4.2. Installing the dump valve sensor

The controller uses a dump valve sensor (A) with a

magnet (B) to determine demand. When the dump

valve is closed, indicating demand, the magnet is

pushed towards the sensor. The presence of the

magnet near the sensor indicates demand and

triggers a new conveying cycle.

When the dump valve is open, indicating that no

material is needed, the magnet is pushed up and

away from the sensor. If the sensor does not

detect the magnet, it does not trigger a new

conveying cycle.

To install the dump valve sensor, insert the appliance plug of the dump valve sensor into

the connector (Figure 3) on the lower side of the controller.
