A. Angled-mounting, at top of silo, for full-silo (overfill) detection.
Maximum L=23.62 in. (600 mm)
B. Vertical-mounting for full-silo (overfill) detection, with pendulum shaft or
rope-extension. Check the maximum load of the level switch
C. Horizontal-mounting, near top of silo, for full-silo (overfill) detection.
Maximum L=11.8 in. (300 mm)
D. Horizontal-mounting, near bottom of silo, for control (on demand)
detection. Maximum L=5.9 in. (150 mm)
E. Angled-mounting, at bottom of silo, for empty-silo (filling demand)
detection. Maximum L=11.8 in. (300 mm)
F. A protective shield is recommended depending on the load
The boot-shaped vane (paddle) is recommended for horizontal mountings
because it aligns to the movement of the solids material. See
and
to check that the paddle meets the application limits.
