3. SELECT A QUALIFIED AND COMPETENT INSTALLER Correct installation of the product is important for safety and performance. If you have not asked 4B to perform the installation of the unit on your behalf, it is critical for the safety of your operation and those who may perform work on your operation that you select a qualified and competent electrical installer to undertake the installation.
20 mm (3/4 inch) thick. For container walls thinner than 20 mm (3/4 inch), the probe can be inserted farther. For high temperature and/or high vibration applications, a remote Auto-Set version is available. Contact 4B for more information.

INSTALLATION A thread locking compound is already applied to the probe fixing stud of the AUTOSET. This will prevent the probe rod from vibrating loose. Once fitted, the compound is fully hardened after 20 minutes. IMPORTANT: If the probe rod is removed from the unit for any reason, a thread locking compound must be applied before the rod is refitted.

WARNING Proper spacing of the power shield is vital for correct operation. For questions regarding proper spacing of the power shield to the vessel wall, contact 4B. NOTE For high temperature and/or high vibration applications, a remote Auto-Set version is available. Contact 4B for more information.
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. AUTOSET will operate on 110V/230V ac 50/60Hz or 24V dc supplies (Um). The unit may be wired in ordinary un-screened cable of any length and need not be separated from other cables.

CAL MODE (AUTO/MAN SWITCH SET TO AUTO) - In this mode, pressing and holding the “Probe Covered / Raise” button (E - Image D) with the probe covered, will cause the unit to measure and display the covered value, and recalibrate the relay operating point if necessary.
SENSOR CALIBRATION The Auto-Set can be calibrated automatically, manually or by a combination of the two methods. Usually, automatic calibration is the simplest method, particularly when the vessel can be filled to cover the probe. Manual calibration is useful when a number of probes in similar applications need to be set. Once the correct calibration has been determined and noted, on one system, the remainder can be set to the same setting.

POWER SHIELD OVERVIEW The Auto-Set detects material by radiating a high frequency (RF) signal from the probe. The advanced electronics of the Auto-Set use this signal to measure the capacitance inside the vessel with respect to ground and thus indicate when material has reached the Auto-Set probe. The power shield creates a barrier and enables the unit to ignore a certain amount of material built up on the probe, helping to prevent false readings.
3. Introduce material to the Auto-Set. If calibrated correctly, the Auto-Set 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.
PARTS & ACCESSORIES STAINLESS STEEL PROBES/WIRE ATSP10 ATSP11 ATSP12 ATSP13 ATWP11 The Auto-Set™ is available with 303 solid stainless steel probes. For applications up to 10 meter 33 feet long (maximum), 303 stainless steel wire is used to extend the probe length.
