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 |
|
| 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. |
