  • Page 7: Chapter 2 Application

    2. Application In a swine application, the IR Plus Feed Sensor is used in conjunction with a Smart-Flex as the primary control for a Flex-Flo feed line. It uses “INFRARED” technology to detect the presence of all types of mash and pellet feeds. It is designed to be used in place of the proximity switch in a Smart-Flex control. The sensor is installed underneath a Smart-Flex control unit between the powerhead drop (funnel) and the drop tube at the end of a Flex-Flo feed system as shown in Figure...

  • Page 8: Chapter 3 Basic Operation

    3. Basic Operation Basic Operation for Swine The IR Plus Feed Sensor is connected to a Smart-Flex control unit and will immediately shut the Flex-Flo auger system OFF when feed is full. When the feed falls away from the IR Plus Feed Sensor, it will count down a pre-determined “Delay Time”...

  • Page 9: Chapter 4 Delay Time

    4. Delay Time The “Delay Time” is adjustable inside the IR Plus Feed Sensor enclosure using a small pin jumper. The “Delay Time” can be adjusted to 0 seconds or 30 seconds or 60 seconds or 90 seconds, depending on the choice of the user. The factory default setting is 60 seconds. Place the pin jumper over the pins next to the desired “Delay Time”.

  • Page 10: Chapter 5 Indicator Led Lights

    5. Indicator LED Lights The IR Plus Feed Sensor is equipped with three (3) LED indicator lights on the PC board inside the enclosure and also on the cover. These LED lights help to diagnose the condition of the IR Plus Feed Sensor.
  • Page 11 5. Indicator LED Lights The middle green LED indicates the state of the Flex-Flo auger. When the auger is running, the green LED will be illuminated. When the auger is about to run, during the “Delay Time” period, the green LED will be flashing.
  • Page 12 5. Indicator LED Lights The bottom amber LED indicates when feed is detected by the sensor. When feed is detected, the feed level is full and the amber LED will be illuminated. Once the feed level falls below the sensor, the amber LED will be OFF.
