COMPACTOR FULL ALARM
1.
The system has seen excessive pressure before reaching the end of its forward motion. Check
the Ram Ext time in the Set Up screens. It is possible the time is set too long allowing the
compactor to reach its end of stroke. In this case the ram will be pushing against its mechanical
limits giving the impression of a full container. Re-ad
just the time and press the “1” key to
reset the alarm.
2.
Trash has built up behind the ram (see above). This will shorten the return stroke. The next
forward stroke can then result in a COMPACTOR FULL alarm.
3.
The container is full.
A.
Reverse the ram several inches to relieve pressure on the refuse by pushing the
Left Arrow
key while in Manual. The ram will retract. Stop it by releasing the pushbutton. Press the E-Stop
button to de-energize the control system.
B.
Release tension on the ratchets until the container is free to move.
C.
Pull the container free of the compactor. Close the lid at the end door of the container and
move it out of the way.
D.
Replace with an empty container.
E.
Twist the emergency stop pushbutton
to release and press 1” on the alarm screen to reset
the compactor full alarm.
CHAPTER 6 - SAFETY CONCERNS
The CP1/CP2-C5 compactor is an efficient machine, well designed for the purpose intended.
HOWEVER - - -
As with any device of this nature, improper practices in its use or inadequate maintenance once in operation
can result in injury to personnel and/or damage to the equipment. Both the potential injuries and the damage
can be severe.
ACCORDINGLY - - -
1)
Never try and service the compactor unless you have depressed the emergency stop pushbutton and
opened the wall mounted disconnect.
2)
Never remove or modify any safety device.
3)
Always disconnect and padlock power at the 30 amp wall disconnect. Do not rely strictly on the
Emergency Stop pushbutton. This is a secondary safety device. It will stop the compactor from
operating but there will still be 208
–
440 volt power in the control cabinet.
4)
Never climb into or on to the compactor
