2.3 Intended use
The device has been designed and constructed exclusively for the intended use described here.
Series EGSHJ 2 electronic overspeed switches are used for speed monitoring, for instance of electrical
and mechanical drives, hoisting gear, and conveying machines.
The electronic overspeed switch EGSHJ 2 is a overspeed switch, which generates a switching signal
for a superior control system. This is realized with opening of a switch contact. As an alternative to this
function, the device can also be used for zero speed detection. Not in addition.
Claims of any type due to damage arising from non-intended use are excluded; the owner bears sole
responsibility for non-intended use.
2.4 Improper use
Do not use the device in potentially explosive areas.
The device must not be subjected to mechanical loads in addition to its own weight and unavoidable
vibration and shock loads that arise during normal operations.
Examples for non-permitted mechanical loads (incomplete list):
Fastening transport or lifting tackle to the device, for example a crane hook to lift a motor.
Fastening packaging components to the device, for example ratchet straps, tarpaulins etc.
Using the device as a step, for example by people to climb onto a motor.
2.5 Personal protective equipment

DANGER!
Life-threatening danger due to electrical shock!
There is an imminent life-threatening hazard if live parts are touched. Damage to
insulation or to specific components can pose a life-threatening hazard.
Therefore:
Immediately switch off the device and have it repaired if there is damage to the insulation
of the power supply.
De-energize the electrical equipment and ensure that all components are connected for
all tasks on the electrical equipment.
Keep moisture away from live parts. Moisture can cause short circuits.
WARNING!
Danger of injury due to rotating shafts and hot surfaces!
Touching rotating shafts can cause serious injuries.
Therefore:
Do not reach into moving parts/shafts or handle moving parts/shafts during operation.
Close to protect from injury all access openings in flanges with the corresponding plug
screw, and provided you exposed rotating components with protective covers.
Do not open covers during operation. Prior to opening the covers ensure that all parts
have come to a zero speed.
The encoder can become hot during prolonged use.
In case of contact risk of burns is existing.
DANGER!
Life-threatening danger if restarted without authorization!
When correcting faults there is danger of the power supply being switched on without
authorization.
This poses a life-threatening hazard for persons in the danger zone.
Therefore:
Prior to starting work, switch off the system and safeguard it from being switched on again.
2.6 Special dangers
Residual risks that have been determined based on a risk assessment are cited below.

3 Technical Data
3.1 Type plate
Type plate example:
The type plate is located on the outside of the housing and contains the following information:
switching contact opens for
approx. 200 - 400 milliseconds
after a change in the angular
position of ± 5°
4 Switching speed range
The electronic overspeed switch EGSHJ 2 has a galvanically insulated switching output. The switching
function isrealized with a semiconductor, the switching speed is set in our factory (switching
hysteresis 10%). Possible value for switching speed is any whole number between 1 and 5400 rpm.
If the set switching speed is exceeded, the switch opens.
It is recommended to save the switch circuit against an overcurrent with a fuse (0,5A).
4.1 Zero speed monitoring
The zero speed monitoring is a function for the control of rotary movements. This function is available
as an alternative to overspeed monitoring, not in addition. The galvanically isolated switching contact
changes the state as soon as the shaft leaves the zero speed.
Functionality:
At a speed of less than 0.25 rpm the zero speed monitoring is activated and the switching contacting
contact is closed. When the zero speed monitoring is activated, the current position value is stored
and monitored for possible changes in the angle of rotation. As a result, very slow or creeping wave
movements can also be detected. In the speed range from 0 to 0.25 rpm, the switching contact opens
for approx. 200 - 400 milliseconds after a change in the angular position of ± 5 °. The possible
switching contact states are shown in the following table.
The switching contact is closed at zero speed (n = 0 rpm).
For rotary movement (n ≥ 0.25 rpm), the switching contact is open.
At a creep motion (0 <n <0.25 rpm), the switching contact opens as soon as a change in the angle of
rotation of more than ± 5 °. After 200 to 400 ms, the switching contact is closed again as long as the
speed is less than 0.25 rpm.

6 Installation and commissioning
6.1 Safety instructions
Personnel
Installation and commissioning must be carried out by skilled technical staff only.
6.2 Technical information
Ambient temperature
The max. permissible ambient temperature depends on the speed and degree of protection of the
device, the signal frequency, the length of the signal cable and the place of installation (please refer to
Chapter 3.3).
Degree of protection
To fulfil degree of protection requirements the diameter of the connection cable must correspond to that
of the cable gland (please refer to Chapter 12 Dimension drawings)!
Deep groove ball bearings
EGS 2 overspeed switches are fitted with maintenance-free, greased "for-life" deep groove bearings.
Bearings must be changed by the manufacturer only. Opening the encoder renders the guarantee null
and void.
Screw retention
We recommend using Loctite® 243 threadlocker (medium strength) on all fastening screws to prevent
loosening.
6.3 Required tools
Spanners: 10 mm, 12 mm, 22 mm (e.g. DIN 894)
Allen keys: 2 mm, 3 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm

6. Close the hollow shaft device with cover (5) and 4 screws (6).
7. Fastening the torque bracket:
Bolt the link rod (8) with screw (9), washer and nut with torque bracket (10).
The ideal angle of torque bracket (10) to the link rod (8) is 90°.
Secure the link heads (11) of the link rod to a fixed point (for example on the motor housing).
6.6 Using the adjustable torque bracket
The torque bracket is supplied completely screwed together. To adjust the length of the torque
