Principle of Operation:
The M-Series Switches contain a sensor and switching electronics
within the same heavy-duty explosionproof housing. A pulser
disc, or an optional pulser wrap, rotating in front of the sensing
surface produces a control signal which increases with advancing
shaft speed. When the control signal is above the set point setting,
the control relay is energized. When the control signal drops blow
the set point setting, the relay deenergizes. The relay has Form
C Dry contacts rated at 5 amps 115 Vac resistive, so the M100/
M5000 may be used for switching motors and/or alarms.
Pulser Disc:
The end of the shaft to be monitored must be center drilled to a
depth of 1⁄2 -inch with a No. 21 drill and tapped for 10-32UNF.
After applying Loctite® or a similar adhesive on the threads to
keep the pulser disc tight, the pulser disc should be attached,
decal side out, with the supplied 10-32UNF machine screw and
lock washer.
Pulser Wrap (optional)
Pulser Wraps are custom manufactured to fit the shaft they will
be mounted on. When the wrap is shipped, four allen-head cap
screws hold the two halves of the wrap together. These screws
must be removed so that the wrap is in two halves. Place the
halves around the shaft, reinsert the screws and torque them to 5
foot pounds.
Switch Selection Guide:
Refer to the Switch Selection Table, to determine which model is
appropriate for your application. The primary difference between
the M100 and the M5000 is the set point range.
