extensive range of CSA / ATEX / IECEx approved sensors that work with these control units, including bearing temperature sensors, speed sensors, misalignment switches, level indicators and choke switches. The range is constantly evolving to offer customers the best technical standard. 4Bs technical team can recommend the ideal combination of sensors and monitoring systems to suit their customers requirements and budget. They can also offer 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. 4B also offers a commissioning service as well as competent after-sales technical service to help customers overcome any technical problems with their monitoring equipment.
he n 4 B int roduced t he ir Wat c hdog E lite bucke t elevator monitoring system in the early 1980s, they were the first on the market to offer a system that could monitor a complete bucket elevator or conveyor system. No more need to monitor different hazards separately. Taking the hassle out of hazard monitoring, the Watchdog Elite has quickly established itself as the industry reference in hazard monitoring.

Does the system have the necessary hazardous area approvals for the region where it is to be used: ATEX for Europe, CSA for North America & Canada and IECEx for the rest of the world? At 4B, 25 years of experience have shown that there is no one size fits all hazard monitoring system. The companys approach to product development is very much bottom-up through discussions with the end-user upwards, rather than salesdriven. And it is this industry driven approach to product development that has led the engineering team to develop two distinctive multi-function hazard monitoring systems, each of them well researched and tested and using the same high quality components, but different in the variety of sensor options and the scope of the applications they can cover.

what should customers look out for when selecting a system to monitor their bucket elevators and conveyors?
Today, there are a number of systems on the market, and customers may find it more difficult to establish which system is best for them. When you add up all the additional costs of adding sensors and servicing the system, then this decision becomes even more complicated. And when you consider the cost of the potential downtime and even damage, then it is absolutely crucial to get this decision right! So what should customers look out for when selecting a system to monitor their bucket elevators and conveyors?
