Speed Monitor RZQW-03A for turbine overspeed bolt (fly-weight) detection

The YOYIK RZQW-03A speed and overspeed trip monitor is designed for steam turbine emergency governor systems. It detects the moment when the overspeed bolt (fly-weight) extends and retracts, records the action speeds, and provides alarm outputs. The device uses a microcontroller with anti-interference design and stores trip speeds, reset speeds, and maximum speed in non-volatile memory.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Records trip & reset speeds – Stores extension speed and retraction speed of each overspeed bolt (two channels).
  • Peak speed memory – Memorizes the maximum speed during operation.
  • Fast display mode – Shows dynamic speed 8 times per second for quick observation.
  • Anti-interference design – MCU with self-reset system ensures reliable operation in turbine environments.
  • Multiple outputs – Two independent overspeed alarm relays + analog signal for DCS/recorder.
  • Clear front panel indicators – LED lights for overspeed 1, overspeed 2, and trip events.
  • Simple operation – Dedicated keys for reset, fast display, trip speed recall, and peak speed recall.

 

Installation & Wiring

  1. Cut a 152×78 mm rectangular hole in the instrument panel.
  2. Insert the monitor into the hole and secure it using the two side brackets.
  3. Connect the speed sensor to the signal input terminals on the rear panel.
  4. Connect AC220V power supply (L/N) to the designated terminals.
  5. Wire alarm relay outputs (normally open contacts) to PLC, DCS, or alarm devices as needed.
  6. Connect analog output (4-20mA or 0-10V) to recorder or DCS if required.
  7. Ensure proper grounding and separate sensor/signal cables from high-voltage AC lines.

Sensor compatibility: CS-1, CS-2, CS-3 series – thread size and cable length can be customized.

 

Usage Precautions

  • Do not exceed the rated power supply voltage (AC220V ±10%).
  • Keep sensor gap to gear tooth ≤2mm (typically 0.5–1.5mm recommended).
  • Route sensor cables separately from power cables to avoid electromagnetic interference.
  • The trip capture function is locked out when speed is below 2000 RPM (or sensor frequency <43Hz) – this is normal.
  • After a trip event or alarm, use the “Reset” key to clear latched data before restart.
  • Do not open the housing – internal fuse replacement requires return to factory.

 

Troubleshooting & Common Faults

Fault Possible Cause Remedy
No output signal Power supply failure; sensor not connected; sensor gap too large; wiring loose; sensor defective Check AC220V input; verify sensor connection to signal terminals; adjust gap to <2mm; tighten terminals; measure sensor resistance (250Ω for low impedance, 500Ω for high impedance)
Unstable speed reading Sensor loose; poor contact; EMI from nearby equipment; cables routed with high-voltage lines Fix sensor firmly; check terminal connections; remove interference sources; separate signal cables from power cables
No display (blank) AC power missing; internal fuse blown Verify 220VAC at terminals; if fuse blown, return unit to YOYIK for repair
Monitor does not capture trip speed Speed below lockout threshold; sensor not detecting fly-weight; incorrect sensor type Ensure speed >2000 RPM for trip detection; check sensor alignment with overspeed bolt; use recommended CS series sensor
