The Chore-Time 34255 Proximity Switch is a dependable 230V sensor designed for automated feed delivery systems in poultry and livestock operations. It accurately detects the presence of feed in hoppers or feed lines, signaling your system to start or stop as neededākeeping feed levels consistent and operations running smoothly.
Key Features
Adjustable Time Delay: Set from 1 second up to 10 minutes for flexible control over system restart timing.
Adjustable Sensitivity: Detects feed from 0 to 15 mm from the sensor tip; fine-tune easily with a screwdriver to match your specific feed type.
Reliable Operation: The internal relay instantly stops the system when feed is detected, then restarts automatically after the delay once feed is gone.
Troubleshooting Tips
Ensure a steady 230V power supply for accurate performance.
Allow a 15-minute warm-up before making sensitivity adjustments.
Use a multimeter to verify output type (PNP or NPN).
Inspect the cam or mechanical activator for wear or damage if used in conjunction with the switch.
Built for accuracy and durability, the Chore-Time 34255 Proximity Switch helps you maintain consistent feed flow, reduce downtime, and improve overall system efficiency.
