micro-trak Shaft-Trak Installation And Operation Instructions

Shaft-Trak
Shaft & Bin Monitor System
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.
