These instructions are a guideline for installation of the GrowerSELECT 230 Volt Replacement Feed
Sensor in four (4) wire Sensors control units. In all cases, the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)
wiring instructions should be followed if possible.
It is in no way to be used to violate or supersede local, state and national wiring codes. All wiring sizes
and fuse capacities are to be sized according to national electrical code specifications or other applicable
regulations.
For the purpose of installation:
NC (Normally Closed) is defined as contacts closed (runs) with power supply connected to sensor
and no product in contact with sensor. (Black wires marked #1 & #3)
NO (Normally Open) is defined as contacts open (does not run) with power supply connected to
sensor and no product in contact with sensor. (Black wires marked #1 & #4)
COM (Common) is defined as common or supply for sensor circuit used in conjunction with NO or
NC leads. (Black Lead #1)
L1 (Line 1) is defined as Line 1 of power supply circuit. (Brown wire)
L2 (Line 2) is defined as Line 2 of power supply circuit. (Blue wire)
Mounting:
Sensor should be installed consistent with existing sensor mounting in rubber grommet or other suitable
mount. Replacement grommets can be purchased at your local Hog Slat retailer. Sensor should be
inserted into grommet so that 1/2" Minimum of sensor protrudes past grommet into grain/feed area
(Figure 1). It should be secured with supplied Nylon cable tie. Do not use hose clamp!
