5.3. Safety Switch Assembly
How it Works
Found on the right hand side of the top-cover assembly, the safety switch has been introduced as
a secondary mechanism to prevent the motor running with an open lid. This uses a mechanical
microswitch linked to the inverter unit. This system bypasses the PCB and software, so in the
event there is an issue the macerator remains safe as the switch is not activated until the lid is
fully closed.
