    WARNING Always lockout and tagout machinery prior to installation PRODUCT OVERVIEW The Binswitch Elite 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. The sensor is fully encapsulated in a 30 mm diameter nylon body that is corrosion and abrasion resistant, dust-tight and waterproof.
  • Page 7: Installation

    INSTALLATION The Binswitch Elite may be mounted horizontally or vertically. 4B offers two mounts, SMP or the BMPG36 (see illustrations below). The end of the sensor must be at least one inch from the bin wall or other metalwork. It is important that the Binswitch is not located in the direct flow path of any abrasive material. However, if the Binswitch must be located in the path of an abrasive material, use in conjunction with the BAS (Binswitch Abrasion Shield).
  • Page 8: Wiring Diagrams

    WIRING DIAGRAMS 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. Conduit systems can channel water due to ingress and condensation directly to sensors and sensor connections which over time will adversely affect the performance of the system.

    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. WARNING If the system does not immediately shutdown as expected or alarm as required, then remove the machine from service until the problem has been diagnosed and corrected.
