| Technical Application Notes: Exhaust Fan in Industrial Plant Situation: Technicians in an industrial plant need to know when a belt has broken on any of the exhaust fans in their building. Sometimes the exhaust fan stops completely after belt breakage, but usually it continues to rotate because of a backdraft. The motor runs and the exhaust fan rotates, but independent of each other. Solution: Mount a Magnetic Disk to the shaft on the exhaust fan and align a ZS09R Zero Speed Switch to the Magnetic Disk. Set the ZS09R trip point for 100 RPM. When the fan speed drops below 100 RPM, the ZS09R Zero Speed Switch signals the PLC, indicating a broken belt. © 2008 Phares Electronics, LLC Telephone: 813-262-0680 Email: Sales@PharesElectronics.com Home | Products | Manuals | Illustrations | About Us | Contact |
