Speedswitch Underspeed Motion Monitor
Operation
An inductive sensing device located in the nose of the M800 enclosure will detect a metal target. This target can be an existing
bolt head or device attached to a shaft. Ideally the target should be ferrous metal but non-ferrous metal will be detected at a short-
er range. A signal is generated by this target on each revolution of the shaft. The M800 is then set to the normal machine RPM by
calibrating with the magnet provided. If the shaft speed falls to 10% or 20% below normal RPM, the M800 provides output sig-
nals via relays for control purposes such as alarm and/or shutdown. An opto-isolated output is provided for tachometers, PLCs
and speed displays.
