This is the service manual for the APC300 control system, the mechatronics brain of KATO hydraulic excavators.
The APC controller includes a microprocessor in its processing unit that optimizes pump operation and controls the
engine in order to obtain the most economical output in response to varying loads while the excavator is in operation. It
also uses auto-slow control and other functions in order to achieve low fuel consumption, low noise, high working
efficiency and excellent control response.
The APC300 system also runs self diagnostics that constantly monitor the system's functions. If it encounters any
abnormality, it displays an error message to alert the user and stores service and malfunction data to enable efficient
servicing and high reliability. However, the APC300 system cannot be expected to operate at full efficiency without
proper aftercare by a competent specialist technician.
Accordingly, this manual was put together as a technical guide for the technician who services the APC300 system. In
order to service the APC300 system according to correct procedures, the technician must read both this manual and the
machine instruction manual thoroughly in order to gain an in-depth understanding of the advanced system of the APC
controller, and must also learn specialized techniques and strictly observe the precautions.
・ The APC controller is precisely assembled from many electronic components. The cover
should be removed and connectors disconnected only when an error code giving details of a
malfunction calls for you to do so.
・ Before you remove the cover or disconnect a connector from the APC controller, stop the
engine and turn the key to OFF.
・ Only specialist technicians with advanced knowledge should attempt to service the APC
controller.
・ The APC controller should be serviced in an area with little dust and low humidity. The
presence of dust or moisture in the electronic circuits could cause serious malfunctions.
・ If you have any questions related to the information covered in this manual, please consult the
service representative at your authorised KATO dealer.

Data file
The meanings of the main terms that appear in the text are as follows.
・ ACCL
Accelerator value
Calculated by SPAD, it is used as a reference value for NCES.
・ ADJUST MODE
The mode that provides necessary information for adjustments to the machine and the APC controller. The necessary
information appears on the display.
・ E2PROM
A type of ROM to which data can be written and read. E2PROM is used to store data such as the initial adjustment
values for the APC300 system. The data can then be retrieved when it is needed.
Data stored in E2PROM is not lost when the APC300 system power is turned off.
-1-
・ PAST ERROR
The details of errors that occurred previously. Up to eight errors are displayed in the order of oldest to newest.
・ RAM
Memory that can be freely written and read. In the APC300 system, RAM is used to store data from the various
sensors for retrieval whenever needed. However, any data stored in RAM is lost when the APC300 system power is
turned off.
・ ROM
Memory from which data can only be read. The code number of a ROM differs according to the data that is stored
in the ROM. The operation of the APC300 system is governed by the data stored in ROM.
-2-
・ Power mode
The power mode refers to the following three operating modes, which allows selecting the mode best suited to the
given operating conditions or operating objectives.
(1) All-round mode
General purpose mode appropriate for general operations, which offers a good balance between productivity and
fuel economy.
(2) Pro mode
Productivity mode appropriate for experienced operators.
(3) Eco mode
Economical mode that prioritizes fuel economy.

When the APC controller detects an abnormality in system operation during self-diagnostic checking, it displays an
appropriate message on the display to notify the operator of a malfunction in the system.
The fail-safe function will also operate automatically, if necessary, in order to ensure the continued safe operation of the
machine.
In addition, the APC300 system has an ADJUST MODE which provides useful information for servicing.
