Simplicity, Reliability, Consistency
The system sensors are specifically designed to monitor
bucket elevators in tough environments. The extended
range magnetic motion and alignment sensors have a
user-adjustable field, which allows detection of moving
elevator buckets or bucket bolts. These sensors are
fail-safe in design and not affected by dust or material
build-up. The Watchdog Elite is easily installed and has
a menu-driven set-up, which enables use on all bucket
elevators.

RS485 Serial Communication as standard, and optional

PLC Interface Board available.
