ST420

4-20mA
Shaft Tachometer Sensor/Transmitter

USERS MANUAL
(with I.S. control drawing)

Description

The ST420 is an analog-output shaft speed sensor/transmitter. It detects magnetic


pulses from a rotating shaft-mounted pulser target (disc or wrap) and outputs a
smooth, continuous 4-20mA analog signal in direct proportion to the pulse frequency
(rotating shaft speed). See the Output Function graph on p. 4.
The ST420 combines a magnetic pulse detector, signal processing and 2-wire looppowered 4-20mA circuitry into a stainless-steel M18x1 sensor housing.

Installation

Mount the pulser target (disc or wrap) to the shaft.


Mount the ST420 with the arrow label aligned with the center path of the pulser
target magnets as shown. Adjust the gap (A) to inch (6.35 mm).

Notes

Voc is the barrier max open-circuit voltage


Isc is the barrier max short-circuit current
If Po is not known, use Po = (Voc * Isc)/4
Cc = (cable pF/ft) * length (in ft),
Ca is the barrier max allowed external capacitance
Li + Lc
La
Lc = (cable H/ft) * length (in ft),
La is the barrier max allowed external inductance
Selected barriers must be third party approved as providing intrinsically safe circuits for the
application.
The transmitter-barrier cable length is limited by the Cc, Lc restrictions given above.
If the cable pF/ft and/or H/ft values are unknown, use 60 pF/ft and/or 0.2H/ft.
The DIN rail (I.S. Ground) must be insulated from the surrounding cabinet (and all other potentials)
and connected to earth ground at the 24V supply only. See NEC Article 504, CEC Section 18.
Barrier output current must be limited by a resistor such that the output voltage-current plot is a
straight line drawn between open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current.
Barriers must be installed in accordance with barrier manufacturers control drawing and Article 504
of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, for installation in the United States, or Section 18 of
the Canadian Electrical Code for installations in Canada.
When required by the manufacturers control drawing, the barrier must be connected to a suitable
ground electrode per the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code,
as applicable. The resistance of the ground path must be less than 1 ohm.
Control equipment must not use or generate more than 250 V rms or dc with respect to earth.
Warning:
Substitution of components may impair intrinsic safety.
Warning:
To prevent ignition of flammable or combustible atmospheres, read, understand and
adhere to the manufacturers procedures.

rpm = f * 60/ppr
ppr is the number of disc/wrap pulses-per-revolution.
The ST420 detects each passing magnet as a pulse, regardless of north/south
polarity. The ST420 PPR must be matched to the number of magnets in the
disc/wrap.
Custom ppr and frequency range ST420 models may be ordered consult factory.
