OPTIONAL CONTROLS
1. SUSTAINED MANUAL PRESSURE CONTROL BUTTON (Hold-To-Run, Release-To-Stop)
This option requires the compactor operator to remain at the push button station while the
compactor is in use. Actuation requires depressing the "Hold-To-Run" and "Start" buttons.
After the unit has started, the "Start" button is released. If the "Hold-To-Run" button is
released, the unit will stop instantly.
2. ADVANCE WARNING / CONTAINER FULL LIGHT - When the light starts flashing
(ADVANCE WARNING), then 200 PSI is left before the pressure switch is activated to shut
the unit off and container is full (unit will run when light flashes). When the light stays on
continuously (CONTAINER FULL), the container is full and is ready to be emptied before its
next use. To deactivate the light, depress the illuminated emergency stop button (The unit
will not run while the light is continuously on).
3. RAM STOP FORWARD - When a machine with this option has been stopped, the ram
automatically begins to move rearward when restarted. To move the ram forward
(when it is stopped), hold the FORWARD button down, turn the key switch clockwise,
depress and release the key switch, then release the FORWARD button. To reverse the
ram while it is moving forward, depress the key switch. To cause the ram to move
forward while it is moving rearward, press the FORWARD button.
4. ACCESS INTERLOCK - This is optional with units equipped with doors, chutes, or access
gates. It prevents the unit from operating while a door or gate is open.
5. PHOTOELECTRIC CYCLE CONTROL - (Photocell) - Consists of a LED light source and a
reflector. It can be mounted on a hopper or chute. Two holes, located so as to prevent any
hazard, are located in opposite walls of the chute. When the light beam is blocked for 15
seconds, the compactor is activated and will continue to run until the obstruction has been
cleared.
6. AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN - Used with the photoelectric cycle control. If a blockage in
the charge chamber causes the compactor to continue cycling, the timer will shut the
compactor down after the preset time has passed. To deactivate the timer, the illuminated
pushbutton is pressed after clearing the blockage.
7. THERMOSTATICALLY CONTROLLED OIL HEATER - This option is installed in the oil
reservoir. The thermostat is adjustable so the heater will heat the oil when the oil
temperature goes below a specified level. It is recommended to set the thermostat
between 70° F - 100° F.
