Page 10: General Installation Guidelines
GE-BIN4 INSTALLATION General installation guidelines GE Controller It is recommended to install the unit in a hallway to limit the GE controller exposure to noxious gases. In order to avoid condensation problems inside the controller, it is recommended to install the GE controller on an inside wall. If it is not possible, use spacers to have an air gap between the wall and the GE controller. -
Page 11: Mounting
GE-BIN4 INSTALLATION Mounting The enclosure must be mounted in a location that will allow the cover to be completely opened. Fasten the four brackets to the four mounting holes on the back of the enclosure using the four screws provided with the brackets. -
Page 12: Connection Procedure
GE-BIN4 INSTALLATION Connection procedure Detailed wiring diagrams Typical Auger Signal Wiring Auger signal sensors (ex.: CSD-1 Current Switch Detector) should be mounted inside the controller enclosure with the auger power wire running through the sensor loop. If a single sensor monitors multiple auger circuit, run the wires from all auger groups the same direction through the sensor loop. -
Page 13: Typical Power Backup Wiring
GE-BIN4 INSTALLATION Typical Power Backup Wiring A backup relay (DPDT) connects to the power source 1 in normal operation but will switch to the power source 2 if source 1 is disabled. The backup relay should be selected to ensure it is able to support the required power load. -
Page 14: Typical Alarm Connection Wiring
GE-BIN4 INSTALLATION Typical alarm connection wiring The GE controller provides a normally open and normally closed dry contact to set off an alarm if the auger runs too long or if a bin weight goes below a set limit condition occurs. -
Page 15: Powering Up Procedure
Adjust the Line Voltage Selection Switch This switch is located on the bottom electronic board and adapts the GE-BIN4 to 115 VAC or 230 VAC line voltage. Set the line voltage switch (115VAC/230VAC) inside the GE-BIN4 to the correct value before powering up the GE-BIN4 control. -

Page 23: System Overview
GE-BIN4 USER’S GUIDE System overview The GE-BIN4 can be used to monitor up to 4 GE-FBT (Feed Bin Transmitter) bin measuring modules. Each bin will be monitored for consumption, fills, auger run time and weight. The controller will automatically detect when the bin is filled and use the auger to measure consumption, even when the bin is being filled. -
