Feed Sensor - Position Calibration
The feed sensor must be positioned deep enough in the sensor port to detect feed only, not the metal around the port.
When the hopper is empty, the sensor light should be off as it is not detecting any feed.
If it is on, the sensor is not deep enough in the port and it is detecting the metal.
Calibration moves the sensor into the port just past the point when the sensor light turns off.
To calibrate the sensor position, adjust the outer nut to set the correct depth, then tighten the inner nut to secure the sensor in place.
Orient the sensor so the cable connector faces the direction of the cable. Maintain this orientation throughout the calibration process.
Find the correct sensor position by checking the orange sensor light.
A. When checking the sensor light, ensure the outer nut is flat against the sensor bracket.
B. Hold the sensor to prevent it from turning when adjusting the nut position.Turn the outer nut accordingly:
If the sensor light is on
The sensor is not deep enough and is detecting the metal around the sensor port.
▶️ Back the outer nut out to move the sensor deeper until the sensor light turns off.If the sensor light is off
The sensor is already too deep.
▶️ Back the outer nut out until the sensor light turns on.
▶️ Reverse direction and turn the outer nut in to move the sensor deeper until the sensor light turns off.
Check that the cable connector still faces the direction of the cable. The sensor may have turned during adjustment.
Back out the outer nut one additional full turn to move the sensor deeper into the sensor port.
Tighten the inner nut by hand until it is snug against the sensor bracket.
Tighten the outer nut firmly against the sensor bracket by hand or with pliers.
Secure the feed sensor cable and the rotary cable together using cable ties.
