ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This manual covers the installation and operation of the DSD-3.

It is essential that this manual be read and understood before installation and start up. Adhering to the
procedures as outlined will insure a quick trouble free installation and allow for the maximum operating
reliability to be achieved.

ABOUT THE DSD-3

The DSD-3 Differential Speed Detector is a dual point motion sensing device. It is used for monitoring speed
at two points in a mechanical system or process where a difference in speed can be detrimental to the
equipment or its operation. The DSD-3 is typically applied on belt conveyors to give an alarm if excessive slip
between the head and tail pulley is detected and is especially useful on variable speed conveyors.

Each speed input is sensed by a motion sensing probe (A and B) located at the point of speed monitoring. As
motion is sensed, the probes generate a signal which is sent to the DSD-3.

The probes are highly magnetic. Keep them away from magnetosensitive
materials such as computer discs and audio or video tapes.

The DSD-3 features:

output signals:
probe A, 0 to 10 V output proportional to speed
probe B, 0 to 10 V output proportional to speed
% Slip, 10 to +10 V output proportional to the percent difference
between probe B referenced to probe A

INSTALLATION
DSD-3
The DSD-3 should be mounted in an area that is within the ambient temperature range and that is suitable for
the specified enclosure. The front cover should be accessible for viewing and have sufficient room to swing
open to allow access for wiring and calibration adjustments.

It is advisable to keep the DSD-3 away from high voltage or current runs, contactors and SCR drives.

In climates where direct sunlight may cause the DSD-3 temperature to rise
above the specified limit, shade the unit by installing a sun shield.

Refer to DSD-3 Outline and Dimensions.

PROBES

The probes should be mounted in areas that are within their ambient temperature range and that are suitable
to their specified approval classification. Probes may be mounted to the equipment they are monitoring
providing that there is not a noticeable amount of vibration.

Probe A is generally reserved for sensing the driver device (head pulley) while probe B is generally reserved
for sensing the driven device (tail pulley).

Refer to Probe Outline and Dimensions.

INTERCONNECTION
Connect the two motion sensing probes to the DSD-3. Refer to DSD-3 Probe Connections.

Connect the DSD-3 relay contacts into the motor control circuitry. Refer to DSD-3 Typical Ladder Diagrams.

Connect the power wiring to the DSD-3 and flip the power switch to On. Refer to DSD-3 Typical Ladder
Diagrams.

OPERATION
MOTION SENSING PROBES and AMPLIFIERS
The Milltronics motion sensing probes work on the principle of Faradays Laws of Electromagnetic Induction.
That is to say, when a ferromagnetic object enters a probes permanent magnetic field, it distorts the flux
causing it to cut the coil windings thereby generating a voltage. This voltage is proportional to the speed at
which the ferrous target passes through the flux and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance
between the target and the probe.

An increase in block size beyond 5 cm x 5 cm x 2.5 cm (2" x2" x 1") tends not to be as effective as minimizing
the gap, except at very low velocities.

The voltage generated from the probe coil is fed to an amplifier for processing. The amplifier may be internally
mounted (IMA) to the probe or remote mounted in an enclosure (RMA). It converts the voltage pulses into
noise immune current pulses of approximately 12 mA low and 45 mA high. The amplifier has been designed
to respond to the range of speed commonly encountered in industrial applications.

This response governs the relationship between target speed and probe to target gap, as demonstrated in the
following chart. The resulting curves indicate the maximum allowable gap for three target configurations at
varying speed. For example, A - with a 10.6 cm (4.25") gap the minimum velocity is about 33 cm/sec (65
ft/min), and with a velocity of 1 cm/sec (2 ft/min), a maximum gap of 3.1 cm (1.25") is possible.

This graph was plotted from tests using four ferrous blocks set equidistantly on a 41 cm (16") diameter circle on a non-ferrous disc.

PL-207 7
Motion sensing probes are manufactured for various applications such as: low temperature, high temperature,
corrosive and hazardous environments. Refer to Specifications.

MSP-1: mini probe is approximately 25% of the size of the standard probe with about 1/8 the sensitivity. By
dividing the gap values for the standard size probe presented in the speed vs gap chart by 8, the
corresponding gap values for the MSP-1 are obtained; e.g.: with a gap of 1.3 cm (0.5") the minimum
velocity is approximately 1 m/sec (200 ft/min) and with a velocity of 0.01 m/sec (2 ft/min), a maximum
gap of 3 mm (0.13") is possible. It is used in areas that can not accommodate the standard size probe
bodies. Due to its small size, the probe body cannot accommodate an IMA amplifier. It is thus used in
conjunction with an RMA.

MSP-3: high temperature probe is a standard size probe featuring an aluminum body. It is used for high
temperature application up to a maximum of 260 C (500 F). As this temperature exceeds the rating
of the IMA amplifier, the MSP-3 must be used in conjunction with an RMA which should be mounted in
a suitable location.

MSP-9: corrosion proof probe is a smooth bodied probe having the same performance characteristics as the
standard probe. It is constructed of 304 stainless steel and is used in conjunction with an RMA so that
it can be applied to corrosive and high temperature applications.

MSP-12: standard probe has a phenolic body with IMA, applicable to a maximum temperature of 60 C
(140 F).

XPP-4: explosion proof probe is suitable for the specified hazardous environments. It uses the standard
probe body and an IMA, limiting it to a temperature of 60 C (140 F).

DSD-3
The DSD-3 provides a short circuit protected, +24 V DC unregulated supply to both of the probe amplifiers. In
the event of the interconnecting wiring being shorted, the output current from the DSD-3 is automatically
limited and a perceived alarm condition will ensue, forcing the on-board relay to de-energize (alarm).

The DSD-3 receives a speed signal from both of the probes, A and B, via their respective amplifiers (IMA or
RMA) superimposed on the direct current supply. Probe A is generally reserved for sensing the driver device
(head pulley) while probe B is generally reserved for sensing the driven device (tail pulley).

The speed signals are processed to derive the following internal signals:
probe A: this is the speed sensed by probe A. It is used as the reference value for differential and speed
computations. A representative 0 to 10 V DC signal is available for external use at terminals 9
and 10, where: 0 V = 0% of full speed
10 V = 100% of full speed

probe B: this is the speed sensed by probe B. A representative 0 to 10 V DC signal is available for
external use at terminals 11 and 12, where: 0 V = 0% of full speed
10 V = 100% of full speed

% slip: this is the difference between probe A and probe B speed signals with reference to probe A. It is
calculated as follows:
%slip = A B X 100
A
A representative 10 V to +10 V DC signal is available for external use at terminals 7 and 8,
where: 10 V = 100% slip, B>A
0 V = 0% slip, B = A
+10 V = 100% slip, B<A

PL-207 8
If the DSD-3 is powered across the line (refer to DSD-3 Typical Ladder Diagrams) and the machinery to be
monitored is not running, the Alarm relay will be de-energized and the Alarm relay LED (12) will be lit. When
the motor contactor is energized, a contact closure across terminals 15 and 16 will initiate the count down of
the start up delay timers and energize the Alarm relay. The timers, if properly set, will allow the machinery to
come up to speed without tripping an alarm. If there is an alarm from the previous operating cycle and the
Auto Reset switch is set to On, the alarm will automatically be reset on start up. If the Auto Reset switch is
set to Off, then the manual reset switch either on the DSD-3 mother board or as the optional reset switch on
the front cover must be pressed.

If the DSD-3 is powered across the motor contactor then all alarms will be cleared when the motor contactor
is de-energized. When the motor contactor is energized and power is applied to the DSD-3, the Start Up
Delay timers will begin counting down as long as terminals 15 and 16 have been jumpered.

Under normal operating conditions, the Alarm relay is held in an energized state and the optional display will
show the selected speed, either of probe A, probe B or percent slip. The Run LED (11) will be lit and the
probe A and B LEDs (1 and 2 respectively) will flash at the rate of the respective incoming pulses.

Under an alarm condition, the First Out and Alarm status LEDs corresponding to the type of alarm will light.
Any subsequent alarms will only light the corresponding Alarm LEDs. Once an alarm condition has been
initiated, the alarm shut down time delay begins to count down. If the alarm condition recovers before the
alarm delay times out, the LEDs will extinguish. If the alarm condition persists and the delay times out, the
Alarm relay LED will light and the relay de-energize. The alarm lights will extinguish but the first First Out
LED (3-6) will remain lit until the alarm is reset, to indicate what caused the shutdown. If the Start Spin Alarm
LED was lit, it will remain so until the alarm is reset.

ALARMS
START SPIN

The Start Spin alarm counts the pulses being generated from the A probe. If the number of pulses reaches
the start spin limit before the first pulse from the B probe is generated, the Start Spin Alarm LED will light
and the relay immediately de-energize, bypassing the alarm shutdown delay. The limit is set via the DIP
switch bank, with a range of 2 to 31 pulses.

This alarm is useful in detecting slippage of a conveyor belt on the head pulley which can occur if the belt is
wet, loose or jammed.

B<A SLIP

If the speed registered by the B probe is less than the speed registered by the A probe by more than the set
limit, a B<A Slip alarm will be initiated. The slip limit is set by its corresponding potentiometer with a range of
0 to 20% of speed A.

This alarm is useful in detecting slippage after the machinery has been running for a period of time. It is
especially useful in detecting slippage on variable speed belt conveyors where othersiwe a single point
monitoring system could not differentiate between slippage and an intentional slow down of the tail pulley.

PL-207 9
B>A SLIP

If the speed registered by the B probe is greater than the speed registered by the A probe by more than the
set limit, a B>A Slip alarm will be initiated. The slip limit is set by its corresponding potentiometer with a
range of 0 to 20% of speed A.

This alarm is useful in detecting slippage on downhill belt conveyors when the motor is used as a brake.

B<Bcal - Underspeed

If the speed registered by the B probe is less than the calibrated full scale speed of the B probe by more
than the set limit, an underspeed alarm will be initiated. The underspeed alarm is set by its corresponding
potentiometer with a range of 0 to 100% of Bcal.

This alarm detects an absolute reduction in speed of the machinery below its allowable limit.

ALARM CARD (optional)

The alarm card provides two relays with independent alarm setpoints. One for overspeed and the other for
underspeed. For overspeed alarm, the A and B probes must be calibrated so that 10 V is greater than full
speed (e.g. full speed equals 7.5 V). A maximum of three alarm cards may be connected to the DSD-3 as
follows:
1 card to alarm on speed of probe A (2RC)
1 card to alarm on speed of probe B (3RC)
1 card to alarm on % slip (4RC)

or 2 or 3 cards can be daisy chained to one of the above via the alarm card Input or To Next Alarm
connectors.

Connection to the alarm cards is made via ribbon connector (#RC as previously indicated). The speed signals
to the cards (pin 6) are homologous to the 0 to 10 V DC output signals. Under an alarm condition the relay
response is immediate, as the relays do not come under the alarm delay circuitry of the DSD-3. The alarms
have a 2% dead band which must be overcome before the alarm condition is reset.

LCD METER (optional)

The LCD meter is used in conjunction with the three position switch. The switch can be set so that the meter
will display either:
probe A speed
probe B speed
slip speed

The LCD can be calibrated to display speed in percent of full scale, revolutions per minute or other desired
units.

ALARM LIGHT AND RESET BUTTON (door mounted - optional)

The optional door mounted alarm light and reset button operate in parallel with the DSD-3 board A Alarm
relay LED and Manual reset button.

CALIBRATION
SPEED
The DSD-3 is factory calibrated for 0 to 10 V DC output for 0 to 7200 pulses per minute (A and B probe
Coarse span switches fully clockwise) so that there will be a percent of full scale reading when starting up.

connect a voltmeter to: % slip output terminals 7 () and 8 (com).

A probe output terminals 9 (+) and 10 ().
B probe output terminals 11 (+) and 12 ().

If the DSD-3 has been supplied with the optional LCD meter and selector switch, it can be used to monitor
the output voltages.

run the machinery being monitored at full speed. If this is not practical, operation can be simulated using a
signal generator and an interface circuit. Refer to DSD-3 Signal Generator Interface.

turn the coarse span switches, A Probe and B Probe, counter clockwise until the respective voltmeters
read between 2.5 V (25%) and 10 V (100%).

adjust the fine span potentiometers, A Probe and B Probe, until the respective voltmeters read 10 V
(100%) for full speed input.

with the A and B probe outputs calibrated for 10 V, the percent slip output should read 0 V.

ALARMS

B greater than A:
adjust the B>A/Alarm setpoints potentiometer to alarm on a B probe speed of 0 to 20% greater than
the A probe speed.
adjust the B>A/Start time delays potentiometer for 0 to 20 sec to allow the machinery to come up to speed
without tripping the alarm.

B less than A:
adjust theB<A/Alarm setpoints potentiometer to alarm on a B probe speed of 0 to 20% less than
the A probe speed.
adjust the B<A/ Start time del ays potentiometer for 0 to 20 sec to allow the machinery to come up to speed
without tripping the alarm.

B underspeed:
set the enable switch to On for underspeed alarm. For variable speed applications, disable the alarm by
setting the switch to Off or set the alarm setpoint to a low value.
adjust the B Underspeed/ Alarm setpoints potentiometer to alarm on a B probe speed of 0 to 100%
under the full scale speed.
adjust the B Underspeed/ Start time delays potentiometer for 0 to 100 sec to allow the machinery to come
up to speed without tripping the alarm.

Start Spin:
set the Start spin switch bank to alarm on 2 to 31 pulses from the A probe before the first Bprobe pulse.
The amount of start spin is usually an indication of slackness in a conveyor belt.

PL-207 11
Auto Reset:
set the Reset//Auto switch to On or Off.

Alarm Delay (not applicable to Start Spin):

set the Alarm shutdown delay potentiometer for 0 to 20 sec after first alarm annunciation. This function is
used to avoid nuisance alarms.

DUAL ALARM CARD (optional)

turn the Near (high alarm) and Far (low alarm) potentiometers fully counter clockwise.

with the machinery running at the required speed for the high alarm setpoint, slowly turn the Near
potentiometer clockwise until the Near relay de-energizes, LED off.

with the machinery running at the required speed for the low alarm setpoint, slowly turn the Far
potentiometer clockwise until the Near relay de-energizes, LED off.

LCD METER (optional)

The LCD meter is factory calibrated for 0 to 100% display for 0 to 10 V DC speed signal level.

To recalibrate the meter, remove the seals of Span potentiometer, P1.

With the machinery running at a known speed, turn the span potentiometer until the display reads the desired
speed (ignoring the decimal) either in rpm, m/sec, ft/min or % of full scale. The maximum display reading is
1999.

Set the jumper to desired decimal point location.
