WARNING!
Only qualified electrician personnel familiar with the
construction and operation of this equipment and the
hazards involved should install and/or service this

DESCRIPTION
The Hired Hand Sens-O-Matic II™ is an electronic
feed hopper switch which turns the feed auger On or
OFF depending on the hopper feed level. A
NEW
FEATURE
recently added is the
Push-to-Reset
Circuit Breaker
. The circuit breaker is externally
accessible and has replaced the internal glass tube
fuse which required opening the enclosure. The Sens-
O-Matic™ is a direct retrofit for the standard Paddle
Switch currently used in the poultry industry. If the
feed fill system and paddle-type Hopper Switch is
controlled by 240vac, a 240vac Sens-O-Matic™ is
required. If the feed fill system and paddle-type
Hopper Switch is controlled by 120vac, a 120vac
Sens-O-Matic™ is required. Installation of the Sens-
O-Matic™ is quick and simple with only three wire
connections as shown in the wiring diagram provided
on Page 2. Approximately 3 feet of electrical cord and
a slide-in mounting tab bracket are supplied
preattached to the Sens-O-Matic™. No assembly is
required. The Sens-O-Matic™ is preset for an
approximate 30 second time-delay from an Off state to
an activated On state when nothing is sensed near the
sensing area.
When the kit is received, check for shipping damage.
Contact Hired-Hand Customer Support for information
regarding the universal mounting bracket and external
power supply options if these options are required.
