9) In previous controls, the ram would stop in its present position in the event of a high pressure “Container Full” alarm. The ram will now return to its fully retracted position. This better protects the slide plate from fulling trash. 11) Do not remove power to the controls with the ram fully extended. - Page 4 NOTE: ½” expansion bolts can be used at each leg to anchor the machine with the bolts passing through the shims to prevent future slippage of the shims. If the holes permit larger bolts to be used, proceed with the larger size.
- Page 5 “COMPACTOR FULL” alarm will occur. If necessary, refer to the operation chapter to learn how to adjust this time. If you suspect that the ram is moving in the wrong direction go to the display on the hydraulic power pack. Press the Up Arrow key to go to the manual control page. Using the left and right arrow keys you can Extend and Retract the ram.

“pulled out” to apply power to the controls. (Pull out means twist to release). If this is done properly the display on the front of the operator interface will light up. On power up the unit displays the Model number of the unit – V20. It shows the peak pressure of the ram’s last move. -
Page 7: Alarm Display
A compactor should be serviced about every 15,000 cycles. The oil should be changed, and the photo eyes cleaned, and the alignment checked. The first line of this display shows the number of cycles since the last oil change. This counter is reset by touching the left arrow key. The second line displays the lifetime number of cycles. - Page 8 alarm must clear, and the operator must acknowledge this alarm, “1”, before the compactor will run. Auto Reset This alarm will clear automatically. The second line of the display will identify the nature of the alarm. Auto Reset Check Photo Eye - The photo eye has not seen its reflector for more than 30 minutes.
- Page 9 PASSWORD Setpoint values for the system are protected by a Password Screen. This screen can only be accessed from the START UP screen. Press the 0 and the 7 keys while of the START UP display—AND THEN RELEASE. Nothing will happen until you take your fingers off the keys. The password can be obtained from your Chute Source representative.
- Page 10 The maximum allowable pressure setting is 1600 PSI for high pressure and 1200 for low pressure. The Up Arrow key will take the operator back to Serial Number. The Down Arrow Key will allow him to adjust timer setpoints. Ram Ext is the time in 1/100 of a second that the ram travels forward at the start of compaction. If the time is set too short, the compaction will not be maximized.

The left and right arrow keys will toggle between “AUTO RESET” AND “MUST ACK”. “AUTO RESET” will allow the compactor to run for 30 minutes and then force a 10 minute cool down. Following the cool down, if the photo eye remains blocked, the compactor will be allowed to run for another 30 minutes. This protects the compactor from overheating resulting from a broken or misaligned photo eye. -

Weekly Maintenance Check oil level in the hydraulic reservoir. If necessary, add oil (AW32) Quarterly Maintenance The hydraulic fluid (oil) should be checked for water contamination every three (3) months. This check is carried out as follows: 1. Turn off the Power Unit for several hours before the test procedure. 2. -

OVERLOAD RESET CURRENT SETTING OVERLOAD TEST Check that the current setting on the overload has been properly set for the incoming voltage. Refer to the nameplate on the motor for the proper setting. At 208 volts the setting will be approximately 16 amps while at 480 the setting will be approximately 10 amps. -
Page 14: Chapter 6 - Safety Concerns
CHAPTER 6 - SAFETY CONCERNS The CP1/CP2-C5 compactor is an efficient machine, well designed for the purpose intended. HOWEVER - - - As with any device of this nature, improper practices in its use or inadequate maintenance once in operation can result in injury to personnel and/or damage to the equipment. - Page 15 ANSI Standards (American National Standard Institute) clearly identify the standards of care and performance that the employer must follow, and that the employee should follow. The “stationary compactor” referenced in the following excerpts is typically the “apartment house” compactor - the CP1/CP2 compactors fall into this category.
- Page 16 5. Establish and follow a program of periodic and regular inspections and maintenance. This shall include keeping malfunction reports and records of inspections and maintenance work performed. 6. Protecting the operator at the point of operation, in the case of stationary compactors having a loading height of less than 42”.
- Page 17 shut off the 208/440 volt power in the control cabinet. For this reason, Emergency Stop should only be used as a secondary safety. 10. If the system includes electrical door interlocks that are interlocked with the compactor panel, removing power from the compactor will lock the floor panels. Otherwise, tenants can drop trash down the chute while the trash bins are being serviced.
