General Maintenance 71
To adjust a proximity switch:
1.
Loosen the proximity switch nuts.
2.
Adjust the proximity switch so that there is a gap of approximately 3/16 of an inch (4.8 mm)
between the plate (target) and the switch.
3.
Tighten up the nuts.
4.
Test the operation.
The proximity switch light should turn on when the target is detected; if not, repeat the adjustment
procedure.
In the following sections, you will learn how to adjust limit/proximity switches based on the function
for which they are used.
Packer Limit/Proximity Switches
Packer limit/proximity switches were adjusted at the factory for optimal packer operation. If the area
behind the packer is not properly cleaned
daily, limit/proximity switches may no longer stop the
packer or may prevent automatic cycles from working properly.
Furthermore, over time, misalignment of the components may occur due to the frequent back and
forth motion of the packer. An adjustment might be necessary to prevent cylinders from completely
extending and retracting to the end of their strokes.
On some units, the packer range of motion is controlled by two limit switches and on other units, it is
controlled by a set of one limit switch and one proximity switch. The limit/proximity switch that
stops the packer during extension (packer extend) is located on the curbside front lower section of
the body (see Figure 3
55). The limit switch that stops the packer during retraction
(packer retract) is located either on the curbside front lower section of the body or on the curbside
front upper section of the body (see Figure 3
55).
The Packer Extend
limit/proximity switch sends a signal to the ECU multiplex module that the
packer panel has reached its extended packing position. Once the signal from the limit/proximity
switch is received, the module prompts the packer to retract to complete its packing cycle.
The Packer Retract
limit switch sends a signal to the ECU multiplex module that the packer has
reached its fully retracted position.
Danger!
Always lock out and tag out the vehicle when inspecting it or performing maintenance
on it (see
