Hey all, just installed one of these into my cyclone dust collector... installed it as far from the center on the lid as possible but that's only 3 or 4 inches. When I tested the unit before installation appears to work great and love that it has levels.
Started with an empty bin as soon as I turned it on the levels went up... ran just a few boards through the planer and the levels go up to the 1st orange which is supposed to be like 9in... the bin is virtually empty! What gives? And when I shut it off the levels still stayed at the 3rd level even though it's virtually empty.
I'm guessing that dust is on the sensor housing and clouds its judgement so to speak... how is this avoidable in a dust collector?
Does anyone have experience with these? Thought it was a great looking product at a reasonable price but so far not impressed.... thoughts? Thanks.
