The Imbalance Sensor uses a rubber membrane that contains a
metal weight. Erratic movements of the suds container cause the
imbalance weight to move and change the pressure signals being
produced by the sensor. The pressure signals are measured three
times during the spin to establish an average value.
The Electronic then compares this averaged value to the pulses
being received from the Tachogenerator. Should the Electronic
detect an imbalance condition, the spin speed is reduced
accordingly.
Note
If the Imbalance Sensor fails, a fault will not be not stored, or
displayed. The Electronic will then rely on the Tachogenerator
pulses to monitor for any imbalance conditions.
