Edition 17 - February 2018
PREFACE
About this manual
This manual provides information on the VM600 series machinery protection system (MPS),
from the Meggitt Sensing Systems’ Vibro-Meter®product line.
It offers information concerning the installation, configuration and general use of the system.
About Meggitt, Meggitt Sensing Systems and Vibro-Meter
Headquartered in the UK, Meggitt PLC is a global engineering group specialising in extreme
environment components and smart sub-systems for aerospace, defence and energy
markets.
Meggitt Sensing Systems is the operating division of Meggitt specialising in sensing and
monitoring systems, which has operated through its antecedents since 1927 under the
names of ECET, Endevco, Ferroperm Piezoceramics, Lodge Ignition, Sensorex and
Vibro-Meter. Today, these operations are integrated under one strategic business unit called
Meggitt Sensing Systems, headquartered in Switzerland and providing complete systems,
using these renowned brands, from a single supply base.
The Meggitt Sensing Systems facility in Fribourg, Switzerland operates as the legal entity
Meggitt SA (formerly Vibro-Meter SA). This site produces a wide range of vibration, dynamic
pressure, proximity, air-gap and other sensors capable of operation in extreme environments,
electronic monitoring and protection systems, and innovative software for aerospace and
land-based turbomachinery. This includes the VM600 machinery protection system (MPS)
produced for the Vibro-Meter®product line.
Who should use this manual?
The manual is written for operators of process monitoring/control systems using a
VM600 machinery protection system (MPS).
Operators are assumed to have the necessary technical training in electronics and
mechanical engineering (professional certificate/diploma, or equivalent) to enable them to
install, program and use the system.
Applicability of the manual
The manual applies to a VM600 machinery protection system (MPS) using the new
generation of VM600 MPC4 cards (hardware versions 03x, 11x, 21x and subsequent
models). These later cards are easily distinguished from earlier models as they have seven
LEDs on their panels, whereas previous versions (01x and 02x) had only one LED (identified
as DIAG).
Users of systems having earlier versions of the MPC4 card should refer to edition 4 of this
manual.

Terminology
MPC4 cards
NOTE: The MPC4 machinery protection card is available in different versions, including a
standard version, a separate circuits version and a safety (SIL) version.
See 4 MPC4 / IOC4T card pair for additional information.
In general, MPC4 is used in this manual to refer to all versions of the card. However, where
it is necessary to make a distinction, MPC4 is used to indicate the standard and separate
circuits versions of the card and MPC4SIL is used to indicate the safety version.

By doing this, you will be aware of the potential hazards and be able to work
safely, ensuring your own protection and also that of the equipment.
WHEN INSTALLING AVM600 RACK, OBSERVE ALL SAFETY (WARNING AND CAUTION)
STATEMENTS IN THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW ALL NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL
CODES.
ONLY TRAINED AND QUALIFIED PERSONNEL (SUCH AS AQUALIFIED/LICENSED
ELECTRICIAN) SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO INSTALL OR REPLACE THIS EQUIPMENT.
CHECK NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES, REGULATIONS AND DIRECTIVES
BEFORE WIRING.
A VM600 RACK MUST BE DIRECTLY AND PERMANENTLY CONNECTED TO PROTECTIVE
EARTH (PE) USING THE EARTH CONDUCTOR OF THE EXTERNAL MAINS POWER SUPPLY
LEAD, IN ORDER TO HELP PREVENT THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
SELECT CABLE WIRE SIZES AND CONNECTORS (CURRENT-CARRYING CAPACITY),
INCLUDING THE EXTERNAL MAINS POWER SUPPLY LEAD, TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS
OF THE APPLICATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE NATIONAL AND LOCAL
ELECTRICAL CODES.
CHECKS TO ENSURE ELECTRICAL SAFETY SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY ACOMPETENT
PERSON.
DEFLECTION PLATES (BARRIERS) MUST BE INSTALLED ABOVE AND BELOW AVM600
RACK IN ORDER TO HELP REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND IN THE CASE
OF THE BARRIER INSTALLED BELOW AVM600, IN ORDER TO HELP PREVENT THE
SPREAD OF FIRE TOO.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN DEATH, SERIOUS INJURY,
AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.

Hazardous voltages and the risk of electric shock
Hot surfaces and the risk of burning
Heavy objects and the risk of injury
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES EXIST WITHIN AVM600 RACK.
WHEN ACARD, PANEL OR POWER SUPPLY IS REMOVED FROM AVM600 RACK, THE
RACK BACKPLANE – CONTAINING HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES – IS EXPOSED AND THERE
IS THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, AS INDICATED BY THE USE OF THE FOLLOWING
WARNING LABEL ON THE EQUIPMENT:
REGARD ANY EXPOSED COMPONENT, CONNECTOR OR PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD (PCB)
AS APOSSIBLE SHOCK HAZARD AND DO NOT TOUCH WHEN ENERGISED.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN DEATH, SERIOUS INJURY,
AND/OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
HOT SURFACES CAN EXIST WITHIN AND ON AVM600 RACK.
DEPENDING ON THE AMBIENT OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND POWER CONSUMPTION,
AND THE INSTALLATION AND COOLING OF AVM600 RACK, THE TOP OF THE RACK CAN
BECOME HOT TO TOUCH AND THERE IS THE RISK OF BURNING WHEN HANDLING THE
RACK, AS INDICATED BY THE USE OF THE FOLLOWING WARNING LABEL ON THE
EQUIPMENT:
REGARD THE TOP OF AVM600 RACK AS AHOT SURFACE AND DO NOT TOUCH
UNLESS COOL.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN INJURY.
A POPULATED VM600 SYSTEM RACK WITH CARDS AND RACK POWER SUPPLIES
INSTALLED IS AHEAVY OBJECT.
DEPENDING ON THE NUMBER OF VM600 CARDS AND RPS6U RACK POWER SUPPLIES
INSTALLED, AVM600 SYSTEM RACK (ABE04x) CAN BE TOO HEAVY TO LIFT, LOWER
OR OTHERWISE HANDLE MANUALLY AND THERE IS THE RISK OF INJURY DURING
INSTALLATION OR REMOVAL.
REGARD APOPULATED VM600 SYSTEM RACK AS AHEAVY OBJECT AND DO NOT
HANDLE MANUALLY UNTIL ANY RPS6U RACK POWER SUPPLIES (AND VM600 CARDS
AS NECESSARY) HAVE BEEN REMOVED IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE WEIGHT, AS THESE
ARE THE HEAVIEST SYSTEM COMPONENTS THAT CAN BE EASILY REMOVED.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN INJURY.

Replacement parts and accessories
For information on replacement parts and accessories:
• Visit the Meggitt Vibro-Meter®website at www.meggittsensing.com/energy
• Contact your local Meggitt Sensing Systems representative.
Handling precautions for electrostatic sensitive devices
Certain devices used in electronic equipment can be damaged by electrostatic discharges
resulting from built-up static electricity. Because of this, special precautions must be taken to
minimise or eliminate the possibility of these electrostatic discharges occurring.
• Before handling electronic circuits, discharge the static electricity from your body by
touching and momentarily holding a grounded metal object (such as a pipe or cabinet).
• Avoid the build-up of static electricity on your body by not wearing synthetic clothing
material, as these tend to generate and store static electric charges. Cotton or cotton
blend materials are preferred because they do not store static electric charges.
• Do not handle electronic circuits unless it is absolutely necessary. Only hold cards by
their handles or panels.
• Do not touch printed circuit boards, their connectors or their components with conductive
devices or with your hands.
• Put the electronic circuit, printed circuit board or module containing electronic
components into an antistatic protective bag immediately after removing it from a VM600
rack.
Use only approved replacement parts and accessories.
Do not connect with incompatible products or accessories.
Only use replacement parts and accessories intended for use with
VM600 racks that have been approved by Meggitt SA.
Using incompatible replacement parts and accessories could be
dangerous and may damage the equipment or result in injury.
Read the following recommendations carefully before handling electronic
circuits, printed circuit boards or modules containing electronic
components.
