Frequently Asked Questions
How does a chute blockage detector work?
The detector is installed on the side wall of the chute. When materials start to accumulate and block the chute, they push against the deflection plate of the detector, causing it to tilt. This action triggers internal microswitches to send out switching signals to stop the conveyor feed and prevent further blockages.
Where is the optimal installation location for the detector?
It should be installed on the side wall of the chute in an area that is not directly impacted by normal falling materials. This prevents false alarms and extends the service life of the switch.
Does this blockage switch automatically reset?
Yes, the unit features an automatic reset mechanism. Once the blocked material in the chute is cleared and the pressure on the deflection plate is released, the switch returns to its normal state automatically.
Can the detector withstand harsh environmental conditions?
Absolutely. The box surface is sprayed with plastic for excellent corrosion resistance, and it has an IP54 protection rating to protect against dust entry and water splashes, operating reliably between -40°C to 50°C.
What type of output signals does the switch offer?
The device provides both Normal Open (NO) and Normal Closed (NC) outputs utilizing 2 × SPDT contacts rated at AC 415V 5A and DC 24V 3A, allowing for flexible system integration.
