SERIES KG IMPACT SENSOR KG1 IMPACT SENSOR PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The Series KG Impact Sensor constantly monitors the impact of the mass to which it is attached. It provides a time-based signal driven by two user-defined set points indicating excessive impact. A PLC can interpret this signal and warn of erratic operation or shut down a system to prevent catastrophic failure. The signal is fail-safe meaning a normally closed signal is provided during normal operating conditions. Absence of the signal indicates excessive impact or a problem. When an impact exceeds the non-latching (warning) set...

SPECIFICATIONS & OPERATION: SERIES KG IMPACT SENSOR ± 5g OPERATING FREQUENCY RESPONSE TIME OPERATING TEMPERATURE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION SUPPLY VOLTAGE INSTANTANEOUS IMPACT (Figure 1) As normal impact increases and exceeds the non-latching point, the fail-safe signal drops for 50 milliseconds with every excessive impact. A PLC monitoring the signal can utilize timer logic to issue an appropriate action, alert, or warning. When the impact increases beyond the latching point, the fail-safe signal permanently drops and the PLC can shut the machine down to prevent catastrophic failure. LED STATUS...

ACCESSORIES: SERIES KG SERIES KG PROGRAMMER Features Use of the optional Series KG Programmer unlocks the total potential and flexibility of the Series KG Impact Sensor. With the programmer, the end user is able to modify the circuit type (NPN or PNP), whether the sensor is in dual or single point mode, and what the value of these set points is. In addition, the programmer simplifies setting up the Series KG Impact Sensor. If the user doesn’t know what “normal impact” is or where to start, the programmer has the ability to put the sensor in “learn mode” where the programmer will read the experienced...
