ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
After installation:
• During installation, it is possible that some pieces of metal around the detector's
viewing hole were not completely removed. When conveying cotton for the first
time after installation, check the detectors to make sure no cotton is tagging and
obscuring the view of the detector. If it is, file the edge around the opening again
check detectors daily until it is no longer a problem.
For routine operation:
• Keep the door of the control cabinet closed to keep the interior free of dust.
• If there is insufficient air behind the gin stands, periodically check to see if there is
any trash buildup obscuring the view of the detectors located there.
At the end of the season:
• Clean and test all detectors in each zone (see 3.1).
• Make sure each lens is clear of lint, dirt, or other trash.
• Test each zone and make sure the LED on each detector turns red. If a detector does
not respond to testing, replace it with a new one.
In case of fire:
• Make sure the detectors in the affected zone are clean and check that lenses were not
blackened by a flame.
