Overview: The GrowerSELECT HS589 Control Unit Switch Assembly is designed as replacement switch assembly for HS593 control unit. It can also be used as direct replacement for other OEM control unit applications. The HS589 is designed for use with a flexible auger feed system where control of an auger drive motor is required. Power to the auger drive motor is done through feed pressure being applied to a diaphragm coupled to an electrical switch internal to the control unit housing. This switch is used to control the auger drive motor by turning off the power when feed is present and turning on the power when feed has been removed from the control unit housing. The sensitivity of the electrical switch is not adjustable. MAXIMUM LOAD RATING: 1 ½ HP @ 230VAC A red indicator light on the side of the switch housing will illuminate when the diaphragm has been pressed (MOTOR OFF) and the switch has been activated. The ON/OFF switch is used to enable or disable the Control Unit. DO NOT USE THIS SWITCH AS DISCONNECTING MEANS FOR SERVICING.
