Introduction
This document contains information on the operation, installation and
maintenance of the PMX Series Multipurpose Digital Meter Equipment Monitoring
Systems. This manual is an overview of the system and references the specific
component manuals. User manuals are provided with the system for all
configurable internal components.
Description
The PMX Series Systems monitors a machines condition based on its level of
vibration. The PMX1000 & 2000 Series Systems will display the vibration levels
from one or two signal conditioners or loop power vibration sensors. The
systems can be integrated into a circuit to shutdown a machine when preset
vibration levels are reached. The systems detects high vibration energy being
sensed by the input sensors and actuates relays based on alert and alarm set
points. The system will indicate the instantaneous vibration levels and relay
status at each channel through the display meters.
The PMX3000 Series Systems displays the overall value of one or two field
mounted LP400 Series Sensors and provides the dynamic output from panel
mounted BNC Jack connectors for portable analysis. This system can also be
integrated into a circuit to shut down a machine when preset vibration levels are
reached.
PMX1000/2000 Model Selection
The PMX1000/2000 Series System has different options available, below is a
guide to help select which PMX1000/2000 Series System fits your specific
requirements. (Figure 1)

PMX3000 Model Selection
The PMX3000 Series System has different options available, below is a guide to
help select which PMX3000 Series System fits your specific requirements.

Mounting
The system is contained within a standard fiberglass, NEMA 4X rated. Mounting
brackets are built into the enclosure for wall-mounting the enclosure. (Wall
anchoring screws are not included).
Note: CTC does not recommend putting holes in the top of the enclosure
due to access and moisture concerns.

Brackets Ground Lug

MNX10037 REV A

Ensure the shield ground wire is connected to earth ground.
Note: The customer is required to supply from ground to shield ground lug,
located on the outside of the enclosure. (Figure 3)
If you are running conduit to your enclosure, ensure the conduit cable entry
enters from the bottom of the enclosure when mounted.
Note: To ensure moisture will not flow into the enclosure, a hole should be
drilled at the lowest point in the conduit to provide drainage for any
moisture.
For PMX1000/2000 Series Systems, all input wiring is connected to the PRO
Multipurpose Digital Meter Equipment Monitor through removable screw terminal
blocks. For the PMX3000 Series Systems, all input wiring is connector to the
provided terminal block mounted on the back panel of the enclosure. Cord grips
(1 per ch.) or a ½” conduit fitting is provided for sensor input wiring.
For all PMX Series Systems, cable exit is offered through a ½” conduit fitting.
NOTE: If there is no sensor wired, the Output Display will read low or
negative values. Be sure to power the system AFTER the sensor has been
connected.
NOTE: If the display fails to output a value after power has been turned on
and the sensor has been wired, turn off the unit, wait several seconds and
then reapply power. The internal electronics require some time to ramp up
and settle before they are fully operational.

Electrical Connections
Power entry for the PMX Series Systems is provided by a ½” conduit fitting. 85-
265VAC is required to power the unit through the terminal in the center of the
enclosure. See Figure 6 for power wiring.
WARNING: Risk of Electrical Shock (Figure 6).

Power Wiring
The PRO Multipurpose Digital Meter Equipment Monitor(s), PD765(s), will be
wired for power in the factory for all PMX Series Systems. The customer is
responsible for wiring the relays and input signals.

Input wiring should be wired directly to the back of the display relays as
described in the PD765 Pro Universal Input Meter Instruction Manual.

Input wiring should be wired to the provided terminal block on the back panel.
Unlike the PMX1000/2000 Series Systems, the PMX3000 Series System is
factory set as 4-20mA Input and Scaled at 0-1 IPS Amplitude.

Configuring Relays
The input to the internal controller comes from a vibration transmitter. They are
built with a specific full scale range and frequency band. Full scale range of the
transmitters must be known in order for the controllers to display the correct
vibration value. The transmitter will not display any vibration energy present at
frequencies outside the filtering range. Manual adjustments to the Signal
Conditioner may be required. Refer to PRO Signal Conditioner User Manual for
specific instructions on calibration and operation.
The monitoring channel provides 2 relay outputs. The system comes from the
factory with a specific vibration range in IPS or mm/s. To configure the relay set
points, this range must be known. It is recommended that baseline and typical
alarm values of vibration are also known before setup is attempted. The relays
provided by the internal controller are highly configurable. Refer to PD765 User
Manual for detailed programming instructions.
All of the following parameters can be adjusted:
Relay Action – Automatic, Latching, Auto + Manual Reset, Latch with
Clear.
Relay Operation – Set and Reset points (Hysteresis), On and Off time
Delays.
Section III
Operation
Example Full Scale 0 – 1.0 IPS, Frequency Band 10 – 1000 Hz.
At 0 IPS, 0 Volts flow from the transmitter to the controller
At 0.50 IPS, 2.5 Volts flow from the transmitter to the controller.
A
t 1.0 IPS, 5 Volts flow from the transmitter to the controller.

Analog Output
The analog 4-20 mA signal represents the amount of vibration energy present at
each channel based on the transmitter’s full scale. I.E. a 12 mA signal from a 0-
2.0 IPS transmitter represents a vibration level of 1.0 IPS.
Obtaining the 4-20mA output from the controller may require manual adjustment
of the SC Transmitters. Refer to PRO SC Transmitter user manual for specific
instructions.
Refer to PD765 User Manual for detailed programming instructions.
Example Setup 1:
A full scale range of 0 – 1 IPS has been specified. Baseline Vibration on the
machine to be monitored is 0.18 IPS-pk. Alarm and Shutdown levels of
vibration are specified as 0.35 IPS-pk and 0.65 IPS-pk respectively, reset
points are specified as 0.30 IPS-pk and 0.60 IPS-pk. Using the provided
PD765 Process Controller Manual; Select relay operation and action desired,
for this example we will have LOC, Latching Operation with Clear relays.
Then program “Set 1” as 0.35 and “Set 2” as 0.65, then program reset points,
“rST 1” as 0.30 and “rST 2” as 0.60. After relays have been programmed,
scaling must be set. For this example, we will use a 0-5 Volt input with a 0-1
IPS display. Program “inP1” as 0.00, then “diS1” as 0.00, then “inP2” as 5.00,
then “diS2” as 1.00. This will let us have an input of 0 Volts, display of 0.00
IPS and at an input of 5 Volts, 1.00 IPS will be displayed by the meter. The
system will now actuate the LOC Relay (Relay 1) when the vibration level
reaches 0.35 IPS-pk and another LOC Relay (Relay 2) when the vibration
level reaches 0.65 IPS-pk. In order to reset the LOC relays, the vibration level
must fall below the reset point of 0.60, then press the ACK for relay 2 and
once the vibration level falls below 0.30, press the ACK to reset relay 1.

Once the system has been calibrated and installed it requires minimal
maintenance. Basic checks to ensure system integrity should be made
periodically.
Visual Inspections should include examinations for the following:
The displays are operational
No visible electrical burns or smoke inside the enclosure
Enclosure hinges are free from rust and securely latched
No moisture or condensation build up inside the enclosure
General
There are no customer replaceable parts. It should provide trouble-free
continuous service under normal operating conditions.
Warranty
If any PRO product should ever fail, we will repair or replace it at no charge, as
long as the product was not subjected to misuse, natural disasters, improper
installation or modification which caused the defect.
