Series DSS Direct-Contact Speed Switch
Specifications - Installation and Operating Instructions
The Series DSS Direct-Contact Speed Switch is a compact switch designed to
include all mechanical and electronic components in one housing. It will produce an
output signal at a predetermined speed which may be either over-speed, under-speed
or zero-speed. Rugged, heavy-duty construction combined with solid state electronics
and photo-electric technology makes this one of the most advanced motion detectors
available. Series DSS protects all valuable rotating equipment including belt conveyors,
bucket elevators, rotary feeders or screw conveyors. It operates in a clockwise or
counter-clockwise direction and mounts in any position.
