the capacitive sensor came from plastixs out of shrewsbury ma. the control cost 99 bucks, plus 28 for shipping. super nice folks to deal with! all wired 115volts a/c power. 1 relay activates multi function timer as a 1 shot option now set for 15 seconds. 2nd relay will turn off auger when sensor is satisfied. the one shot timer acts as a safety, if auger was to run past a reasonable time it will shut off i.e. broken belt/empty bin/defective sensor. the multi function timer is fully adjustable with a ton of options, the other 2 are rib [relay in a box] they are nice control voltage is wide open n/o and n/c contacts. they also make a double set of contacts in 1 control also. I have bein using the rib and same multi function relay on the ash auger for a few years now with no problems. once again thanks for the help on finding the right sensor!!! :yes:

*plumberman*, would you happen to have a schematic or wiring diagram of the whole or parts of that setup you could link or post?
