The ballast nearest the front of the machine operates the front lamps, and the
ballast nearest the rear of the machine operates the rear lamps.
WARNING: Do not disconnect the fluorescent lamps with power on the circuit,
as this will permanently damage the regulated power supply (lamp ballast), and
it will have to be replaced. Turn off the power switch on the front panel before
removing the lamps.
2.1.5 LAMP CURRENT SENSOR
The lamp current sensor provides a means for adjusting the lamp ballasts to set the
proper light output from the front and rear fluorescent lamps.
2.1.6 LOW AIR PRESSURE SWITCH
The low air pressure switch turns off the feeders if the air pressure is lower than a
preset amount. This prevents product from flowing through the machine when
there is insufficient air pressure to operate the ejectors properly.
2.1.7 SYSTEM INTERFACE PCB
The System Interface PCB is installed on machines that will be remotely controlled
using external inputs, or on machines that will provide data to a remote monitoring
system. Terminal strip style connectors allow field wiring to be made without
soldering (See Section 2.24).
2.2 CONTROL PANEL (See Figure 2-2)
2.2.1 POWER ON-OFF SWITCH
If the sorter is connected to electrical power and the power lock-out switch is on,
the AVAILABLE indicator lamp in the top half of the POWER switch will be
illuminated yellow.
If the main circuit breaker in the lower power enclosure is turned on, when the
POWER switch is pressed the ON indicator lamp in the bottom half of the POWER
switch will be illuminated green and the machine will turn on in the following
sequence.
A. DC power supplies turn on and are checked for proper voltages (+15V,
-15V, +12V, +5V).
If one of the power supplies does not operate properly, the FAULT indicator
lamp in the bottom half of the STATUS switch (See Section 2.2.2) will be
illuminated red. The sequence will then stop until the problem is
corrected.
B. The viewer fluorescent lamps will be turned on and tested for proper light
output.
