Hello All!!!!
Perhaps someone could be of a little help here. I'm a tech at a automotive rubber hose manufacturing plant. Recently, it was discovered that the inside of some of our hoses were contaminated. The "Powers That Be" decided we now need to wash the inside of our hoses before shipping and I was tasked to design and build two Hose Washing Units. Initially, things went fine, as the units are pretty much straight forward to operate. Push button #1 and the wash cycle operates on a 2-minute cycle. Button # 2 gives you a 2-minute air dry cycle. Pressing button # 3 provides a 2 minute rinse. And, finally, pressing button #4 sets the final 7-minute air dry cycle. As you have probably guessed, each button is wired to its own timing relay. The problem is this.... I had to come up with a way to prevent some mindless operator from missing a step, or perhaps bushing button #2 before #1. I decided to purchase aa "Smart Relay", as I have heard much about their ease of use. My idea is to have the operator bush ONE button and all cycles would then run AUTOMATICALLY without any further input. Any ideas on how this could be done????
