🔧 Installation & Integration
The 3300 Series rack accommodates multiple monitoring cards, each tailored to a specific measurement function. Installation typically includes:
- Mounting the rack in a protected control cabinet
- Routing probe and transducer wiring to dedicated terminal blocks
- Assigning alarm setpoints and configuring relay shutdown logic
- Connecting buffered outputs to diagnostic instruments
- Integrating with plant DCS or safety systems through discrete or analog outputs
Proper grounding and shield termination ensure the system maintains high signal integrity across all channels. When used with proximity probe systems, the monitor supports full calibration according to probe type and shaft material.
🛠️ Maintenance & Service Guidance
Routine maintenance enhances reliability and long-term performance:
- Inspect all probe cables, connectors, and ground paths
- Verify monitor health indicators and rack power supply status
- Periodically test relay trip functions
- Perform channel calibration checks to ensure measurement accuracy
- Clean and tighten terminal connections to maintain low-noise operation
The system’s modular card design allows individual modules to be serviced without powering down the entire rack.
