Hog Slat Inc. Newton Grove, NC USA July 2019 3 Grow-Flex™ Feed Systems 17 EL1213 PROXIMITY SENSOR Installation: The HS597-PROX Hopper Level Switch Control should be installed in the last hopper or feeder which is located at the end of the delivery or fill system. The switch should be mounted low in the hopper or feeder so the fill level in the control hopper will be lower than the other hoppers. This will cause the fill system to cycle more frequently insuring a proper feed level in every hopper or feeder. It will also provide a reservoir of feed in the system if another control hopper calls for feed. The feed drop tube should be positioned so that feed is delivered to the center of the hopper. Drop tubes and other hopper switch control units should be positioned high in other hoppers or feeders so that they will fill but not overflow. 1. (Figure 1) Illustrates a typical installation example of the HS597-PROX into a feed hopper. 2. Hopper Level Switch Control is held in place by clamping assembly to the top lip of the feed hopper. 3. Remove the two wing nuts, washers and TOP MOUNTNG BRACKET (Item #3) from top of assembly. 4. Slide switch assembly underneath top lip of feed hopper as shown below (figure 1). 5. Replace TOP MOUNTING BRACKET (item #3), washers, wing nuts and tighten in place. 6. It is recommended the HS597-PROX be mounted vertically. FIGURE 1 Wing Nuts ITEM#3 Top mounting bracket.
