    The TrackSwitch A400 "elite" system uses magnetic sensors instead of rub block sensors to detect misalignment of belts on one or two bucket elevators. It has two monitoring circuits, alarm and shutdown outputs, and optional RS485 communication. The system detects the position of steel bolt heads or buckets on the belt to monitor the belt alignment and has adjustable sensors and settings to filter out normal belt wander.

    TrackSwitch A400 “elite”
    Bucket Elevator Belt Misalignment System

    The TrackSwitch A400 “elite” Elevator Belt Monitoring System uses an electronic control unit and high power magnetic sensors
    (instead of inherently dangerous rub block sensors) to monitor the alignment of the belt in bucket elevators. Each control unit
    incorporates two independent monitoring circuits for early detection of belt misalignment on one or two bucket elevators. The
    magnetic sensors detect the position of steel bolt heads or steel buckets as they pass through the sensor’s adjustable magnetic
    field. Nuisance/false alarms are tuned out of the system during installation by setting a tolerance window on each sensor, which
    allows for normal belt wander. Status lights on the control unit indicate the alignment condition of the belts on the elevators and
    internal alarm and shutdown relay contacts provide warnings and automatic elevator shutdown control during severe belt mis-
    alignment. An optional plug-in module provides RS485 serial communication for similar devices to be connected on a single
    multi-drop loop to a computer or PLC.
