INSTALLATION
The Binswitch may be mounted horizontally or vertically. 4B offers two mounts, SMP or the BMPG36
(see illustrations below). If the Binswitch must be located in the path of an abrasive material, use in
conjunction with the Binswitch Abrasion Shield (BAS). It is important that the Binswitch is not located in
the direct ow path of any abrasive material.
Three alternative mounting methods are available for the Binswitch, see Fig. A, B and C below:

STANDARD WIRING DIAGRAM
All wiring must be In accordance with local and national electrical codes and should be undertaken by
an experienced and qualied electrician.
Always use dust/liquid tight exible metal conduit with approved ttings to protect the sensor cables.
Use rigid metal conduit to protect the cables from the sensors to the control unit. Conduit systems can
channel water due to ingress and condensation directly to sensors and sensor connections which over
time will adversely affect the performance of the system. As such, the installation of low point conduit
drains is recommended for all sensors.
SENSOR CALIBRATION
1. The unit must be installed before calibration takes place, connect the Binswitch to power and a
suitable control unit
2. Check that no material is around the tip of the Binswitch
3. Carefully turn the calibration control screw fully counterclockwise until red LED is “ON”. This will set
the sensor sensitivity to zero.
4. With no material around the tip of the Binswitch, rotate the control screw clockwise until the LED
goes “OFF”. Then slowly rotate the control screw counterclockwise until the LED goes “ON”.
Finally, to set the sensor sensitivity to the optimum setting, turn the control screw ten degrees
counterclockwise.
5. Start the process to cover the Binswitch with material and check that the red LED goes “OFF” and
that the Binswitch shuts down the equipment as required.
6. Remove the material from the Binswitch and check that the red LED comes “ON” and that the
Binswitch operates the equipment as required.
7. The Binswitch is now set and ready for use.

WARNING
If the material being monitored creates dust, you may need to re-calibrate the sensor. Dust build up
on the Binswitch will affect the initial calibration. Do NOT remove the Binswitch and clean off the
dust. To adjust the sensor to the dust build up, turn the control screw slowly counterclockwise until
the LED turns “ON”.
Always check that the Binswitch detects material after the sensitivity has been adjusted.
NOTE
The total sensitivity setting of the control screw is four full rotations (clockwise and counterclockwise).
To prevent damage to the control screw, the screw will continue to rotate after four full rotations.
Turning the control screw counterclockwise decreases the sensor sensitivity, turning clockwise
increases the sensitivity.

WARNING
If the system does not immediately shutdown as expected or alarm as required, then remove the
machine from service until the problem has been diagnosed and corrected.
TESTING AND COMMISSIONING
1. Check that the unit is correctly installed (see standard wiring diagram).
2. After going through the sensor calibration steps, the red LED should be “ON”.
3. Introduce material to the Binswitch. If calibrated correctly, the Binswitch will activate when material
has been detected. Machinery shut down will depend on your specic monitoring setup. 4B
recommends an instant shutdown when maximum ll level or a plug condition has been detected.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
FAULT REMEDY
Unexpected Operation Re-calibrate sensor, if problem continues contact 4B.
False / Inconsistent Readings
1. Check that sensor is not in the direct ow of material, and
remove from ow if necessary.
2. If sensor is coated in dust, re-calibrate by following calibration
Instructions.
Sensor Not Detecting Material
1. If monitoring different types of materials, calibrate the sensor
Sensitivity to the lightest material being monitored.
2. Re-calibrate sensor, if problem continues contact 4B.
