There are 3 gearmotors in the
Revolution Technology. Figure
17 shows the location of the 3
motors and the Relay that is used
in this design. To trouble shoot
any of the Auger Motors it is
important to understand the
relationship to the Relay they
have. Figure 18 explains the
wires that are connected to the
Relay.
Figure 18
The Small and Main Hopper Auger Motors are wired through the Relay. They are
connected to the “Normally Closed” circuit in the Relay. The Relay is wired to the Purple
Wire that energizes the Revolution Pot Gearmotor. Any time the Drum is rotating will
power the Relay and “Opens” the circuit to both Auger Motors. Any time the Drum gets
jammed will keep the Relay energized and prevents the Auger Motors from running.
Small Hopper Auger Motor
This Auger Motor only runs at certain times. This should be kept in mind when trying to
observe if the unit runs or not.
1 – It runs continuously for 3 minutes during ignition. The Auger in the Small Hopper
starts after the Drum rotates after the unit has been turned on.
2 – After 3 minutes it is OFF for the next 6 minutes and then resumes trickling in pellets
for the next 9 minutes.
3 – The small Hopper feeds pellets for 30 seconds right before the 2–Hour Cleaning
Cycle runs and the Drum rotates 90 Degrees.
