Level Sensor Setup
Level 1 and 2
There are two level controls typically used with the D-Series Units. The Level 1 sensor can be used inside the tank of
the unit to trigger an auto-fill device (see hopper feeder below), or an alarm state. The Level 2 sensor is used for pot
fill mode (see Pot Fill Mode - Section 5). The delay for these sensors to activate can be set in this screen.
Hopper Feeder - Low Level Detection
The Hopper Feeder option is used to refill the hot melt control’s tank with fresh adhesive when the tank level drops
below the set level sensor. This eliminates the need for the operator to manually open the tank lid and add adhesive
to the tank.
The internal low level sensor is mounted in the hot melt tank lid so that when the adhesive drops below the sensor, a
feeder valve is energized to feed glue into the tank to be melted. This feature has a safety door switch that will
disable the feeder if the tank door is opened. The door switch, internal level sensor and feeder valve need to be
connected to the CPU board, to operate properly.
The low level sensor plugs into J15 on the CPU board. The Level 1 sensor needs to be enabled in the software. If the
Hopper Feeder and it’s components are connected as described above, the valve will energize when the door switch
is closed and the sensor calls for glue.
Door Switch
The tank lid door switch will be wired to J14 on the CPU. The switch must be in the closed position for the feeder
valve to energize and add adhesive to the tank. When the tank lid is opened, the feeder valve will turn off.
Feeder Valve Operation
The feeder valve is a ded24VDC @ 0.5A output that will energize when the internal low level sensor calls for
glue and the door switch is closed. This is J17 on the CPU board; pin 1 is +24V, pin 2 is ground.
