V. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION WARNING: REMOVE POWER FROM THE UNIT bEFORE INSTALLING, REMOVING, OR MAKING ADjUSTMENTS. GENERAL SAFETY When using electrical equipment, you should always follow basic safety precautions, including the following: • The installation and wiring of this product must comply with all national, federal, state, municipal, and local codes that apply. • Properly ground the enclosure to an adequate earth ground. -
Page 12: Set Sensor Address
• If wiring multiple Yo-Yo units to the same remote display. Wire units to each other, then add the remote display at the end of the line. Do not wire individually or in the middle. (See Figure 1.) Figure 1. Wiring for Multiple Unit-To-Remote Display • The recommended communication cable is Belden #9842 (2-pair, AWG 24) or equivalent. Using this cable will allow a network distance up to 4000 ft (1219 m). The communications wiring, which consists of communication and DC Power to remote display, is polarity sensitive. - Page 13 Figure 2. Board Layout - Sensor Address Location Figure 3. Board Layout INHIbIT FEATURE (A) Shorting these terminals or closing the circuit inhibits the sensor from taking a measure; regardless of what method the measurement is requested. The inhibit feature should be used to ensure the weight does not get buried by material during the filling process of the vessel. Multiple ways to use this contact closure setting;...

Page 17: To Program A Sensor
TO PROGRAM A SENSOR 1. Press left/right arrow keys in Operating Mode section of the key pad to move to the desired sensor address. Holding a key down will scroll through the sensors quickly. Note: One sensor must have an address of 01 or unit will not communicate with the system. - Page 18 TAKING A MEASUREMENT Multiple methods can be used to take a measurement with the Yo-Yo, automatically or manually. The Yo-Yo level sensor also has the ability to offer a variety of remote measurement options. USING THE REMOTE DISPLAY (IMMEDIATE MEASURE) The Remote Display is capable of monitoring up to 99 sensors.

USING THE ORb 1. Device should be wired to the ORB; see Electrical Section. 2. Login to the ORB normally. NOTE: User permissions have to be set to allow for measurements; see ORB Installation & Operator Manual for detail to change individual permissions. - Page 20 Distance Units Feet (Default is one decimal place.) Meters (Default is two decimal places.) Engineering Units (Default is no decimal places.) Pounds Kilograms Gallons Liters TANK PARAMETERS This menu defines the tank dimensions. All distances except Cone Height are taken from the home position of the sensor. The firmware allows the user to enter only the following possibilities: Tank Height > = Maximum Move Distance > = Tank Empty Distance Tank Empty Distance >...
- Page 21 MAXMOVE DIST REACHED. It will also display the distance traveled. The default value of this parameter is 75 ft. (22.86 m) and the range is from the Tank Empty Distance to 199.9 ft. (60.93 m). The Maximum Move Distance value must be less than or equal to the Tank Height value.
- Page 22 4-20 mA MODE This parameter is selected independent of the Material Mode or Air Mode. Typically, when the display is programmed for Material Mode, 20 mA will also represent a full tank. Inversely, when displaying in Air Mode, 20 mA will be set to represent an empty tank.

VII. MAINTENANCE PREVENTIVE Bindicator does not provide a preventative maintenance schedule for the Yo-Yo Inventory Management System. The interval for preventative maintenance depends on the application of the sensor and how often it is cycled. However, the following checks are recommended. -
Page 24: Troubleshooting
VIII. TROUBLESHOOTING When troubleshooting the Yo-Yo Inventory Management System, confirm that all power and communications wiring between the sensor and the remote display or PC are correct. If troubleshooting the sensor outdoors, shield the opto-reader from direct sunlight whenever the cover is removed. Always check the display status message on the remote display. - Page 25 STATUS MESSAGE DESCRIPTION SENSOR IS NORMAL Sensor is normal. Sensor is starting measurement. A command has been sent to the sensor to start a STARTING MEASURE measurement and the sensor is ensuring that the weight is in the home posiiton.
