Chapter 2: Installing the Slide Gate
Installing the Proximity Switch (Optional)
In auto mode, proximity switches allow the system to automatically switch between the tanks connected
to a “feedline”. Premise of the program is that it will keep one slide gate on each “feedline” open all the
time if there is feed in the tanks. When one tank runs empty, the system will switch to the next tank
automatically. This is the “Auto” mode.
1. Mount the proximity switch mounting bracket (22) onto the middle of the boot (19) face using four
#10-16 x 3/4" self-drilling screws (21).
NOTE: Make sure to mount the bracket (22) on the boot (19) face opposite to the actuator.
2. Attach the proximity switch (23) to the switch mounting bracket (22).
3. Calibrate the proximity switch (23).
Figure 2-14 Installing the proximity switch
4. Route the cable through the conduit for the other load cell wires.
5. Wire the proximity switch (23) to the controller
6. Program the proximity switch (23) accordingly.
a. If you have one controller for one tank, then wire the switch to either proximity 1 or proximity 2
and select the appropriate setting in the configuration menu.
b. If you have one controller for two tanks (single on each tank), then wire the two switches and
select the “proximity switch: Both” setting in the configuration menu.
