Hotbus™ Node Tester

Hotbus™ Node Tester

The Hotbus Node Tester is a portable testing unit that can be used in the field to determine the operational status of any Hotbus communications node and network to quickly identify wiring or node issues.

Simply plug the network connection cable directly to the node. A digital display on the tester will show the status of the node which can determine if the node is operating correctly. The unit can also be connected to a PC for more detailed diagnostics data.

Hotbox Node - TN4 (Input Node)

The TN4 is a four input sensor node, powered by 24 VDC. Each input can be an NTC thermistor, PTC thermistor or Volt-Free Contact input; the types may be interchanged on a single node. The Node has a unique 4 digit address which is used to communicate to the T500 via a two wire serial RS485 connection. The TN4 Node processes information from electrical inputs into network data inputs for WDB, Binswitch or Touchswitch.

Hotbox Node - SN2 (Speed Node)

The SN2 is a two input speed node, powered by 24 VDC. The node is able to monitor two independent pulse (speed) sources for dangerous under speed conditions. The SN2 will support pulses which are PNP or sourced. The Node has a unique 4 digit address which is used to communicate to the T500 via a two wire RS485 connection. The SN2 processes information from electrical inputs into network data. The data is passed down the network whilst local relays are activated for shutdown / alarm procedures.

Milli-Speed Switch

The Milli-Speed Sensor has a 4-20 mA output proportional to calibrated speed, it is designed to allow detection of belt slip & underspeed, stop motion, low speed or zero speed on bucket elevators, conveyors, airlocks, mixers, fans, grinders and many other rotating machines. Totally sealed and simple to calibrate, the Milli-Speed works in the harshest of conditions.

Binswitch Capacitive Sensor

Detects level or plug situations for bulk granular solids or liquids

FAQ - Elevator Buckets

What is a HIGH EFFICIENCY elevator bucket?
HIGH EFFICIENCY elevator buckets incorporate all five of the following characteristics: a smooth interior front face with no "breaks", wing-less side walls, close vertical placement on the elevator belt, a tapered bottom and the ability to nest for shipping and storage.

Why use Low Profile elevator buckets?

FAQ - Elevator Bolts

How long of an elevator bolt do I need?
When installing buckets on an elevator belt, use this simple formula:
(belt thickness + bucket back thickness + washer thickness + nut thickness + 1/4 inch)

What grade are 4B elevator bolts?
4B elevator bolts meet or exceed ISO Grade 5.8 / SAE Grade 2 standards. The bolt grade guide below is for bolt diameters of 6mm (1/4") to 12mm (1/2"):
