Hawkeye 934 microprocessor-based current status switches provide a unique solution for accurately monitoring status of motors controlled by variable frequency drives. The H934 stores the sensed amperage values for normal operation at various frequency ranges in non-volatile memory. This information allows the device to distinguish between a reduced amp draw due to normal changes in the frequency and an abnormal amp drop due to belt loss or other mechanical failures.
APPLICATIONS- Monitoring positive status on motors controlled by variable frequency drives
- Replacing pressure switches
Microprocessor-based…real labor saver…No need to calibrate to detect belt loss on VFDs- Self-adjusting trip point…factory programmed to detect belt loss undercurrent conditions
- Provides accurate status for VFD loads
- Automatically compensates for the effects of frequency and amperage changes associated with VFDs
- LED indicates normal and alarm conditions
- Huge labor savings—no need to calibrate in live starter enclosures...install and go
- Available with a relay...status and control in one package, saving time and space
- Bracket can be installed in three different configurations...added flexibility
Accurately detects belt loss and coupling shear on VFD driven motors- Monitors both frequency and amperage...distinguishes normal drops in amperage due to frequency changes from abnormal drops due to mechanical failure
