Description of Adash 3600-MPX
The Adash 3600-MPX module serves to connect up to 8 sensors with ICP supply to the Adash
3600-MAIN module. The original one-channel basic set Adash 3600 thus becomes multi-channel and
enables cyclic measurement on all the mounted measurement channels, if extended with this
module.
The maximum number of the Adash 3600-MPX extending modules to the Adash 3600 system is 8,
therefore the basic Adash 3600 set can extended from one to a maximum of 64 measured channels.
Description of Module Control
On the front panel there are all the control and display elements of the Adash 3600-MPX module.
Fig. Front panel of the Adash 3600-MPX module
Mode Button
To select the mode of channel number display (at the Adash 3600-MPX module) and measured
value display (at the Adash 3600-MAIN module). The selected mode is indicated by a green indicator
located under the Mode button.
Selected mode Manner of display
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALL it displays cyclically the state of all the measured channels,
MAX it displays the state of the channel with the highest vibrations in compliance with ISO,
USER it displays continuously the state of the selected channel.
By keeping the Mode button pushed for approx. 3 seconds, the automatic channel switching during
measurement is blocked and all the three indicators of the displayed mode on the front panel switch
on. Use this option if an external analyser is connected to the Adash 3600 system. In this mode
channels can be switched only by pushing the Channel button and the Adash 3600-MAIN module
measures only the selected channel.
With the displayed channel number the decimal point is shown.
Channel Button
It enables to select the displayed (not measured) channel.
- If modes ALL or MAX are selected, values measured at the selected channel (vibration
sensor) appear after pushing the Channel button at the Adash 3600-MAIN module for approx. 20
seconds.

- If mode USER is selected, then the measured values at the selected channel remain displayed
continuously.
Immediately after pushing the Channel button, the decimal point switches on the indicator of the
selected channel number and it remains on until the Adash 3600-MAIN module updates the measured
values on its displays. As soon the valid values measured at the selected channel are displayed on
the displays, the decimal point switches off.

Extending the Set with the Adash 3600-MPX
Module
The connection of the Adash 3600-MPX module to the Adash 3600 set is done according to the
following schematic:

Recommended Procedure of Module Connection
1. Disassembly of the terminal connector covers.
Remove the terminal connector covers of the modules by means of a suitable tool.
Fig. Removal of the terminal connector covers
2. Break the interconnection of terminal connectors 485-B and 485-AR at the set end module (3600-
COM).
Fig. Interconnection at the end module 3600-COM
At the end module of the set (in this case 3600-COM) there is a resistance termination of RS-485 via
an interconnection of terminal connectors 485-B and 485-AR. This interconnection must be removed
and installed at the end module of the extended set (in this case 3600-MPX).
3. Interconnection of supply terminal connectors (VCC and GND).
The supply conductors are identified by the following colours in the supplied set:
- red, positive pole of the supply (+5 V, VCC)
- blue, negative pole of the supply (GND).
Pay attention to the correct polarity of the supply voltage! The positive voltage is always at the
first terminal connector on the left.

485-AR) of the 3600-MPX module.
Fig. Interconnection of communication conductors Fig. Interconnection position
The communication conductors are identified by the following colours in the supplied set:
- white conductor, signal A of RS-485
- black conductor, signal B of RS-485.
5. Connection of terminal connectors of the output signal from the Adash 3600-MPX module (+OUT,
-OUT) to the input terminal connectors of the Adash 3600-MAIN module (+ICP, -ICP) via a shielded
conductor.
The shield is connected to the SHLD terminal connectors of both the modules.
The interconnection of the terminal connectors is as follows: +OUT to +ICP and –OUT to –ICP.
Pay attention to the correct connection! In the event of a reverse connection of the OUT and ICP
terminal connectors, the Adash 3600-MAIN module will detect a vibration sensor error (ICP ERR).

The channels for vibration measurement are numbered 1 - 8 at the Adash 3600-MPX module.
The signals of channel 1 are led to the upper left terminal connectors, other channels gradually
continue on the right up to the channel number 6.
The signals of channels 7 and 8 are led to the lower right terminal connectors (channel 7 is at the
end).
Each channel occupies 3 terminal connectors at the terminal board, which are, for all the channels, in
the following order, starting from the left: +ICP, -ICP, SHLD.

7. Replace the terminal connector covers.
The extension of the Adash 3600 set with the 3600-MPX module is completed and the system is ready
for measurement.

NOTICE.
Each module of Adash 3600 system has individual unique internal address on RS-485 - see
User's guide Vibration Monitoring System Adash 3600 (3600main-com-pwr_man_en.pdf - List o
f
Module Numbers on Interface RS-485 chapter). Each supplied system is pre-configured b
y
producer.
- If you work with several systems, do not change individual modules between systems without
check of each address (via Adash 3600 Setup software).
- Regarding repairs and upgrades contact your supplier for correct order information. Then you
will receive each module configured correctly.
If you do not respect this rules, then communication conflicts appears and
the system will not work.
