2 Balancing holes in the fly wheel

Holes for balancing of the fly wheel mass on top of the motor are not permitted when they are in
the reach of the sensors (see picture below). They could influence the detecting field of the sensor
under certain circumstances (e.g. change of values of electronic parts in the sensor caused by
change of the temperature).
Balancing holes to be avoided!

3 Horizontal and distance setting of sensor

Setting of the sensor regarding distance, alignment to centre line of the hole and parallel alignment
between the lower surface of the fly wheel and the surface of the sensor. Tool: spanner 17/17

3,2 - 3,5 mm*

Surface of lower side of fly wheel

to be best in parallel with surface
of sensor!

* approx. value for type IA 12 ASN 08 NOM1 (Carlo Gavazzi) with following specification:
- M12
- Flush mounting in metal
- NPN
- 8 mm rated operating distance
- Connection: plug
- Operating temperature:
-25° - +70°C (-13° - +158°F)

4 Exposed temperature of sensor

Check temperature in the surrounding of the sensor. Specified temperature range (-25°- + 70°C)
shall not be reached. Higher temperatures could influence a change of the quality of the 24V
pulses provided by the sensor when passing the holes in the fly wheel. This could cause a failure
in the motor speed monitor.

5 Shielding of the sensor cable

The cable for the sensor shall be of a shielded type. When entering the control cabinet the
shielding shall be connected to the housing either with a suitable EMC cable gland or to the
mounting plate by means of a cable clamp (see pictures below – right hand side). The shield shall
be continued until the terminal is reached. Remark: For easy wiring from the cable duct to the
terminals the wire of the cable can run without screen up to 100 mm.

6 Measurement of the speed pulses

Tool needed: oscilloscope

A further way of analysing the quality of the speed pulses is shown in the picture below. By means
of an oscilloscope the speed pulses can be visualized on the screen. Even a record of this picture
can be recorded if this feature is provided by the device.

OK operation: Pulses of the green (upper) and the blue (lower) curve are alternating and a voltage
level between approx. 20 – 24V is reached

Failure operation: Even one false (one additional pulse is occurring – red pulse) in one of the
curves (see green curve (upper)) could cause the stop of the escalator by the speed monitor.
