CIRCUIT-BREAKER
To protect circuitry, the Control Panel ON/OFF Switch incorporates a Circuit Breaker providing overload protection.
Should an overload condition arise the breaker trips putting the Switch’s Baton in neutral. To reset breaker merely flip the
switch to OFF, and then back to the ON position.
SERVICE MESSAGE
This section refers to Whisper® Loaders with Brush-type Motor. IMS recommends replacing the motor brushes after 400
hours of operation to prevent detrimental damage to the Motor. The Control Panel’s internal timer device records accu-
mulated hours of operation; at the 400 hours screen will display service message – the Brushes must be changed. Once
replaced the SERVICE Alarm must be reset by depressing the UP button on the PLC Keypad (see Figure 2-1
or 2-2).
Note: Failure to replace brushes in a timely manner will eventually damage the commutator requiring complete
Motor/Turbine replacement. Please refer to Maintenance section for details on changing Brushes and other motor-related
maintenance issues.
Material Pick-Up
As standard a material Pick-Up Lance with Flex Hose are included with each Whisper® Loader system. On Loaders with
the PLVP option, two Pick-Up Lances plus an additional 10-ft length of Flex Hose (20-ft total) & two additional Clamps
(4 total) are supplied to accommodate both material Inlets.
PICK-UP LANCE
The Pick-up Lance is the material pick-up device which draws air down the crescent-shaped opening between the Outer
Tube & Inner Probe (this area must remain open to air, DO NOT block or allow top-end to be inserted below material
level) and then into source bin. There it will capture material and convey it up through the Lance’s Inner Probe (inner
probe sized to match line size of the loader inlet); then through the Flex Hose with final destination at the Loader Inlet.
Pick-Up Lance options include; material of construction, adjustable take-apart sanitary designs, and Bag Guard protec-
tive End-pieces.
HOSE
10-foot long PVC Flex Hose (inner diameter sized matches Loader’s Inlet) with Integral Copper Ground Wire (to
reduce/eliminate static built up). A pair of Stainless steel Worm-drive Hose Clamps is provided as standard. One end of
the Flex Hose is attached to the Pick-up Lance’s Inner Probe, the other end attached to the Loader’s Inlet.
