3.13.2.4 Bin level sensor
Optional bin level sensors (1) indicate when the
level of product in the bin has decreased to the
level of the sensor. The same sensor senses all
types of products.
The sensor height can be adjusted to set the alarm
point at any desired level.
There also is an adjustment screw on the back of
the sensor that can adjust the sensitivity for
different products
3.13.2.5 Meter box flow sensor
The meter box flow sensor is a capacitive sensor
that senses when the meter box is empty. The
sensor indicates if the bin is completely empty, or
if the product has stopped flowing into the meter
box because of bridging or a leaky lid on the bin.
There also is an adjustment screw on the back of
the sensor that can adjust the sensitivity for
different products
3.13.2.6 Meter shaft speed sensor (ground drive)
The meter shaft speed sensor for ground drive units
is a magnetic proximity sensor (1). The meter shaft
speed sensor is used to sense the speed of the
meter shaft. This information is used to calculate
how much product has been applied and also
indicate that the ground drive system is operating
correctly.
