4. Mount the cover (B), spacer (A) and gaskets (E) on
endcover with the 4 screws to a torque of 25 in-lbs.
The electrical enclosure (B) provided can be used as a
junction box for writing the proximity probe t o the outgoing
cable. Follow all local and national electrical codes for wiring
the probe.
With each revolution, the raised surfaces on the rotating
locknut of the USAF/USN or the undercutt on the collar of
the TAF pass the proximity switch which senses the
presence/lack of metal and closes the switch. Each time the
switch is closed an AC pulse is generated. A PLC can then
be used to count the number of pulses and detect speed
changes (see wiring diagram below).
The switch is made for pillow blocks which are grounded via
the mounting frame. An ungrounded block could lead to
electrical shock.

EZLINK Installation:
1. Blocks Equipped with Accelerometers and
Thermocouples:
The installation in this case requires screwing a deviceNet
drop cable from the main trunk to the EZLINK connector. To
communicate to the node, follow the instruction manual
provided with the configuration software disc.
2. Blocks Equipped as in 1 and with Speed Pickup:
Follow the instruction in the previous section for mounting
the proximity probe. Use the three electrical wire connectors
to couple the three pins connector to the proximity probe
wires. Make sure that the wires with matched colors are
connected together. Secure the cover of the conduit box.
Use the cable provided to connect the pins male connector
on the proximity probe conduit box to the EZLINK bottom
three pins female connector. Make sure that the pins are
lined up with holes in the connector. Proceed as in 1 above.
