MODELS: CT-105, CT-106 AND CT-107 with CT-200G / CT-201G SERIES

Intrinsically safe output for Class I, Groups A, B, C, & D; Class II, Groups E, F, & G
locations when used with CT-G series probes.
WARNING:
DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY may occur.
Before installing or adjusting, shut down and physically lock-out the conveyor system.
Only controls and probes described in these instructions, when properly connected, meet
intrinsically safe requirements. To prevent ignition of flammable or combustible
atmospheres, disconnect power before servicing. Substitution of components may impair
intrinsic safety.

Probe Specifications:

Each probe contains one SP/ST, normally closed, mercury or non-mercury switch. Probe options available are
stainless steel construction, paddle for use in applications where the materials are moving, and threaded coupling.

Installation Instructions:

Mounting (Refer to Figures 8-10):

The control unit should be mounted in an area free from vibration with maximum ambient temperature 40C/104 F.
Consideration should be given to mounting the unit where indicator lights will be visible to the necessary personnel,
and wiring may be easily installed to the probe and other machinery.

Wiring:
Field wiring must meet or exceed the requirements of the National Electrical Code and any other agency or authority
having jurisdiction over the installation. Conduit fittings must meet applicable UL standards for the application
environment. Standard enclosures are equipped with three ¾ NPT conduit connection openings. Probe connection
cable, attached to the probe, is 16-3 type SO. The probe cable connects to the CT controller through the
appropriately marked conduit opening only. Length is supplied as specified per order, up to 5,000 ft. [1524 m]
maximum (probe cable may be spliced). If not specified, the probe is supplied with 25 ft. [7.62 m] of cable.

Probe Installation (Refer to Figures 5-10):

The probe should be suspended using a fixed support, such as the CT-400 mounting bracket and CT-500 S-hook, at
a position where it will easily intercept the bulk material at the desired indication point. There must be a free flow of
material both to and away from the probe. In some installations, it is necessary to install a baffle or shield above the
probe assembly to protect it from product surges.

Troubleshooting Suggestions:
1. Verify input voltage to controller is appropriate (120 VAC or 240 VAC).
2. Use a continuity meter to check tilt probe operation when disconnected from the electrical circuit. Circuit is
normally closed (NC) when probe is vertical, and normally open (NO) when probe is tilted (toward
horizontal).
3. Use a paddle or float ball in conjunction with tilt probe for fine or small grained material that does not
allow probe to tilt.
4. Verify the logic selector switch is in correct position.
Position 1: Relay energizes when the probe is in the vertical position.
Relay de-energizes when probe is in the tilted position.
Middle: Null state with no contact: DO NOT USE.
Position 2: Relay energizes when probe is in the tilted position.
Relay de-energizes when probe is in vertical position.
5. Verify an input voltage has been applied to the relay common (COM) terminal.
6. The probe connection board fuse (non-replaceable) may be blown. Remove the two base holding screws
along with the electronics assembly. Remove the 4 nuts and lock-washers from the corners of the
electronics assembly, and carefully remove the probe connection board from the mounting bracket. Check
the 50 mA (12 V) fuse with a continuity checker. If the fuse is open (no continuity), replace the entire
probe connection board assembly, as the fuse is not field replaceable.
