A. A low current switch such as a paddle switch
can replace the factory-installed Run jumper
"J1."
The "Run Contact" connects to
terminals 6 and 7. The contact must be able
to switch 5VDC and 2mA. The control will
then run only when the contact is closed.
Refer to Section A of the OFF/ON CONTROL
GUIDE.
B. Feeder Bowl/Hopper Interlock allows the
Hopper control to operate only when the Bowl
is running and the paddle switch contact is
closed. The interlock input on terminals 11
and 12 of TB2 is controlled by the interlock
output of a "Parts Sensing Feeder Bowl
Control" such as an FC-90 Plus

Connect TB2 terminals 11 and 12 of this
control to the "Parts Sensing Control". Refer
to Section B of the OFF/ON CONTROL
GUIDE. Check specific instructions for the
"Parts Sensing Control" wiring.
Note: Only use the Bowl/Hopper Interlock with
a FC-90 and FC-40 Series control. Two FC-
40 Series controls will not interlock to each
other since neither one has an interlock
output.
