A. Full-silo detection using extended fork length option
B. Empty-silo detection using extended fork length option
C. Sliding sleeve option
D. Bulk solids slide downwards more easily when the device is mounted at
an angle (recommended)
E. Steel protection shield
F. Installation in the conical part is only suitable for solids material
(powder) that will not build-up on the forks
G. Incorrect installation - the fork orientation is not allowing solids material
to pass between the forks. Check the orientation mark on the hexagon is
either facing upwards or downwards
H. Incorrect installation - the socket is too long and allows the solids
material to easily accumulate inside it. The forks must protrude into the
silo sufficiently to correctly detect the level
