1.1Intended use
The belt misalignment switches HES and SEL are used
for monitoring the true running of continuous conveyors.
The switches serve to protect the belts from being damaged or destroyed if the belt deviates from its designed
running line. The device is intended for use in stationary
installations and vehicles.
The documentation at hand is to be considered part of
the product and must be retained and be available to the
respective owner/user for the entire service life of the
product. The documentation must be passed on to each
subsequent owner of the product.
CONFIDENTIAL
The manufacturer is not liable for personal injury and
property damage arising from non-intended use of the
device or unauthorized modifications to the device and
its components. Make sure that the intended use is not
impaired in any way even after unexpected outside influence on the device.
Intended use refers specifically to the operation of the
device in accordance with these operating instruc-
tions. Work on this device may only be carried out by
qualified personnel who are familiar with accident prevention regulations as well as other generally recog-
nized safety regulations.
By using the equipment as intended, you protect
yourself and prevent damage to the equipment and
its components.
1.2Design of warnings
Risks are classified in accordance with ISO 3864-2 and
ANSI Z535.6 using the keywords
•“Danger,” “Warning,” and “Caution” in the case of
bodily injury,
•“Beware” in the case of property damage, and
•“Note” to convey general information.
In this documentation, the Risks and Notes are classified
and presented as follows:

!
2.1Transport and packaging
Select suitable packaging when sending the device or
components of the device to Vossloh Kiepe GmbH, e.g.
for repairs. In particular, ensure that the components are
kept clean and protected from shock and moisture. This
prevents damage to the components that may occur during transport, for which the manufacturer accepts no liability.
2.2Storage
Avoid major temperature fluctuations, as these can lead
to condensation that can cause damage to the device
CONFIDENTIAL
and its components.
Permissible storage temperature: see Chapter 4: „Tech-
nical data", page 10
2 Transport, storage and disposal
Damage caused by storage
Dirt or water getting into the device and exposure to
weather (e.g. buildup of condensation in the device,
sunlight) damage the device and lead to faster deterioration.
Protect the device by storing it in a clean, dry place under stable ambient conditions. If possible, store the device in its original packaging.
2.3Disposal
Only materials that are not considered hazardous according to current engineering practice are used for
Vossloh Kiepe GmbH products. Furthermore, we develop products that can be recycled after intended use. In
our selection of raw materials and components, we favor
reusable materials. This choice of materials used does
not compromise product safety in any way.

3Description
Belt misalignment switches are used in conveyor belt
systems subjected to especially severe operating conditions for monitoring the true running of continuous conveyors (see section 1.1: „Intended use“, page 5). The
belt misalignment switches serve to protect the belts
from being damaged or destroyed if the belt deviates
from its designed running line. Upstream systems can be
stopped in time to avoid material spillage or operational
malfunctions.
The roller lever (3) of the belt misalignment switch is
made of stainless steel and contains ball bearings for improved handling of lateral forces and impacts. The
48 mm roller diameter means the device can be used at
high belt speeds. All external parts are either made of
stainless steel or have a special galvanized coating.
The roller lever (3) of the belt misalignment switches can
be moved in both directions (see fig. 3-1). By moving the
roller lever (3) the cam discs (11) are turned (see fig. 3-
2). The cam discs (11) operate the switches (7). The cam
discs (11) are adjustable and make it possible to adapt
the switch points to local conditions.

The belt misalignment switch, for example, can be adjusted in such a way that when it reaches the first switch
point, an advance warning (adjustment range: 5° to 15°)
is triggered and when it reaches the second switch point,
the conveyor belt system is switched off (adjustment range: by prying out a cam by 15° to 35°). The mechanical
stop of the roller lever (3) is reached at a deflection of
75°.
CONFIDENTIAL
Belt misalignment switches are mounted in pairs on the
upper belt in front of the drive roller, on the lower belt in
front of the deflection roller and also on critical spots
where the axis distances are larger or material is
transferred (see fig. 3-3).

Danger of fatal electric shock
Work on the device may be performed only by a qualified electrical technician.
Prior to working, switch off the power supply to the system. Ensure that the system cannot be accidentally
switched on. Mask any neighboring components that
may be live to prevent contact.
Beware!
The belt misalignment switches are to be used in control circuits only.
Beware!
The device must only be operated when all three holes
are closed with the supplied cable gland (6) and the
dummy plug (25). Only use the supplied screwed cable
gland (6) and dummy plugs (25), otherwise the seal can

5.2.1Mechanical mounting
Beware!
Make sure to mount the belt misalignment so that the
belt edge actuates the roller lever (3) in the lower half of
the roller when the belt deviates from its designed running line. This prevents the belt from sliding over the
roller lever (3) (see fig. 5-2).
Belt misalignment switches are mounted in pairs on the
upper belt in front of the drive roller, on the lower belt in
front of the deflection roller and also on critical spots

Danger of fatal electric shock
Work on the device may be performed only by a qualified electrical technician.
Prior to working, switch off the power supply to the system. Ensure that the system cannot be accidentally
switched on. Mask any neighboring components that
may be live to prevent contact.
Danger!
Only use connection cables with a diameter of at least
11 mm up to a maximum of 16 mm. The permissible
conductor cross-sections can be found in Chapter 4:„Technical data", page 10.
Penetration of dirt and water when gaskets
are damaged
If gaskets are damaged, dirt and water can penetrate
into the device and damage the device and its components.
Check gaskets for damage before assembling. If the
gasket is damaged, exchange the device cover.
