, Listen for an RPM change (plug).

I just got given this truck, and the LCD didn't work, so I figured I could be a nice guy and get it working again. What I do when I get a piece of equipment is go over the entire unit, check for things it needs, make a list, and fix the problems If I can. If I don't know how to fix something, I ask someone who does.

I take the trucks to my shop, sand them down, paint them, make them look good, fix any issues they have so they are a good running mechanically sound machine that won't give you problems.

It is nice to also have an LCD readout also just in case you are somewhere with very loud machines running where you can't hear anything. I've pumped at power stations before with a 34 meter pump, and I was standing on the machine and literally could not hear the pump running what-so-ever. The LCD readout made it easier for me to set the pump RPM, and watch the pressure while pumping.

But like I said, generally I do not rely on the read-outs what-so-ever.

Very good,thanks for maintaining your equipment ......I used to watch the position of the muffler flap to determine the engine speed,in high noise areas.

yeah, none of the pumps in our fleet have muffler flaps... thats a great idea though

anyone have any idea how to get the rpm, temp, and pressure to show up on remote LCD display ??

talked with a guy from schwing and he said it sounds like my reset switch may be bad. I'm gonna try to swap it out and see what happens
