2-3 Equipment Function SS/CS Series hopper loaders are efficient conveyers of free-flowing pelletized or granular materials from supply containers into machine bins or other receivers. You can customize operation by adjusting operating parameters accessible through a menu system built into the control. Simple electrical and compressed air connections are all that’s needed for operation; a central vacuum system is not necessary. 2-4 Models Covered in this Manual SS/CS Series models are d

Make sure that the material demand sensor is installed with the proper amount of clearance, and that it is free of obstructions. If the installation has the SSL/CSL or SSIL/CSIL Series hopper loader wired directly to a power main, you must install a fused disconnect with lockout to allow safe operation and maintenance. Make sure all connections are tight. 3-9 Installing the Remote Control Box Optional-Series One Plus Controller Only The remote option permits mounting a control up to 9 fee
