3.2.4 How to install the Ø18 seed level sensor – code 1403
The capacitive seed level sensor should be installed where it can signal a warning
when the level in the seed tank drops below a predetermined minimum level. The
capacitive sensor can be installed inside the seed tank (Figure 8 - example 1) by
means of a support bracket (not supplied) or mounted directly on the tank body
(Figure 8 - example 2) and secured with a nut and lock nut. The red part of the
capacitive sensor must be in direct contact with the seeds. In this manner, with the
sensor head placed at the minimum seed level, when the sensor is covered by seeds
(ref. <
1
> examples 1 and 2,Figure 8) it emits NO alarm signal, but when the sensor
head is uncovered (ref. <
2
> examples 1 and 2,Figure 8) the system signals a low
seed level warning.
