SAFETY INFORMATION
4
10. Keep all operating personnel advised of the location and operation of all emergency controls and
devices. Clear access to these controls and devices must be maintained.
11. Frequent inspections of these controls and devices, covers, guards and equipment to ensure proper
working order and correct positioning must be performed.
12. Practice good housekeeping at all times and maintain good lighting around all equipment.
13. Do not walk on conveyor covers, gratings or guards.
14. Do not poke or prod material into the conveyor with a bar or stick.
15. Do not place hands, feet or any part of the body or clothing in the conveyor or openings.
16. Do not overload conveyor or attempt to use it for other than its intended use.
17. Always regulate the feeding of material into the unit at a uniform and continuous rate.
18. Do not attempt to clear a jammed conveyor until power has been LOCKED OUT.
19. Do not attempt field modifications of the conveyor.
20. Drag conveyor inlet and discharge openings are designed to connect to other equipment or
machinery so that the flow of material into and out of the drag conveyor is completely enclosed.
21. Before power is connected to the drive, a pre-start up check shall be performed to ensure the
equipment and area are safe for operation and all guards are in place and secure.
22. Drag conveyors are not normally manufactured or designed to handle materials that are hazardous to
personnel. These materials which are hazardous include those that are explosive, flammable, toxic or
otherwise dangerous to personnel. Conveyors may be designed to handle these materials. Conveyors
are not manufactured or designed to comply with National and Local codes for unfired pressure
vessels. If hazardous materials are to be conveyed or if the conveyor is to be subjected to internal or
external pressure, then consult MMS prior to any modifications.
23. Always operate the conveyor in accordance with these instructions and those contained on the
caution labels affixed to the equipment.
MMS insists that disconnecting and locking out the power to the motor driving the unit provides
the only real protection against injury. Secondary safety devices are available; however, the
decision as to their need and the type required must be made by the owner-assembler as we have no
information regarding plant wiring, plant environment, the interlocking of the drag conveyor with
other equipment, and the extent of plant automation.
Other devices should not be used as a substitute for locking out the power prior to removing guards
or covers. We caution that use of the secondary devices may cause employees to develop a false
sense of security and fail to lock out power before removing covers or guards. This could result in a
serious injury should the secondary device fail or malfunction.
There are many kinds of electrical devices for interlocking of equipment systems such that if the drag
conveyor in a system or process is stopped other equipment feeding it, or following it can also be
automatically stopped.
Electrical controls, machinery guards, railings, walkways, arrangement of installation, training of
personnel, etc., are necessary ingredients for a safe working place. It is the responsibility of the
5
contractor, installer, owner and user to supplement the materials and services furnished with these
necessary items to make the drag conveyor installation comply with the law and accepted standards.
It is your responsibility as an owner/operator/supervisor to know what specific requirements,
precautions and work hazards exist and to make these known to all other personnel working with the
equipment, or in the area, so that they too may take any necessary safety precautions that may be
required. Avoid any alterations to the equipment. Such alterations may create a dangerous situation
where serious injury or death may occur.
Explosion venting may be required depending on location, and / or product being
transferred through this equipment. To operate without proper explosion venting
may result in fire or explosion. Check local industrial codes and policies.
Failure to read this Operation and Assembly Manual and its safety instructions is a misuse of the
equipment.
OPERATOR QUALIFICATIONS
Operation of this drag conveyor shall be limited to competent and experienced persons. In addition,
anyone who will operate or work with this equipment must use good common sense. In order to be
qualified, he/she must also know and meet all other relevant requirements such as:
1. Some regulations may specify that no one under a certain age may operate

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Assembly of a MMS Drag Conveyors may vary between different models and lengths. Some of our
shorter drag conveyors are shipped fully assembled. Longer drag conveyors are usually shipped in
sections which must be assembled in a particular manner.
1) Thoroughly inspect the complete head and drive section for any damage or misalignment which may
have occurred during shipping or handling.
2) Check that the sprocket is on the centre line of the drag head. Check that sprocket “key” is in place
and that the set screws are tight.
3) If the drive has a guard, remove it and check the alignment and tightness of all the drive components.
4) Carefully turn the drive over by hand using the “V” belts to check if all moving parts turn freely and
do not rub on any stationary parts. For drives using sprocket and chain you must remove the
chain from the sprockets and then turn. Adjust if required.
5) Check, and adjust if required, the tension of the drive belts or chain. (Refer to Maintenance-Drive
section of this manual ).
TAIL
Drag conveyor tail sections are usually shipped fully assembled. The tail section is critical to the
satisfactory operation of a drag conveyor and, therefore, the following checks should be carried out.
1. Thoroughly inspect the complete tail section for any damage or misalignment which may have
occurred during shipping or handling.
2. Check that the sprocket is on the centre line of the drag boot. Check that sprocket “key” is in place
and that the set screws are tight.
3. Model 2 drag conveyors are equipped with a “Push Box” chain tightening system. It is important that
the “Gap” of the telescoping system be equal all around when in operation.
10
CHAIN / FLIGHTING
The drag conveyor chain is supplied installed in the drag conveyor.
A) For drag conveyors supplied installed in one piece it is only necessary to adjust the tension of the drag
chain, and put the unit into service after following the proper startup procedures.
B) For drag conveyors that are shipped in (2) or more lengths the drag conveyor must be assembled as
indicated by the match marking. The drag conveyor chain is installed in the drag conveyors trough
sections and will require connection using the supplied connector links. The drag conveyor chain is then
properly tightened using the chain takeup system, and the unit is ready for service after following the
proper startup procedures.
C) For those times when chain is shipped separate from the trough sections it is important to install the chain
with the UHMW paddle towards the discharge end on the bottom of the conveyor section. The drawings
shown on this page show the paddles fitted to the chain and in the direction of product flow to the
discharge.
D) When connecting the chain, ensure the take-up unit is at the minimum position to give the maximum
amount of adjustment. DO NOT over tighten chain, as this will result in excessive wear and vibration.
E) When replacing notched paddles in Two Deck Drag Conveyors it is important that you replace the
sweeper paddle (black in colour) with another sweeper paddle. The sweeper paddle ensures the drag
conveyor provides proper cleanout. (See Pg.8 -10)
UHMW Paddle
Should there be some delay between when this equipment was received and its eventual installation, any separate
parts should be carefully stored so they can be easily located and identified when required. Keep packing lists for
this reason. We cannot be responsible for the loss of items that are listed and included on our packing list.
The best method of installation depends on the size of the conveyor and its location with respect to other structures
and equipment. During installation, common sense is the most important guide.
Installation of conveyors must be carried out by qualified and experienced personnel.

INLETS
Drag Conveyor can be fitted with various types of inlets. A typical inlet can be one of the following:
Product Flow
A) “ L” iron double flanged frame that is welded to the lid section. This inlet can be installed on any
type of drag conveyors manufactured by MMS. The angle iron frame inlet does NOT prevent
product from coming in contact with the return paddles and therefore is not suitable for situations
that require gentle and/or clean handing of the product.
B) Divided flow inlets can be installed on any type of drag conveyors manufactured by MMS. Divided
flow inlets allow product to pass into the conveyor UNDER the return chain paddles. This system is
preferred to ensure gentle and/or clean handling of the product.
C) The Two Deck Drag uses the top section of the drag as the first point of material entry into the drag. The
material is then dragged towards the tail section until it reaches a discharge opening. The material passes from
the upper section into the lower section and then is transferred to the discharge end or to an intermediate
discharge. The lower section of the Two Deck Drag is deeper in profile than the upper section and this
prevents over feeding and possible plugging of the lower section.
13
D) Side Flow inlets are supplied on the Ultramax Drag Conveyor. The side flow inlet allows the product
to enter into the drag below the returning chain and paddle. (Pos. 2) With the product entering the drag
paddle under the returning chain this provides gentle handling and clean discharging of the product. IE:
No product touches the lower portion of drag conveyor chain.
Note: Pos. 1, 2 and 3 best suited for surge feeding from an under bin discharge.
When the internal flow control plate is raised to
the upper position this allows product to flood the
conveyor. Operating the drag conveyor in this
position allows the product to cover the paddle
Pos. 1
and the chain. The drag conveyor will deliver its
maximum capacity but will not provide Ultra
clean operation. Best suited for a single discharge
at the head section.

INTERMEDIATE DISCHARGE SLIDES/DOORS
All drag conveyors are supplied with a head section which is the end discharge of the conveyor.
Intermediate discharges can be supplied for all “U”, “□”, and bone style trough conveyors. A typical
discharge can be one of the following:

Note1: If the door does not seat properly when closed or sticks when opening then adjustment to the
Door Adjustment Linkage should correct the problem. Improper air pressure to the air cylinder can also
result in poor door operation.
Note: The required air pressure is 6 Bars (87PSI), air volume is 750 L/Min. (27Cu.Ft./Min.) for
50mm Dia. and 850 L/Min. (30Cu.Ft./Min.) for 63mm Dia. cylinder.
17
TAKE-UP CHAIN ADJUSTMENT SCREW
All drag conveyors are fitted with (2) take-up chain adjustment screws (Fig.8). It is important than when
tightening the drag conveyor chain and paddle system that these take-ups be adjusted equally and evenly.
To ensure that the shaft is in alignment prior to the locking of the adjustment screw a measuring tape is
to be used to verify its position (Fig. 9).

WARNING! : Some Drag conveyors are fitted with Pillow Block bearings and these bearings come
with external seals. DAMAGE TO THESE SEALS CAN OCCUR IF PROPER ATTENTION IS NOT
GIVEN TO THE EQUAL AND EVEN TIGHTENING OF THE TAKE-UPS.
WARNING! : Do not remove shims under the bearing housings. These shims ensure the shaft is in
proper alignment through the bearings. When replacing bearings ensure shims are properly re-installed
under the bearing housing.
18
CONVEYOR CHAIN ADJUSTMENT
Depending on the application/installation allowance the drag conveyor will be fitted with either a head chain
tightening system (Model 1) (Fig. 10). or a tail chain tightening system (Model 2) (Fig. 11).
To use the chain tightening system you must first release the Lock Nuts on the ends of the chain Take Up
units and on the top of the “Push Box” (Model 2 only). Using a suitable sized wrench / socket the Take Up
Adjustment screw can then be used to tighten / loosen the chain.

NOTE: ①.When tightening the chain it is important to maintain sprocket alignment by alternating between the adjusting nuts on the
take-up unit. Make sure the sprocket is parallel to casing sides and the chain tracks centrally on the sprocket when tightening the take-up at
final position.②.Do not overtighten the chain as this will create excessive stresses that may damage the equipment and shorten the
chain life.③.After adjustment to the chain ensure that the Lock Nuts on the Take Up units are tightened snugly.

Ultramax Drag Conveyor Plug Conditions
In order to protect drag conveyors from damage in plug situations the head section is fitted with an
anti-plugging door. This door is to be connected to a lever style limit switch (provided by others). See
page 19 and 20 of this manual.
NOTE:
The Ultramax Drag Conveyor will discharge 100% of dry free flowing material transferred to intermediate
discharges and therefore prevent carryover. There are however instances where sticky material will cling to
the paddle surface, and this small amount can be carried over the discharge hole. To allow for the most
sanitary conditions we recommend the head section discharge to be fitted with on overflow / carry over
spout. Do not use the head discharge to fill a bin. When the drag is running and delivering material to
the intermediate gates any stick on material that eventually falls off the paddle en-route to the head end
will be rejected (Fig. 12) out of the system. In the event of an overflow condition the head discharge will
prevent damage to the drag conveyor chain and paddles. The discharged material is then to be spouted
from the valve to a receptor such as a tote bag for reclaim purposes.
OVERFLOW/CARRYOVER
Figure. 12
WARNING:
The operator should be aware that in the event of a plug situation at one the multi-discharges the
material will be transferred to the head discharge section and be discarded. The material will be
discarded to the receptor or tote, and in effect the spout will perform as an anti-plugging device, and
prevent damage to the conveyor.
20
LEVELLING
It is very important to have the conveyor aligned. When the chain starts moving it is just like
a gyroscope it will align itself whether the conveyor is straight or not and that is why
paddles may sometimes climb on the side of the conveyor. There are a number of devices for
aligning a conveyor. The most common are the level, the stringline and the transit.
Whichever method is used, it will be necessary to check the “alignment” in two planes, 90
degrees apart.
For conveyor assemblies purchased as parts or merchandise, assemble as follows: Place conveyor troughs
in proper sequence with tail, inlet and head in proper location. Connect the trough flanges loosely. Do not
tighten bolts. Align the troughs using string line/level then tighten flange bolts. The drag chain is then
pulled into the trough along the bottom and around the head and tail sprockets for connection.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
The information given in this manual is based on standard procedures used in the industry and MMS
Engineering assumes no liability for their interpretation and use.
1. All foreign material must be removed from the drag conveyor before it is started.
2. Remove drive belts / sprockets and start motor to determine proper operational
direction of the equipment. (Fig. 13) Damage to equipment and injury to personnel is
possible if equipment is started in the wrong direction. Correct motor direction if
needed. For drag conveyors provided with direct drives this procedure requires extra
caution as per item 5.
3. Before operation, close all clean-out slides and inspection panels and ensure all drive
guards are in place.
4. Start the conveyor motor and listen carefully for any abnormal noises or operations, in
the drive and the drag conveyor.
5. Never attempt to remove covers or inspection windows or put hands into the machine
while it is in operation.
Figure 13.
ATTENTION
Note: All new installations using one or several pieces of equipment should be “flushed clean” with corn or some
other abrasive type products. This flushing cleans out unwanted debris that may be lodged in the equipment. Flushing
will also shine the steel body of the equipment to ensure less friction and improved product flow.
Note: When a conveyor is new or after it remains idle for a season it should go through a “break–in” period to
smooth and polish the casing interior. This allows the product to slide inside the conveyor with a minimum of friction
resistance and thus obtain maximum conveyor capacity. To “break –in” a conveyor it must be run at partial
capacity until a shine appears on the inside casing. Running a conveyor at full capacity prior to “break-in” will
almost certainly result in the conveyor choking and possible equipment damage. Observe for unusual noises,
overheating of bearing or drive misalignment. Should any of these occur, re-check the installation instructions and
take the necessary corrective steps. Chain tightness should be checked every 24 hours of operation until the initial
stretch has been eliminated.
22
When operating the conveyor, the following should be carried out in order to avoid an unsafe or
hazardous condition.
1. Conveyors should not be operated unless they are completely enclosed and power
transmission guards are in place. If the conveyor is to be opened for inspection,
cleaning or observation, the motor driving the conveyor should be locked out
electrically so that it cannot be restarted by anyone unless all lids are closed and
all other guards are in place.
2. Do not use a rod or stick to poke the material into the conveyor.
3. Do not walk on top of the conveyor and do not place hands or feet in any of the
conveyor openings.
4. Keep areas around the conveyor and the drive unit free and clear at all times.
6. Shut off drag conveyors when they are not handling product. Operating drag
conveyors with no product creates unnecessary noise and wear and tear on
paddles and trough.
23
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
THE MOTOR ISOLATION SWITCH MUST BE OFF BEFORE CARRYING OUT
MAINTENANCE WORK OF ANY KIND
It is good practice to inspect drag conveyors monthly for excessively worn or damaged
components. Pay particular attention to the intake and discharge points, transmission parts,
bearing lubrication and the conveyor chain system. Ensure that all safety guards and lids
are in place. Never operate a drag conveyor with a safety guard off or a lid open.
An inspection schedule should be established in order to ensure that the equipment is in good operating
condition at all times. Here are some of the things which should be inspected and maintained regularly.
1. Inspect chain and paddles for loose bolts and damaged paddles (replace missing and damaged
paddles). Check general chain condition.
2. Paddles in Two Deck Drag Conveyor above 400mm in width have notched paddles to reduce
friction and noise. A sweeper paddle(s) with NO notch is provided to ensure the conveyor
properly cleans out. When changing paddles it is important that you replace a sweeper paddle
with another sweeper paddle. The sweeper paddle is black in colour.
3. Check chain tension. Remove the necessary links if the chain take-up is at its maximum.
6. Check gearboxes regularly for sufficient oil and signs of leakage. Keep breathers CLEAN.
7. Check bearings for sufficient lubrication and evidence of overheating. Do not overgrease!
8. Check all sheave / sprocket and drive attaching parts for security.
24
LUBRICATION
The ball bearings of flange bearings on each end of the shaft should be greased at least every 3 months.
Conveyors supplied with SNL Pillow Blocks require that the grease be changed annually. Oil level in
transmission gearboxes should be checked monthly and renewed annually. Never overfill a gearbox with
oil. Fill gearbox to lower fill plug as noted in the gearbox manual. The transmission chain requires light
greasing monthly. The conveyor drag chain does not require any lubrication. Do not over grease
bearings as this can damage the bearing seals.
GEARBOX INFORMATION
The gearbox information supplied with equipment has been shown in specification sheet. We have also
included a copy of the gearbox operating instructions. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that
the proper operating procedures governing the use / maintenance of the gearbox be applied. For more
detailed information on the gearbox please review the manual at the back of this binder.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The information given in this manual is based on standard procedures used in the industry and MMS
Engineering assumes no liability for their interpretation and use.
Should there be some delay between when this equipment was received and its eventual installation,
any separate parts should be carefully stored so they can be easily located and identified when
required. Keep packing lists for this reason. We cannot be responsible for the loss of items that are
listed and included on our packing list.
The best method of installation depends on the size of the valve and its location with respect to other
structures and equipment. During installation, common sense is the most important guide.
Installation of Basket Valves must be carried out by qualified and experienced personnel.
INLET
The inlet is provided on one end of the Basket Valve and is positioned to ensure that the incoming
product is delivered to the centreline of the Basket Valve.
DISCHARGES
There are two discharges on the Basket Valve. The position of the basket determines the product
flow. Be sure to check this position before moving product through the valve.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
The information given in this manual is based on standard procedures used in the industry and
MMS Engineering assumes no liability for their interpretation and use.
1. All foreign material must be removed from the Basket Valve before it is started.
2. Remove cylinder or actuator and cycle basket to ensure free movement.
3. Before operation, close both inspection ports and ensure they are locked.
4. On start up listen carefully for any abnormal noises or operations, in the activator
and the valve.
5. Never attempt to remove covers or put hands into the valve while it is in operation.
Figure 1.
ATTENTION
Note: All new installations using one or several pieces of equipment should be “flushed clean” with
corn or some other abrasive type products. This flushing cleans out unwanted debris that may be
lodged in the equipment. Flushing will also shine the steel discharge and inlet of the equipment to
ensure less friction and improved product flow.
Note: When a Basket Valve is new or after it remains idle for a season it should go through a
“break–in” period to smooth and polish the casing interior. This allows the product to slide inside
the valve discharge with a minimum of friction resistance and thus obtain maximum capacity. To
“break –in” a valve it must be run at partial capacity until a shine appears on the inside casing.
Running a valve at full capacity prior it “break-in” will almost certainly result in the valve
choking and possible equipment damage. Observe for unusual noises, actuator or cylinder
misalignment. Should any of these occur, re-check the installation instructions and take the
necessary corrective steps.
11
When operating the Basket Valve, the following should be carried out in order to avoid an unsafe or
hazardous condition.
1. Basket Valve should not be operated unless they are completely enclosed and
guards are in place. If the valve is to be opened for inspection, cleaning or
observation, the actuator / cylinder should be locked out electrically so that it
cannot be restarted by anyone unless all lids are closed and all other guards
are in place.
2. Do not use a rod or stick to poke the material into the valve.
3. Do not walk on top of the valve and do not place hands or feet in any of the
valve openings.
4. Keep areas around the valve and the actuator / cylinder unit free and clear at
all times.
5. Do not overload valve. Do not exceed the material density or rate of flow
for which the valve was designed.
12
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
THE ELECTRICAL ISOLATION SWITCH MUST BE OFF BEFORE
CARRYING OUT MAINTENANCE WORK OF ANY KIND
An inspection schedule should be established in order to ensure that the equipment is in good
operating condition at all times. Here are some of the things which should be inspected and
maintained regularly.
1. Inspect the bolt system that holds the internal basket to the valve housing. Tighten and replace
bolts as necessary.
BASKET LIFE
Replace the Basket Valve when it has worn to the point that the bottom plate has worn 50% of its
original thickness.
1) Insure all foreign material is removed from the valve and surface coatings are in good order.
2) All bearings and drives are lubricated and protected per manufacturer’s instructions.
3) The valve is protected from weather, moisture and extreme temperatures. Do not use plastic or
other coverings which promote condensation under the covering.

INLET
The inlet is provided on one end of the Rotary Scalper and is positioned to ensure that the incoming
product is delivered to the centreline of the Rotary Scalper turning reel.
DISCHARGES
There are two discharges on the Rotary Scalper. The discharge for foreign material (oversize only) is
located at the end of the scalper. The centreline discharge is for the “scalped” clean product.
LEVELLING
It is very important to have the Rotary Scalper mounted level. The screen on the inside
of the scalper frame is mounted on a set angle to provide proper cleaning at a specified
capacity rate. It is necessary to check the “alignment” of the scalper body in two planes,
90 degrees apart using a level.
7
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
The information given in this manual is based on standard procedures used in the industry and
MMS Engineering assumes no liability for their interpretation and use.
1. All foreign material must be removed from the Rotary Scalper before it is started.
2. Remove drive belts / sprockets and start motor to determine proper operational
direction of the equipment. (Fig. 1) Damage to equipment and injury to personnel is
possible if equipment is started in the wrong direction. Correct motor direction if
needed. For Rotary Scalpers provided with direct drives this procedure requires extra
caution as per item 5.
3. Before operation, close all clean-out slides and inspection panels and ensure all drive
guards are in place.
4. Start the scalper motor and listen carefully for any abnormal noises or operations, in
the drive and the Rotary Scalper.
5. Never attempt to remove covers or inspection windows or put hands into the
machine while it is in operation.
Figure 1.
ATTENTION
Note: All new installations using one or several pieces of equipment should be “flushed clean” with
corn or some other abrasive type products. This flushing cleans out unwanted debris that may be
lodged in the equipment. Flushing will also shine the steel discharge and inlet of the equipment to
ensure less friction and improved product flow.
8
Note: When a Rotary Scalper is new or after it remains idle for a season it should go through a
“break–in” period to smooth and polish the casing interior. This allows the product to slide inside the
scalper discharge hopper with a minimum of friction resistance and thus obtain maximum capacity. To
“break –in” a scalper it must be run at partial capacity until a shine appears on the inside casing.
Running a scalper at full capacity prior it “break-in” will almost certainly result in the scalper
choking and possible equipment damage. Observe for unusual noises, overheating of bearing or
drive misalignment. Should any of these occur, re-check the installation instructions and take the
necessary corrective steps.
Note: When a Rotary Scalper is new or after it remains idle for a season it should be opened and the
screen checked to ensure it is intact and not plugged with debris.
When operating the Rotary Scalper, the following should be carried out in order to avoid an unsafe or
hazardous condition.
1. Rotary Scalper should not be operated unless they are completely enclosed and
power transmission guards are in place. If the scalper is to be opened for
inspection, cleaning or observation, the motor driving the scalper should be
locked out electrically so that it cannot be restarted by anyone unless all lids are
closed and all other guards are in place.
2. Do not use a rod or stick to poke the material into the Rotary Scalper.
3. Do not walk on top of the scalper and do not place hands or feet in any of the
scalper openings.
4. Keep areas around the scalper and the drive unit free and clear at all times.
6. Shut off Rotary Scalpers when they are not handling product. Operating Rotary
Scalpers with no product creates unnecessary noise and wear and tear.

Roller Chain Drives
Installation
To obtain maximum service-life and efficiency from a chain drive, it is necessary that certain
precautions in installation be taken. Chain drive installation is relatively simple and good results may
be obtained when the following conditions are met:
1. The roller chain, sprockets, and other components are in good condition.
2. The sprockets are properly aligned.
3. Provision is made for adequate lubrication.
4. The chain is correctly tensioned.
Condition of Components
Shafting, bearings, and foundations should be supported rigidly to maintain the initial alignment.
Roller chain should be free of grit and dirt. Wash chain in kerosene when required. Relubricate!
Drive Alignment
Misalignment results in uneven loading across the width of the chain and may cause roller linkplate and
sprocket tooth wear. Drive alignment involves two things: parallel shaft alignment and axial sprocket
alignment.
1. Shafts should be parallel and level. This condition may be readily checked by the use of a
feeler bar, and a machinist's level. It there is axial movement of the shaft (as in the case of an
electric motor), lock the shaft in the normal running position before aligning the sprockets.
2. Sprocket axial alignment can be checked with a straight edge which will extend across the
finished sides of the two sprockets. Normally, it is good practice to align the sprockets as close
to the shaft bearing as possible. For long center distances, use a taut cord, or wire long enough
to extend beyond each of the sprockets.
Recheck all preceding adjustments for alignment and make certain all setscrews, bolts and nuts are
tight. Fit chain around both sprockets and bring the free ends together on one sprocket for connection,
The sprocket teeth will locate the chain end links. Install the connecting link, and connecting link
coverplate, and the spring clip or coffer pins. On larger pitch chains or heavy multiple strand, it may
be necessary to lock the sprockets for this operation. When press fit coverplates are used, be careful
not to drive the plate on so far as to grip the roller links. Stiff joints can result if this is done. On drives
with long spans, it may be necessary to support the chain with a plank or bar as the connection is
made.
10
Chain Tension
Check chain tension to be certain the slack span has 4-6% mid-span movement in horizontal drives
and 2-3% in vertical drives.

BELT/CHAIN AND BUCKETS
Bucket elevator belts (Fig. 3) are shipped prepunched. A chain type elevator will be supplied with the correct
bucket attachments suitably spaced. Whether the buckets are fitted to the belt or chain before the elevator is
installed will depend on site preference. Note: When installing cups on a belt that is already in the elevator,
you must install (2) cups skip (10) spaces and then repeat. Using this process will ensure the belt does not get
too heavy on one side and therefore difficult to turn and hold in place. Tighten bucket bolts carefully and
consistently. Because of the “softness” of various belting materials, the assembler has to rely on common
sense to determine when a bucket bolt is tight enough. (Fig. 4)

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The information give in this manual is based on standard procedures used in the industry and MMS
Engineering assumes no liability for their interpretation and use.
Should there be some delay between when this equipment was received and its eventual installation,
any separate parts should be carefully stored so they can be easily located and identified when required.
Keep packing lists for this reason. We cannot be responsible for the loss of items that are listed and
included on our packing list.
The best method of installation depends on the size of the elevator and its location with respect to other
structures and equipment. During installation, common sense is the most important guide.
Installation of elevators must be carried out by qualified and experienced personnel.
Access Access
Door Door
Take care when lifting an elevator with a distributor valve mounted to the elevator head
discharge. The elevator becomes “top heavy” and will want to roll over. We recommend a
temporary stabilizer fastened at the bottom end of the section being hoisted to prevent roll
over.
The center of balance of an elevator may also change as it is being raised.
Method 1 Involves assembling the elevator completely on the ground and then lifting it up into position.
This method is not recommended for elevators longer than about 20 meters. If the elevator is to be
supported by guy wires, they should be fitted to the elevator before it is lifted.
METHOD 1
14
Method 2 Involves assembling the elevator in (2) or more sections.
Install the boot and fasten firmly into place ready to receive the first section(s) of legstock. Dependent on
accessibility the next section(s) of legstock can be installed one at a time or in a series of previously bolted
sections. The elevator must be supported at appropriate levels to a rigid structure or guy wired as the
elevator legstock sections are erected. Once the legstock lower sections are firmly in place the upper
section which consists of the head and an acceptable number of legstock sections can be raised and set in
place atop the lower sections of legstock.
NOTE: A qualified elevator installer will determine the appropriate levels to provide bracing in
accordance with the elevator height and available support.
NOTE: An acceptable number of legstock sections to be raised with the head section must be
determined by a qualified elevator installer. The crane operator must be included in this decision to
ensure the safe operating conditions of the crane.
METHOD 2.
Method 3 is used for an elevator when fitted in a support tower. The elevator and associated parts are fitted
into the tower prior to lifting into position.
NOTE: The details for a safe installation of on elevator as described in Method 2 apply to this type of
installation.
METHOD 3.
15
PLUMBING AND ALIGNMENT
A) It is very important to have the elevator plumb. When the belt starts
moving it is just like a gyroscope – it will plumb itself whether the elevator is
plumb or not. That is why a belt may sometimes rub on the side of the elevator.
B) There are a number of devices for plumbing an elevator. The most common are
the level and transit. Whichever method is used, it will be necessary to check
the “plumbness” in two planes, 90 degrees apart.
NOTE: Drop a plumb line from the head pulley to boot pulley, to assure the
alignment is correct.
C) Relevant to the height and accessibility of the elevator, it is recommended that
the plumbing of the elevator be carried out at various stages of the installation.
Consideration should be given to the fixing in place of the elevator until the
elevator is completely installed because alterations to the finish plumb
alignment may be required. Once the elevator is given the proper alignment it
can be permanently fixed in position. Careful planning in the plumbing and
alignment of the elevator will ensure quiet trouble free operation.
D) Casings must be braced or anchored to a rigid structure every 12m (40’),
and not more than 1.5 m (5’), below the head section (Fig.9). If a rigid
structure is not available, guy wires may be used as shown in (Fig.10).
BELT INSTALLATION
The method used to fit the belt and buckets depends on each individual situation. It is “easier” to fit the
buckets onto the belt before it is pulled into the elevator. However, it may not be practical or safe to do
it in that manner. The most common way is to pull the belt in first then install the buckets (Fig. 8)
illustrates this method.

BELT CONNECTION
A) The elevator belt can be connected using the belt overlap system. (Fig. 11) (See Next Page)
---The belt provided is supplied with adequate length to allow for on overlap of the belt for 3 to 6
cups dependent on the size of the elevator.
---Please follow these recommendations:
Model 7520 (3) cups up to 25m (80’) and (4) cups in excess of 25m.
Model 11624 (4) cups up to 25m(80’) and (5) cups in excess of 25m.
Model 14736 (5) cups up to 25m (80’) and (6) cups in excess of 25m.
NOTE: It is recommended, especially in cold environments, that the belt be draped over the head
pulley and allowed to hang for at least 24 hours. This will relieve stresses resulting from being
rolled up and tend to achieve initial stretch common to belting.
1) Ensure the belt adjustment take up units on the boot are raised to their uppermost position.
2) Accurately square one end of the belt.
3) With a cable tackle or similar tensioner pull the ends of the belt together and overlap.
4) When overlapping ensure that the belt is positioned to ride softly, over the head pulley.
( Fig.11)
Recommended that you retighten the belt after 24hrs prior to doing the final connection to
remove stretch and then do splice connection.
5) Tighten belt and align cup belt holes and then install cups to splice the belt. (Fig. 12)
6) Remove belt tensioning device.
Note: If may be necessary to drill new holes in one of the overlapping belts to maximize the
tensioning of the belt.
B) Mechanical belt joining systems such as “Gripwell” and Maxi-splice” can be supplied. (Fig. 13)
The system supplied will depend on the elevator capacity, belt and loading. Whatever mechanical
belt joining system is used, the method of joining a belt is basically the same, and the following
procedures are recommended.
Note: It is recommended, especially in cold environments, that the belt be draped over the head
pulley and allowed to hang for at least 24 hours. This will relieve stresses resulting from being
rolled up and tend to achieve initial stretch common to belting.
1) Ensure belt adjustment is slackened off as much as possible.
2) Accurately square one end of belt.
3) Space out joiners across the end of the belt and mark hole positions across the belt and 80mm
in from the end of the belt. Drill slightly undersized holes.
4) With a cable tackle or other tensioner, pull the ends of belt together, overlapping the ends.
19
Recommended that you retighten the belt after 24hrs prior to doing the final connection to
remove stretch and then do splice connection.
5) Accurately position and align “long” end of belt over the squared and drilled end. Mark hole
positions in “long” and through the existing holes on the “short” end. Drill holes.
6) Tension belt to cause “slackness” in the ends of the belt, so fasteners can be fitted. Tighten
fasteners evenly. Remove belt tensioning device.
Center Plate
Figure 11. Belt Overlap Figure 12. Figure 13. Mechanical Belt Splice
BELT ADJUSTMENT
Tighten the elevator belt by adjusting the boot pulley take-up threads to move the pulley down. Change
from side to side until the belt becomes reasonably tight. You can check for tightness, through the leg
inspection door, by pulling the belt towards you. The belt will “feel” tight when it wants to “spring
back” as you try to pull it towards you.
Be sure the motor isolation switch is locked off and tagged before this check is done.
Do not over tighten the belt with the takeup units as it may stretch excessively when
in use.

Elevator Dust Control
Elevators both standard and self cleaning models are fabricated products that have been manufactured,
and assembled with tolerances as close as this type of manufacturing permits.
A). The head section are welded where practical and the bolted section of the main body is bolted
and silicone sealed. The top section referred to as the bonnet has a male and female connection
where the two halves meet. This flange is then covered with a wire reinforced weather strip to
prevent the ingress of foul weather conditions and the egress of product.
B). The legstock casing is solid welded both on the trunk, and at the end flanges to prevent ingress of
foul weather conditions, and egress of product. During assembly the end flanges are silicone
sealed, and then connected with adequate bolts to prevent leakage.
C). The boot sections are welded where practical, and bolted sections are silicone sealed. To assist in
sealing the elevator boots from the leakage of product in the standard boots we have installed
UHMW seals around the boot shafts, and a belting strip mounted on the inside of the boot above
the end cleanout doors. The self cleaning models are fitted with a gasket where the telescoping
section of the self cleaning boot and the fixed section contact. That seal combined with UHMW
shaft seals, and a double plate seal provided on the bottom clean out door are adequate to prevent
leaks under most conditions.
The elevator boot is not a pressure vessel and this is noted in the manual on page 5 item #23. Since it
is not a pressure vessel the boot cannot achieve the type of seal that would be attributed to that of a
pressure vessel. Excessive air pressure in a boot in combination with the product will create a dusty
environment both inside and outside the boot.
Excessive dust and air conditions in the boot, in the elevator trunk, and head discharge section also
present an opportunity for an explosion under certain conditions. Excessive air particularly in the boot
section will expel dust through the gaskets and shaft seals. It is the responsibility of the owner and or
installer to provide relief for the air and dust in an elevator. This air relief is generally introduced at the
boot, in the legstock casing, at the head section or in all three locations. The amount and type of
equipment used to provide the air and dust relief is relevant to the wishes of the customer, and/or the
safety standard requirements of the company or the local authorities.
21
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
The information given in this manual is based on standard procedures used in the industry and
MMS Engineering assumes no liability for their interpretation and use.
1. All foreign material must be removed from the bucket elevator before it is
started.
2. Remove drive belts / sprockets and start motor to determine proper operational
direction of the equipment. (Fig. 14) Damage to equipment and injury to
personnel is possible if equipment is started in the wrong direction. Correct motor
direction as needed. For bucket elevators with direct drives this procedure
requires extra caution as per items 3 and 4.
Figure 14.
Note: All new installations using one or several pieces of equipment should be
“flushed clean” with corn or some other abrasive type products. This flushing cleans
out unwanted debris that may be lodged in the equipment. Flushing will also shine
the steel body of the equipment to ensure less friction and improved product flow.
3. Never attempt to remove covers or inspection windows to put hands into the
machine while it is in operation.
4. Before operation, close all clean-out slides and inspection panels and ensure all
drive guards are in place.
5. Start the elevator motor and listen carefully for any abnormal noise or operations.
6. Initial start up of elevator should commence with several short jogs gradually
lengthening in duration without material.
22
7. Check the belt is tracking correctly at both the head and boot. If the belt needs
tracking at the head pulley, adjust it before “fine tuning” the boot pulley tracking.
To track the HEAD pulley, jack the bearing/s as required and shim to hold in
place. RAISE the bearing on the side the belt is running towards. Next, track belt
around the BOOT pulley. This is done by LOWERING the bearing on the side
the belt is running. The belt should run in the middle of the head and tail pulleys.
8. For elevators using gravity takeups add weight (concrete or steel stampings) to
weight box as required for smooth operation. Weight must be uniformly
distributed in the weight box and sufficient to remove slack from the belt. The
takeup units located to each side of the weight box are to assist in tracking the
elevator belt. There are also screw takeups one on each side of the boot to adjust
the boot shaft and pulley for tracking of the elevator belt.
9. Track belt by making small adjustments and then observe results.
10. Measure and record the no load motor current.
11. Gradually begin feeding material to the elevator. Increase feed rate slowly until
reaching design capacity. Empty elevator. LOCK OUT ALL POWER. Check for
loose fasteners. Check alignment of the elevator belt.
12. Elevator boots come with a boot inlet chute. This chute is designed to properly
direct the flow product into the elevator cup. (Fig. 15) Any other inlets for
product that are installed on the elevator must be designed to ensure that it is fed
evenly and central to avoid forcing the belt to one side. Improper filling of the
cups can make it difficult to track the belt and will affect capacity. (Fig. 16)
13. During normal operations, avoid starting and stopping any elevator when loaded
with material. Elevator should be checked for loose fasteners and alignment
at least once a month.
23
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
THE MOTOR ISOLATION SWITCH MUST BE OFF BEFORE CARRYING OUT
MAINTENANCE WORK OF ANY KIND
It is good practice to inspect bucket elevators monthly for excessively worn or damaged
components. Pay particular attention to the transmission parts, bearing lubrication and
the elevator belt and cups. Ensure that all safety guards and lids are in place. Never
operate a bucket elevator with a safety guard off or a lid open.
An inspection schedule should be established in order to ensure that the equipment is in good operating
condition at all times. Here are some of the things which should be inspected and maintained regularly.
1. Inspect belt and cups for loose bolts, damaged cups (replace damaged and missing cups). Check
general belt condition and belt splice.
2. Check belt tension. At some point when the take up system has no further ability to tension the belt
it will be necessary to disconnect the belt at the splice and re-tension using a come-a-long or other
tensioner device.
3. Check cup wiper in the head discharge to ensure it is within 20mm of the leading edge of the cup.
4. Inspect the transmission v-belts or chain for tension and condition.
5. Check gearboxes regularly for sufficient oil and signs of leakage. Keep breathers CLEAN.
6. Check bearings for sufficient lubrication and evidence of overheating. Do not overgrease!
7. Check all sheave / sprocket and drive attaching parts for security.
8. Check all hardware and tighten as required.
LUBRICATION
The ball bearings of flange bearings on each end of the shaft should be greased at least every 3 months.
Bucket elevators supplied with SNL Pillow Blocks require that the grease be changed annually. Oil
level in transmission gearboxes should be checked monthly and renewed annually. Never overfill a
gearbox with oil. Fill gearbox to lower fill plug as noted in the gearbox manual. The transmission chain requires
light greasing monthly. Do not over grease bearings as this can damage the bearing seals.
GEARBOX INFORMATION
The gearbox information supplied with equipment has been shown in the specification sheet. We
have also included a copy of the gearbox operating instructions. It is the responsibility of the owner to
ensure that the proper operating procedures governing the use / maintenance of the gearbox be
applied. For more detailed information on the gearbox please review the manual at the back of this
binder.
24
DRIVE CHAIN AND “V” BELT MAINTENANCE
The supplied equipment is fitted with either a direct drive, chain drive or “V” belt drive.
1) Ensure all foreign material is removed from the elevator and surface coatings are in good order.
2) All bearings and drives are lubricated and protected per manufacturer’s instructions.
4) The elevator is protected from weather, moisture, and extreme temperatures. Do not use plastic or
other coverings which promote condensation under the covering.
5) All exposed metal surfaces are coated with a rust preventative oil that is applied per instructions.
6) Prior to start-up, inspection and service instructions contained in this manual must be performed.
25
Installation of Taper-Bore Style Roller Bearings
Before mounting spherical taper-bore roller bearings on taper-shaft fits or adapters, the internal
clearance should be checked and recorded. The measurement is made on one sided of the bearing only,
recommended practice is to rest the bearing upright on a table insert the feeler gauge between the top
roller and the inside of the outer ring.
Mounting Procedure
1. Check internal clearance between the rollers and the outer race on the open side. Feeder gauge must
be inserted far enough to contact entire roller surface.
2. Lightly oil surface of bearing bore and install on taper shaft or taper adapter sleeve without lock
washer.
3. Check internal clearance as nut tightened. Nut must be tightened until internal clearance is reduced
the amount shown in the table below.
4. Remove nut, install lock washer, and retighten nut. Secure lock washer.
The above values are for most common applications. For special cases, such as high temperature
equipment, bearings on hollow specifications and instructions for special applications.
26
Mounting SNL Housings with Double-lip Seals
Before starting installation work, the following instructions should be carefully
read:
1. Ensure that the environment is clean.
2. Check the dimensional and form accuracy of the shaft sealing.
3. Check that the surface roughness of the support surface R2</=12.5 um. The
flatness (planicity) tolerance should be to IT7. For moderate demands IT8 may
be satisfactory.
4. Position the housing on the support surface. Fit the attachment bolts but do not
tighten them.
NB. When relubrication is required, the housing must be positioned with the grease
nipple at the opposite side of the lock nut.
5. Insert one seal half in each of the grooves in the housing base. Fill the space
between the two sealing lips with grease. If the housing is to be used at the end
of a shaft, insert an end cover at one side instead of the seal half.
6. Mount the bearing on the shaft-either directly on a stepped shaft or using an
adapter sleeve. Completely fill the bearing with grease. The remainder of the
recommended grease quantity should be put in the housing base at the sides
(Table 1).
7. Lay the shaft with bearing in the housing base.
8. Put one locating ring (when needed) at each side of the bearing.
9. Carefully align the housing base. Vertical markings at the middle of the side
faces and ends of the housing base can facilitate this. Then lightly tighten the
attachment bolts.
10. The remaining seal halves should be inserted in the seal grooves in the housing
cap and the space between the sealing lips filled with grease.
11. The housing cap should be placed over the base and the cap bolts (to join cap
and base) tightened to the torque specified to Table 2. The cap and base of one
housing are not interchangeable with those of other housings. The cap and base
should be checked to see that they bear the same identification.
12. Fully tighten the attachment bolts in the housing base. Recommended tightening
torques are given in Table 3.

SAFETY
・ Your Cam Clutch is a high quality, sophisticated unit which should be handled by experienced engineers
only.
・ For safety purposes, make sure this manual is easily accessible by the user at all times.

NO!
YES!
Do not use a tapered key!
Only a parallel key is recommended.
1. Before installation, check if the direction of shaft rotation is the same as the inner race of BS cam clutch, which is
shown by an arrow mark on the inner race end.
2. Securely install the torque arm to the BS Cam Clutch using furnished torque arm pins and cotter pins. Refer to
'Page 4: Installation of Torque Arm'.
3. Recommended fit of bore to shaft is H8 (Clutch Bore) to h8 (Shaft) or H7 to h7 (Refer to Table below).
Interference fit and shrink fit are prohibited for clutch fixing.
4. When mounting the BS cam clutch, apply pressure only to a clutch inner race. When tapping the inner race,
use a soft hammer in order to avoid damage on the clutch inner race end. Do not hit the clutch side plate,
labyrinth plate or bolts with hammer.
5. Only a parallel key is recommended for clutch fixing. Do not use a tapered key. And there must be clearance
between clutch keyway and key top. The key should be in accordance with ISO R773 (DIN 6885.1) or ANSI B17,
1-1967 (R 1998).
6. Shaft is best machined with ‘lead in’ of -0.1mm x 15% of the backstop width to facilitate the backstop being
mounted with the keyway protruding into the ‘lead in’ for easy alignment.
7. Check key will slide through the backstop keyway and corner radius is clear for fitment.
8. In order to suppress the temperature rise of BS backstops and to extend the lubricant life, installation of a
protective cover against direct sunlight is recommended.

INSTALLATION
Torque Arm
Torque Arm Fixing
The end of torque arm shall be restrained to prevent rotation by a set of angle iron. (See illustration below).
But the torque arm shall be free axially and radially in order to prevent the clutch from any load induced
by misalignment and distortion.
Restraining brackets of torque arm shall be bolted rather than welded to the conveyor frame in order to
install the torque arm correctly, and allow 2-5mm clearance between torque arm and restraining bracket.

LUBRICATION
Maintenance &
Check Items for Installation
Make sure the cam clutch is installed under an environment which the ambient temperature is within the range of
-40ºC to 65 ºC.
Check if the clutch is lubricated properly and/or installed correctly by monitoring the cam clutch running
temperature, normally it would not exceed 100ºC.
Note: BS-F operating temperatures may surge at maximum overrunning speed. An adequate cooling device is
required if BS-F operating temperatures exceed 100°C due to the heat emission of the driven equipment.
Noise Check
During operation if noise is heard by a noise-accentuator stick as continuous rumbling sound, this is normal
and of no concern. If an abnormal variation in sound is heard the following points could be the cause:-
(a) Installation problem with torque arm.
(b) Extreme wear caused by poor lubrication.
(c) Dust or metal pieces contaminating the grease.
(d) Damage to inner race by extreme pressure at key fixing.
(e) Internal dislodged by PRESSING AGAINST outer race
Grease lubrication
Grease is packed in the clutch before shipment but requires periodic maintenance as specified below.
Maintenance
• Periodic change of grease is necessary after 7,500 to 10,000 hours of operation. The actual
operation time between changes should be decided after considering the operating conditions.
Inject new grease after draining and cleaning inside of the BS Cam Clutch. The detailed procedure
is described on the next page. When the grease is to be changed, be sure to drain and clean the
inside of the BS Cam Clutch beforehand.
• Grease sampling should be taken @ regular 12 month intervals depending on environmental &
contamination conditions. Additional grease replacement might be needed during sampling if
excessive liquid is removed, replace at least 50% more by volume than lost. Removal of breather will
provide access to fill the CORRECT grease type.
5
Cleaning
• Wipe off dust around plugs.
• Remove two plugs one on the top, another on the bottom of the clutch.
• Rotate the shaft and pour cleaning oil (Kerosene) into the top plug in order to drain mixture of old
grease and poured cleaning oil through the bottom plug.
• Quantity of cleaning oil necessary is : one charge about I litre for BS85F to BS225F
one charge about 3 litres for BS250F to BS360F
one charge about 6 litres for BS425F to BS465F
Important : After draining of the mixture of oil and old grease, stop the shaft rotation, otherwise
damage could result.
• Attach the bottom plug and remove the side (level) plug. Pour cleaning oil again until the oil flows
out from the side (level) plug.
• Attach the side plug and rotate the shaft for 10 minutes (this is to drain old, remaining grease inside).
Stop the rotation of the shaft and drain the contents.
• Repeat this procedure more than two times until all grease is completely removed.
Note: During shaft rotating, be sure to keep pouring oil. Before stopping oil supply, stop rotation of
the shaft. If the clutch is rotated without lubricant, it may cause dry contact in the clutch.
Grease Injection
• Remove two plugs – one on top, another on bottom. Attach a grease nipple (thread size PT ¼) on
the top hole of the clutch.
• Inject grease by a grease gun until the grease comes out from the bottom plug hole.
During this procedure the shaft shall be stationary, until recommended quantity is injected.
Remove the grease nipple and replace the original top and bottom plugs. Tighten all plugs of the
clutch.
• After completion of grease change, rotate the shaft for 2 hours for test run in order to get good
lubricating condition, during this test run do not apply hold back torque on the clutch.

There is the single line of Cam cage in BS300HS and BS350HS.
2
Installation and Usage
1. Recommended shaft tolerance is shown below.
2. Before installation, verify that the direction of inner race rotation (shown by the arrow on the end face of inner race) is
same as the shaft rotating direction of conveyor
3. Securely install the torque arm to Cam Clutch using bolts with a strength class of 10.9 grade or higher. Make sure the
surface of torque arm that contacts the end face of outer race is flat and free of dust in order to get enough frictional
force.
4. Apply pressure only on the end face of inner race when installing the BS Cam Clutch onto the shaft. Do not hit the inner
race directly with a hammer or apply pressure on the outer race, oil seal, or grease fitting.
5. Always use a parallel key for installation onto the shaft and then fix the BS Cam Clutch to the shaft with the end plate.
Never use a tapered key, otherwise the BS Cam Clutch will be damaged. The key should be in accordance with ANSI
B17, 1-1967 (R 1998).
6. When installing models BS160HS or BS160 and above (grease lubrication types), place one the four socket plugs
underneath the Cam Clutch. This will allow for easy drainage of the grease during maintenance.
7. The end tip of torque arm will swing to some extent while the conveyor is operating. Support the torque arm end tip only in
the direction of rotation, but be sure to allow it a certain amount of free movement axially. (Refer to installation diagram).
The Cam Clutch sustains damage if the torque arm end tip is fixed securely.
8. A single torque arm is sufficient for models BS30 to BS200, BS160HS and BS200HS. One torque arm on each side is
required for models BS220HS to BS450HS and BS220 to BS450. It is recommended to use the standardized torque arm
and safety cover for the BS Cam Clutch.
2. For models BS160R to BS450R, apply grease in the space between the dust cover and the seal supporter.
(The grease prevents the dust from entering.)
3
4. Check whether the rotational direction of the conveyor shaft corresponds to that of the BS Cam Clutch viewed from
the oil reservoir (the overrunning direction is shown as an arrow on the end face of the inner race.
5. Securely install the torque arm to the BS Cam Clutch using bolts with a strength class of 10.9 grade or higher.
Make sure the surface of the torque arm which contacts the end face of the outer race is flat and free of dust, to
ensure enough friction force is achieved.
Installation
1. Pre-insert the V-ring (except models from BS65R to BS135R) into the conveyor shaft in the correct direction.
2. Securely install the BS Cam Clutch onto the shaft. Apply pressure only on the end face of the inner race when
inserting the BS Cam Clutch onto the shaft. Do not hit the inner race directly with a hammer or apply pressure on
the outer race.
3. Apply the sealant supplied, to the end face of the inner race and packing, and fix the BS Cam Clutch unit to the
conveyor shaft with the end plate. At same time, use the seal washer on each bolt to prevent oil leakage.
4. After cleaning the inside of the oil reservoir, apply the sealant on the mating face of the oil reservoir. Place the oil
Level gauge vertically (red line is bottom, and blue is top), for model BS65R to BS200R; install the oil
reservoir to the end face of the outer race with the bolts, while for models from BS220R and above; install the oil
reservoir to the seal supporter using the bolts.
Carefully prevent dust from penetrating the Cam Clutch or oil reservoir.
5. Press the pre-inserted V-ring entirely so that the face of the dust cover contacts closely.
Oil lubricated Cam Clutches do not ship pre-lubricated. Inject the appropriate oil before use.
* Actual maintenance may vary depending on usage and operating conditions.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The ADB series can be used on any application where bearing temperature monitoring is required. They
have been designed to allow the depth of the probe to be adjustable depending on the application. Probes
are available in 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 inch lengths (special order lengths available on request).
The sensors screw directly into the bearing housing using the existing grease zerk. The body of the ADB
has a grease zerk, allowing lubrication of the bearing without the need to remove the sensor. The ADB
style sensors are available with a standard NTC thermistor for 4B’s Hotbus and Watchdog systems, or a
PT100 - RTD type for PLC and DCS systems. Both types allow for continuous temperature monitoring.
ADB cable connections are not polarity sensitive, so no special connection requirements are needed.

WARNING
Do not wire the sensor across the voltage source directly. Always ensure that the sensor is wired into
a signal conditioning circuit for the temperature measurement. Please note that if the power applied
across the sensor exceeds the specified maximum rated power or current, then the sensor may be
damaged beyond repair. When properly wired to 4B controllers, the power rating across the sensors
is kept at a safe level.

INSTALLATION
1. Remove the existing grease zerk from the bearing housing.
2. Loosen the ADB probe nut and remove the sensor probe.
3. Screw the ADB sensor body in to the 1/8” NPT threaded hole in the bearing housing.
4. Re-insert the temperature probe into sensor body, and adjust the probe depth to suit the bearing. For
optimum temperature monitoring, the probe should be as close to the outer race as possible without
touching (Figures A and B).
5. Tighten the ADB probe nut using the recommended wrench (ADBW).
The maximum recommended torque for the probe nut is 18 in lb (2 Nm).
6. It is important to use liquid tight flexible conduit and fittings for the
installation (Figures C and D) to protect the sensor cables.

LIQUID TIGHT FLEXIBLE CONDUIT INSTALLATION -
Conduit systems can channel water directly to sensors from incorrectly sealed fittings and condensation.
Over time, water will adversely affect sensor performance. To prevent this type of damage, it is
important to properly install conduit and low point conduit drains. Use rigid metal conduit to protect the
cables from the sensors to the control unit.
Figure C illustrates the correct installation of liquid tight flexible conduit. Notice that the bearing sensor
is above the conduit drain and the water level.
Figure D shows that water, particularly condensation, can bypass the conduit drain and flow directly into
the sensor.

TESTING & COMMISSIONING
1. Check that the unit is correctly installed.
2. 4B’s ADB Sensor Tester can be used as a diagnostic tool to verify the alarm and shutdown
sequences of the control unit are functioning as expected.
3. Contact 4B for any questions regarding installation issues if sensor does not perform as expected.
The ADB Sensor Tester has been designed to test 4B adjustable
depth bearing (ADB) temperature sensors in the field. This hand held
test unit features an integrated heating block specifically designed
to have a 4B ADB sensor directly inserted. With integral controls
and temperature display, the unit heats the sensor to the desired trip
point, and allows quick and easy real life testing of the sensor and
temperature monitoring system.
During planned maintenance or periodic testing, the ADB Sensor
Tester can be used as a diagnostic tool to verify the alarm and
shutdown sequences of the control unit are
functioning as expected. To test, the heater
block should be set above the control units
alarm operating temperature. Remove
the ADB bearing sensor probe from
the housing and insert it into the heater
block. As the heater block reaches the
alarm temperature, the ADB sensor will
relay this data to the control unit, allowing
you to verify that the alarm and shutdown
sequences run as expected. When testing
ADB Bearing Sensor Tester
is complete, reinstall the probe back into the
bearing housing.
WARNING
If the system does not immediately shutdown as expected or alarm as required, then remove the
machine from service until the problem has been diagnosed and corrected.

APPLICATION
For use on any application where bearing temperature monitoring is
desired or required.
METHOD OF OPERATION
The ADB series have been designed to allow the depth of the sensor to
be adjustable depending on your application.
The sensors screw directly into a bearing housing through the existing
grease zerk thread. Each sensor is fitted with a grease zerk to allow
lubrication of the bearing without the need for removal of the sensor.
The ADB style sensors are available with a standard NTC thermistor
for 4B’s Hotbus and Watchdog systems, or a 4-wire PT100 - RTD type
for PLC and DCS systems. Both types allow for continuous
temperature monitoring.
The sensors are supplied with a nine foot cable. The connections are
not polarity sensitive therefore special connection requirements are
eliminated, and the cable can be extended in the field.

PRE-INSTALL ATION CONSIDERATIONS
Choosing a Location: (See Figure 1)
1) Material Flow - When selecting a location for any rotary pad-
dle bin monitor, choose a point in the vessel where the paddle
will be out of the direct flow of incoming and outgoing materi-
al to prevent any mechanical damage that may be caused by
the pressure of the flow. This is particularly important for
materials with large, lumpy characteristics. The paddle unit
must be positioned at a point where incoming material will
reach and cover the paddle in its normal flow, and when
receding, will flow away from the paddle in an even manner.
2) Vibration Concerns - Mount at a location that is subject to
limited vibration, away from bin vibrators thereby attaining
maximum operational life. Consult the factory when ques-
tionable conditions exist.
3) Guard Reinforcement - When using rigid extensions and
guards in top mounted applications, select a location where it
is feasible to reinforce the guard to the vessel wall. See
Mechanical Installation for further details.
Figure 2

MECHANIC AL INSTALL ATION
Side Mount / Top Mount:
1) Coupling Mounting - Cut a hole into the vessel that corre-
sponds to the outer diameter of the applicable pipe coupling.
In side mount applications, position a half-coupling flush with
the inside of the vessel and weld into place. In top mount
applications, position a full coupling halfway into the vessel
and weld into place. After greasing the mounting threads with
anti-seize compound, thread the KA/KAX into the coupling
and position the conduit entrance to prevent moisture infil-
tration. Attach paddle if applicable. (See Figure 2)
2) Plate Mounting - Using the gasket provided with the mount-
ing plate as a template, drill six holes at the diameter applicable
to the attachment method being used. Drill six clearance holes at
11/32 inch (9 mm) diameter for use with 5/16" bolts. The bolts
may be secured by tack welding the bolt heads to the vessel, or
by an adjoining nut. Cut a hole (suggested size 2-5 inches (50-
125 mm)) centered within the bolt circle to allow an attached
paddle to fit within the bin. Attach gasket and mounting plate to
the vessel positioning the conduit entrance to eliminate the
possibility of any and all moisture infiltration. (See Figure 4)

ELECTRIC AL INSTALL ATION
1) Hazardous Location Precautions - (See Safety and
Specifications sections of this manual before starting electri-
cal installation.) Observe all government regulations regard-
ing equipment in hazardous locations. In particular, for CSA
approved explosion-proof products, install a conduit seal fit-
ting within 2 inches (50 mm) of the rotary paddle bin monitor.
On all models ensure power is disconnected whenever the
cover is removed and upon completion ensure cover is com-
pletely re-attached.
2) Factory Wiring - The industry exclusive motor shutoff feature
is prewired at the factory and must not be altered in the field.
The jumper wire (s) from the main terminal block to the motor
switch must not be removed.
3) Permanently Connected Equipment - Disconnecting
devices shall be included in the system installation. In instal-
lations were multiple circuits are used, individual disconnects
Figure 5 are required. The disconnects shall be within close proximity
of the equipment, accessible to operators, and marked

SETUP
Paddle Selection
The best “calibration” can be achieved by proper paddle selec-
tion. Incorrect paddle selection may lead to false sensing and
therefore a poor “calibration”. Monitor offers a variety of inter-
changeable paddle assemblies to meet the needs of a wide vari-
ety of applications. Different material densities, particle sizes
and flow characteristics require specific paddles to provide opti-
mum performance. Ensure that the paddle being used for the
application corresponds with the recommendations found in
Monitor’s Material Characteristics Guide (Bulletin #115A).
Sensitivity Spring
1) Setting Upon Receipt - (See Figure 8) All rotary paddle bin
monitors are shipped from the factory with the spring tension
preset at the mid-range sensitivity setting. In most applica-
tions this setting results in acceptable operation assuming
proper paddle selection. Setting can be verified by locating
the cotter pin holding the spring to the switch bracket frame.
The cotter pin will be inserted into the middle hole.
2) Increased Sensitivity - When sensing extremely light mate-
rials (less than 10 lbs/ft3, 160kg/m3), it is desirable to move
the cotter pin to the hole which exerts minimum spring ten-
sion. The reduced spring tension will permit switch actuation
with less material restriction at the paddle.
3) Decreased Sensitivity - When sensing extremely heavy
materials (greater than 75 lbs/ft3, 1200kg/m3) or materials
Figure 6 which have a tendency to stick or build up around shaft seal,
it is desirable to move the cotter pin to the hole which exerts
maximum spring tension. The increased spring tension will
require greater material restriction at the paddle but will pre-
vent cases of the sensor remaining in the activated condition
when material is absent.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The P800 Proxswitch is an inductive sensor designed to detect shaft speed, shaft position, gate position,
or object presence.
The P800 Proxswitch is a CSA Class II, Division 1 approved limit switch style proximity sensor, which
works on the damped oscillator principle. No contact is made between the sensor and the object being
monitored. The P800 will detect a ferrous object at 1/2” and a non-ferrous metal object at a distance of
5/16”.
Two different Sensor outputs are available. One with changeover relay contact outputs which works
on a supply voltage of 24 to 240 VAC / 12 to 240 VDC and another with solid state NPN/PNP transistor
outputs which works on a supply voltage of 10 to 30 VDC.
Both units are fully encapsulated and come with a 6 foot cable lead and 1/2 inch conduit entry. Two
LED’s show power supply and input status.

INSTALLATION
The P800 should be wired as shown in the connections diagram on page 8. The two P800 models have
different connections, so make sure to use the correct diagram for your model.
Cable length can be extended to virtually any distance required. The proximity sensor is well protected
against electrical interference, but if long cable runs are used in very noisy environments, the cabling
should be segregated from any high current carrying conductors.
The sensing face of the sensor, should overhang at least 1-1/4 inches (31 mm) from any metalwork that
the unit is fixed to, otherwise the unit will stay in the “ON” state. Ensure that any background metalwork,
behind the target to be sensed, is at least 5/8 inches (15 mm) behind the target. This will prevent the
proximity sensor from detecting that background metalwork. Illustration A below denotes sensing ranges
for ferrous and non-ferrous targets.
NOTE - Red LED (input) indicates target sensed, and green LED (output) indicates output on. LED’s
are located on the top side of the P800 (Illustration A).

TESTING AND COMMISSIONING
1. Check that the unit is correctly installed (see standard wiring diagram).
2. Check that the distance between the target, stud or bolt head and sensing face of P800 is within the
minimum distance specified.
3. Start up machine.
4. If monitoring for speed see A, for proximity monitoring see B -
A. If the P800 is being used to monitor speed, 4B’s SpeedMaster™ calibration and testing device
can be used to insure the P800 shuts down the machine at the correct percentage of slip. Shut
down will depend on your specific monitoring setup. 4B recommends an instant shutdown on any
belts slipping 20% or more of normal speed.
B. If the P800 is being used as a proximity switch, be sure that the target is not within range of the
sensor prior to testing. Use a metal putty knife or a small piece of metal and place it between the
sensing face of the P800 and the target. This will cause the sensor to energize the output, and
both the green and red LEDs will go on. Removing the putty knife will de-energize the output
signal and both LEDs will go off.
SPEEDMASTER™
The SpeedMaster™ with Pulse Pilot is the only device that
accurately tests the calibration of a speed switch, and allows
testing of the alarm and shutdown features of the sensor while
installed on the machine shaft.
The SpeedMaster™ operates in two modes. Input mode
is used to measure the pulse rate at normal speed. Output
mode will allow the user to input pulses to the sensor for
testing purposes.
Patents - The Pulse Pilot fits between the gap between the sensor and

the target. The Pulse Pilot will have no effect on the operation
EP26223568 of the speed switch until it is connected to the SpeedMaster™
and set to “output” mode.
WARNING
If the system does not immediately shutdown as expected or alarm as required, then remove the
machine from service until the problem has been diagnosed and corrected.

conveyors.
METHOD OF OPERATION
The Touchswitch is an electro-mechanical limit switch with no moving
parts, which detects tracking and misalignment problems on bucket
elevators and conveyors.
When a belt misaligns or a pulley moves over and contacts the sensor,
the built in solid-state electronic circuitry detects the lateral force of the
belt or pulley and activates a voltage free relay contact. This relay
contact is used to immediately alarm and shutdown the machine.
The face of the sensor is made from hardened stainless steel, not soft
brass or aluminum, so wear life is longer when a belt contacts it. The
sensor is not affected by dust or material build up and will still work
when completely covered by material. An external test knob allows for
quick and simple sensor/system testing.
The sensors are usually installed in pairs on opposite sides of the
machine. The sensors can be connected directly to a PLC input, or for
greater safety, to a central independent monitoring system, such as the
T500 Hotbus or Watchdog Elite.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Touchswitch™ is an electronic limit switch. When a belt misaligns or a pulley moves over and
contacts the sensor, the built in solid-state electronic circuitry detects the lateral force of the belt or
pulley and activates a voltage free relay contact. This relay contact is used to immediately alarm and
shutdown the machine. The face of the sensor is made from hardened stainless steel, so that there is
virtually no wear when a belt contacts it. The sensor is not affected by dust or material build up and will
still work when completely covered by material. Sensors are normally installed in pairs on opposite sides
of the machine. Usually a pair of sensors at each pulley is used, but additional pairs can be installed as
required. An external test knob allows for quick and simple sensor / system testing.

Belt Touchswitch™
When mounting on the head section of a leg or belt conveyor try to catch the belt and the pulley. On a
leg, mount the Touchswitch™ above the center line of the head shaft on the discharge side of the pulley
when possible. Sometimes this is not possible due to an inspection door, X-PAC or other obstruction.
In this case, the Touchswitch™ can be mounted on the top or up side of the head pulley. Try to mount
Touchswitches so they are accessible from the head section walkway. Be sure to mount Touchswitches
directly across from one another. On a conveyor head section mount the Touchswitch™ forward of
the head shaft in order to monitor for misalignment on the head pulley and belt. For typical mounting
positions on a bucket elevator, see illustrations on pages 10 - 13.
On a leg boot, mount the Touchswitch™ on the up side of the tail pulley if there are no obstructions. If
obstructions are encountered, use the down side of the pulley, but be sure to have the Touchswitches
mounted directly across from one another. Mount the Touchswitch™ above the center line of the
boot shaft at the shaft’s highest possible position (see illustration - page 13). You may not be able to
catch the leg boot pulley in all positions with a Touchswitch™. If desired, you can install additional
Touchswitches™ along the travel of the boot pulley.
PAGE 7
When mounting Touchswitches on open belt conveyors, brackets will usually need to be fabricated.
These brackets must be built rigid enough to take pressure from a misaligned belt. It is best if these can
be mounted so the Touchswitch™ can detect if the pulley and or the belt has shifted. On tail pulleys of
open belts that are take-up pulleys, it is good if the Touchswitch™ bracket can be mounted off of the
bearing mounting bolts. This will allow the Touchswitch™ to move with the pulley when belt adjustments
are made. For typical mounting positions on an open belt conveyor, see illustration - page 14.
On enclosed belt conveyor tail sections, mount Touchswitches to catch the top side of the belt on the
vertical angle just ahead of tail pulley. You will not be able to catch the tail pulley with a Touchswitch™
on an enclosed belt conveyor due to the flippers on the pulley. 4B recommends that some other device
be installed to catch the tail pulley, such as a surface mount temperature sensor (WDB70V3C). When
installing Touchswitches on the tail section, some tail adjustment will be sacrificed. For typical mounting
positions on an enclosed belt conveyor, see illustration - page 15.
When connecting liquid tight conduit to Touchswitches, limit the length to NEC requirements. However,
when installed on an adjustable pulley or section be certain enough conduit is installed to allow for pulley
adjustments.
WARNING
• Touchswitch™ wiring is low voltage DC.
• Use shielded cable and keep separate from high voltage cable.
• Never run Touchswitch™ cables in the same conduit as 3-phase motor cables.
• Track belts and commission plant prior to installing Touchswitches.
• Fabricated brackets must be built rigid enough to take pressure from a misaligned belt.
NOTE
Install Touchswitches on machinery only after they have been wired to a power source, and can
alarm / shutdown the equipment being monitored.
STANDARD WIRING
All wiring must be In accordance with local and national electrical codes and should be undertaken by
an experienced and qualified electrician.
Always use dust/liquid tight flexible metal conduit with approved fittings to protect the sensor cables.
Use rigid metal conduit to protect the cables from the sensors to the control unit. Conduit systems can
channel water due to ingress and condensation directly to sensors and sensor connections which over
time will adversely affect the performance of the system. As such, the installation of low point conduit
drains is recommended for all sensors.
Mount a suitable junction box within 9 ft. of the sensor, and using a suitable conduit to protect the
cables, make the necessary wiring connections inside this junction box. A 9 foot PVC coated cable
connected to the sensor contains the following 22 AWG wires:
PAGE 8
NOTE
The orange wire is not normally used and should be cut back and insulated.
SENSOR OPERATION:
The Touchswitch™ is an electronic limit switch that reacts when pressure is applied to the sensor face.
If the pressure exceeds 8 lbs. (3.6 kg), the sensor relay goes into an alarm condition (Illustration D).
Illustration C denotes normal running conditions, with no pressure applied.

NOTE
• The Touchswitch is factory pre-calibrated and no sensitivity adjustment is necessary. The sensor
is calibrated to switch to the alarm state when belt lateral force exceeds 8 lbs. (3.6 kg).
• The Touchswitch contains a non-replaceable permanent 160 mA fuse and a thermal fuse set at
163° F (73° C).
• 4B recommends that the machine shuts down when the belt contacts the Touchswitch. If the
machine does not shut down and the belt is allowed to continue to rub against the face of the
Touchswitch, the hardened stainless steel sensor puck may wear and the heat generated by the
friction may cause the thermal fuse to blow. This fuse is non-replaceable and non-repairable.

TESTING & COMMISSIONING
Periodically test the sensor and the system to ensure both are operating correctly.
The Touchswitch™ has a built in test knob that allows for quick and easy operation verification without
removing the sensor from the mounting hole. The testing procedure is outlined below:
1. Observe that the red output LED on the sensor housing is on and the belt or pulley is not touching
the sensor.
2. Slowly turn the test knob clockwise by hand, until the LED goes out.
3. Check that the alarm and shutdown procedures work as expected.
a. If OK, continue to step 4.
b. If the system does not immediately shutdown as expected or alarm as required, then remove the
machine from service until the problem has been diagnosed and corrected.
4. Turn the test knob back to its original position (about 1/4 turn). Make sure that the knob is loose,
meaning not turned all the way to the left or right.
5. Observe that the LED is now on, indicating the sensor has power and is not in alarm.
As part of your ongoing maintenance program, periodically test the sensor and system, and visually
inspect the contact surface of the sensor and the sealtite, the wires, junction box and conduit.
WARNING
If the system does not immediately shutdown as expected or alarm as required, then remove the
machine from service until the problem has been diagnosed and corrected.

• 14.2.A SYSTEM RECALIBRATION - The Watchdog can be re-calibrated at any time while the
machine is running normally by selecting the CALIBRATE SYSTEM option as described above. You
are strongly advised against indiscriminate re-calibration, as you may be attempting to calibrate the
unit when the machine is not running normally. If you have persistent alarm/stop conditions there is
something wrong with the machine or with the adjustment of the system.
If the STOP button is operated on the motor starter (interlock signal removed) during calibration,
the Alarm and Stop relays will be de-energized and calibration will be aborted. Calibration will also
be aborted if any fault conditions occur, i.e. the elevator fails to start, or stops during the procedure.
Start calibration again if this happens, proceed from section 14.2 above, after rectifying the fault
condition.
• 14.2.B INCORRECT CALIBRATION - If the unit was calibrated at less than normal speed, it will
display an over speed alarm / stop condition and possibly stop the machine when running at normal
speed. This indicates that the calibration is incorrect and the belt tension should be checked and
adjusted as required. The unit should then be re-calibrated (see section 14.2.A).
• 14.2.C START UP TIMER - When the equipment being monitored starts, the Watchdog’s motor
interlock input is energized and a start-up timer begins to time out. When the start-up timer expires,
the input speed is compared to the calibrated speed. If the input speed is within the preset limits no
action is taken, however if it is not an alarm will occur.
NOTE
If you proceed with the calibration cycle, the current calibration settings will be erased. If you do not
wish to continue with the calibration cycle press the CANCEL button.

• 14.4.A TEMPERATURE UNITS (1 of 6) - Fahrenheit (°F) or Celsius (°C) can be selected. The
default is Fahrenheit. The Watchdog will reset temperatures to the factory default settings if the
temperature unit is changed, be sure to check all settings if this occurs to ensure proper operation.
• 14.4.B PRE ABS ALARM (2 of 6) - Can be turned ON or OFF (default). If turned ON, and the
bearing temperature increases to within 10° F (5° C) of either the RUB BLOCK ABSOLUTE ALARM
(section 14.6.C), the HBS ABSOLUTE ALARM (section 14.8.B), or the AMB ABSOLUTE ALARM
(section 14.8.I) an alarm will occur. The system will not shut down due to this alarm, however if the
equipment is stopped it can not be re-started until this alarm has been cleared. The alarm event is
also logged in the ALARM LOG.
• 14.4.C NEGATIVE DIFFERENTIAL ALARM (3 of 6) - Can be turned ON or OFF (default), and is
used when monitoring temperature using a relative ambient temperature alarm source. During
normal operation, it would be unusual for the bearing temperature value to be below that of the
ambient temperature source (default OFF). If turned ON, and a bearing temperature value drops
below the value of the ambient source by an amount greater than the relative alarm value, an alarm
will occur. The alarm is logged in the ALARM LOG.
• 14.4.D RATE OF RISE START UP DELAY [MIN] (4 of 6) - Allows a delay when the system is
started before any rate of rise in temperature is monitored. This allows the system to reach a steady
state before alarming. This level setting can be set from 0 - 5 minutes, the default is 5.

Additional expansion boards can be installed inside the Watchdog WDC4 in positions EXP1 and EXP2.
1. NTC expansion board (WDC4-AUXI-6NTC) provides the ability to connect 6 additional NTC
temperature sensors to the WDC4. A maximum of two can be installed, providing a total of 12
additional NTC inputs.
2. PLC expansion board (WDC4-AUXO-4SSR) provides the ability to connect additional signals
from the WDC4 to a PLC. The board has 4 Solid State Relays that can be used to indicate alarm
conditions related to speed, alignment, temperature and auxiliary alarms as four separate signals. A
maximum of two can be installed, providing a total of 8 separate alarm signals.
Board types can be installed in pairs as describe above, or mixed (1 NTC and 1 PLC). Boards can be
pre-installed at the factory when ordering a new Watchdog WDC4, or installed into existing control units
already in the field. For installation instructions and board specifications, refer to either the NTC or PLC
expansion board manual.
• 14.4.E EXPANSION 1 (5 of 6) - Choices are NTC BOARD, RELAY BOARD or OFF (default) as
shown in the system settings screen (Image 24). If NTC BOARD or RELAY BOARD are selected,
you will need to confirm your selection by choosing YES to save the new setting (Image 25).
• 14.4.F EXPANSION 2 (6 of 6) - Choices for expansion board 2 are the same as expansion board 1
above (14.4.E).

• 14.5.A SPEED MONITORING - This section allows you to enable or disable speed monitoring. The
default setting is ON, but it can only be disabled by selecting OFF in the FACTORY SETTINGS menu
(Section 16).
• 14.5.B SCALING UNITS - Allows the selection of the main screen speed units. Four options are
available:
1. PPM - Pulses Per Minute
2. RPM - Revolutions Per Minute
3. USR - User Defined
4. % - Percentage of Calibrated Speed (Default)
• 14.5.C SCALING FACTOR - If either RPM or USR is selected then a scaling factor must be entered.
The default value is 20.
PPM and % are automatically calculated. Display = (Input PPM X Scale factor) / 12.
1. Example: Tons / Hour -
If the elevator normal speed is 420 pulses per minute (PPM) and the desired display is 3000
tons /hour then the scale factor = (3000 X 12) / 420 = 85.71.
2. Example: Feet / Min -
If there are 9 inches between each bucket and you wish to display speed in feet / minute then set
the scale factor to 9. This is a special case of when the scale factor is set to the bucket spacing
in inches then the display will show belt speed in feet / minute.
3. Example: Meters / Min -
Scale factor = 12 X bucket pitch in meters. If the pitch is 23 cm, then the scale factor =
(12 X 0.23) = 2.76.
• 14.5.D SPEED DETECTION SOURCE - Three options determine the different ways to measure
speed.
1. MAS SPEED INPUT -
This option is selected when you intend to use multiple speed detectors such as WDA. MAS
(Motion and Alignment Sensor) detectors are usually used to detect the passage of buckets when
the elevator belt is in motion. As each bucket passes the sensors a pulse is generated and the
Watchdog uses these pulses to measure speed and the alignment of belt between the sensors.
2. DEDICATED SPEED INPUT (Default) -
The dedicated speed input is selected when a single speed sensor is to be used. Usually this
sensor is used with a Whirligig and is connected to the boot / tail end of the elevator or conveyor
belt. The Watchdog uses the pulses from the sensor to determine speed.
PAGE 39
3. DIFFERENTIAL SPEED -
Differential speed monitoring is selected when you intend to monitor an elevator or conveyor belt
that may intentionally vary in speed as part of the process or when that belt is driven by a variable
speed controller.
The monitoring of differential speeds usually takes place between the top of the elevator (the
drive end) and the bottom (the driven end). This allows the varying speed to be monitored while
comparing the drive speed with the driven speed, differences between the two being the result of
belt slippage.
Once differential speed is enabled the Watchdog expects 2 independent signals by which to
measure the speed of an elevator or conveyor belt. This method allows the monitoring of both
fixed and variable speed elevators.
The 2 speed inputs are connected in the following manner.
Speed 1 is connected to the dedicated speed input. The source for the pulses is usually a
Whirligig mounted on the head (or main) drive assembly.
Speed 2 can be derived from a number of different sources but will usually be connected to either
the head alignment sensor inputs, tail alignment sensor inputs or both head and tail together.
The source for the speed can also be derived from a Whirligig connected to the tail shaft (or
driven), the pulsed output being passed through the Touchswitch alignment sensor pairs into the
Watchdog alignment inputs.
An alternative speed source could be from WDA alignment sensors (MAS) installed to detect
buckets on the elevator belt. When MAS are used the Watchdog always uses the highest speed
input for speed 2.
For the differential speed option to work correctly it is necessary to enable alignment monitoring
on either the tail and/or head and for them to be set as “Pulsed” inputs.
The speed monitoring is performed by comparing the two different speed sources. They do not
need to be the same speed since the speed is determined by checking the difference between
the two speeds or rather the ratio of one speed to the other. Because speed 2 is connected to 2
or 4 inputs, the highest measured speed is always used.
Although calibration is not required in the usual way on a variable speed elevator it is used to
determine the ratio of speed 1 to speed 2. This approach allows two completely different pulse
rates to be compared and if either changes in relationship to the other action can be taken.
During the calibration cycle the Watchdog checks the two different speeds and calculates the
RATIO of one to the other. After the calibration cycle is complete this ratio is used to determine if
there is any difference in relationship between the speeds. If this difference is sufficient then the
Watchdog reacts in the usual manner and will generate an alarm or stop action depending upon
the outcome of the compare.
Because the relationship between the two speeds determines the action to be taken the speed of
the elevator can rise and fall (variable speed) and as long as the two speeds are in the same
relationship (ratio) to each other, the Watchdog will not generate a fault condition.
The permitted ratio is 0.1 to 10.0, values outside this range will result in a calibration failure.
WARNING
When you have completed making changes to the Watchdog profile setup, you will be prompted to

Below are examples of how the Watchdog sees the two speeds:
• Example 1:
Speed 1 - 426 PPM
Speed 2 - 987 PPM
Ratio of speed 2 to speed 1 = 2.316 (987/426)
If the elevator was to increase in speed so that speed 1 was now 556 PPM then speed 2 should
be speed (556 X 2.316) or 1288 PPM (these figures are rounded).
Speed 1 at 426 PPM and speed 2 at 987 PPM has the same relationship as speed 1 at
556 PPM and speed 2 is 1288 PPM. In both cases the elevator is running at 100% or the
relationship of the two speeds is 100% of the expected ratio.
• Example 2:
Speed 1 - 583 PPM
Speed 2 - 416 PPM
Ratio of speed 2 to speed 1 = 0.713 (416/583)
If the elevator was to decrease in speed so that speed 1 was now 480 PPM then speed 2
should be speed (480 X 0.713) or 342 PPM (these figures are rounded).
Speed 1 at 583 PPM and speed 2 at 416 PPM has the same relationship as speed 1 at
480 PPM and speed 2 as 342 PPM. In both cases the elevator is running at 100% or the
relationship of the two speeds is 100% of the expected ratio.
Once the ratio between speed 1 and 2 is established then it is possible to determine if the
belt is slipping. Because speed 1 is derived from the head pulley drive it can be considered a
reference because it will only normally vary as a result of deliberate action to speed up or slow
down the elevator belt. Speed 2 can vary either because of a variation in speed 1 or if the belt
begins to slip for any reason. Because we know the ratio of speed 1 to speed 2 then we can
check to see the amount of belt slip.
• Example 3:
Speed 1 is 350 PPM. The ratio after calibration is 1.256 therefore speed 2 should be 440 but it
is currently 405. This means that he belt is running at 92% of the expected speed (or slipping
by 8% (405/440 X 100)). The default alarm level for under-speed is 10% so as yet the slip
isn’t a problem. If speed 2 was to drop to 390 then the error is 88% of the expected speed (or
slipping by 12%) therefore the Watchdog will generate an under speed alarm.
The same principle applies no matter what the elevator speed is providing that the values
measured for speed 1 and speed 2 remain within the maximum and minimum speed limits of
the Watchdog.
• 14.5.E ACCELERATION MONITORING LEVEL - When disabled (0), the Watchdog will not monitor
speed during the start-up delay. When enabled, the Watchdog will monitor the speed during start-
up delay and initiate a stop condition if the system speed is not increasing according to the set
acceleration value.
Level settings range from 0 - 9, the default is 5. See below for more information on acceleration
monitoring values:
0 - Off, no monitoring will take place.
1 - System speed should reach at least 10% of calibrated speed by 90% of start-up delay.
5 - Default setting, system speed should reach 10% of calibrated speed by 10% of start-up delay,
20% by 20% of start-up delay, etc.
9 - System speed should reach at least 90% of calibrated speed by 10% of start-up delay.
PAGE 41
• 14.5.F NUMBER OF STARTS / MINUTE - This function is used to prevent damage to the motor
and motor start circuitry by limiting the number of times in a minute the system can be started. This
setting can range from 1 to 10, the default is 3.
When the Watchdog is started and a shutdown fault occurs, a jog delay is introduced. For example,
if the “Number of Starts / Minute” is set to 4, then a delay of 15 seconds before restarting would be
introduced (60 seconds / 4 starts per minutes = 15 seconds between starts).
The jog countdown is shown under SYSTEM STATUS on the Watchdog’s main screen.
• 14.5.G START UP DELAY [S] - The delay in seconds before the system starts to fully monitor the
system for possible alarm conditions. This setting can range from 1 to 15 seconds, the default is 5.
A countdown is shown on the status screen.
This delay allows elevator or conveyor belts to start-up and achieve a correct running state before
the general alarm conditions are monitored. The exceptions to this are acceleration monitoring,
bearing temperature and plug condition.
If acceleration monitoring is enabled (a value other than 0), and the acceleration speed is outside of
the permitted parameters, the Watchdog will stop the elevator or conveyor in accordance with the
acceleration monitoring level.
• 14.5.H UNDERSPEED ALARM [%] - The percentage of underspeed at which the system will cause
an alarm. The percentage can be set from 1% to 10%, the default is 10%.
If the measured speed falls below the calibrated speed by this preset percentage, the Watchdog
will generate an underspeed alarm condition. If this alarm persists longer than the underspeed stop
delay, then the Watchdog will stop the elevator or conveyor.
• 14.5.I SEVERE UNDERSPEED [%] - The percentage of severe under speed at which the system
will shut down. The percentage can be set from 1% to 20%, the default is 20%.
If the measured speed falls below the calibrated speed by this preset percentage, the Watchdog will
generate a severe underspeed condition and stop the elevator or conveyor.
• 14.5.J UNDERSPEED ALARM DELAY [S] - The delay in seconds before the system alarms after
a sensor trips. The delay can be set from 0 to 10 seconds, the default is 1. Configuring the delay
above zero can help prevent nuisance alarms.
When a sensors trips, a cumulative alarm delay counter starts to count down. If the alarm condition
ends before the delay counter reaches zero, the delay counter starts to count back up to the original
alarm delay value and the Watchdog will not alarm.
If the system reaches the UNDERSPEED ALARM DELAY time, the alarm relay is de-energized, the
ALARM LED on the Watchdog lights up amber, and a warning showing the source of the alarm is
displayed in red on the main LCD screen. The alarm event is also logged in the ALARM LOG.
• 14.5.K UNDERSPEED STOP DELAY [S] - The delay in seconds before the system shuts down.
The delay can be set from 0 to 60 seconds, the default is 60.
A cumulative stop delay counter starts to count down simultaneously with the alarm delay. If the
alarm condition ends before the delay counter reaches zero, the counter starts to count back up to
the original stop delay value and the Watchdog will not stop the system.
After the alarm delay time has elapsed and the alarm has been triggered, the stop delay timer will be
displayed on the main LCD. If the Watchdog reaches the UNDERSPEED STOP DELAY time, the
stop relay is de-energized, the STOP LED on the Watchdog lights up red, and a warning showing
the source of the stop condition is displayed in red on the main LCD screen. The stop event is also
logged in the ALARM LOG.
The stop delay does not apply to SEVERE UNDERSPEED[%] conditions. If equipment reaches the
set severe percentage, it will stop immediately without any delay.
PAGE 42
• 14.5.L OVERSPEED [%] - The percentage of over speed at which the system will cause an alarm.
The percentage can be set from 1% to 10%, the default is 10%.
If the measured speed rises above the calibrated speed by this preset percentage, the Watchdog will
generate an overspeed alarm. If this alarm persists longer than the “Overspeed Stop Delay” time,
then the Watchdog will stop the elevator or conveyor.
• 14.5.M SEVERE OVERSPEED [%] - The percentage of severe overspeed at which the system will
shut down. The percentage can be set from 1% to 20%, the default is 20%.
If the measured speed rises above the calibrated speed by this preset percentage, the Watchdog
will generate a severe overspeed stop condition. This condition results in an immediate stop of the
elevator or conveyor.
• 14.5.N OVERSPEED ALARM DELAY [S] - The delay in seconds before the system alarms after
a sensor trips. The delay can be set from 0 to 10 seconds, the default is 1. Configuring the delay
above zero can help prevent nuisance alarms.
When a sensors trips, a cumulative alarm delay counter starts to count down. If the alarm condition
ends before the delay counter reaches zero, the delay counter starts to count back up to the original
alarm delay value and the Watchdog will not alarm.
If the system reaches the OVERSPEED ALARM DELAY time, the alarm relay is de-energized, the
ALARM LED on the Watchdog lights up amber, and a warning showing the source of the alarm is
displayed in red on the main LCD screen. The alarm event is also logged in the ALARM LOG.
• 14.5.O OVERSPEED STOP DELAY [S] - The delay in seconds before the system shuts down. The
delay can be set from 0 to 60 seconds, the default is 60.
A cumulative stop delay counter starts to count down simultaneously with the alarm delay. If the
alarm condition ends before the delay counter reaches zero, the counter starts to count back up to
the original stop delay value and the Watchdog will not stop the system.
After the alarm delay time has elapsed and the alarm has been triggered, the stop delay timer will
be displayed on the main LCD. If the Watchdog reaches the OVERSPEED STOP DELAY time, the
stop relay is de-energized, the STOP LED on the Watchdog lights up red, and a warning showing
the source of the stop condition is displayed in red on the main LCD screen. The stop event is also
logged in the ALARM LOG.
The stop delay does not apply to SEVERE OVERSPEED[%] conditions. If equipment reaches the
set severe percentage, it will stop immediately without any delay.

14.6 ALIGNMENT (HEAD) -
MENU > SETUP (PASSWORD) > PROFILE > EDIT SELECTED PROFILE > ALIGNMENT
Settings in this menu allow you to monitor alignment at the head and/or tail sections of your equipment.
Sensors are installed in pairs (left side - right side) at the head and/or tail sections.
PAGE 43
• 14.6.A HEAD SENSOR PAIR - This section allows you to enable or disable head alignment
monitoring. Four options are available:
1. OFF
2. Pulsed
3. Contact (Default Setting)
4. Rub Block
PULSED - Choose this option if using 4B WDA Motion Alignment Sensors, or Touchswiches that
are receiving pulses from a P800. The number of pulses detected between the sensors from the
right and left sides are compared, if the ratio between the two is less than 66% an alarm condition is
generated. The value of 66% is fixed and cannot be altered by the user.
CONTACT (Default) - Choose this option if using 4B Touchswitch sensors (not receiving pulses
from a P800). In this mode, the Watchdog looks for a change in signal level representing the belt
alignment condition.
- ON: +24V into the terminal is seen as Normal (no belt misalignment).
- OFF: 0V into the terminal is seen as a belt misalignment condition.
RUB BLOCK - Choose this option if using rub blocks to detect belt misalignment. A rub block
is basically a temperature sensor mounted to a special block (usually brass). If the belt rubs
constantly against the rub block, heat from friction will cause the rub block’s temperature to rise. If
the temperature rises above the pre-set limit, a misalignment alarm will be generated. There are a
number of settings available for use with the rub block.
• 14.6.B HEAD TRIGGER ALARM - If CONTACT is selected within the HEAD SENSOR PAIR menu,
a trigger alarm must be selected. The default is OFF, meaning that an alarm will be triggered when
the contact is off (0V). If ON is selected, the alarm will be triggered when the contact is on (+24V),
this option (ON) is only available under FACTORY SETTINGS.
• 14.6.C ABSOLUTE ALARM [DEG] - If RUB BLOCK is selected within the HEAD SENSOR PAIR
menu, an absolute temperature value must be selected. If the measured temperature of the rub
block exceeds this value, an alarm is generated. This level setting ranges from 32° to 230° F (1° to
110° C), the default is 140° F (60° C). For PRE ABS ALARM information, refer to section 14.4.B.
• 14.6.D RELATIVE ALARM SOURCE - If RUB BLOCK is selected within the HEAD SENSOR PAIR
menu, a relative alarm source must be selected. Choices are OFF, AMB1, AMB2 or OPPOSITE, the
default is OFF.
If either AMB1 or AMB2 are selected, the relative alarm temperature is relative to the ambient
temperature. If OPPOSITE is selected, then the relative alarm for each sensor is relative to the
opposite sensor’s temperature.
• 14.6.E RELATIVE ALARM - If RUB BLOCK is selected within the HEAD SENSOR PAIR menu
and RELATIVE ALARM SOURCE is set to AMB1, AMB2 or OPPOSITE, a relative alarm must be
selected.
If the measured temperature of the rub block exceeds the relative temperature value, an alarm is
generated. This level setting ranges from 2° to 90° F (1° to 50° C), the default is 30° F (15° C).
• 14.6.F HEAD: RATE OF RISE [DEG/MIN] - If RUB BLOCK is selected within the HEAD SENSOR
PAIR menu and RELATIVE ALARM SOURCE is set to AMB1, AMB2 or OPPOSITE, you can choose
to turn the rate of rise ON (default) or OFF. If RELATIVE ALARM SOURCE is set to OFF, you will not
be able to choose RATE OF RISE.
If turned ON, this setting monitors the rub block’s rate of rise of temperature in degrees per minutes.
If a rate of rise is detected equal to or greater than this value, an alarm will be generated and the
alarm relay being de-energized. This level setting ranges from 2.0 to 5.0, the default is 3.0.

greater than AMB1 +30º, or if the value exceeds the absolute value of 140°. T#12 is shown in red since
it is in an alarm state.
• 14.6.G HEAD ALARM DELAY [S] - The delay in seconds before the system alarms after a sensor
trips. The delay can be set from 0 to 10 seconds, the default is 1. Configuring the delay above zero
can help prevent nuisance alarms.
When a sensors trips, a cumulative alarm delay counter starts to count down. If the alarm condition
ends before the delay counter reaches zero, the delay counter starts to count back up to the original
alarm delay value and the Watchdog will not alarm.
If the system reaches the HEAD ALARM DELAY time, the alarm relay is de-energized, the ALARM
LED on the Watchdog lights up amber, and a warning showing the source of the alarm is displayed in
red on the main LCD screen. The alarm event is also logged in the ALARM LOG.
• 14.6.H HEAD STOP DELAY [S] - The delay in seconds before the system shuts down. The delay
can be set from 0 to 60 seconds, the default is 60.
A cumulative stop delay counter starts to count down simultaneously with the alarm delay. If the
alarm condition ends before the delay counter reaches zero, the counter starts to count back up to
the original stop delay value and the Watchdog will not stop the system.

14.8 TEMPERATURE -
MENU > SETUP (PASSWORD) > PROFILE > EDIT SELECTED PROFILE > TEMPERATURE
The Watchdog can monitor up to 8 NTC type temperature sensors (standard) or up to 20 with additional
NTC expansion boards. In the Watchdog system, 6 of these sensors are referred to as hot bearing
sensor 1 (HBS1) through hot bearing sensor 6 (HBS6). The other 2 sensors are referred to as ambient
sensor 1 (AMB1) and ambient sensor 2 (AMB2). Each sensor can be switched ON or OFF as required
and they can be used in any combination.
If NTC expansion boards have been installed (see 14.4.E & 14.4.F), an expanded menu will be available
to configure up to 12 additional temperature inputs.
• If expansion board 1 (EXP1) has been installed, then HBS7 - HBS12 will be available.
• If expansion board 2 (EXP2) has been installed, then HBS13 - HBS18 will be available.
NOTE
While originally developed for displaying hot bearing sensors (HBS), menus displaying HBS can
refer to any NTC type temperature sensor such as those used with brass rub blocks (ADB Series) or
surface temperature sensors (WDB7 Series).
Since the menus are the same for each NTC sensor, HBS1 will be used as a template for all HBS
sensors in this manual.
• 14.8.A HBS1 - Choices are OFF or NTC. Select OFF to disable the sensor or NTC to enable the
sensor. The default setting for HBS1 through HBS4 is NTC, while the default for HBS5 and HBS6 is
OFF.
• 14.8.B HBS1: ABSOLUTE ALARM [DEG] - This is the absolute maximum temperature at which
the Watchdog will generate an alarm. If an alarm is generated, the effected bearing sensor icon will
change from green to red on the main LCD screen. The alarm condition is also logged in the ALARM
LOG. This level setting ranges from 32° to 230° F (1° to 110° C), the default is 140° F (60° C). For
PRE ABS ALARM information, refer to section 14.4.B.
• 14.8.C HBS1: RELATIVE ALARM SOURCE - Allows you to select a relative alarm source. Choices
are OFF, AMB1 or AMB2, the default is OFF. This option creates a relationship between two different
temperature sensors. When using the setup screen on the Watchdog, HBS1 - HBS6 can only be
related to ambient sensor 1 (AMB1) or ambient sensor 2 (AMB2). By using the advanced setup
features within the WDC4 Configurator Software, any hot bearing sensor can alarm relative to any
other.
For example - If you use the configuration software, you can set a RELATIVE ALARM SOURCE
between HBS1 and HBS4. Once the relationship is set you can specify a RELATIVE ALARM value.
This value is used to set the alarm level of one temperature to another. If HBS1 is related to HBS4
and the RELATIVE ALARM value is set to 15° F, then a temperature alarm would be generated when
the temperature of HBS1 exceeded the temperature of HBS4 by 15° F.
When you select a RELATIVE ALARM SOURCE, the appropriate sensor is automatically enabled.
Setting HBS4 as the RELATIVE ALARM SOURCE for HBS1 will automatically enable HBS4. When
a sensor is automatically enabled, the default values are used for that sensor, so make sure that the
settings are appropriate for your intended use.
• 14.8.D HBS1: RELATIVE ALARM [DEG] - If AMB1 OR AMB2 is selected within the RELATIVE
ALARM SOURCE menu, a relative temperature value must be selected.
If the measured temperature of the bearing sensor exceeds the relative temperature value, an alarm
is generated. This level setting ranges from 2° to 90° F (1° to 50° C), the default is 30° F (15° C).
PAGE 48
• 14.8.E HBS1: RATE OF RISE [DEG/MIN] - You can choose to turn the rate of rise ON (default) or
OFF. If turned OFF, the rate of rise is ignored and no alarm will be generated.
If turned ON, this setting monitors the rate of rise of the bearing sensor temperatures. It is designed
to detect when temperature rises are in excess of what might be considered normal. If the sensor
temperature rises more than 3 degrees (default) per minute, then a RATE OF RISE alarm will be
generated. If an alarm is detected, the alarm relay will be de-energized until the rate of rise drops
below the set target. The process of monitoring the rate of rise can be delayed at start-up by setting
the RATE OF RISE START UP DELAY in the SYSTEM SETTINGS menu. This level setting ranges
from 2.0 to 5.0, the default is 3.0.
• 14.8.F HBS1 ALARM DELAY [S] - The delay in seconds before the system alarms after a sensor
trips. The delay can be set from 0 to 10 seconds, the default is 1. Configuring the delay above zero
can help prevent nuisance alarms.
When a sensors trips, a cumulative alarm delay counter starts to count down. If the alarm condition
ends before the delay counter reaches zero, the delay counter starts to count back up to the original
alarm delay value and the Watchdog will not alarm.
If the system reaches the ALARM DELAY time, the alarm relay is de-energized, the ALARM LED on
the Watchdog lights up amber, and a warning showing the source of the alarm is displayed in red on
the main LCD screen. The alarm event is also logged in the ALARM LOG.
• 14.8.G HBS1 STOP DELAY [S] - The delay in seconds before the system shuts down. The delay
can be set from 0 to 60 seconds, the default is 60.
A cumulative stop delay counter starts to count down simultaneously with the alarm delay. If the
alarm condition ends before the delay counter reaches zero, the counter starts to count back up to
the original stop delay value and the Watchdog will not stop the system.
After the alarm delay time has elapsed and the alarm has been triggered, the stop delay timer will
be displayed on the main LCD. If the Watchdog reaches the STOP DELAY time, the stop relay is
de-energized, the STOP LED on the Watchdog lights up red, and a warning showing the source of
the stop condition is displayed in red on the main LCD screen. The stop event is also logged in the
ALARM LOG.
Since the menus are the same for both AMB1 and AMB2, AMB1 will be used as a template in this
manual.
• 14.8.H AMB1 - Up to 2 ambient temperature sensors may be used with the Watchdog. These can
be used to monitor the temperature of additional bearings, motors or gearboxes. These sensors are
referred to as AMB1 and AMB2. Each sensor can be switched OFF (default) or NTC as required and
they can be used in any combination.
• 14.8.I AMB1: ABSOLUTE ALARM [DEG] - This is the absolute maximum temperature at which the
Watchdog will generate an alarm. The appropriate ambient sensor icon will change from green to
red on the main LCD screen, and the alarm condition will be logged in the ALARM LOG. This level
setting ranges from 32° to 230° F (1° to 110° C), the default is 140° F (60° C). For PRE ABS ALARM
information, refer to section 14.4.B.
• 14.8.J AMB1: RATE OF RISE [DEG/MIN] - You can choose to turn the rate of rise ON (default) or
OFF. If turned OFF, the rate of rise is ignored and no alarm will be generated.
If turned ON, this setting monitors the rate of rise of the ambient sensor temperatures. It is designed
to detect when temperature rises are in excess of what might be considered normal. If the sensor
temperature rises more than 3 degrees (default) per minute, then a RATE OF RISE alarm will be
generated. If an alarm is detected, the alarm relay will be de-energized until the rate of rise drops
below the set target. The process of monitoring the rate of rise can be delayed at start-up by setting
the RATE OF RISE START UP DELAY in the SYSTEM SETTINGS menu. This level setting ranges
from 2.0 to 5.0, the default is 3.0.
PAGE 49
• 14.8.K AMB1: ALARM DELAY [S] - The delay in seconds before the system alarms after a sensor
trips. The delay can be set from 0 to 10 seconds, the default is 1. Configuring the delay above zero
can help prevent nuisance alarms.
When a sensors trips, a cumulative alarm delay counter starts to count down. If the alarm condition
ends before the delay counter reaches zero, the delay counter starts to count back up to the original
alarm delay value and the Watchdog will not alarm.
If the system reaches the ALARM DELAY time, the alarm relay is de-energized, the ALARM LED on
the Watchdog lights up amber, and a warning showing the source of the alarm is displayed in red on

A number of test functions are available to simulate various fault conditions to validate the functionality
of the alarm and stop relays (Image 32). The testing function is not designed to test the sensors on
the equipment, it allows you to insure that your control wiring, PLC or HazardMon.com connectivity are
functioning. None of the tests will function if the Watchdog is in an alarm condition, or if the system has
not been calibrated. Testing can be run for the following: ALARM RELAY, ALIGNMENT, OVER SPEED,
UNDER SPEED and HOT BEARING SENSOR.
NOTE
Only the ALARM RELAY test can be started while the equipment is running. All of the other tests
require the equipment to be stopped prior to testing.
• 15.1 ALARM RELAY - Toggles the alarm relay 5 times at a rate of once per second. The display
prompts you to “Press OK to Start the Test and Then Start the Elevator”. If the elevator is already
running, the test will begin immediately. If the elevator is stopped, the test will begin the next time
the elevator is started. When testing begins, “ALARM TEST” will appear under SYSTEM STATUS
on the main LCD screen. The elevator will remain running after the test is concluded.
• 15.2 ALIGNMENT - Simulates an alignment fault condition by introducing a head alignment fault.
The values used for alarm and stop delays will be the current settings. The display prompts you
to “Press OK to Start the Test and Then Start the Elevator”. The test will begin the next time the
elevator is started. When testing begins, “ALIGN. TEST” will appear under SYSTEM STATUS on
the main LCD screen. The elevator will be in the stopped condition after the test is concluded. If the
alarm and stop delays are excessive, then it will take a long time to perform the test.
• 15.3 OVER SPEED - Simulates an over speed fault condition by simulating an increase in speed
by 15%, introducing an over-speed condition. The values used for alarm and stop delays will be
the current settings. The display prompts you to “Press OK to Start the Test and Then Start the
Elevator”. The test will begin the next time the elevator is started. When testing begins, “O/S TEST”
will appear under SYSTEM STATUS on the main LCD screen. The elevator will be in the stopped
condition after the test is concluded. If the alarm and stop delays are excessive, then it will take a
long time to perform the test.
PAGE 53
• 15.4 UNDER SPEED - Simulates an under speed fault condition by simulating a decrease in speed
by 15%, introducing an under speed condition. The values used for alarm and stop delays will be
the current settings. The display prompts you to “Press OK to Start the Test and Then Start the
Elevator”. The test will begin the next time the elevator is started. When testing begins, “U/S TEST”
will appear under SYSTEM STATUS on the main LCD screen. The elevator will be in the stopped
condition after the test is concluded. If the alarm and stop delays are excessive, then it will take a
long time to perform the test.
• 15.5 HOT BEARING SENSOR - Simulates a hot bearing sensor exceeding the trip value. The test
is always on HBS1. If HBS1 is not enabled, the firmware will enable it for the duration of the test and
then switch it back off when the testing has been completed. The values used for alarm and stop
delays will be the current settings. The display prompts you to “Press OK to Start the Test and Then
Start the Elevator”. The test will begin the next time the elevator is started. When testing begins,
“HBS TEST” will appear under SYSTEM STATUS on the main LCD screen. The elevator will be in
the stopped condition after the test is concluded. If the alarm and stop delays are excessive, then it
will take a long time to perform the test.

All of the settings in the Watchdog can be saved to and loaded from an SD card inserted into the System
Card / SD Card 1 slot (Image 35) inside the control unit. The setup file will have an extension of .wd4.
An SD card will be required if you are using the WDC4 Configurator software to setup the Watchdog
(Appendix C).
The SD CARD menu has two options -
• LOAD FILE .WD4 - If loading the file is successful an entry will be made in the ALARM LOG
“Settings<-SD” (indicating that data was loaded form the SD card). Along with the date and time the
load was performed. If the SD card is missing or an error occurred it will be recorded in the alarm
log as “SD No Media”. Before loading the settings you will be given a warning stating that all your
current settings will be overwritten. You can then continue with the load or cancel.
• SAVE FILE .WD4 - Any existing file with the .wd4 extension will be destroyed and replaced. If saving
the file is successful an entry will be made in the ALARM LOG “Settings>-SD” (indicating that data
was saved to the SD card). Along with the date and time the save was performed. If the SD card is
missing or an error occurred it will be recorded in the alarm log as “SD No Media”.
If an SD card is present, a file named WDC4.csv will be created. This file will contain all the logging
information regarding the status of the Watchdog. Any run / stop request and alarm / stop conditions are
logged. If a WDC4.csv file already exists on the SD card, the data will be appended to the existing data
in the file.
If the file size of WDC4.csv exceeds 10 MB, a warning will be reported in the ALARM LOG. If using a
program such as Microsoft Excel, the file size is important since versions before 2008 can have issues
importing large file sizes.
WARNING
Power down the Watchdog before inserting or removing the SD card from either the SD CARD 1 or
SD CARD 2 slots to prevent system errors.

• Hazardmon - The Watchdog Super Elite can be integrated into HazardMon.com®, which is a secure
cloud based hazard monitoring solution providing status notifications and data logging for bucket
elevators and conveyors. Live system status, graphs and historical data can be viewed on any web-
enabled device (smartphone, tablet PC, desktop or laptop computer). Emails can be sent to notify
users whenever a change in the system’s health is detected. An automated maintenance feature
allows site operators to verify that all sensors on the system are operational and working correctly.
You can choose to turn Hazardmon ON (default) or OFF. In order to establish a connection to
HazardMon.com, you will need to configure a network connection. Contact 4B technical support
prior to turning on this feature, 4B will work with your internal IT department to properly configure the
required network settings.
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) - A network protocol that enables a server to
automatically assign an IP address and other related configuration information to a computer from a
defined range of numbers configured for a given network.
You can choose to turn DHCP ON or OFF (default). If you choose ON, the network settings will be
automatic. If you choose OFF, you will need to manually enter all of the network settings.
• Gateway - Is a node (router) on a network that serves as an access point to give entry into different
networks to send email, view web pages, etc.
• Subnet Mask - The subnet mask is a network generated number that identifies the network to
which an IP address belongs. This allows your computer to determine if it is speaking with another
computer within the same network or on a remote network and dictates how your computer
communicates with other computers it encounters. Subnetting is used to improve network security
and performance.
• DNS1 - A domain name server (DNS) is the Internet’s equivalent of a phone book. They maintain a
directory of domain names (URL) and translate them to Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. DNS is
required for translation of hostnames to IP addresses and vice versa; this translation is what makes
sending and receiving email, browsing the web, and numerous other network services work.
• DNS2 - A backup server to DNS1 just in case it were to become unavailable for whatever reason.

Always use dust/liquid tight flexible metal conduit with approved fittings to protect the sensor cables.
Use rigid metal conduit to protect the cables from the sensors to the control unit. Conduit systems can
channel water due to ingress and condensation directly to sensors and sensor connections which over
time will adversely affect the performance of the system. As such, the installation of low point conduit
drains is recommended for all sensors.
All electrical connections are made via 3 sets of terminals provided as shown in image 1.
FUSE RATINGS -
In order to maintain the product certification, all fuses MUST be replaced with equivalent fuses at the
same rating. Failure to do so will invalidate the certification and any warranties which may exist.
Model WDC4V4C -
• F1, F2, F3, F5 200 mA maximum.
• F1 to F3 are used to limit the current available to the sensor inputs.
• F5 is used to limit the current available to the internal electronics.
• F6 is not used.
Model WDC4V46C -
• F1 to F3 2 amp maximum, used to limit the current available to the sensor inputs.
• F5 200 mA, used to limit the current available to the internal electronics.
• F6 2 amp maximum, used to protect the AC power supply.
NOTE
To calibrate speed and utilize the Watchdog’s built-in alarm and shut-down capabilities, a motor
interlock (run) signal is required. For typical motor interlock wiring examples, review the wiring
diagrams for terminals 6 & 7 in the WDC4 manual (section 9).
NOTE
Recommended cable type is Belden 5508FE with 10 conductors each 22 AWG, shielded. Overall
outer diameter is 0.23 inches. Belden 5508FE wire colors are used in all of the sensor wiring
diagrams

WARNING
The unit should ONLY be powered with either a main supply (WDC4V46C model) OR a 24 VDC
(WDC4V4C and WDC4V46C models) NOT BOTH.

Components Whirligig®
Limited
Whirligig®
Universal Shaft Sensor Mount
APPLICATION
The Whirligig is a fully guarded target for easy mounting of motion
sensors. It is a target, bracket and guard suitable for all industry standard
cylindrical or DIN style inductive sensors including 4B’s M100, M300, and
M800 Elite Speed Switches.
METHOD OF OPERATION
The sensor (sold separately) bolts to the Whirligig and the complete
assembly either bolts to the machines shaft through a 1/2” UNC tapped
hole, or is connected magnetically using 4B’s patented Mag-Con™
adaptor. Shaft or machine vibration does not affect the performance of the
sensor, as the whole assembly moves with the shaft. With the Whirligig,
installation of speed sensors is now simple, safe and reliable.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Whirligig® is a fully guarded target for easy mounting of motion sensors. It is a target, bracket
and guard suitable for all industry standard cylindrical (18 and 30 mm) or DIN style inductive sensors
including 4B’s M100, M300, M800 Elite and Milli-Speed switches or P100, P300 and P800 proximity
sensors.
Sensors (sold separately) bolt to the Whirligig® and the complete assembly either bolts to the machines
shaft through a 1/2” UNC tapped hole, or is connected magnetically using 4B’s patented Mag-Con™
adaptor. Shaft or machine vibration does not affect the performance of the sensor, as the whole
assembly moves with the shaft. With the Whirligig, installation of speed sensors is now simple, safe and
reliable.

WARNING
O.S.H.A. requires that all exposed rotating shafts are provided with a full guard. Therefore, this device
and its target must be equipped with a guard.
INSTALLATION
Do NOT remove the Whirligig® target guard cover. The rotating components under the cover could
cause serious injury.
1. There are two options to attach the Whirligig® to the machine’s shaft:
Option A - Use Mag-Con™ magnetic connector. Thread the Mag-Con™ onto the Whirligig® using a
thread locking adhesive (Loctite or similar) and attach the unit onto the machine shaft.
Option B - Drill and tap the center of the machine shaft for 1/2” UNC thread, ensure that the shaft is
tapped 1” deep. Thread the Whirligig® onto the machine shaft with a 5/8” open ended
wrench using suitable thread locking adhesive (Loctite or similar).
2. Fix the white flexible strap to the bottom of the Whirligig® base plate using the supplied screws.
3. Install the sensor to the base plate, leave a 2 mm (approximate) gap between the sensor face and
the target guard cover. Two sets of pre-drilled holes are provided for DIN style rectangular sensors.
For 18 or 30 mm cylindrical sensors, use the supplied universal stainless steel bracket and screws.
4. Wire the sensor in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions while observing all relevant
electrical and OSHA regulations.
5. Fix the white flexible strap to the static structure (if required).

SpeedMaster™
The SpeedMaster with Pulse Pilot is the only device that
accurately tests the calibration of a speed switch, and allows
testing of the alarm and shutdown features of the sensor while
installed on the machine shaft.
The SpeedMaster operates in two modes. Input mode is used
to measure the pulse rate at normal speed. Output mode will
allow the user to simulate underspeed for testing purposes.
The Pulse Pilot fits in the gap between the sensor and the
Patents - target. The Pulse Pilot will have no effect on the operation of
