Vibration-Sensing Switch (TBB)

1 of 1

A vibration-sensing switch is an optional component of the Tru-Balance Box-Type Sifter. When properly
adjusted, the switch detects out-of-balance conditions, minimizing damage to the sifter. This switch activates
when there is vibration or shock above a pre-set level.

Connecting the Switch

c Carefully read the included instructions before installing the vibration-sensing switch. The switch must be
connected to the motor controller in accordance with existing electrical codes.

c The switch should be connected to stop the sifter immediately if the switch activates.

Adjusting the Switch

c The vibration-sensing switch will arrive pre-set. Under normal operating conditions, it should not need
adjusting. However, should adjustment be needed, Great Western recommends adjusting the switch so that
the machine is just able to start without tripping the switch.

c Turn the set point adjustment screw clockwise 1/4-turn to further decrease the sensitivity of the unit.

Turning the set point adjustment screw clockwise decreases the sensitivity to
vibrations, while a counter-clockwise turn increases the sensitivity.
