A. INTRODUCTION

1. USAGE

The model CMS motion sensing control is a compact switch designed to include all mechanical and
electronic components into a single housing. It will produce an output signal at a predetermined speed
which may be over-speed, under-speed or zero-speed. Rugged, heavy-duty construction combined with
solid state electronics and photo-electric technology makes this one of the most advanced motion
detectors available. Model CMS protects all valuable rotating equipment including belt conveyors, bucket
elevators, rotary feeders or screw conveyors. It operates in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction and
mounts in any position.

2. HOW IT OPERATES

The model CMS senses motion by means of a precision metal disc mounted on the input shaft. This disc
generates measurable light pulses by a series of slots on its periphery, which rotate past an infrared light
source. A photo-electric sensor monitors the series of light pulses and converts them to digital electronic
signals. Solid state circuitry then analyzes the digital signals and activates or de-activates the output relay
at the pre-set speed.

Field adjustment of the signal set point is easily accomplished by means of an adjustment screw on the
electronics. For under-speed sensing, the signal point is set below the normal operating speed of the unit.
The output relay will then de-energize if the speed drops below the signal point. For over-speed sensing,
the pick-up point is set above the normal operating speed. The output relay will energize if the speed
exceeds the pick-up point. Zero-speed sensing can be accomplished by turning the adjustment screw to
its minimum setting. The output relay will then de-energize when the shaft speed of the unit approaches
zero.

C. INSTALLATION

1. LOCATION & MOUNTING

The model CMS motion switch can be mounted for operation in any position. The surface to which the
switch is affixed should be as flat and as smooth as possible. Bearing brackets and shim plate sets
(models 311, 312, 313) can be used to mount the unit directly to the pillow block supporting a shaft. On
installations where vibration conditions are not extreme, use ¼” (6 mm) diameter machine bolts with lock
washers through the four mounting holes in the base of the switch. Mounting bolts and lock washers are
not furnished with the switch. If vibration conditions are extreme, use of a doweling is recommended
through two mounting holes in the switch base. The switch should be mounted as axially in line, and/or
parallel as possible to the existing shaft, which is to drive the switch. The model CMS motion switch can
be driven by one of the following means:

FIGURE 1: Suggested Coupling Arrangement, side view. Direct connection through a coupling (preferred
means). Note: Switch should be concentric with the mating shaft. If Stub is used, it must be concentric
with the main shaft. If a stub shaft is required, we suggest the use of a 5/8” (16 mm) stub shaft. Use with
a split or flexible type coupling.

FIGURE 2: Cog Belt Drive (timing) or Roller Chain Drive: A V-Belt drive is not as desirable because of
possible slippage.

Remove end cap to expose terminals and pick-up speed adjustment screw. Wire input power from source
to terminals L1 & L2. Be certain to use the provided ground screw. The output of the model CMS is a
DP/DT relay. There are two sets of output contacts. Each set includes normally open, normally closed
and common. As a result, the unit can be used to control two separate circuits such as a motor starter
and a signal light.

3. CONDUIT INSTALLATION:

Use only hubs of suitable sizes that are UL/CSA approved for WATERTIGHT use. Install per the hub
manufacturer’s instructions. Be sure the location selected will provide adequate wire bending space.

4. SIGNAL SET POINT

FOR USE AS UNDERSPEED SWITCH:

Select the speed range required by changing the switch to LOW for 0.1 to 10 RPM, MEDIUM for 1 to 100
RPM and HIGH for 10 to 1000 RPM. Turn the set point potentiometer to the counter-clockwise stop. With
motion present on the input shaft and at normal operating RPM, the yellow L.E.D. should blink. The green
L.E.D. should turn on indicating that the output relay is energizing. Slowly turn the set point adjustment
screw clockwise until the output relay de-energizes and the green L.E.D. turns off. (A “click” will occur at
this point.) Back up until the output relay energizes. Thus, when speed drops below the set point, the
green L.E.D. should turn off indicating that the output relay is de-energized. NOTE: Typically, the motor
contact is wired in series with one of the N.O. output contacts and an alarm is wired with one of the N.C.
output contacts.

FOR USE AS OVERSPEED SWITCH:

Select the speed range required by changing the switch to LOW for 0.1 to 10 RPM, MEDIUM for 1 to 100
RPM and HIGH for 10 to 1000 RPM. Turn the set point potentiometer to the counter-clockwise stop. With
motion present on the input shaft and at normal operating RPM, the yellow L.E.D. should blink. The green
L.E.D. should turn on indicating that the output relay is energized. Slowly turn the set point adjustment
screw clockwise until the output relay de-energizes and the green L.E.D. turns off. (A “click” will occur at
this point.) With the potentiometer on that setting, if the speed increases the output relay will energize.
NOTE: Typically, the motor contact is wired in series with one of the N.O. output contacts and an alarm is
wired with one of the N.C. output contacts.

FOR USE AS A ZERO SPEED SWITCH:

Select the LOW speed range by changing the switch to LOW for 0.1 to 10 RPM. Turn the set point
potentiometer to the counter-clockwise stop. This will give a set point of 0.1 RPM. Thus, when the speed
drops below 0.1 RPM, the output relay will de-energize.
NOTE: Wiring should be the same as for under-speed applications.

5. TIME DELAY SETTING

The model CMS motion sensing control has a start-up delay that is adjustable up to 45 seconds. This
setting should be set, depending on the application and the length of time it takes for the conveyor to
reach its normal operating RPM. This time delay takes effect upon power-up of the model CMS after
shutdown. AC power to the model CMS must be interrupted for timer to be reset. This delay only effects
start-up, avoiding nuisance star-up alarms.
