Reed element C240, C240R, C260 and C260R
General
The function of the Reed element is to check that the lid is properly closed before
extraction can start.
A complete Reed ring consists of two Reed elements, set the ring itself, beneath the
deck. The cable from the Reed ring is routed out through the edge of the deck via the
control box down to the automatic control unit. The lid is adjusted so that the machine
will stop if the lid is moved upwards or sideways by force from inside or outside the
machine during extraction. Once the extractor has stopped it can be restarted provided
that the lid is properly closed.
Instructions for repair
If the lid is too sensitive during extraction the machine will stop. This may be caused by
a slight lateral movement of the lid. The cause of the fault may be:
• The round rubber dampers are missing or are very worn. Check the dampers in the
control unit. If they are missing or worn the lateral movement will be too great.
• The lid is not centred over the opening. The lid is attached to the arm with a bolt and
locked with a rivet. Check these fastenings.
• The lid is too high. Check the position of the lid when it is opened and moved
sideways. The lid should be as close as possible to the deck. If the clearance is too
great, adjust at the nuts which hold the automatic control unit in place.
• The Reed element is defective. Check according to section 12 “ Function sequences-
measurement points”
To replace a Reed ring
• Remove the two cable connections on the curcuit board for automatic functions.
• Remove nut and washer (C260 and C260R - 2 of these) securing the Reed/Hall ring
(use a socket wrench)
• Pull the cables out through the hole in the deck.
• Remove the Reed/Hall ring from the deck.
• Install a new Reed ring.
