As my iVac unit failed ( and they don't care about customers) I presume from ESD in a week, I am looking for another solution. Many years ago, there were some posts on using garage door sensors in the tube. I have only overflowed once, but wonder if in the tube is too late?
Industrial systems use a paddle in the dust or ultrasonic sensors that cost as much as the DC. Some like the Oneida IR, some say it gets dirty too easy. It is a hostile environment between dust and ESD. I was wondering if there was a newer SOP or suggestions? I have a small bin due to ceiling, so it makes checking a more than once a day if plaining or jointing. I am looking at boxing in the ceiling to raise the system for a taller bin, but still need a sensor. It is in the corner of a different room, so just a clear window won't work.
I have added strips of foil tape to ground the cyclone ( ClearView) Seems to help a lot. Wondering if the bag in the drum is a waste. Thinking of larger wheels on the drum dolly so I could just roll it out to the garden.
