ELECTRICAL OPERATION
A control wiring diagram of your specific conveyor is included at the end of this
manual. The following is a brief, verbal description of the electrical related features
of your unit.
A. Over Counter Control Panel (See Fig. 4.1)
1. External Controls
a. Disconnect Switch
The pistol-grip Disconnect Switch mounted on the left side of the
Conveyor Control Panel is used only when servicing the AVTEC
conveyor. To remove power from the conveyor and the Conveyor
Control Panel, rotate the handle counter-clockwise so that it is in the
three o'clock position.
The Disconnect Switch must be in the "Off" position in order to open
or close the front plate of the Conveyor Control Panel. When it is in
the "Off" position, a lock may be installed in the handle to prevent
the switch from being turned back on. Turn the handle clockwise to
the six o'clock position in order to restore power to the conveyor and
the Conveyor Control Panel.
b. Speed Control
The speed control knob is located just to the right of the center of
the panel. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the speed of the
conveyor belt. Turn the knob counter-clockwise to reduce the speed
of the conveyor belt.

c. Conveyor Stop Switch
The uppermost switch is a red "Stop" switch. Pressing the red
"Stop" switch will cause all operations to stop immediately. If
the conveyor is running, it will stop. If the conveyor is in a wash
cycle, the conveyor will stop and the water solenoid valve and the
detergent pump will shut off.
d. Conveyor Start Switch
The lowest of the three (3) switches mounted on the right hand side
of the Conveyor Control Panel is a green "Start" switch. Pressing the
green "Start" switch will cause the conveyor belt to begin running.
The conveyor will continue to run until the red "Stop" switch is
pressed or until power is otherwise removed from the Conveyor
Control Panel.
e. Conveyor Wash Switch
The center switch mounted on the right-hand side of the Conveyor
Control Panel is the blue "Wash" switch. There are two alternative
wash formats.
i.) Belt Wash Only
If the blue "Wash" Switch is pressed while the conveyor is
running, the water solenoid valve and the detergent pump will
be activated. The water and detergent will continue to run for a
preset period of time. At the conclusion of that time period, the
water wash solenoid and the detergent pump will shut off and
the conveyor will continue to run.
ii.) Belt Wash and Automatic Flush
If the blue "Wash" Switch is pressed while the conveyor is
running, the flush solenoid will be energized and the detergent
pump will be activated. The flush and detergent pump will
continue to run for a set period of time. At the conclusion of that
time period, the flush solenoid will turn off and the water wash
solenoid will be energized. The detergent pump will remain on.
When the wash timer runs out, the wash solenoid valve and
detergent pump will shut off and the conveyor will continue to
run.
2. Visual Indicators
There are four (4) indicators located in the center of the Conveyor
Control Panel. These illuminate to indicate that various conditions and/
or operations are occurring. Your specific conveyor may not be equipped
with all of these features.
a. Conveyor ON Indicator
A light will come on whenever the conveyor is on. The words
"CONVEYOR ON" and "TRANSPORTADOR PRENDIDO" will also be
illuminated. (See Fig. 4.2)
