USING BIN LEVEL SENSORS
Either row of sensor indicators - 1-3 and/or 4-6 can be operated in either shaft sensing mode or bin level sensing mode. To enable Bin Level
sensing, simply insert included magnet in lower molded pocket on side of plastic console case - see Illustration 8 below
.
Peel off
protective paper from the 2-sided tape and press firmly to secure. It is critical that the SOUTH pole side with dashed line faces the console body.
Installation instructions for the bin level sensors (P/N 50226) are included with the Bin Level Sensor Kit - P/N 01544.

INSTALLING SHAFT SENSORS
Locate the following parts
• Shaft sensor cable (black housing) • Magnets •
Cable ties
(Your unit may have factory-installed magnets and/or sensors,
the following illustrations may not apply)
Mount magnet with SOUTH pole (dashed line) facing tip of
sensor. Some installations may require more than one magnet
per shaft. The magnets provided by Micro-Trak are marked with
a dashed line on the SOUTH pole side of the magnet.
See Illustration 5.
INSTALLATION: For proper operation, the magnets must be
evenly spaced around the shaft. The magnets must be at least 1”
apart. See Illustration 6.
NOTE: magnets may be attached with a cable tie or adhered
with epoxy or other high quality adhesive. When using
adhesive, thoroughly clean the area of dirt and oil. Use
of cable ties or other mechanical attachment is highly
recommended.
Mount the shaft sensor directly over the path of the rotating
magnets. For the shaft sensor to operate properly, the spacing
between the magnets and the tip of the sensor must always
remain constant. Before permanently mounting any parts, verify
that the mouting location will meet the specs. See Illustration 7
.
Note that magnets can be closer than 1” apart only if another
magnet with opposite polarity is mounted between each of the
south-faced magnets.
NOTE: Observe magnet polarities.
