SAFETY SAFETY SUMMARY Review the following safety precautions to avoid injury and prevent damage to the equipment. The product should be installed, commissioned, and maintained by qualified and authorized personnel only. Install according to installation instructions and comply with all national and local codes. Use electrical wire that is sized and rated for the maximum voltage and current of the application.
INTRODUCTION 1.0 INTRODUCTION The BinMaster MAXIMA+ is a rotating paddle style level sensor that provides reliable point level detection for bulk solids, including powder, pellet, and granular materials. The unit's status is con- tinually monitored, and its fail-safe circuitry will fail to a "safe" condition in the event of a unit fail- ure or power failure.
MOUNTING PLATES Mounting plates are necessary when a completely assembled unit is to be mounted on the bin wall from the outside. A 5-1/2” hole is cut in the bin. Six bolt holes are drilled around the hole to match the mounting plate. The plate, with the unit attached, is then bolted in place. All mount- ing plates are available in carbon and stainless steel.
Figure 7 DC MAXIMA+ Wiring DC MAXIMA+ units are available in either a 24 VDC or 12 VDC model. 1. Confirm that the DC MAXIMA+ unit is rated for ON ON the DC voltage that is used. 2. Refer the drawing to the right for correct terminal location.
3.3 Fail-Safe Low Fail-Safe Low means that the relay will be de-energized when the paddle is rotating (uncov- ered) and will energize when the paddle is covered. In this mode, a fault condition or a power failure will cause the relay contacts to indicate that the paddle is uncovered whether it is or not.
In NRM mode, the Status Relay will have a connection between the C and the NO termi- nal. In a Fault condition there will be a connection between the C and NC terminals when using the standard SPDT relay. The solid state relays are SPST, they do not use the NC terminal.
5.0 EXTERNAL LED MAXIMA+ models include an external view LED. This LED provides an externally visible status indication for the MAXIMA+. When this LED is flashing, it indicates a normal Un- covered condition. When this LED is ON steady, it indicates a Covered condition. When this LED is OFF, it indicates a power failure or fault condition.
Declaration of Conformity BinMaster declares that all models of the MAXIMA+ level control devices as listed below comply with the following directives and harmonized standards. This product if installed, operated and maintained as described in this manual will provide a safe and reliable point level control device for bulk solid materials.

Mounting Instructions Always mount unit with conduit opening down Conduit Seal When installing this level indicator in environments where it is possible for moisture or moist air to enter the enclosure through the electrical conduit, the conduit opening should be sealed with a duct seal compound or putty appropriate for the purpose.
