The motor will stop if the wastebasket is full. The shredder will not operate
until the excess paper is cleared.
The basket full sensor is an electric eye that monitors the paper level in the
basket. The sensor consists of a transmitter and receiver LEDs. On the C-320
and C-380, the LEDs t in special 2-piece brackets that are attached to the
left and right sides of the underside of the cabinet shelf. On the C-320C and
C-380C, the LEDs t into a bracket that is inserted into an opening on the
cabinet shelf. The wires from the sensor connect to the PC board. The sensor
connects to the Basket Full indicator LEDs through the PC board. (See the
wiring diagram.)
