Service Manual – SW5500, FLOORTEC R 985
42 - Sweep System, Main Broom
Functional Description
Pressing the One-Touch button
on the Main Control Board makes the main broom support system
lower via the actuator (A1)
The actuator is powered for 5 seconds, within which time it should reach the requested end stroke position
(the actuator has internal limit switches with bypass diodes)
The electric motor transmits the motion to the main broom via a reduction gear connected to a hexagonal
driver that supports the broom
The machine must be moving otherwise the main broom motor does not run Information on the machine
movement is detected by the drive motor (M0) encoder (ENC) connected to the Drive Wheel Controller (EB2)
The Drive Wheel Controller (EB2) transmits this information to the Main Machine Controller (EB1) via the
CANOPEN protocol on the CAN-BUS line between connector J7 of the Main Machine Controller (EB1) and
connector JC of the Drive Wheel Controller (EB2)
The front skirt lifting pedal allows to collect medium size waste materials (cans, boxes, etc ) The front skirt
must be lifted only when necessary, because it reduces the operation of the dust guard system
