Coupling breakage monitoring
These self-contained rotation speed monitoring sensors have the special feature of
822138

incorporating, in the same case, the pulse sensing and processing electronics as well as the
output switching amplifier that are required to establish an integrated rotation monitoring device.

The unit provides an economical solution for detecting slip, belt breakage, drive shaft shear and
overloading, etc., in the following applications: conveyor belts, bucket elevators, Archemedian
screws, grinders, crushers, pumps, centrifugal driers, mixers, etc.

2 Operating principle
The output signal of this type of sensor is processed by an impulse comparator incorporated in
the sensor. The impulse frequency Fc generated by the moving part to be monitored is
compared to the frequency Fr preset on the sensor. The output switching circuit of the sensor is
in the closed state for Fc > Fr and the open state for Fc < Fr.

Sensors XSAV are particularly suitable for the detection of underspeed: when the speed of the
moving part Fc falls below a preset threshold Fr, this causes the output circuit of the sensor to

switch off.

- +
Note: Following power-up, the operational status of the sensor is subject to a delay of 9 seconds
in order for the moving part being monitored to run-up to its nominal speed. During this time, the
1
output of the sensor remains in the closed state.

Adjustment of frequency threshold
b Adjustment of sensor’s frequency threshold: using potentiometer, 15 turns approximately.
b To increase the frequency threshold: turn the adjustment screw clockwise (+).
b To decrease the frequency threshold: turn the adjustment screw anti-clockwise (–).

(1) For a 5 m long cable add L05 to the reference, for a 10 m long cable add L10 to the reference.
Example: XSAV11373 becomes XSAV11373L05 with a 5 m long cable.
(2) These sensors do not incorporate overload or short-circuit protection and therefore, it is essential to connect a 0.4 A “quick-blow” fuse in series with the load,
see page 118.
(3) For a sensor without a “run-up” delay following power-up, replace XSAV1 in the reference by XSAV0. Example: XSAV11801 becomes XSAV01801 without a
“run-up” delay. For a reduced “run-up” delay of 3 s, replace XSAV1 in the reference by XSAV3.
