Proximity Sensor Location and Installation
NOTE: The location of the proximity sensor will be determined by the size o f the distributor. Using the table
shown in Figure 3E, locate the diameter and number of spouts of the distributor being used and note the
proximity sensor reference number. This reference number is marked on the bottom of the proximity
sensor bracket (DEC0006) and identifies the location for installing the proximity sensors (DEC0018).
Install the two (2) proximity sensors (DEC0018) into the proximity sensor bracket (DEC0006) at the
appropriate locations determined from the table. (See Figure 3E below and Figure 3G on Page 14.)
