Introduction
1.1 Overview
The Thermo Scientific Model 60-12 Speed Sensor is designed and constructed for
direct connection to a conveyor tail pulley, snugging roll, or large diameter return
roller.
The speed sensor employs a brushless pulse generator producing a stream of
pulses, each pulse representing a unit of belt travel. Frequency of the pulse stream
is proportional to true belt speed.

Figure 1-1
Model 60-12
Speed Sensor

REC 3016 Rev M 1

1.1.1 Application
The speed sensor is coupled to a rotating shaft which drives a generator inside the
housing. the Model 60-12C Speed Sensor has a useable range between 20 and 200
RPM. The 60-12F is used for speeds from 3 to 30 RPM, and the 60-12G is used for
speeds from 10 to 200 RPM. The 60-12 ENC Speed Sensor has a 500 pulse per
revolution encoder inside, typically is used on slow RPM applications, and has a
range of 0 to 200 RPM. The frequency of the speed sensor output signal is exactly
proportional to shaft speed and provides the required speed input to a Thermo
Scientific Integrator/Totalizer.
1.2 Unpacking and Inspection
The Model 60-12 Speed Sensor has been properly packaged and inspected prior to
shipment. Before unpacking, be certain to check the package for external damage,
as the carrier may often times be held responsible for shipping damage.

1.3 Storage
The Model 60-12 Speed Sensor can be safely stored indoors, with hole plugs
installed, between -50 and +70 degrees C (-58 to +158 degrees F). The unit must be
protected against moisture.

2 REC 3016 Rev M

 Chapter 2
Installation
2.1 Overview
The Models’ 60-12C, F, G and ENC Speed Sensor must be attached to a pulley
shaft which turns at true conveyor belt speed. Normally, the tail pulley shaft or a
snubbing roll shaft satisfies this requirement. In installations where the tail pulley or
snubbing roll shaft is not accessible, an additional pulley must be installed
specifically for the speed sensor (see Section 2.4).
2.1.1 Coupling Installation

Two methods of coupling the speed sensor to the pulley shaft are shown in Figures
2-1 and Figures 2-2. Other methods may work as well, The most important
requirement is that the speed sensor remains free floating and not rigidly coupled to
the conveyor frame.

Note
Never mount speed sensor on a driven pulley
Use the following procedures for coupling installation

2.1.1.1 Method “A”

Locate the exact center of tail pulley or snubbing roll shaft. Figure 5-1 may
be cut out and used as a centering guide. (Refer to Figure 2-1.)
1. Locate circle guide over tail pulley shaft and punch center. Drill a 1-3/4”
deep hole using a 17/32” drill. (Drilling a smaller pilot hole is helpful in
assuring correct centering.)
2. Tap this hole using a 5/8”-11 tap.
3. Clean out oil and dirt with an appropriate solvent and apply a thread lock
retaining compound, such as “LOCKTITE thread locker 262”.
4. Thread in supplied stub shaft coupling (part #037711) so that coupling
collar bottoms out against tail pulley or snubbing shaft. See Figure 2-1.
5. Insert 60-12 speed sensor into coupling. Be sure to align shaft flat spot
with set screws on coupling. Tighten all set screws securely.

REC 3016 Rev M 3

Figure 2-1
Method A Installation

2.1.1.2 Method “B”

If customer’s tail pulley shaft has a 5/8” diameter stub shaft extending from
it and is concentric with the centerline of the driving shaft, use part #002931
to couple 60-12 speed sensor to tail pulley shaft. (Refer to Figure 2-2.)
This coupling is not supplied with the speed sensor but may be purchased
separately from Thermo Fisher Scientific.
It would be advisable to provide two flat surfaces, 90º apart, on the stub
shaft for a good set screw holding power.
NOTE
If possible, weld coupling to tail pulley shaft. Do not weld to any part of 60-
12 speed sensor.
Align shaft flat spots with set screws on coupling. See Figure 2-2. Tighten
all set screws securely.

Method B Installation

4 REC 3016 Rev M

2.2 Restraint Arm Installation
1. Attach restraint arm to speed sensor with two (supplied) 5/16” x 1-1/4” bolts. See
Figure 2-3. The restraint arm should be mounted in a direction that will allow the
sensor restraint arm to twist against the mechanical stop and in the direction of
belt travel.
2. Weld or otherwise secure an appropriate mechanical stop such as a piece of
scrap iron (or a bolt) to the conveyor frame. Rotate restraint arm to let it rest on
the stop. See Figure 2-3. Make the mechanical stop large enough to
accommodate some lateral movement of the restraint arm.
3. Fit one end of the supplied restraining spring through the hole in the end of the
restraint arm. Attach the other end to the conveyor frame. Location should be
such as to give a 1/2 inch spring stretch. Do not over-tighten spring as this may
cause premature failure. See Figure 2-3.
4. Although not required, it is recommended that a rock or step shield be fabricated
and installed around the speed sensor.

5. Do not connect power to the machine or turn on the unit until you have read and
understood this entire chapter. The precautions and procedures presented in this
chapter must be followed carefully to prevent equipment damage and protect the
operator from possible injury.
NOTE
The purpose of this mounting arrangement is to allow the speed sensor to “float” and
accommodate any slight misalignment of the coupling. Therefore, no resultant
bearing stress is applied due to misalignment, nor will a slight “wobble” of the device
result in electrical errors.

2.3 Alternate Sensor Location

In installations where the tail pulley or snubbing roll shaft is not accessible and
additional pulley must be installed specifically for the speed sensor. When using an
additional pulley for the speed sensor, the following requirements are essential:
1. Select the proper pulley diameter to provide a shaft RPM within the range of the
speed sensor (at rated belt speed or over the range of belt speeds that are of
concern).
2. Locate the pulley on the clean side of the return belt to minimize material build up
on the pulley.
3. Install the unit in such a manner as to provide 15 to 30 degrees contact wrap on
the pulley. Any slippage between belt and pulley will decrease the belt scale
accuracy.

CAUTION
Unless the installation is consistent with the
illustrations shown in Figure 2-1, Figure 2-2,
Figure 2-3, and as described above, the
warranty on the device is void

REC 3016 Rev M 5

Figure 2-3
Mounting Illustration

1. Speed Sensor must not be mounted rigid. Use restraint arm and
retaining spring. Mechanical stop and spring mount are by others.
2. Attach spring in location such as to give 1/2” spring stretch.
3. All wiring by others in accordance with system field wiring diagram and
applicable codes.

8 REC 3016 Rev M

2.4 Electrical Wiring
Use the following procedures to make electrical connections:
1. Remove the terminal strip cover (Figure 1-1) and the dust plug from the threaded conduit
aperture in the speed sensor housing.
2. Install 1/2 inch flexible conduit to the speed sensor housing.
3. For 60-12C speed sensor, use Beldon 8760 or equivalent, 2 conductor, 18 AWG,
shielded, when total length between speed sensor and totalizer is 200 feet or less. Use
Beldon 8780, 2 conductor, 16 AWG, shielded when total length is 201 to 3,000 feet.
For 60-12F, G, or ENC models, use Beldon 8772 or equivalent, 3 conductor, 20 AWG,
shielded. Maximum distance is 200 feet.
4. Do not put speed sensor cables in the same conduit as power wiring.
5. Connect one wire to each of terminals 15, 16, and 17 as shown in Figure 2-4. (No
connection is needed to terminal 17 for 60-12C speed sensor.) Replace the terminal
strip cover.

CAUTION
The three wires connecting the speed sensor
to the integrator/totalizer must be shielded.
Refer to system wiring diagram for proper
shield termination.

Operation
3.1 Overview
The speed sensor element employs a brushless, pulse generator which produces a
stream of pulses, each pulse representing a unit of belt travel. The frequency of the
pulse stream is proportional to true belt speed. The pulse output signal is fed to the
Integrator/Totalizer..
3.2 Model 60-12C
The Model 60-12C supplies the output of the generator directly to the totalizer for high speed
operation (20-200 RPM).

3.3 Model 60-12F

Speed sensor Model 60-12F is designed for use in low speed systems (3 to 30
RPM). The 60-12F outputs 200 pulses per revolution, and requires and external
power source of 15 to 30 VDC to operate. It contains a two-phase servo generator.
The rotor is a 50-slot permanent magnet that is rotated in the stators. This results in
two AC signals that are out of phase with each other. The output frequency is
determined by the follows: RPM x 3.33 = Hz. The output signal is approximately
equal to the supplied voltage at terminal 17. Operation is as follows.

1. Referring to Figure 3-4, the two AC signals are applied to R-1 and R-5 while the
common is connected to 2-2, pin 1.Z-2, pin 1 supplies a center reference voltage
for Z-2 pins 9 and 13. As the voltage signal from the generator moves Z-2, pins
10 and 12 above and below the center reference voltage the outputs of Z-2, pins
8 and 14 switch from one state to the other. They are maintained in these states
by the action of the two feed back resistors, R-4 and R-8.
2. The exclusive or gate that these two outputs feed into merely serves to combine
them. The portion of Z-2 connected to pins 1 and 2 of Z-1 serves to provide
some integration that will eliminate most signal jitter caused by vibration.
3. Due to the sensing of the signal level changes of the two phase generator, the
output of this model is increased/ RPM x 3.333 = Hz, or 200 pulses per
revolution.

3.4 Model 60-12G
The Model 60-12G is a modified 60-12F, in which C5 has been jumpered out. See
Figure 3-4. The 60-12G puts out 100 pulses per revolution, and has an RPM range
of 10 to 200 RPM. The output frequency is determined as follows: RPM x 1.666 =
Hz. As with the 60-12F, the 60-12G puts out approximately the voltage supplied at
terminal 17. See Figure 3-3. The 60-12G requires an external power source of 15 to
30 VDC to operate.
3.5 Model 60-12 ENC
The Model 60-12 ENC (500) has a 500 pulse per revolution encoder with an internal
pull up resistor. The output is approximately the voltage supplied at Terminal 17.
See Figure 3-3. The 60-12 ENC requires an external power source of 5 to 24 VDC
at 60 mA to operate.

Dear Customer,
Thank you for using our in-house repair service. To expedite your repair, control costs, and ensure that safety requirements are met please
follow these simple steps.
1. Send in a copy of this completed form with a copy of your PO to the fax or email listed above. An RMA will not be issued without a
hard copy PO on file.
2. Once an RMA has been issued, you will be sent a shipping label noting your RMA number and the address to ship the parts back to.
The assigned RMA number is valid for 30 days from the date of issuance. If your part(s) is not received within 30 days, your PO will
be cancelled and a new RMA will be required. All parts for repair MUST reference a valid RMA number or the part will be returned
at your cost.
3. Please do not ship partial shipments. Your return must be complete. Any parts received separately will require a separate RMA
and PO. Return only those products which are authorized by the RMA. Additional products that are sent without approval may be
returned to you.
4. If a product is determined to be a “no defect found” then an evaluation fee of $250.00 per part ($500.00 per full system) sent in will
be charged.

Thank you for giving Thermo Fisher Scientific the opportunity to satisfy your service needs. You can contact me by sending an e-mail to
__________________________________ or by calling 1-800-445-3503.
