1. The unit must be installed before calibration takes place. Connect the Binswitch to power and a

suitable control unit

2. Check that the tip of the Binswitch is not covered or obstructed.

3. Carefully turn the calibration control screw fully counter clockwise to set the sensor sensitivity to zero.

Do not use excessive force, the control has end stops.

4. A magnet is taped to the wire of the sensor. Place the magnet on the magnetic calibration point on

the end of the sensor (see illustration), the red LED will flash on and off.

• If a NORMALLY ENERGIZED sensor is required (with no material

p resent), remove the magnet while the LED is "ON".

• If a NORMALLY DE-ENERGIZED sensor is required (with no

m aterial present), remove the magnet when the LED is "OFF".

5. Wait approximately one minute for the automatic compensation system

to stabilize. Then either fill the vessel until the tip of the Binswitch is covered, or

remove the Binswitch and place the tip of the sensor in a bucket filled with the material to be

monitored and then calibrate the unit as follows:

• NORMALLY ENERGIZED - Slowly turn the sensitivity control screw clockwise until the LED turns

"OFF". To set the sensor sensitivity to the optimum setting, turn the control screw an additional ten

degrees clockwise.

• NORMALLY DE-ENERGIZED - Slowly turn the sensitivity control screw clockwise until the LED

turns "ON". To set the sensor sensitivity to the optimum setting, turn the control screw an additional

ten degrees clockwise.

Turning the sensitivity control screw counter clockwise decreases the sensitivity, turning clockwise

increases the sensitivity.

If the material being monitored creates dust, you may need to re-calibrate the sensor. Dust build up

on the Binswitch will affect the initial calibration. DO NOT remove the Binswitch and clean off the

dust. Always check that the Binswitch detects material after the sensitivity has been adjusted.

1. Check that the unit is correctly installed (see standard wiring diagram).

2. After going through the sensor calibration steps, the red LED should be "ON" if calibrated to be

NORMALLY ENERGIZED or "OFF" if NORMALLY DE-ENERGIZED.

3. Introduce material to the Binswitch. If calibrated correctly, the Binswitch will activate when

material has been detected. Machinery shut down will depend on your specific monitoring setup.

4B recommends an instant shutdown when maximum fill level or a plug condition has been detected.

If the system does not immediately shutdown as expected or alarm as required, then remove the

machine from service until the problem has been diagnosed and corrected.
