Universal Feed Sensor Operating Instructions and Wiring Diagrams
Operating Instructions
Program Mode (To adjust Time Delay)
•
Press “Min” and “Hr” button at same time
•
Red LED will turn ON and Time Delay is reset to 0
•
Press and Release “Min” button to add 1 minute to time delay (Red LED will quick flash)
•
Press and Hold “Hr” button to add 1 hour to time delay (Red LED will slow flash)
•
To Exit Program Mode, wait 5 seconds
•
Red LED will shut off and Sensor is in the Normal Operating Condition
Program Mode (To adjust Sensitivity)
•
Press and Hold “Min” and “Hr” button at same time, until Red LED begins to flash
•
Red LED will flash Sensitivity Setting from 1 to 6, with 6 being the most sensitive
•
Touch the sensor end to change sensitivity, setting 6 will roll over to setting 1
•
Wait 30 seconds to exit Program Mode
•
Red, Yellow and Green LEDs will cycle for another 30 seconds. Place Sensor back in grommet
while LEDs are cycling. If LEDs stop cycling before sensor is back in grommet, repeat
Sensitivity programming.
•
NOTE: Grain should not be in front of sensor when placed back in grommet.
When Product is Detected,
•
N.C. contacts - open
•
N.O. contacts - close
•
Yellow LED comes ON and stays ON until Product is Removed
When Product is Removed,
•
Time Delay begins (On power up, 1st Time Delay is always 10 seconds)
•
Green LED flashes every second until Time Delay expires
When Time Delay expires,
•
N.C. contacts - close
•
N.O. contacts - open
•
Green LED stops flashing and remains on until Product is Detected
