PRODUCT OVERVIEW The Binswitch Sensor detects level or plug situations for bulk granular solids or liquids in tanks, bins, or silos and can be used as a plug or choke detector in chutes, conveyors and elevator legs. A two color LED shows material present or absent.
INSTALLATION The Binswitch may be mounted horizontally or vertically. 4B offers two mounts, SMP or the BMPG36 (see illustrations below). If the Binswitch must be located in the path of an abrasive material, use in conjunction with the Binswitch Abrasion Shield (BAS). It is important that the Binswitch is not located in the direct flow path of any abrasive material.
STANDARD WIRING DIAGRAM All wiring must be In accordance with local and national electrical codes and should be undertaken by an experienced and qualified electrician. Always use dust/liquid tight flexible metal conduit with approved fittings to protect the sensor cables. Use rigid metal conduit to protect the cables from the sensors to the control unit.
3. Introduce material to the Binswitch. If calibrated correctly, the Binswitch will activate when material has been detected. Machinery shut down will depend on your specific monitoring setup. 4B recommends an instant shutdown when maximum fill level or a plug condition has been detected.
