Emotron EL-FI Motor Load Monitors
Protect Your Investments

Uses the Motor as a Sensor To Measure Loads to 2% Accuracy

Use an EL-FI load monitor as a proactive measure to protect your machines and processes from serious breakdowns. Abnormal over- and underload is accurately and reliably detected. You can decrease expensive production downtime, increase machine/pump operation time and avoid undesired repair costs.
How? An alarm for overload or underload is activated at set alarm levels and stops the machine/process before serious damage is done.

	Pumps - Dry running, cavitation, closed valves, flow variations and locked pump wheels.
	Mixers - Shaft oscillation, missing or damaged blades and changes in material viscosity.
	Conveyors - Jamming, unnecessary idling and broken chains, axles or belts. and many more... Products: M10 - Dry Running Protection for Pumps/The Electronic Shear-Pin M20 - Advanced shaft power monitor with four alarm levels and analogue output DCM - Supervises and controls 1 or 2 submersible pumps FM - Fan monitor PM - Pump monitor CTM - Current transformer Easy to use All EL-FI load monitors are maintenance-free and easy to install! They are suitable for both new installation and for upgrading machines and pumps. Auto Set The Emotron EL-FI load monitors are equipped with the patented Emotron Auto Set function. By pressing the Auto Set key during normal load, the alarm levels are calculated and automatically set. Emotron MSF Softstarters

	Pumps
	Saws
	Compressors
	Fans
	Centrifuges
	Rock crusher
	Conveyors
	Mixers
	Mills
	Planers

The MSF Softstarter provides smooth starts and protection of machines and processes during operations. The Softstarter also provides linear stops or active braking. It ranges from
17-1650 Ampere and 200-690 Volt.


Advantages

	Torque starts
	Built-in EL-FI load monitor
	Information and communication
	Pump control
	Advanced braking techniques Torque Starts A soft start is enabled by a linear speed ramp. Torque ramping uses in average 20% less energy. This results in smaller fuses and lower energy costs. The torque control also eliminates the typical jolts that conventional starters experience. Built-in EL-FI Load Monitor The built-in shaft power monitor protects your machines and processes from over- and underload. You can hereby avoid expensive break downs and production down time. The monitor typically prevents jammed conveyors, dry running pumps, worn-out tools etc. The Load Monitor has the same functions as the Emotron EL-FI M20 Shaft Power Monitor. Information and Communication During operations you can view the status of operations. The display show values for current, voltage, power, energy consumption, power factor, torque, elapsed time and motor thermal capacity. The MSF Soft Starter can communicate either thru the standard display or thru terminals. Serial interface (RS-232/-485), field buses (Profibus, DeviceNet, Interbus, FIPIO) and external display are optional. Pump Control The built-in pump control is based on square torque ramps. This gives a linear speed change at start and stop without any external devices. It prevents water hammering and increase the life time of pipes and valves. Simpler valves and smaller pipes are other positive effects. Advanced Braking Techniques The MSF Softstarter brakes catches all types of load. It also detects when the motor is standing still, thereby allowing fast restarting and enhance safety.
	Dynamic DC brake without contactor for medium loads.
	Controlled sensorless soft brake with reversing contactor for heavy loads.
