1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Bin-Master PROCAP I is a point level control used to detect the presence or absence of solids or liq-
uids. The PROCAP I operates on the capacitance principle and incorporates a "Quick Set" feature to sim-
plify calibration. The PROCAP I includes switch selectable Fail-Safe output contacts and "Probe Shield"
technology for ignoring material build up.
Upon installation the PROCAP I is set up with the probe uncovered. The "Quick Set" feature allows simple
setup and calibration of the unit to achieve low, medium, or high sensitivity settings. The PRO CAP I has
an adjustable time delay for monitoring covered or uncovered conditions.
2.0 APPLICATIONS
For applications in pressurized vessels up to 500 PSI, the PROCAP I should be mounted with the 3/4"
or 1 1/4” stainless steel threads. When the PROCAP I is used in liquid applications the stainless steel
threads must be used to insure a proper seal.
Process temperatures for the various probes are:
1. Delrin Sleeved Stainless Steel: 250 Deg. F
2. Teflon Sleeved Stainless Steel: 500 Deg. F
3. Flush Mount (Polyethylene): 180 Deg. F
4. Flush Mount (Teflon): 450 Deg. F
5. Bare Stainless Steel: 250 Deg. F
6. Flexible Extension: 250 Deg. F
The Delrin or Teflon sleeved stainless steel probe should be used when mounting the PROCAP I In a
highly corrosive atmosphere. Confirm that the sleeve material is rated for use in the corrosive nature of the
application. Bare metal Stainless Steel probes are suitable for granular or liquid material that is not electri-
cally conductive. For electrically conductive material, in some applications, a coated (insulated) probe may
need be used for the unit to effectively sense the material. Contact BinMaster if there are any questions
about which probe to use for a specific application.
3.0 INSTALLATION
3.1 Location and Mounting
The probe should be located out of the direct flow of material. The PROCAP I is designed to mount utiliz-
ing either a 1 1/4" NPT coupling or 3/4" NPT coupling. When the PROCAP I is used with the flush mount
probe, the flush mount probe mounts directly to the vessel wall using a 7" diameter bolt circle. Refer to Fig-
ures 1.1 and 1.2 for illustrations on installation, mounting options, and different probe combinations.
3.2 Input Power and Field Wiring
The PROCAP I can be powered from either an AC or a DC power source with a voltage range from 24 up
to 240 volts. The power source can be either grounded or ungrounded. If powered from a grounded
source the grounded circuit conductor should be connected to the N terminal. In this way the ungrounded
circuit conductor is fused on the circuit board. A disconnecting means should be provided to disconnect
incoming power to this device. Field wiring should conform to all national and local electrical codes and
any other agency or authority having jurisdiction over the installation. For power input, use wire that is
sized and rated for the maximum voltage and current as per equipment ratings and has a temperature rat-
ing of at least 70 degrees C For relay output, use wire that is sized and rated for the maximum voltage and
current as per application, up to 250VAC 10A, and has a temperature rating of at least 70 degrees C .
Installation shall be done by qualified personnel.

925-0290 Rev A 6
3.3 Grounding
An equipment grounding connection (earth ground) must be supplied to the unit for safety and to insure
proper operation of the unit. A green ground screw is provided in the enclosure for connection of an equip-
ment grounding conductor as shown in the figure above. This unit uses earth ground as a reference for
calibration and detecting a covered or uncovered condition. Therefore, the vessel in which the PROCAP I
is mounted must be made of metal, or a suitable metal ground plate must be installed where the PROCAP
I is mounted.

4.0 FAIL-SAFE SELECTION
4.1 Description
A Fail-Safe condition means that the relay contact positions are set up so that in the event of a power fail-
ure the relay will be de-energized and the contacts will indicate a condition that is deemed safe for the
application. (Refer to FIGURE 2.1 for the location of the Fail-Safe selection switch.)
4.2 Fail-Safe High
Fail-Safe High means that the relay will be energized when the probe is uncovered and will de-energize
when the probe is covered. In this mode, a power failure will cause the relay contacts to indicate that the
probe is covered whether it is or not.
4.3 Fail-Safe Low
Fail-Safe Low means that the relay will be de-energized when the probe is uncovered and will energize
when the probe is covered. In this mode, a power failure will cause the relay contacts to indicate that the
probe is uncovered whether it is or not.

5.0 CALIBRATION
The PROCAP I Quick Set calibration uses two single turn potentiometers making calibration very simple.
One potentiometer labeled COARSE is used to compensate for the capacitance of the empty vessel. The
other potentiometer labeled FINE is used to set in the desired sensitivity. Refer to FIGURE 2.1 for the
location of these potentiometers on the printed circuit board.
NOTE: Accurate calibration requires that the appropriate probe is attached to the PROCAP I and
the unit installed in the vessel. The probe must be UNCOVERED and material well below it.
5.1 Calibration Verification
Following calibration adjustment, the sensitivity setting that you have selected should be checked by veri-
fying that the PRO CAP II senses a covered probe condition with your material.
5.2 Calibration Procedure
WARNING: During Calibration, this unit will need to be energized. Care should be taken to not
come in contact with any live voltage in the area around the terminal blocks and fuse!
CAUTION: The Calibration potentiometers are delicate electronic devices, do not use excessive
force when adjusting.
1. Turn both the COARSE and FINE potentiometers fully counter clockwise (CCW). The internal COV-
ERED indicator light should be OFF.
2. Turn the COARSE potentiometer slowly clockwise (CW) to the point where the COVERED indicator
light just turns ON and stays on.
3. Turn the FINE potentiometer slowly clockwise (CW) until the COVERED indicator light just turns OFF.
(If the COARSE potentiometer has been carefully adjusted, this should occur when the FINE potenti-
ometer is between the 8 and 10 O'clock position.) Now continue to turn the FINE potentiometer clock-
wise (CW) to the desired sensitivity setting.
HIGH sensitivity: 1/16 turn
MEDIUM sensitivity: 1/8 turn
LOW sensitivity: 1/4 to 1/2 turn
NOTE: It may be convenient to think of the FINE potentiometer as a clock face and envision the distance
between consecutive hour numbers. Turning the FINE potentiometer clockwise one hour position past the
point at which the COVERED indicator just turns OFF would provide a high sensitivity setting. Two-hour
positions past that point would provide a medium sensitivity setting..
5.3 Sensitivity Selection
Sensitivity Setting (typical) Dielectric Constant of Material
HIGH sensitivity: 4 or less
MEDIUM sensitivity: 4 to 10
LOW sensitivity: 10 or higher

925-0290 Rev A 9
6.0 EXTERNAL VIEW LED
PROCAP I models include an external view LED. PROCAP I X models do not have an external view LED.
This LED provides an externally visible status indication for the PROCAP I. When this LED is flashing, it
indicates a normal Uncovered condition. When this LED is ON steady, it indicates a Covered condition.
When this LED is OFF, it indicates a power failure or fault condition. This external LED is affected by any
time delay set for the relay contacts.
7.0 TIME DELAY
The PROCAP I has two single turn adjustable time delay potentiometers. The Delay potentiometer labeled
UNCVR is for applying a time delay on going from a covered indication to an uncovered indication.
The Delay potentiometer labeled CVR is for applying a time delay on going from an uncovered indication
to an covered indication. Each potentiometer can be set for a time delay of up to approximately 30 sec-
onds. This time delay affects the relay contacts and external LED only. The internal Covered LED
will immediately respond to a change in covered or uncovered condition regardless of the time delay set-
ting.
Minimum time delay is when the DELAY potentiometers are set fully counter-clockwise. (Refer to the Fig-
ure below for the location of the DELAY potentiometers.) Maximum time delay is with the DELAY potenti-
ometer set fully clockwise.
