Testing And Adjusting The Floor Pressure Sensor - Simuline Cycraft Installation & User Manual

5.11.2 TESTING AND ADJUSTING THE FLOOR PRESSURE SENSOR

NEVER go under the cabin to install or service the floor pressure sensor
system when the main power is ON. Serious injury can result if the system
malfunctions. If it is necessary to work under the cabin, turn the power off
and support the cabin by a strong structure if it is necessary to raise it.
1) Verify that the two green floor sensor LED's on each side of the MSCU front side
cover (see figure) is turned On when nothing is on top of the floor plates. If the
green LED is OFF, the floor sensor system must be adjusted.
2) Verify that stepping on different parts of the floor sensor lightly turns the Green
LED off. If the LED does not turn off, the floor sensor system must be adjusted
(note that a 20kg weight on any part of the floor sensor must activate the sensor).
3) If any of the above tests do not pass, it is possible that the springs or sensors have
been damaged or slightly bent out of shape during transport and installation. To
adjust the floor sensor carry out the following steps on the floor plate section(s)
that do not operate properly:
A. Each floor plate has 4 sets of springs and switches under it. Lift the plate off
to expose them.
B. With the plate lifted, the Green floor sensor LED must be ON. If not, this
indicates a defective sensor switch or wiring. Refer to the service manual for
instructions on how to replace the floor sensor switch.
C. Press each sensor lightly and verify that it clicks when pressed within its stroke.
Verify operation of the Green LED.

D. The suspected switch's sensitivity can be increased or decreased by slightly b
ending the sensor contact lever up or down (see figure below). Do not bend
more than 1 or 2 millimeters.
