Conveyor speed

Power Supply

Check power supply at the DC control board for the 120 VAC

varying or intermittent

 

at board terminals L1 and L2.

 

Motor Control Board

Place the test meter probes on terminals A+ and A-. (With

 

 

speed potentiometer set to maximum speed (Approximately 2

 

 

min.) The meter reading should be approximately 100 VDC

 

 

(±3%), if voltage is not steady within limits, then the board is

 

 

probably bad. Always check the speed pot., be sure it is okay

 

 

before changing a board. This test is not always 100%

 

 

accurate as this test is not performed at operating speeds.

 

 

However, this test is the best method currently available.

 

DC Gearmotor

If the DC control board is steady then the problem may be the

 

 

motor or gearbox. Check the brushes in the motor for

 

 

excessive arching and/or unusual wear. Check the motor and

 

 

gearbox from instruction located under "possible cause" listing

 

 

"conveyor gear motor."

 

Magnet

Check to insure that the magnet (cemented to shaft of

 

 

conveyor drive motor) has not been damaged, or come loose

 

 

from motor shaft. Replace as needed.

 

Hall Effect Sensor

Check for any physical damage to hall effect sensor (mounted

 

 

on conveyor drive motor.) Check all wiring and connections

 

 

for damage. Check all connections for tightness or proper

 

 

location. Replace as needed. Connect new hall effect to

 

 

system and check for steady operation.
