Good afternoon - I recently discovered that my dust sentry was not working. I remember not too long ago that the bin lid fell off the connector hose (bin was not under the lid at the time). I think there was not enough slack in the sensor lead so when the kid fell it pulled all of the sensor wires out of their connections and I'm not sure where they go.
The components of this mechanism are
1. 24 volt DC power supply which operates off of a 110 input. The output is a black and Black with Grey Stripe set of wires
2. 24 volt strobe light with red and black wires
3. A Banner QS18VP6D proximity sensor with 4 wires (blue, white, brown and black)
All wire connections are done inside a plastic box which the strobe light attaches to. Here is a photo of the connection box
Right now the black wire from the DC power supply is connected to the black from the strobe. The red from the strobe has no connection - but there is a connector on it.
The black with grey stripe from the power supply also has no wire connected but it does have a connector. The remaining wires are from the proximity sensor.
Here is the wiring diagram from the banner web site for this sensor
The color key is
1 - brown
2 - white
3 - blue
4 - black
Problem is I don't know how to read the diagram so if anyone can open there dust sentry connection box and check the wiring or give me a little guidance on the correct connections I would appreciate it. Just a note that my understanding is that a change was made to the sensor at some point. I think they went to an NPN output (mine is a PNP). In the NPN the 1 and 3 wires are reversed.
Thanks
