Page 6: Product Overview
• Always lockout and tagout the machine prior to installation PRODUCT OVERVIEW The Touchswitch™ is an electronic limit switch. When a belt misaligns or a pulley moves over and contacts the sensor, the built in solid-state electronic circuitry detects the lateral force of the belt or pulley and activates a voltage free relay contact. -

The Touchswitch™ hole should be cut into the housing with a 57mm diameter hole saw (Image A), centered on the edge of the belt. The hole should be cleaned and de-burred to avoid the Touchswitch™ puck binding and giving false misalignment alarms. You can mount the Touchswitch™ with 2 of the 4 flange holes, provided they are diagonal from one another. - Page 8 Sometimes this is not possible due to an inspection door, X-PAC or other obstruction. In this case, the Touchswitch™ can be mounted on the top or up side of the head pulley. Try to mount Touchswitches so they are accessible from the head section walkway. Be sure to mount Touchswitches directly across from one another.

Page 9: Standard Wiring
• Touchswitch™ wiring is low voltage DC. • Use shielded cable and keep separate from high voltage cable. • Never run Touchswitch™ cables in the same conduit as 3-phase motor cables. • Track belts and commission plant prior to installing Touchswitches. - Page 10 4B recommends that the machine shuts down when the belt contacts the Touchswitch. If the machine does not shut down and the belt is allowed to continue to rub against the face of the Touchswitch, the hardened stainless steel sensor puck may wear and the heat generated by the friction may cause the thermal fuse to blow.
