8.3 Sensor Pad
8.3a Disassembly - To access the contents of the Sensor Pad, unbolt the mounting
bracket that holds the sensor pad and remove the sensor pad from the back side of the
wash tank. Lift the retainer plate out of the rubber pad and then remove the electrical
components.
8.3b Inspection
– Examine the wires for damage to the insulation. Test each of the
components for proper function. Unplug the spade connectors from the tabs on the
thermo-disc and use an Ohm meter to measure the resistance across the tabs of the
thermo-disc. If this measurement shows more than one ohm of resistance it will keep
the UPM from operating correctly. Individually check each tab connection for continuity
to the mounting flange. Continuity to the flange would indicate a defective thermo-disc
that will need to be replaced. Check the operation of the Thermistor as described in
section 7.5.
8.3c Assembly – Place the components back into the rubber pad and secure them in
place with the retainer plate. It is very important to use heat sink compound on the side
of the thermo-disc and thermistor that will be placed against the surface of the tank to
ensure good heat transfer. Slide the pad assembly back into the mounting bracket and
bolt the bracket to the side of the wash tank.
8.4 Chemical Dispenser (Optional)
A chemical dispenser can be purchased from Power Soak or from a
separate supplier. The dispenser that is purchased from Power Soak will
be mounted under the drain board on the “clean side” of the sink assembly
and contain two pumps, one for the wash tank and one for the sanitize
tank. The wiring harness has connections to supply power and operating
signals to the chemical dispenser pumps. Malfunctions in the chemical
dispenser can lower the operating voltage of the PS225 to levels that are
unacceptable and will cause problems with the operation of the PS225
control system. See the chemical dispenser literature for more information
on the operation and service of the dispenser.
The sensor pad is located on
the back side of the wash tank Sensor pad removed from wash tank.
