Lid / Limit sensors
There are (3) types of sensors on the close-coupled pulper.
1.
Extractor Chute.
(Magnetic proximity sensor.)
This prevents the extractor from operating
with the lid on the chute open as this is
potentially dangerous should someone reach
into the head area. It is mounted on the
side of the chute and interfaces with a
magnet on the lid.
2.
Hinged lid switch.
(Inductive proximity sensor.)
This sensor is mounted inside the latch
keeper, up from the bottom. The top of the
sensor will see the latch tang when placed
inside the keeper. The sensing range is very
small (3mm). If in need of adjustment care
must be taken not to raise the sensor too
high or the latch will come in contact with
the sensor. If this should happen and it is
damaged it will fail and require replacing.
(Refer to the exploded view section for
further clarification if needed.)
3. UDT lid switch.
(Magnetic inductive proximity sensor.)
The UDT (Under Dish Table) model has a
sensor mounted inside a ½” pipe. The sensor
is inside the pulper and will detect the
presence of the lid as it has a thin magnet
located in between two walls of stainless.
This sensor operates on 24-volts and extreme
care should be taken
not
to apply 120 volts
to it. This will burn out the sensor and it
will require replacing.
