SILO SWITCHES S1/S2   
 The Silo switch is designed for the surface level control of loose 
storage items. 
OPERATION AND INSTALLATION  
At the end of a cable hangs a cone containing a micro switch which operates 
when the cone is tilted some 25° in any direction from its normal vertical position. 
The unit must be installed a minimum of 250 mm from the silo wall and a minimum 
of 300 mm from the centre opening. 40 mm of cable is required from the end of the 
protective conduit to the cone. The same requirements hold true for the side mounted switch.
When the silo is filled to the predetermined capacity the switch is activated by the 
rising level of the item being stored.
