Blocked Chute Applications
Parameter Instruction
1. Set App Type
The system comes pre-set to Blocked Chute. To configure re-select the App
Type. You will be prompted to 'Re-Configure', Select 'Yes'.
2. Set Mode
Advanced or Standard. Advanced is recommended for Blocked Chute
applications.
3. Set ChuteWidth
You will be prompted to enter the width of the chute (this should also be the
distance between each Transducer face). An accurate value is critical to
system performance.
4. Set Back Chute Cutoff
The default Back Chute Cutoff Distance is +350mm (13.7") of the ChuteWidth
value. This parameter allows for additional refections to be accepted as a
good reading by the system.
6. Set Switch Point%
Set the Sensor Value% the unit must pass before triggering Relay 1. The
Default value is acceptable for most applications. It can be increased to
provide stability in difficult applications.
7. Set Relay Delay Timer Set the On and Off Delay timers for Relay 1.
