III. Functions and Positioning

Dual-channel independent monitoring: Integrated with two completely independent channels, capable of simultaneously monitoring the X and Y directions of radial vibration of the same equipment, or the vibration parameters of two different equipment. Signals between channels do not interfere with each other, and data is independently processed and alarms are independently output.

Vibration and gap dual-parameter monitoring: Simultaneously measure the amplitude of radial vibration and the voltage of shaft - bearing gap, calculate the average shaft position, making up for the deficiency of traditional monitors that only measure vibration, and comprehensively reflect the operating status of the shaft system, providing early warnings for bearing wear, gap over-limit, etc.

分级 alarm protection: Equipped with "Alert" and "Danger" two levels of alarms, each channel threshold can be customized through the panel or upper computer software; when an alarm occurs, the corresponding LED indicator lights up, and at the same time, the relay is triggered to output, which can be linked to shutdown or external alarm systems.

Standard analog output: Each channel is equipped with a 4-20mA DC analog signal output, which can be directly connected to PLC/DCS systems, enabling remote data collection and centralized monitoring.

Channel bypass and fault self-diagnosis: Supports single/double channel bypass operation. During equipment maintenance or sensor calibration, alarms can be temporarily shielded; built-in OK status monitoring circuit, real-time detection of sensor breakage, short circuit, abnormal signals, and module faults. When a fault occurs, the OK indicator light goes out, facilitating rapid troubleshooting.

Signal buffering output: Provides buffered sensor signal output, which can be connected to oscilloscopes, data acquisition instruments, etc., for on-site debugging, signal calibration, or in-depth fault analysis.

Others: State monitoring and protection of high-speed rotating machinery, key power equipment Installation: Standard 19-inch rack installation. Module spacing ≥ 20mm to ensure heat dissipation; During wiring, strictly distinguish between channels A/B, positive and negative power terminals, and analog output terminals. Avoid reverse connections.

Calibration: Regularly (suggested every 6 months) calibrate channels in conjunction with the 3300 XL probe. Lock parameters after calibration to prevent accidental operations; Gap voltage needs to be calibrated to the linear range (-10 to -18 Vdc).

Maintenance: Keep the panel clean. Avoid dust and oil from entering the modules; Regularly check the wiring terminals to prevent loosening; When there is a fault, prioritize troubleshooting the sensor and wiring, then test the module itself.

Note: Low-frequency mode (1 to 600Hz) is not suitable for rapid start-stop equipment; otherwise, it may cause distortion of monitoring data; The analog output wiring should be away from strong electrical lines to avoid electromagnetic interference.
