Installation Instructions:
The Primer orientation sensor installs into station # 5, the station after the primer seating station. To
install the sensor the Shellplate must be removed or lifted to remove the spacer housing. Although it’s
not required, we do recommend to remove the tool head for full access. Below are the installation steps
for installing the sensor on a Revolution (shown). Evolution and Apex10 process is the same.
Step 1: Removing Press Top End
1. Remove Tool Head
2. Remove Shellplate nut
3. Loosen the Shellplate retainer clamps and remove the Shellplate spring.
4. Remove the Shellplate
5. Remove Spacer Block by loosening 2X 10-32 from the underside of the Priming Assembly with a
9/64” Allen Key

Step 2: Installing Probe Retractor and Springs
Place the two springs into the spring wells in the primer housing as shown. Apply a small amount of red
and tacky grease on the springs. Once the springs are installed, insert the probe retractor into the large
spring.

Step 3: Installing the Primer Orientation Sensor Main Body
Carefully lower the sensor body straight down so the probe retractor enters the bronze sleeve bearing
and the indicator finger pin enters the spring. The sensor should mount fully flush into the pocket with
no resistance. If it does not seat properly remove and reseat. Re-use the QTY 2 8-32 screws from the
underside of the priming system to secure the sensor the priming assembly. Spare screws are included
if needed.

Once the Sensor is fully installed add a couple drops of light weight oil on the probe retractor and
moving components and manually actuate the sensor to make sure it is moving smoothly.
Step 4: Re-install the Press components
1. Install Shellplate
2. Install Shellplate Spring and set tension
3. Install Shellplate Nut
4. Install Tool Head*
Note: When installing the Tool Head always perform the final tightening of the Tool Head with the crank
assembly in the down position.

Step 5: Adjusting Optical Sensor to Desired Primer Depth
With the machine powered off and the tool head in the UP POSITION place a case with a seated primer
to the desired depth into station #5. Make sure the Shellplate nut is fully threaded down to the desired
tightness. When you Install the Primed case, you will notice the indicator Pin will move up slightly. With
the case installed the top of the indicator pin should be FLUSH with the top of the Sensor Housing. If the
sensor Housing is higher or lower loosen the two socket head Screws on the back of the sensor housing
and reset the height.

Operating Instructions:
Software version 2.11 or newer is required for the sensor to operate properly. Visit
https://www.markvii-loading.com/knowledgebase navigate to the appropriate section depending on
your unit. Then click on the User Manual and Firmware Updates dropdown to find the latest software.
Before entering the Loader application make sure the press manually cycles smoothly with the sensor
installed and the sensor is plugged into Port #2. Enter the Loader Application and Perform Calibration.
Once the calibration is complete, select the sensor tab and enable the sensor as shown below.
Figure 1 : Enabling Sensor
The sensor checks the primer depth when initiating a single cycle or pressing Run. If a case is not present
in station #5 or a case has an upside down, no primer or a primer set at a depth +/- .025” off the desired
primer depth a notification can appear. You must clear the notification before continuing or disable the
sensor.
The Primer Orientation sensor if set properly will also detect a Shellplate index fault. If the sensor is
enabled and a case is located in station 5 with a primer installed properly the sensor will allow the
machine to perform a cycle. During the cycle if the sensor doesn’t detect the advancement of the
Shellplate on the upstroke a notification can appear. If the notification appears on the screen clear the
Shellplate and check the mechanical indexing components before continuing operating the press.
