The WDB83x series is a range of contact bearing sensors designed for over-temperature protection of bearings, manufactured to screw directly into a bearing housing. Each sensor is fitted with a grease nipple to allow lubrication of the bearing without the need for removal of the sensor. The sensor has a fixed two core cable ready for connection either directly to a monitoring device or to a junction box.
All contact sensor models in this series are normally in the closed position allowing electricity to flow through the circuit. When the temperature exceeds a preset trip temperature, the bimetal element opens to break the circuit. Circuit is restored when temperature drops below the Reset temperature limit. These sensors are mainly used for over temperature protection in industrial applications.
The sensor is supplied with a three meter attached cable and can be connected to a hazard monitoring system, such as 4B’s IE-Node or Watchdog Super Elite or to a PLC. The connections are not polarity sensitive therefore special connection requirements are eliminated, and the cable can be extended in the field.
- Sensor Type: Contact

- Sensor voltage: 5 – 24 VDC
- Cable style: Fixed
- Body Material: Stainless Steel
- Thread Size: ¼” BSPT

Monitors
Watchdog™ Super Elite (WDC4)
The Watchdog Super Elite (WDC4) is easy to install and simple to set-up. The system processes signals from sensors for belt misalignment, belt speed & slip, continuous bearing temperature, pulley misalignment and plug conditions for bucket elevators or belt conveyors. When an alarm is detected it will sound an alarm and provide shutdown control of the elevator/conveyor and feeding system.
A 3.5” LCD screen displays the entire system status at a glance. Password protected controller settings can be set up either directly on the LCD screen, or by a PC application and transferred to the WDC4 via an SD card.
The Watchdog Super Elite can be connected directly to a PLC using the Modbus TCP/IP protocol, or integrated into HazardMon.com®. This secure cloud based solution provides live system status, graphs and historical data that is viewable on any web-enabled device (smart phone, tablet, desktop PC).
IE-Node
The Industrial Ethernet Node (IE-NODE) is a remote monitoring interface designed to provide sensor data to PLC’s or other automation and control systems.
Both units can be expanded to 16 sensor inputs with the installation of optional expansion boards.
The IE-NODE operates by reading its sensor inputs and sending processed data when requested by another system (e.g. PLC). The units are equipped with an RJ45 Ethernet socket and supports PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP/IP protocols for easy integration with Siemens, Allen-Bradley Rockwell, Modicon and other PLC’s or automation devices.
The IE-NODE’s network configurator software provides a visual view of all devices on the network. It allows for easy identification of each unit on the network and allows for network settings to be changed as needed.

Hazard Monitoring Design Service
Hazard Monitoring Design Service
Preventative maintenance can help reduce the risk of equipment failure and consequent downtimes. When it comes to monitoring your bucket elevators and belt conveyors, 4B can recommend you the ideal combination of sensors and monitoring systems to suit your requirements and budget.
4B provides an extensive range of their own ATEX / IECEx / CSA approved hazard monitoring systems, misalignment switches and bearing temperature monitors and level controls. We can offer you anything from a replacement sensor to a fully integrated hazard monitoring system which can be operated either as a stand-alone system or connected to your PLC.
And if you do not want to install hazard monitoring sensors on every piece of equipment in your plant straightaway, we can offer you a scalable solution starting with carefully chosen equipment and systems that can be expanded at a later date to encompass other machines in the plant.
We can also offer you an installation service, and we do provide a competent after-sales technical service to help you overcome any technical problems with your monitoring equipment.
To get a recommendation from our engineers, please fill in the electronics questionnaire below. Please fill this form in as accurately as possible to allow us to deal with your enquiry more effectively.
