b. Belt Wash ON Indicator
A light will come on whenever the conveyor belt wash is on. The
words "BELT WASH ON" and "LAVADO DE BANDA" will also be
illuminated. (See Fig. 4.3)
c. Detergent Low Indicator (optional)
A light will come on whenever the detergent level is low. The
words "DETERGENT LOW" and "POCO DETERGENTE" will also be
illuminated. The light will automatically be extinguished when the
detergent tank is refilled. The detergent pump will be inoperative
while the detergent level is low. (See Fig. 4.4)
d. Conveyor Flush ON Indicator (optional)
A light will come on during the Conveyor Flush Cycle. The words
"FLUSH CYCLE ON" and "CICLO DE ENJUAGAR" will also be
illuminated.
3. Internal Controls
a. Wash Duration
The duration of the wash is controlled by a potentiometer (marked
"WASH") located inside the control panel. Turning the knob
clockwise increases the duration of the wash cycle. The wash
duration should be set after the conveyor has been in use and a
comfortable operating speed has been determined. The wash should
last long enough for the conveyor belt to make two (2) complete
passes through the wash compartment. The wash duration should
be readjusted if the belt speed is changed significantly.
b. Flush Duration
The duration of the flush is controlled by a potentiometer (marked
"FLUSH") located inside the control panel. Turning the knob

clockwise increases the duration of the flush cycle. The flush
duration should be set after the conveyor has been in use and a
comfortable operating speed has been determined. The flush should
last long enough for the conveyor belt to make one (1) complete pass
through the wash compartment; some applications may require two
complete passes for satisfactory cleaning depending on amount of
food soil and frequency of wash/flush use. The flush duration should
be readjusted if the belt speed changes significantly.
B. End Conveyor Control Panel
1. Speed Control
There is a knob located on the exterior of the panel that controls the belt
speed. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the speed of the conveyor
belt. Turn the knob counterclockwise to reduce the speed of the conveyor
belt.
2. Conveyor Wash Switch
This switch is used to operate the wash cycle manually.
3. Conveyor Stop Switch
There are two (2) switches mounted on the outside of the Conveyor
Control Panel. The red switch to the left is the "Stop" switch. Pressing
the "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.
4. Conveyor Start Switch
The green switch mounted to the right of the Conveyor Control Panel
is the "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. [Exception: Conveyors equipped with
a momentary switch. If you press the momentary switch while the
conveyor is already running, the conveyor will continue to run while
the switch is depressed. The conveyor will turn off when the switch is
released.]
C. Remote Controls (Optional)
1. Speed Control
The conveyor speed control knob may be located remote to the control
panel. Sometimes it is located behind a hinged door. There is only one
(1) speed control knob per conveyor.
2. Conveyor Stop Switch
The red, conveyor Stop switch may be located remote to the control
panel. There may be more than one (1) Stop switch. Pressing any one
of the Stop switches will cause the conveyor to stop immediately. Some
conveyors are equipped with a large, red, mushroom-shaped Stop
switch that is easier for users to operate.
