MAGNETIC SPEED SWITCH INSTRUCTIONS
Caution: As with any electrical equipment, the Magnetic Speed Switch should be installed by trained personnel using
appropriate safety practices per the National Electric Code, including electrical disconnect and lockout practices, reference
ANSI Z244.1.
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION.
SECTION 1 - GENERAL Figure 1
2” Magnetic 1” Magnetic
The PPI Magnetic Speed Switch is a preset inductive proximity Coupler Coupler
switch. As the magnetic coupler rotates, it opens and closes an
electrical circuit a preset number of times per revolution. The
Magnetic Speed Switch is intended to be used with a PLC or similar
device that can monitor the number of pulses per revolution and
select a desired output. The exceptions are the MS1-SS, MS1S-SS,
and MS1SLP-SS which have a built-in 4 second delay and can be
connected to a relay.
This device is not intended for use in hazardous areas as defined by
the NEC, articles 500-504. Intrinsically safe Magnetic Speed
Switches are not presently available.

SECTION 2 - SELECTION
Figure 2
The Magnetic Speed Switch is available in either 1, 2, 4, or 12
pulses per revolution. For most applications, a 1-pulse sensor will Standard Housing Low Profile Housing
Configuration Configuration
be suitable. Higher numbers of pulses result in higher resolution
and quicker response, especially at lower speeds. The 12 pulse
switch is only available as a 3-wire DC and must be specified for
NPN or PNP operation. (See the provided wiring diagrams in section
5)
The standard magnetic coupler is 2” in diameter and is acceptable
for most applications. A 1” coupler is available for shaft diameters
under 2”. (See Figure 1)
The standard Magnetic Speed Switch requires 3” clearance beyond
the end of the shaft. For those applications with low clearance, a
low profile Magnetic Speed Switch is available that requires 1-7/8” *Low profile only available with small diameter
of clearance. (See Figure 2) magnetic connector

SECTION 2 - SELECTION (Cont’d)
A stop switch option is available on many of the Figure 3
configurations. The stop switch is a normally
open switch that has a built-in timer. The timer MS1SLP-SS
has a 2 second start-up delay and 4 second shut- Magnetic
down delay. Two seconds after the sensor Speed switch Design

SECTION 3 - MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Read and understand all instructions prior to
installation.
2. De-engergize and lock out equipment before
beginning installation.
3. The Magnetic Speed Switch is to be installed on
the end of a rotating shaft.
4. Attach the Magnetic Speed Switch to the end of
the shaft as close to the center of the shaft as
possible. Exact centering is not necessary, but
offset mounting will result in wobbling of the
Magnetic Speed Switch. Excessive wobbling,
especially at high speeds, may cause the
Magnetic Speed Switch to be thrown from the
shaft.
5. Fasten cable guard (flexible conduit) into place
with zip-tie or some type of strap to help keep
the unit in place.
6. Make sure that all moving parts are properly guarded to prevent accidental entanglement.
7. Make the electrical connections as directed below in the wiring instructions.
SECTION 4 - WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Read and understand all wiring, selection, and mounting instructions prior to installation. If
necessary, contact a PPI Applications Engineer.
2. Disconnect and lockout power before starting wiring procedure. Do not apply a voltage across the
wires until a load such as a relay circuit has been installed. The sensor may be permanently
damaged if prematurely powered.

SECTION 4 - WIRING INSTRUCTIONS (Cont’d)
3. To maintain reliability, use proper external wire protection. All Magnetic Speed Switch conduit ends
have ½” NPT male threads and nut for conduit connection. Conduit protection of entire wiring
circuit is recommended.
4. The inductive proximity sensor installed in the Magnetic Speed Switch is factory set. There is no
setup required and no maintenance is required in the future. Wiring diagrams follow.
CAUTION:
Do Not…
use an incandescent light bulb as a load. The extremely high cold current will cause an overload condition.
Do Not…
operate without a load. A dead short will result that may cause irreparable damage.
Do Not…
directly operate a motor with the sensor. Always use a motor starter, relay, or other appropriate device.
