Mounting and Wiring the Control Box
The i-Plus3 control box needs to be wired in parallel to the junction box.
1. Mount the (C2000822) i-Plus3 control box to the ceiling near the junction box.
2. Supply 240V AC earth/ground (green), neutral L2 (white) and 240V L1 (black) to the correct leads.
3. Wire the signal wire sensor N.O. (red) in parallel with the other drop tube units to the control unit
(FLX-5350). This will close the loop and provide the control unit with a signal when any of the hoppers
calls for feed.

Wiring the IR Hopper Sensor
Wire the included 10' sensor cable (13) with quick connect into the i-Plus3 control box.
1. Cut the cable to length as needed and connect the loose end to screw terminals inside the
control box.
2. Route the sensor cable (13) down the drop tube and fasten using cable ties.
3. Connect the cable to the IR hopper sensor (19) using the 4-pin quick connect.

Adjusting the IR Hopper Sensor
1. Initial hoppers needs to adjust sensors towards the top of the hopper to utilize its full capacity, while
still having enough space for feed to flow into the sensor.
2. The last hopper in the row needs to have the sensor placed as low as possible, using the
following criteria:
a. Once the hopper sensor shuts off the over-head line, there needs to be enough feed in the hopper
to sustain the pan feeding line during the one minute built in delay. Use trial and error to place
the hopper sensor at the lowest height possible while also making sure the pan feeding line never
runs empty during this period.
3. Observe the system to ensure the following:
a. The last line doesn’t have the sensor too low so that the out going auger runs empty.
b. The middle hopper drop tube is secured such that the feed will not flow into the sensor.
c. The same criteria will apply when the feed line is raised.
d. All electrical connections are water-tight.
Setting the Time Delay
NOTE: The time delay default is set to 30 seconds at the factory.
1. Select the time delay units by turning dip switch 1 to ON for minutes and OFF for seconds. Turn ON
dip switches 2, 3 and 4 to choose that time delay interval or to add it to the total time delay.
2. All selections add to the time delay total. The maximum amount of time delay in seconds is
180 seconds and the maximum amount of time delay in minutes is 180 minutes.
3. If no time is selected (dip switches 2-4 set to OFF), the default time delay is 10 seconds.
4. On a power cycle, the first time delay will be 10 seconds no matter what time delay is set.
a. Dip Switch #1 selects units: ON = Minutes / OFF = Seconds
b. Dip Switch #2: 30
c. Dip Switch #3: 60
d. Dip Switch #4: 90
