   The Hi-Tech compactor control system consists of an approximately 7" x 6" microprocessor based control card (Model # DR150), a DRX50 wiring interface card, a motor starter and a control power transformer on a sub-plate in a NEMA 3R electrical enclosure. The DR150 control card replaces the standard relay panel and performs the necessary control of the hydraulic cylinder according to a factory programmed operation's logic.

  The DR150 control card accepts input signals through the DRX50 wiring interface card from panel pushbuttons, selector switches and card mounted controls such as multi-cycle rotary selector switch (SW3), mode selection switches (SW1 & SW2), and motor current sensor. The card performs logic according to an internal program, and controls the necessary output signals such as motor starter, solenoid(s), and light(s) to control a commercial hydraulic trash compactor. The compactor sizes ranging from 3 HP unit to 20 HP unit, all having a single stage pump and a standard cylinder.
