OVERVIEW
The Shaft-Trak™ is a Go/NoGo monitor and senses that rotation less than 45
RPM is a stopped or “NoGo” condition and rotation greater than 45 RPM is an
active or “GO” condition. Each shaft or bin is monitored independently of the
others. A GREEN LED light indicates that the respective shaft rotation or bin
level is acceptible. When monitored shaft RPM falls below the minimum of 45
RPM or the level of product in a bin drops below the bin sensor level, the RED
LED will flash and an audible alarm will sound (audible alarm is switchable).
After 45 seconds, the RED LED and alarm will turn off. The system is designed
to be used with either the standard Micro-Trak sensor (black housing) or the
Micro-Trak gear tooth sensor (red housing). Bin level sensors are infrared
optical type.
INSTALLING CONSOLE
Console/Bracket
- See Illustration 1
Select a mounting location that is convenient to reach and
highly visible to the operator. DO NOT INSTALL IN A POSITION
THAT OBSTRUCTS THE VIEW OF THE ROAD OR WORK AREA.
Avoid locations that expose the console to direct sunlight, high
temperature, strong chemicals or rain.
Place the mounting bracket in selected location, mark holes, drill
1/4” (7mm) holes and mount bracket with bolts, lockwashers
and nuts provided. (Use self-tapping screws if not practical to
use bolts.) See Illustration 2.
Place rubber washers on carriage bolts and push the bolts
through the bracket holes from the inside out. Loosely attach
the mount knobs onto the bolts. Place console over carriage bolt
heads and tighten knobs to secure the console. See Illustration 3.
The console bracket can be mounted on either a horizontal or
vertical surface. See Illustration 4.
