  • Page 3: Description

    A. General Description The LS6000 is a point level switch that detects the presence or absence of material in a bin, silo, tank or other container. The basic unit is made up of a solid stainless steel probe attached to an explosion proof housing.

  • Page 4: Theory Of Operation/Ordering Information

    Please advise the factory or your local distributor of any damage. Before installing the unit, a simple operational check can be performed. On the bench, hook up the appropriate power to L1 and L2. The operating voltage of the LS6000 is marked on the power supply board.

  • Page 5: Removing Electronics

    On dry product that flows like water (starch), when using the LS6000 to stop the flow by means of a butterfly valve or knifegate, make sure the probe is long enough to allow time to close these slow moving valves.
