Solution: Use an ALX Alarm linked to a TDY Temperature Transmitter. When the bearings get too hot, the ALX will alarm and switch off power to the motor. After a cooling-off period, the ALX resets automatically, requiring little manual intervention once installed.

Model Number Example
ALX / 4-20MA / H1 / 6.3VLP [BH2NS]
TDY / PRG / 4-20MA /10-42DC [BH2NG]
