1. INTRODUCTION MRS SERIES – 1. Introduction The MRS001-EK Rotation Sensor is designed to determine the shaft speed of rotating equipment. Measurements from 1 to 1000 RPM are possible. Internally, the device uses a magnetic code wheel that attaches to the shaft with threaded coupling. FOLLOW ALL SAFETY PROTOCOLS. Before working on equipment, use Lockout/Tagout procedure to shutdown Hazardous Energy sources including but not limited to powered circuits, moving Always operate machines with guards in place to avoid the risk of injury or loss of life.
MRS SERIES – 2. SAFETY 2. Safety 2.1. Safety Alert Symbol and Signal Words This safety alert symbol indicates important safety messages in this manual. When you see this symbol, be alert to the possibility of injury or death, carefully read the message that follows, and inform others.
2. SAFETY MRS SERIES – • Always operate system without bypassing alarm controls. Otherwise, follow safety protocols to verify there are no actual hazards including but not limited to heat sources, blockages, lack of guarding, etc. • Validate sensor positions before first operating, after regular system maintenance, immediately after installing replacement parts, and before operating machines.
MRS SERIES – 2. SAFETY • Confined Space Use personal carbon monoxide detector when entering Boot Pit and follow safety protocols for determining whether safe to enter enclosed spaces using necessary equipment. 2.6. Personal Protective Equipment The following Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) should be worn when assembling, operating or maintaining the equipment.
3. INDICATORS MRS SERIES – 3. Indicators The following indicator description is used for troubleshooting sensors outside of the enclosure, and is not meant to be for field diagnostics. Use the EZTest handheld Diagnostic Troubleshooter to test communication and read RPM (Revolutions Per Minute). Figure 2.
MRS SERIES – 4. INSTALLATION 4. Installation The rotation sensor comes assembled in MRS001-EK enclosure kits. The housing is free-standing as it is mounted to the drive shaft of the machine at single attachment point. No brackets are required. The optional magnet used to attach the Rotation Sensor to the machine shaft has an extremely strong attractive force and will move suddenly and rapidly towards any ferrous or magnetic material which may cause injury.
MRS SERIES – 4. INSTALLATION 4.2. Mounting Using a Fabricated Bracket — Deprecated Safety guards are required to protect from personal injury due to pinch point or the disengagement of components. The mounting bracket for sensor must be rigid and able to withstand loads from unexpected sources.
MRS SERIES – 5. COMMUNICATIONS 5. Communications The MRS001–EK Rotation Sensor uses a single-wire communication protocol. The sensor is supplied with 6’6” (2 m) cable terminated with a RJ-11 plug. The sensor connects to the wiring system through an IS barrier powered Field Interconnect Box. The output of the sensor is a single signed 16 bit word.
6. ASSEMBLY MRS SERIES – 6. Assembly Over tightening the shaft screw will permanently damage the plastic code wheel. Use a torque wrench to tighten the screw to the required torque and be certain to use removable thread locking compound on the screw threads. Failure to observe these requirements may result in the speed sensor separating from the machine.
