We have a 45 meter schwing that will stop pumping,it will go into reverse but not forward if you unplug the vibrator it will go right back to pumping.It dont always do it it done it to me bout 2 years ago but hasnt done it again til yesterday.It has the vector system.has anyone else had this problem.I called schwing and they dont know why it does it.thanks

  when this happened did you get a chance to see what the vector said for input and output of the concrete pump?Does it just start working again or do you reboot the system.

it shows no output does not show any errors.you dont have to reboot you just unplug the vibrater and it goes to pumpin.

been seeing a couple bad wiring harness lately (bobcat loader and ford diesel truck) whats funny is the old one gets removed and not repaired, they just want to plug in the new expensive one.

toby, since you mentioned the vibrator, we had some goofy things happening to us (not your exact problem), just to find out there was a short in the cable or plug itself to the vibrator; check the box where it plugs into, is there any corrosion inside? is it blowing the fuse for the vibrator when it happens?

I would pull the vibrator, remove the plate covering where the electrical wires up to the vibrator. Odds are pretty good you have water in there shorting it out. reseal it with silicone when you put it back on.

I havent checked the box where it plugs in it could have corrosion or water in it .I will check it monday if I get time.It does not blow any fuses.I did look at the inside of the plug to see if it was corroded but it looked brand new.Thanks for all the help

Dipstick: The putz with display is very durable, been running one for 2-3 years and still as clear as the day it was new. Just keep it clean like you would do every day with the remote.
And you still got all the switches as before in the same places, the display is much nicer than have to walk back to the truck everytime you want to check temps., pressures, faults, battery, signal etc. or switch something off like the vibrator or make changes to you boom conf.
I mostly see advantages with electronics on equipment, so much easier to fault search.
But the electronics need maintenance like every other piece of equipment.

It is fewer parts on a wheelbarrow that could break... Why should not concretepumps develops ? That little piece of glas You change on a break.... Go back to cable and "black&white" , no volymcontrole on the remote (but you have practice to shout to the mixers) Why have air-condition in the cab , you should stand outside and work. What car do you drive ? Not a modern one , one from late 60 to early 1970 , and I mean some euro-car now not a US-car from late 60 . Black & white TV , no DVD .... Because they could BREAK ! It is 2010 !

If you had a display telling you the oiltemp. you might not have cooked the oil like you did. :D

I personally think having a display on your remote that shows things such as pumping pressure is a HUGE safety feature, It can be difficult to hear if your machine has plugged when you are working around such things as externally mounted wall vibrators ect.... I wish I had one on my remote!!

Yes you have to scroll, but it's fast and easy and laid out with symbols like everything on a Putz.
