Watchdog™ Elite Hazard Monitoring System for Bucket Elevators and Conveyors
The Watchdog™ Elite (WDC3) is a microprocessor controlled unit with combined belt speed, belt alignment, bearing temperature, pulley alignment and plugged condition monitoring for bucket elevators and conveyors. An LCD screen displays machine status messages (available in four different languages) and a super-bright LED display shows belt speed. Calibration and set-up parameters are accessed via a password and front panel touch buttons.
Features:
• Designed for One Elevator Leg or Conveyor
• Monitors: Belt Speed, Belt Alignment, Bearing Temperature,
Pulley Alignment & Plug Conditions
• Fully Programmable via Front Panel Touch Buttons

Bearing Temperature Sensor
The ADB series have been designed to allow the depth of the sensor to be adjustable. They screw directly into a bearing housing through the
existing grease zerk thread. Each sensor is fitted with a grease
zerk to allow lubrication of the bearing without the need for removal of the sensor.
The ADB Sensor Tester has been designed to test 4B adjustable depth bearing (ADB) temperature sensors in the field.
During planned maintenance or periodic testing, this diagnostic tool to verify the alarm and shutdown sequences of the control unit are functioning as expected.
The Touchswitch™ is an electromechanical limit-switch with no
moving parts, which detects tracking and misalignment
problems on bucket elevators and conveyors. Unlike a rub block that utilizes friction (heat) to activate, the Touchswitch is pressure sensitive for safer and more reliable monitoring.
WDA series are non-contacting extended range magnetic proximity sensor, not affected by dust or material build up, used to detect moving ferrous material up to 3 inches away from the sensor.
The P800 detects the presence of metallic objects
in hazardous areas such as handling, storage, packaging, conveying,
and processing. It also can detect the position of doors, slides,
gates and containers.
The SpeedMaster™ with Pulse Pilot is the only device that accurately tests the calibration of a speed switch, and allows testing of the alarm and shutdown features of the sensor while installed on the machine shaft.
The Rotech rotary shaft encoder is used primarily for protecting equipment and personnel from dangerous underspeed/belt slip conditions in extreme environments.
The Binswitch detects level or plug situations for bulk granular solids or liquids in tanks, bins, or silos and can be used as a plug or choke detector in chutes, conveyors and elevator legs.
The Roto-Level series are electromechanical rotary level indicators for point level indication of bulk granular solids in bins, tanks, silos. Available with vertical extensions up to 14 feet.
The Auto-Set™ series are RF capacitance point level indicators with push button calibration and material build-up compensation for high, intermediate or low level detection of liquid, powders or free-flowing granular solids. Once the unit is calibrated for a specific application, it never has to be re-calibrated. Available with vertical extensions up to 33 feet.
The optional Watchdog™ PLC interface board (WDPLCB2V4C) provides additional alarm relay contacts for under speed, misalignment, and bearing temperature.
F500 Elite Fieldbus Gateway
The F500 is a communications gateway that allows for single point access to a Watchdog™ Elite system via Fieldbus protocol. Fieldbus communication protocols supported include: Ethernet IP, Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU, DeviceNet, Profibus and others.
