Introduction
The speed sensor monitors the belt speed. It is directly coupled to a rotating
shaft (i.e. the bend pulley as shown in Table 2-1 on page 4) which drives a
signal generator. The speed sensor submits an output signal at a frequency
directly proportional to the shaft speed. It is typically installed on a non-
driven pulley of a belt conveyor for detecting belt speed.

Safety
Safety Signal Definitions:
DANGER
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result
in death or serious injury. Includes hazards that are exposed when guards are
removed.
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result
in serious injury or death. Includes hazards that are exposed when guards are
removed.
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result
in minor or moderate injury.
IMPORTANT
Indicates information about procedures that, if not observed, could result in
damage to equipment or corruption to and loss of data.
General Safety
Do not operate or work on this equipment unless this manual has been read and

- Take all necessary safety precautions when installing the speed sensor, including wearing safety shoes, protective eyewear, and using the proper tools.
- Do not allow minors (children) or inexperienced persons to operate this unit.
- Do not operate without all shields and guards in place.
- Do not place fingers into slots or possible pinch points.
- Do not use any load-bearing component that is worn beyond 5% of the original dimension.
- Do not use this product if any of the components are cracked.
- Do not exceed the rated load limit of the unit.
- Do not make alterations or modifications to the unit.
- Do not remove or obscure warning labels.
- Keep hands, feet, and loose clothing away from moving parts.

Speed Sensor Dimensions Speed Sensor Wiring Diagram Introduction
920i Pulse Input
1.6 882D Pulse Input
Use the J13 connector on the 882D CPU board to provide pulse input from the
speed sensor to the 882D. Wire the cable to the connector as shown in Figures
1-4. Pins 4, 5, and 6 are the top level of the connector and make up the
primary pulse input channel (Input 1). Pins 1, 2, and 3 are the bottom level
of the connector and make up the secondary pulse input channel (Input 2).
Installation
Install the speed sensor using the following instructions.
WARNING
Ensure that the belt scale is turned off and all power to the unit has been
removed prior to starting the installation of the speed sensor.
- Locate the center of the bend pulley shaft and punch mark.
- Drill 1/4” (6 mm) pilot hole.
- Use a 17/32” (13.5 mm) bit to drill the center of the pulley shaft (minimum 1” deep) (26 mm).
- Tap the drilled hole with a 5/8-11 tap (M16x2).
- Install (thread) the supplied coupling into the tapped hole (may use thread-lock adhesive) and tighten.
- Use supplied bolts, washers, and nuts to connect the anti-rotation arm to the speed sensor.
- Weld a support plate on the conveyor frame at a suitable position.
- Place the anti-rotation arm against the support plate.
- Use the supplied spring to tension the anti-rotation arm against the support plate.
- Secure to a fixed object. Be sure to make the spring in slight tension when connecting the two parts.
IMPORTANT
Do not attach the speed sensor to a driven pulley. A driven pulley may have
belt slippage in certain conditions, which may reduce speed sensing accuracy.
The selected bend pulley should have a suitable diameter. The rotary speed of
the bend pulley should be kept within the detection range of the speed sensor.
The bend pulley should have a minimum of 30 degrees belt wrap to ensure
positive rotation, because any slippage between the belt and the pulley may
cause reduced accuracy of the belt scale.
2.1 Testing
After installation, test unit to ensure proper mechanical and electrical
operations. Make sure the cover is tightly secured and conduit sealed to
prevent entry of water or moisture.
Troubleshooting
- Ensure that the rotary shaft is connected securely to the pulley.
- Ensure the unit is wired correctly and the connections are tight.
- Open the cover of the speed sensor. Ensure that the signal generator works properly.
- If the speed sensor still fails after the above checkpoints have been performed, check the peripheral circuit for fault finding.
IMPORTANT
Do not try to modify or change the components without prior approval of
Rice Lake Weighing Systems. Rice
Lake Weighing Systems will have no liability for any damage caused by the
user’s modification even during the warranty period.
3.1 Spare Parts
Rice Lake Weighing Systems recommends keeping the following spare components
on hand for each unit.
- Anti-rotation arm
- Spring
- Coupling (PN 123146)
FCC Compliance
United States
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the
user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Canada
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise
emissions from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations
of the Canadian Department of Communications.
