3.8 Hopper Level sensors
Depending on the drill configuration, for each channel in use there can be either,
(i) a single low-level sensor (sensor ‘1’).
(ii) Both a low-level sensor and an upper “Pre-Level” level sensor
(sensor ‘2’). The additional “pre-level” sensor is positioned
higher up in the hopper to provide the operator a more
advanced warning.
Mount the sensor(s) [48] either through the tank wall (requires
a 27mm hole) or inside the tank at the appropriate height(s). If
the sensor is mounted inside the tank, the height can if
necessary, be adjusted e.g. to suit different products.
Route the cable(s) back to connector ‘E’ (for sensor ‘1’) and connector ‘D’ (for sensor ‘2’) of the Expansion Harness
S/TC/1015540-01.
For multi-channel systems where level sensors are installed for each channel (product), all sensors (8 in total for a 4-
channel system), then these are connected to their respective Expansion Harness S/TC/1015540-01 for MCM-2, MCM-3,
and MCM-4.
