Read these Safety Instructions before using the switch for the first time and follow the Operating instructions.
Safety instructions
1. The installation, initial operation and maintenance should only be carried out by a qualified expert with electrical know-how.
2. Comply with the local and statutory rules and/or the VDE0100.
3. Before electrical connection, check the specifications on the data plate and the technical data of this manual.
4. A fuse must be connected in series to the supply voltage, according to the Standard and Normative documents.
5. Protect the signal contacts of the limit switch against voltage peaks when inductive or capacitive loads are connected.
6. The device may be put into operation only if the protection made of Porexpan and placed inside the housing has been removed. This is only a
protection during the transport of the device.
7. The device may be put into operation only if the electrical connection is correct. To secure the type of protection, the sealing cap and the gasket
must be placed correctly and the screw nut of the cable gland has to be fixed and fastened to the cable entry.
8. The earth connection of the device has to be installed in such a way that mechanical damage will be excluded.
9. Protect the controller from vibration and shakes. The vibration can provoke premature damage to the controller and may become useless.
10. The blade must not be hit by the filling stream. To avoid this, deflect the filling stream or install a deflection screen or a protection roof. It is also
recommended to install a protection roof when the controllers are used as empty-indicator or medium-indicator in silos where vaults could be formed
or where high loads above it could exist.
11. Avoid the installation of standard devices in ambient with vapour or with several changes of temperature. There are specific models for these
applications with different sealings rings and bearings that can extend the lifetime of the device.
12. Ask for rotary levels with the special sealing ring made of Stainless Steel-PTFE-Viton in applicactions with aggressive products or with micronized
bulk solids.
13. The connections of the single components as like as blade, shaft, extension, anti-buckling protection, etc. are permissible only with the attached
pins.
14. Switch off the power supply, before disconnecting the device.

Operating instructions
1. Specification
1.1 Intended use
The rotary blade level indicator IR observes the filling level as a
limit switch. It can be used as indicator for dusty and powdery,
granulated and grainy bulk goods and are appropriated due to the
range of models and blades to control the level of bulk solids like
dust, flour, grain, sand, plastic, etc.

with a bulk density between
3
0.01 to 2 t/m . Although the characteristics of the product, humidity,
conductivity, grain size, etc. change, any adjustment is needed
These devices are used to control the level in silos, containers,
bunkers and they can be installed horizontally or vertically. For
vertical mountings there are rope shafts up to 10 m that could be
made depending on the product to control.
The rotating measuring blade, projecting into the silo or container,
is driven by a gearmotor. If the bulk material reaches the
measuring blade, the rotation will be hindered and it will be
stopped. The return torque turns the pivoted motor from its end
position and actuates the signal switch. A second switch turns the
motor off.
If the filling level of the bulk material sinks, the blade becomes
freely again and a spring will turn the motor back into its original
end position. Thereby the motor will be turned on again and the
signal switch will be switched back.
Power consumption
Maximum voltage of contact 250 V AC
Capacity of the contact 15 A / 250 V AC

2. Installation
2.1 Preparing for use
-
- Verify if you got all the parts, the controller, blade with pin and
shaft extension if it was requested.
Read the Safety instructions and the Operating instructions before
using the controller.
2.2 Mechanical connection
There are models that can be mounted horizontally or vertically into
the silo.
The standard form is mounting the device with a flange, drilling
holes on the silo to allow the mounting of the controller using
screws, rods, fasteners or nuts. If the flange was not requested, the
thread is G 1 " 1/4 and can be fixed using 1 or 2 nuts or introducing
it into a threaded socket with a maximum of 25 mm length. If it is
larger, the bulk goods have the possibility to deposit in the thread
socket. This could provoke that the device becomes useless.

Cable gland
- Fasten the cable gland after making the electrical connection.
- Fix and fasten the screw nut of the cable gland to make sure of
the water-tightness.
3. Use
3.1 Commissioning
- Put the controller into operation only if the installation and the
electrical connection have been done correctly.
-
The blade must not be hit by the filling stream. To avoid this,
deflect the filling stream or install a deflection screen or a
protection roof. It is also recommended to install a protection roof
when the controllers are used as empty-indicator or medium-
indicator in silos where vaults could be formed or where high loads
above it could exist.
The device may be put into operation only if the protection made
of Porexpan and placed inside the housing has been removed.
This is only a protection during the transport of the device.
3.2 Normal operation
- Use the device in its intended application only.
- Comply with the specifications
- If the controller is damaged, disconnect it immediately.
- It is forbidden to make changes to the device. This violates the
Normative.
3.3 Inexpert handling
- Ignoring the Safety instructions and the Operating instructions.
- Not intended use.
- Making changes or handling the controller.
- Violation against applicable Law and Standards.
- Using of non original parts.
4. Maintenance, servicing and spare parts
4.1 Maintenance
- If used correctly, no specific maintenance is required.
4.2 Servicing
- Check and review the state of the housing, the blade, shaft
extension if it was required and the correct commutation of the
electrical contact, as well.
4.3 Spare parts
- Use only original parts.
- The spare parts of the controller can be consulted in the document
“R-IR-01”.
5. Storage
- Store the controller in a dry and dust-free environment.
- Dismount the shaft together with the blade. Ensure that the shaft
of the level indicator with jib extension will not be buckled or
bended.
6. Disposal
-
- The controller can be recycled.
- The disposal applies to the valid environmental Guidelines
according to the location of the carrier and the local
manufacturing conditions.

data of this manual.
Switch off the power supply, before disconnecting the device.
