SAFETY NOTICE TO OUR CUSTOMERS
A. In order to maximize efficiency and safety, selecting the right equipment for each operation
is vital. The proper installation of the equipment, and regular maintenance and
inspection is equally important in continuing the proper operation and safety of the
product. The proper installation and maintenance of all our products is the responsibility
of the user unless you have asked 4B to perform these tasks.
B. All installation and wiring must be in accordance with Local and National Electrical Codes
and other standards applicable to your industry. (Please see the article “Hazard
Monitoring Equipment Selection, Installation and Maintenance” at www.go4b.com.)
The installation of the wiring should be undertaken by an experienced and qualified
professional electrician. Failure to correctly wire any product and/or machinery can
result in the product or machine failing to operate as intended, and can defeat its design
function.
C. Periodic inspection by a qualified person will help assure your 4B product is performing
properly. 4B recommends a documented inspection at least annually and more frequently
under high use conditions.
D. Please see the last page of this manual for all warranty information regarding this product.
CUSTOMER SAFETY RESPONSIBILITIES
1. READ ALL LITERATURE PROVIDED WITH YOUR PRODUCT
Please read all user, instruction and safety manuals to ensure that you understand your product
operation and are able to safely and effectively use this product.
2. YOU BEST UNDERSTAND YOUR NEEDS
Every customer and operation is unique, and only you best know the specific needs and capabilities
of your operation. Please call the 24-hour hotline at 309-698-5611 for assistance with any questions
about the performance of products purchased from 4B. 4B is happy to discuss product performance
with you at any time.
3. SELECT A QUALIFIED AND COMPETENT INSTALLER
Correct installation of the product is important for safety and performance. If you have not asked 4B
to perform the installation of the unit on your behalf, it is critical for the safety of your operation and those
who may perform work on your operation that you select a qualified and competent electrical installer
to undertake the installation. The product must be installed properly to perform its designed functions.
The installer should be qualified, trained, and competent to perform the installation in accordance with
Local and National Electrical Codes, all relevant OSHA Regulations, as well as any of your own
standards and preventive maintenance requirements, and other product installation information
supplied with the product. You should be prepared to provide the installer with all necessary installation
information to assist in the installation.
4. ESTABLISH AND FOLLOW A REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
SCHEDULE FOR YOUR 4B PRODUCTS
You should develop a proper maintenance and inspection program to confirm that your system is in
good working order at all times. You will be in the best position to determine the appropriate frequency
for inspection. Many different factors known to the user will assist you in deciding the frequency of
inspection. These factors may include but are not limited to weather conditions; construction work at
the facility; hours of operation; animal or insect infestation; and the real-world experience of knowing
how your employees perform their jobs. The personnel or person you select to install, operate,
maintain, inspect or perform any work whatsoever, should be trained and qualified to perform these
important functions. Complete and accurate records of the maintenance and inspection process
should be created and retained by you at all times.
5. RETAIN AND REFER TO THE OPERATION MANUAL FOR 4B’S SUGGESTED
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION RECOMMENDATIONS
As all operations are different, please understand that your specific operation may require additional
adjustments in the maintenance and inspection process essential to permit the monitoring device to
perform its intended function. Retain the Operation Manual and other important maintenance and
service documents provided by 4B and have them readily available for people servicing your 4B
equipment. Should you have any questions, please call the 4B location who supplied the product or
the 24-hour hotline number in the USA -309-698-5611.

Apply power to the machine and
SLIPSWITCH
.
Ensure that the machine has reached normal running
speed and then place the magnet on the 'Cal' point (located
on label on rear of unit), Count flashes of the green LED to
set the start delay required in seconds, then remove
magnet.
The output LED will echo the setting in seconds, during
which time, automatic calibration to 20% below normal
speed will be carried out.
Recalibration for a Different Setting
If the unit is to be used for a slower speed or with longer
time delay than previously set, the unit may trip out before it
can be calibrated. This can be avoided by applying power
while holding the magnet on the Cal point and removing the
magnet only when the machine has reached normal speed.
Wait for the green LED to illuminate permanently and then
recalibrate as above.
Connections
Introduction
The
SLIPSWITCH
series is designed to detect slippage or
stoppage on elevators, conveyors, fans etc.
The units require no connection with the shaft, have no
moving parts and a virtually unlimited life. They incorporate
microcontroller circuitry which automatically calibrates to
20% under normal speed and provides a programmable 0-
30 second start up delay.
Installation
The Inductive sensor section detects a metal target on the
shaft. The target can be an existing bolt head or similar.
Ideally, the target should be of ferrous metal but non ferrous
metal will be detected at short range. Maximum range
ferrous/non-ferrous materials is 12/5mm with a 30mm
diameter circular target. Smaller targets may be used but
operating distance will be reduced.
The
SLIPSWITCH
should be mounted adjacent to the
target, ensuring that the distance to the target does not
exceed the stated maximum. When mounted against a solid
steel shaft, the target or bolt head should protrude from the
shaft at least 15mm, otherwise the sensor will not be able to
distinguish the target from the shaft and red input light would
stay on permanently.
Wiring to the
SLIPSWITCH
can be any length as required,
using ordinary unscreeened cable. However, if long cable
runs are to be used, the wiring should
not
be positioned
adjacent to cables carrying high voltage or current.
Two locknuts are provided to mount the units in position.
Mount securely to withstand vibration.Ensure that the unit
and target are adequately guarded.
Cabling
Connect the unit as shown in the connections diagram.
Commissioning & Auto-calibration.
Two LED's are provided for information purposes, on the
SLIPSWITCH
. The input LED is red and flashes everytime
a target passes the face of the sensor. The output LED is
green. With normal running, the output LED is a static
green and the output is on (energised).
With an underspeed condition both the LED and output will
be off (de-energised). The
SLIPSWITCH
is factory set to a
speed of 10PPM and a start up time of 5 seconds. If the
time delay required is greater than 5 seconds, see
'Recalibration for a Different Setting', otherwise, proceed as
follows-
