5. INFEED - SENSOR BAR
An infra red sensor bar assembly is located at the entrance to the processor. As soon as
media passes across the sensor bar a process cycle is initiated which in turn starts the
transport motor and triggers timing circuits for the control of ”timed” processing sequences –
wash off, standby, dryer on. Timed sequences are set to operate to pre-programmed
automatic requirements and are also used for providing a visual reference on the material
location as it passes through the processor.
Important: Special care must be taken to ensure that the processor entrance rollers are
always clean and dry – any spillage of chemical or water onto the feed tray / feed rollers
or sensor bar must be avoided. Any spillage must be cleaned immediately.
