CTC modular switch box solutions allow for the monitoring of remotely mounted
vibration sensors, which would otherwise be restricted to human access due to
safety considerations.
TSB4000 Series Modular Switch Box Overview: 12 switched triaxial sensor
input module for a total of 36 channels, stainless steel enclosure
CTC modular switch box solutions allow for the monitoring of remotely mounted
vibration sensors, which would otherwise be restricted to human access due to
safety considerations.
The TSB4000 Series 12 Switched Triaxial Channel stainless steel modular switch
box is used to convert the four-conductor input wiring of up to 12 remotely
installed triaxial accelerometers to switched BNCs and a switched four-pin
connector for 36 channels of measurement. Input wiring from each sensor is
connected to the outputs via quick-connect or screw terminal blocks. Each
terminal block includes inputs for signal/power on each axis, common and shield.
Additional switch box modules can be installed or removed after initial
manufacturing and onsite installation, using the quick-release DIN rail clip. Each
new module features a detachable plug for easy cable installation. If continuous
output is desired, select the TSB4001 Series. On all continuous output modules,
a quick disconnect T-plug is supplied to easily connect and disconnect the input
wiring.
Rated for NEMA 4X (IP66), the TSB4000/TSB4001 Series can withstand harsh
environments including temperatures ranging from -58 to 180 °F (-50 to 82 °C).
The box is also resistant to hose directed fluid and corrosion. A locking latch is
installed on the door allowing the box to be sealed from the elements when not
in use.

Note: if you have purchased a modular switch box without cable entries provided,
you should add your own entry prior to mounting the modular switch box. CTC
does not recommend drilling holes in the top of the enclosure due to access and
moisture concerns.

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.

Ensure the shield ground wire on the TSB4000 Series modular switch box is
grounded to earth ground.
A. Mounting to Earth Ground
When mounting TSB4000 Series modular switch boxes to earth ground (such
as an I-Beam), no additional steps are necessary, as the enclosure is grounded
internally.

B. Mounting to non-grounded structure
When mounting the modular switch box to a non-grounded structure, ensure the
shield ground wire or customer supplied ground wire is tied to a source of earth
ground.

Installation of sensors/signal input cable
1. Feed blunt end through the cable entry at the bottom of the enclosure.
Note: it is recommended that cables are marked on both ends.
For cord grip cable entry, take off the cord grip cover with bushing and run cable
into enclosure, hand tighten cord grip cover to base to prevent damage of cord
grip.

1. Strip outer jacket of cable back 1¼ in. and remove all of the shielding.
2. Separate the internal wires from the shield.
3. Strip red and black insulation back ¼ in.

Figure 7. Front View
4. Locate the appropriate plug (identified by channel number), remove it, and
install the wires using a small flathead screwdriver. Push plug back into location.
Orientation is as follows:
a. Green insulated conductor wire is connected to Channel X.
b. Red insulated conductor wire is connected to Channel Y.
c. White insulated conductor wire is connected to Channel Z.
d. Black insulated conductor wire is connected to (-).
e. Shield drain wire is connected to ground (GND).

5. Insert plug into the appropriate PC board connector and double check to ensure
that the cable is going to the correct channel.

The TM1018 Accelerometer Verification Meter can be used to verify cable
conductivity, sensor location and proper wiring connections. The Verification
Meter will indicate if the sensor, cable and/or junction box is in working condition.
It will also confirm bias voltage of the accelerometer, which will inform you of the
operation of the internal accelerometer amplifier.
Testing Method:
1. Utilizing two personnel, Person A will be located at the modular switch box, while
Person B will be located at the measurement location.
2. Once positioned, Person A will connect the TM1018 to the data collector
output to the modular switch box and turn the Channel Selector to the channel
that corresponds to the referenced measurement. Person A should observe a
“NORMAL” LED reading.
3. Person B disconnects the cable from the accelerometer, and the TM1018 should
respond with an “OPEN” LED. Reconnect the cable to the accelerometer, and
the TM1018 should respond with a “NORMAL” LED.
4. Repeat for each measurement location to verify that accelerometer location is
properly identified at the modular switch box.
Figure 12. TM1018 Accelerometer Verication Meter

The following LED Readout indicates the circuit integrity:
1. Green LED: Normal. Indicates proper connection and an output bias will be given,
indicating the health of the sensor (4 – 16 V indicates a healthy accelerometer).
2. Yellow LED: Open Circuit. Indicates one of the following:
a. Cable connector is not connected to accelerometer.
b. Cable is open circuit (broken or not connected @ one end).
c. Accelerometer is not functioning correctly
3. Red LED: Short Circuit. Indicates one of the following:
a. Water or contamination in the connector.
b. Reverse Wiring ((+) and (-) leads are reversed).
c. Wires in modular switch box or cable connector (+) & (-) are touching.
