| gear motor | and the motor does not run, first check |
|
| the mini breaker and then the conveyor. |
|
| Refer to the next possible cause. Check |
|
| the leads to the motor for evidence of |
|
| any shorts or opens , and each lead to |
|
| ground. Check motor brushes . From |
|
| the top of the motor, rotate motor shaft |
|
| to determine if there is a locked rotor |
|
| or a locked gearbox (use care so magnet |
|
| and Hall Effect sensor board are not |
|
| damaged). Replace motor as needed. |
| Conveyor | Check for any mechanical misalignment. |
|
| Also, check for worn bearings. |
|
| A conveyor belt that is over tightened |
|
| will cause excessive bearing wear and |
|
| sometimes, irregular speed. |
Conveyor speed varying | Power supply | Check power supply at the D.C. control |
or intermittent |
| board for supply voltage at board terminals |
|
| L1 and L2. |
| Motor control board | Place the test meter probes on terminals |
|
| A+ and |
|
| set to maximum speed – approximately |
|
| 2 min.). The meter reading should be |
|
| approximately 100VDC(±3%), if |
|
| voltage is not steady within limits, |
|
| then the board is usually bad. |
|
| Always check the speed potentiometer, |
|
| be sure it is OK before changing a |
|
| control 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. |
| D.C. Gearmotor | If the D.C. control board is steady, |
|
| then the problem may be the motor or |
|
| gearbox. Check the brushes in the |
|
| motor for excessive arching or |
|
| unusual wear. Check the motor and |
|
| gearbox from instructions located on |
|
| page 9 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 the motor shaft. Replace |
|
| as needed. |
| Hall Effect | Check for any physical damage to |
| Sensor | hall effect sensor (mounted on |
|
| conveyor drive motor). Check all |
|
| wiring and connections for tightness |
|
| and proper location. Replace as needed. |
|
| Connect new hall effect to system |
|
| and check for steady operation. |
Temperature display | Display transformer | Measure the transformer primary |
