ELECTRIC EYE OPTION
Figure 17
Most K-PAC
™
compactors are used in high rise apartment buildings and fed by chutes. An electric eye option
(Figure 17, 1) is used to activate the auto-cycle the ram until the chamber is cleared. To test this option, block the
electric eye with paper or cardboard by inserting it in front of the eye outside of the chamber. There should be a
delay time before the unit starts after the eye has been blocked. If the eye remains blocked when the cycle ends,
the power unit will shut down. The auto-cycle will restart after a time delay which allows the hydraulic valve to reset
for forward movement. This will allow additional cycles as necessary until the chamber is cleared.
