Refractive Type
Opto
The Refractive Type Opto sensor is used in applications when checking liquid
levels. The opto works by the refraction of light from an internal LED through
the liquid being sensed, ie solvent cleaning fluid.
Fitted to the underscreen cleaner solvent tank the opto is used to detect when
the liquid solvent falls below the set level.

Through Beam
Optos
The types of through beam opto used on this machine are:
• Fork Sensor Type
• Long Throw Type
• Counter Type
Fork Sensor Type The through beam fork sensor transmits a beam across the gap in the opto.
When a vane enters the gap the beam is broken and the sensors output
transistor is switched on.

Long Throw Type The long throw opto works on the same principal as the through beam type but
uses two individual sensor devices (receiver and emitter) to cover a wider gap,
ie screen at centre indicator.

Testing/Adjustment If the sensor fails to operate, confirm the sensor is faulty as follows:
1. Disconnect the through beam opto.
2. Short out the signal to earth on the socket.
3. Check that the relevant MultiMove LED is illuminated, if so the sensor is
defective.
