ILE-61 Sensing Head: Introduction The Milltronics ILE-61 Sensing Head is used for continuous in-line weighing of powdered or granular dry bulk solid materials. The material is directed toward the sensing plate. The horizontal impact force of the material, deflecting the sensing plate, displaces the core of the sensing head LVDT (linear variable differential transformer).

Run additional conductors: - from SF500 terminal 12 to conditioner terminal block marked “Integrator +EXC” - from SF500 terminal 13 to conditioner terminal block marked “Integrator –EXC” For further connection information on specific LVDTs, consult Milltronics. ♦ Note: Shields are common, but not grounded to chassis. Run cable shields through SHLD terminals and ground at Integrator only.
Zero and Span calibration, Span Adjust, and Factoring (if required) should be performed. sensing plate changes < 0.01 Vac test weight 7ML19981CX01 ILE-61 Sensing Head – INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 11...
When the calibration is complete, return the calibration bracket to the storage position. string fixing bolt calibration arm test weight Note: Accurate calibration is not assured until material tests and a Span Adjust are performed. Page 12 ILE-61 Sensing Head – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 7ML19981CX01...
* Material buildup (if any) in the impact area of the sensing plate should be removed. Spare Parts Milltronics recommends a spare inner and outer gasket, sensing plate, and spare damping fluid be kept on hand. Contact Milltronics or your distributor for spare parts ordering information.

Perform the LVDT output Zero procedure. Refer to Calibration. Perform an integrator Zero and Span calibration. Refer to the integrator manual, Calibration. Perform a Span Adjust and Factoring as required. Refer to the integrator manual, Calibration. 7ML19981CX01 ILE-61 Sensing Head – INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 15...
Troubleshooting Every Millltronics ILE-61 Sensing Head is subjected to extensive quality assurance procedures to ensure the highest degree of quality, reliability, and performance is achieved. The following listing indicates the probable cause, and proper course of action to be taken should the specified fault symptom occur.
Stand alone linearizing devices are also available for this purpose. Note: Electronic linearization should not be used to correct non-linear test weight results. 7ML19981CX01 ILE-61 Sensing Head – INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 17...
