Watchdog Elite bucket elevator monitor
A multi-functional hazard monitor using non-contact, magnetic sensors to monitor belt speed and alignment at the head/boot is available from 4B Braime Elevator Components. The Watchdog Elite can also check bearing temperature, head pulley alignment and blockages through the use of additional sensors.
The system incorporates dual microprocessor control, using the latest PIC microprocessors and non-volatile (EEPROM) memory chips. An LCD screen displays elevator status messages (available in four different languages), while a super-bright LED screen conveys belt speed.
The Watchdog Elite automatically selects supply voltages from 100VAC to 240VAC, and sensors are supplied with fully regulated 12VDC. Voltage-free isolated relay contacts are provided for alarm, stop, under-speed, misalignment and temperature. RS485 communication is also available for connection to plant computers/PLCs.
