2-8 Overview
Level Sensor Modules
Lance Mounted Level Sensor Function
When the powder source switch is set to Hopper , the lance is lowered down into the
powder in the hopper to the position determined by the hopper proximity switch on the
lift cylinder. The hopper level sensor is positioned to maintain the desired level of powder
in the hopper, turning on and off the virgin transfer pump as the powder level rises and
falls. If the level sensor detects a low powder condition for greater than 3 minutes (field
adjustable), the low powder alarm is turned on.
When the powder source switch is set to
Box , the lance is lowered until the box level
sensor contacts the powder. When the powder level falls below the level sensor, the
lance is lowered further into the box. The box proximity sensor on the lift cylinder
prevents the lance from crashing into the bottom of the box.
See Figure 2-6. To adjust the position of each level sensor for the application, loosen the
clamp screw (4) with a hex key.
