1.2. APPLICATION
The CS-BRT20 Belt Rip and Tear Detectors are applied on medium to long conveyor
belts in industrial and mining applications. They are positioned after loading and
offloading points on the conveyor belt, as these are the points where damage is most
likely to occur.
Once the photoelectric beam has been broken by a torn piece of conveyor belting, the
unit operates and issues a trip output to trip the conveyor belt. This trip output status
is sustained, thus preventing the belt from restarting until it has been reset via the
Reset pushbutton.
Should the Reset button be forced in the ON position for longer than 10 seconds
– the
unit will issue a Fault output. The trip output will not be disabled and will still operate
under a belt rip condition.

Typical installation positions
The units can accommodate both AC and DC power inputs thereby reducing required
spares holding. They are modular in design so are easily serviced.
The Belt Rip and Tear Detector is configured for local use via onboard DIP switches
or for remote connectivity via the
Circular Configurator
application. This software
