Technical Information PCB Relay For UCV Component Description The PCB relay for the snorkel is a micro-processor based control. Simply stated, the control uses a CPU (central processing unit) to detect Switch status and to apply the appropriate polarity (negative or positive) To the DC motor to run the snorkel in the down or up position respectively.

Component Description Relay PC The following components are mounted on the relay board; 5 Relays 1 Step-down Transformer 4 Pin Connectors. 1 External Wire Connector There is a step-down transformer on the PCB that receives 120 V.A.C. and steps down to 12 V.A.C.
Snorkel Up/ Down button Blower Controls Control PCB The Control board sends commands to the relay board to operate according to the user's selection. Page 18...
D.C. Motor The motor is energized by 24 V.D.C. from the relay board. The Volatge is rectified by a series of Zenner diode on the relay board. Page 19...
Primary (120 V.A.C.) Secondary (24 V.D.C.) Motor Step-down Transformer The motor step-down transformer steps down 120 V.A.C. to 24 V.A.C. The 24 V.A.C. are rectified to 24 V.D.C. to run the motor. Page 20...
Up Limit Switch Interference Switch Up Limit Switch The Up Limit Switch is a (S.P.S.T.) normally open switch. When the snorkel reaches the upper position, the switch closes a circuit which stops the motor. Page 21...
Down limit switch Down Limit Switch The Down Limit Switch is a (S.P.S.T.) nomrally open switch. When the snorkel reaches the lowest position, this switch closes a circuit which stops the motor. Page 22...
Interference Switch Interference Switch The Interference Switch is a (S.P.S.T.) normally closed switch. If an obstruction interferes with the downward motion of the snorkel, the switch opens a circuit that stops the motor. Page 23...
Trouble Shooting Troubleshooting Testing components: The testing of the following components can be done at the relay board pin connectors. To test up limit switch: 1) Turn off electrical power to the unit. 2) Set the ohmmeter to the rx1 scale. 3) Touch the test leads to the common and the ul terminals on the J4 Pin connector of the relay board.
