INSTALLATION
Step 1
Select a suitable mounting location for the module. The primary location is the tail pulley and the
secondary location is the take-up pulley.
Step 2
Weld or otherwise attach a piece of 1/2” keystock or a large nut to the roller edge as shown in
figure 1.
Step 3
Using the clamp and bracket provided, position the module so that the pick-up-face is as close to the
keystock as possible without touching to prevent damage and wear. This distance should not
exceed 3/8” or nuisance tripping may result. Optimum distance is 1/4” . An indication light is built
into the rear of the module in order to check proper positioning and operation.
Note:
Little Speedy should be mounted between 1/8 and 3/8 from a moving target. The movement
of the target across the magnetic field of the sensor will reflect the speed of the target you are
monitoring. For example, if mounted on the tail pulley of a conveyor belt, as the spokes or even a
welded bolt rotate past the speedy’s sensor it will monitor the rate at which it passes. This makes it
possible to monitor for low belt speed ( meaning excessive amount of material ) or high belt speed
( meaning little to no material on the belt ).
