Because the Dust Sentry works via an adjustable infrared sensor, it can sometimes show false positives with an empty container because of the reflective surface at the bottom of the steel drum. This issue will go away soon after the system is used; once the bottom of the drum has sawdust on it, the Dust Sentry should no longer give a false positive. It can also be resolved by painting/coloring the inside bottom of the drum so that it is no longer reflective enough to affect the sensor.

Adjust the detection of the dust level of the infrared sensor by rotating the Level Set Screw. Turning it towards the plus sign (+) will lengthen the range of the sensor; turning it towards the minus sign (-) will shorten the sensor’s range. DO NOT force the level set screw.

We recommend that the sensor be set to alert at a distance of 4-6". To test the range, place your hand in front of the sensor, while the Dust Sentry is plugged in, to represent the dust drum filling up.
