https://www.alternateheatingsystems.com/store/ind ... cts_id=144The Hopper Sensor detects the presence of coal near the sensor. When coal feeds from the hopper such that the level of coal is below the switch, the Auger will engage and fill the hopper to a point just above the switch. This sensor is for Coal Guns with automatic augers only.
There are 2 different sensors used. They are NOT interchangeable, but can be quickly identified by color. This one (see photo) is gray colored.
Order this item if your sensor has failed. If you are retrofitting a Coal Gun for auger feed, please call or email for assistance:

For that amount of money a new vacuum system with 2 big shop vacs, a dust deputy, Y's, 4 lengths of PVC pipe, 15 degree elbows, glue and pipe cleaner, a barrel and plumbing parts could reach Cadillac quality.

A coal vac won't work with Pea sized coal. There is too much air between the larger pieces. Besides that, an auger is a much more heavy duty way to convey coal than relying on vacuum cleaners.

Is there also some sort of control (relay?) that must be purchased in conjunction with this sensor so it will switch an auger motor on/off?
