1 General
1.1 About these operating instructions
These operating instructions apply solely for the N2®-System and are intended
for those persons who install the N2®-System, commission them, and monitor
their usage.
The operating instructions must be kept for the lifetime of the N2-System and
must be made available in an orderly condition to all persons entrusted with
work with and on the N2®-System.
1.2 Illustrations in the operating instructions
In these operating instructions simplified representations of the N2-System are
used. The illustrations serve to clarify the described facts. The described facts
are generally valid for the N2®-System and their different designs and types.
Therefore, the illustrations are to be understood as typical representations
which are valid for all variants of the N2-System.
NOTE
Before starting work these operating instructions must be read and
understood completely

1.3 General information N2®-System
The N2®system indicates the condition of Belt Cleaners for Conveyor belts.
It consists of three main components:
N2®–Position Indicators for Belt Cleaners (PI)
N2®–Gateway (GW)
N2®–Martin®Smart Device Manager Mobile Application (App)
The data is transferred through and stored via a data cloud solution.

5 M9500E UK 2022-03 N2
1.4 N2®–Position Indicators (PI) for belt cleaners
The Position Indicator will be attached to the mainframe of the belt cleaners. It
consists of
a sensor that monitors rotation, vibration and temperature
batteries that provide the required power
electronic components that monitor the condition of the batteries,
convert the signal from the sensor into data
a radio transmitter that connects to the Gateway
an enclosure from Polyurethane that clamps around the cleaner
mainframe.
The position indicator also alerts in the event of excessive belt cleaner
movement. The Position Indicator is monitored and setup using the Martin
Smart Device Manager.
For mainframes with 48 mm diameter For mainframes with 76 mm diameter
e.g. for Pit Viper, QC1 HD e.g. for XHD QC1

6 M9500E UK 2022-03 N2
1.5 N2®–Gateway (GW)
The Gateway will be installed in the plant in the vicinity of the belt conveyors. It
is a stand-alone unit that just requires an electrical power supply.
The Gateway receives information from the Position Indicators, converts the
data and sends those via a GSM Module to the Data cloud.
A large number of Position Indicators can connect to one The Gateway at the
same time.
1 –Cellular Antenna
2 –Radio Antenna
3 –Eyelet for Padlock
(not shown)
4 –Metal cabinet
5 –Power supply entry
6 –Power Indicator

1.6 N2®- Martin®Smart Device Manager Mobile Application (App)
Remark We are continuously developing the app. Therefore, future versions of
the app may have different information or design.
The Martin®Smart Device Manager Mobile Application (App) used on mobile
devices using Android or IOS on Apple devices.
It allows user to register, view, and operate smart products.
The data from the Position Indicators get analysed and displayed by the App on
mobile devices.
It allows user to understand the condition of the belt cleaners and their blades.
Also Alerts will be provided in case of the need to take physical action at the
belt cleaners.
Below are two screen prints from the App.
The App can be downloaded from Google PlayStore or from App Store or
requested through

1.7 Intended usage
The N2®-System is designed to monitor the condition of belt cleaners on belt
conveyors for bulk materials.
The N2®-System can be used on belt cleaners with round mainframe ends in
combination with Polyurethane blades and a rotation movement of the
mainframe during the wear life of the blades.
They may only be used:
in the industrial area above ground
according to the technical data in the documentation
in the installation position as described in the documentation.
The door of the gateway is only to be opened for the wiring and then always
kept closed.
The usage of the N2®-System is only considered to be as intended if the
following conditions are also fulfilled:
Before starting initial work, the personnel must have been instructed on
the work on the system and on all relevant issues of occupational
health and safety
Any personal protective equipment required must be worn
The provisions of the operating instructions must be observed in full.
The N2®-System must not be used in potentially explosive areas.
Operation of the N2®-System under deviating conditions and unauthorised
modification of the N2®-System is considered as improper usage

9 M9500E UK 2022-03 N2
