4.2. Installing the dump valve sensor
The controller uses a dump valve sensor (A) with a magnet (B) to determine demand. When the dump valve is closed, indicating demand, the magnet is pushed towards the sensor. The presence of the magnet near the sensor indicates demand and triggers a new conveying cycle.
When the dump valve is open, indicating that no material is needed, the magnet is pushed up and away from the sensor. If the sensor does not detect the magnet, it does not trigger a new conveying cycle.
