The Model 61-12 C (FM) is Factory Mutual (FM) approved for Class I, Division II, Groups D and Class II, Divisions I and II, Groups E, F, G. Figure 1-1. Model 61-12C Speed Sensor Thermo Fisher Scientific REC 3449 Rev M...
Introduction Unpacking and Inspection Application The speed sensor is coupled to a rotating shaft which drives a generator inside the housing. The Model 61-12 C Speed Sensor has a usable range between 20 and 200 RPM. The frequency of the speed sensor output signal is exactly proportional to shaft speed and provides the required speed input to a Integrator/Totalizer.
Chapter 2 Installation Overview The Model 61-12 C Speed Sensor must be attached to a pulley shaft which turns at true conveyor belt speed. Normally, the tail pulley shaft or a snubbing roll shaft satisfies this requirement. In installations where the tail pulley or snubbing roll shaft is not accessible, an additional pulley must be installed specifically for the speed sensor.
Installation Overview Figure 2-1. Method A Installation Method “B” If customer's tail pulley shaft has a 5/8" diameter stub shaft extending from it and is concentric with the centerline of the driving shaft, use part #002931 to couple 61-12 speed sensor to tail pulley shaft. (Refer to Figure 2-2.) This coupling is not supplied with the speed sensor but may be purchased separately from Thermo Fisher Scientific.
Installation Restraint Arm Installation Restraint Arm 1. Attach restraint arm to speed sensor with two (supplied) 5/16" x Installation 1-1/4" bolts. See Figure 2-3. The restraint arm should be mounted in a direction that will allow the sensor restraint arm to twist against the mechanical stop and in the direction of belt travel.

Installation Alternate Sensor Location CAUTION. Unless the installation is consistent with the illustrations shown in Figures 2-1, 2-2, and 2-3, and as described above, the warranty on the device is void. REC 3449 Rev M Thermo Fisher Scientific...
Installation Alternate Sensor Location Figure 2-3. Mounting Illustration 1. Speed Sensor must not be mounted rigid. Use restraint arm and retaining spring. Mechanical stop and spring mount are by others. 2. Attach spring in location such as to give 1/2” spring stretch. 3.

Installation Alternate Sensor Location 5/8-11 A0041d A0041a A0041c A0041b 1. Speed Sensor to be driven by conveyor tail pulley shaft or by special return roll. 2. Unit must be directly coupled to driving shaft. Do not drive with chains, belts, gears, etc. 3.
Installation Electrical Wiring Electrical Wiring WARNING. This device is rated for use in areas described as: Class I, Division 2, Group D, and Class II, Divisions 1 and 2, Groups E, F, and G as defined by the National Electrical Code (NEC).

Installation Electrical Wiring CAUTION. The speed sensor must be connected to a solid earth ground. A ground terminal screw (green) is connected to the housing by Thermo Fisher Scientific. Earth ground wire to be provided by others. See Figure 2-4. Notes: 1.
Chapter 3 Operation Overview The speed sensor element employs a brushless, pulse generator which produces a stream of pulses, each pulse representing a unit of belt travel. The frequency of the pulse stream is proportional to true belt speed. The pulse output signal is fed to the Integrator/ Totalizer.

Chapter 4 Maintenance Overview When performing scale calibration, it is a good practice to inspect the shaft cou- pling for tightness. Also verify that the restraint arm is free to move. If arm has worn a slot in the restraint stop and the restraint bar cannot float back and forth as well as against the spring, corrections should be made.
