Cycle
Control Systems
| Photoelectric
Cycle Control |
 |
The Photoelectric Cycle
Control consists of a light source and a reflector. The kit can be mounted
on the chute attached to the packer or on opposite walls of the room in
which the packer is installed. In the latter arrangement, two holes, properly
located so as to eliminate any hazard, should be provided in the chute for
the light beam. This mounting arrangement keeps the photoelectric eye and
reflector cleaner and reduces the chance of accidental misalignment while
in use. The light source is LED and, therefore, the beam is not visible.
It will, however, penetrate dust and carry over a longer distance than the
conventional light bulb. When the light beam has been interrupted for approximately
15 seconds, it will automatically activate the packer which will continue
running until the obstruction between the light source and reflector is
cleared.
Recommended for use with Photoelectric Cycle Control, the Automatic
Shutdown prevents extended continuous packer operation due to "blocked"
photoelectric eye, thereby avoiding unnecessary wear and tear to the packer
due to heat buildup. This option package includes a timer which can be set
for up to 30 minutes (for high-rise applications, we recommend 15 to 30
minutes), an illuminated push button so that the operator knows why the
unit has shut down, plus other completing parts. To deactivate the timer,
one merely depresses the illuminated push button after clearing the blockage. |
| Jog
Control Station |
 |
Packer mounted Jog Control
Station - The Jog Control Station is mounted on the charge box end of
the packer (RH standard - if LH desired, it must be specified.) It consists
of a three position key switch - Remote, OFF, Bypass, and a three position
selector switch - Ram Extend, Off, Ram Retract. The key switch is normally
left in the "Remote" mode. In that position, the remote push button
station can be operated, but the Jog Control Station is deactivated. When
the container is to be emptied, the driver's key is inserted and the switch
rotated to the "Bypass" mode, which permits the driver to manually
control the packer in order to clear the charge box. If the container will
be absent for a period of time, the key switch can be rotated to "Off"
position, which deactivates all controls and prevents cycling the unit without
the container present. This option is particularly useful for chute fed
installations, especially where access into the building is difficult. |
| Hold
To Run Button - Sustained Manual Pressure Control Button |
 |
The Hold To Run Button -
Sustained Manual Pressure Control Button requires the compactor operator
to remain at the remote push button station while the compactor is in use
and may be required to meet ANSI standards in certain applications. Actuation
requires depressing the "Hold To Run" and the "Start"
button is released. If the "Hold To Run" button is released, the
unit will shut off. |
| Multi-Cycle
Timer |
|
The Multi-Cycle Timer is
installed in the electrical panel box and is adjustable from 0 seconds to
17 minutes. When the "Start" button is depressed, it automatically
activates the timer. The compactor will operate for the specified time,
the packer ram will automatically retract and the unit will stop. Timer
is preset by Mark-Costello at 3 cycles and can be adjusted by the user. |
| Programmed
Timer |
| |
The Programmed Timer can
be adjusted from 3 to 30 minutes to automatically start the compactor. This
option is desirable when the compactor is conveyor fed or when the refuse
is fed to the compactor at a predictable rate. The Programmed Timer includes
a three position selector switch for Automatic, OFF, and Manual modes. This
option should be used with an interlocked enclosure and a container full
light. |
