C.BASE SECTION ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS

INTRODUCTION

There are four (4) electrical components associated with the MLS-460 base section. These components are interfaced to a junction box, and connect to the main electrical enclosure through a disconnect cable. The “Base Junction Box” is located on the right rear of the base section, and title of its wiring diagram is “MLS-460 Base Electrical Junction Box Wiring Diagram.” The base section of electrical components provide:

•Tumbler (basket) position information (Front Up - Level - Rear Up)

•Lint chamber pressure information

•Lint screen mechanism functioning okay information

The following information will provide a means to respond to “Base” associated Fault Messages, and to verify ALL the electrical signals associated with the Base Section. Refer to the MLS-460 Base Junction Box for a detailed wiring diagram.

1.0Base Section Electrical Components a. Front Door Switch

The “Front Down Sensing Switch” is located on the left side of the MLS-460 base and comprises of four

(4)parts; head, arm, body, and cord grip device. The head is a rotating type, with a roller arm attached for switch actuation. The body contains a double-pole-double-throw (DPDT), normally open switch. LS has two (2) electrical functions, A and B.

“A” provides a “rear down” signal to the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller)

“B” is used as an electrical interlock to the “Rear Up Signal”

b. Rear Down Switch - LS2

The “Rear Down Sensing Switch” is located on the left side of the MLS-460 base, and comprises of four

(4)parts; head, arm, body, and cord grip device. The head is a rotating type, with a roller arm attached for switch actuation. The body contains a double-pole-double-throw (DPDT), normally open switch.

“A” provides a “rear down” signal to the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller)

“B” is used as an electrical interlock to the “Front Up Signal”
