Introduction The Model 685B is an Electronic Vibration Switch designed to monitor vibration levels and trip an alert when a specified limit is exceeded. A second onboard relay trips an alarm that can be used to shut down a piece of equipment or act as a secondary alert level.
Installation and Wiring Installation The 685B series is designed to be mounted directly on the equipment to be monitored using a four-bolt pattern. There are also options to retrofit existing 3 bolt pattern installations. (Model 080A209 mounting plate required- see optional accessories on page 13). Use grease between all surfaces to insure specified frequency response, otherwise performance will be degraded.

The external accelerometer is connected to +Sensor and –Senor positions as indicated in the above figure and on the product label locate inside the top cover.
Configuring the 685B Triac Models Internal Diagram- The internal diagram displays the location of the control features for the triac versions of the 685B. The alert and alarm set points are adjusted via the single turn potentiometers. The alarm relay is set using the first potentiometer, and the alert relay is set using the third.

(energized). There is also a dipswitch to activate the calibration mode for condition simulation during the setup process. This is explained in detail on page 13. Relay Models Internal Diagram- The internal diagram displays the location of the control features for the relay versions of the 685B. The alert and alarm set points are adjusted via the single turn potentiometers.
This is explained in detail on page 12. Using Calibration Mode The series 685B has the unique ability to be calibrated using a 4-20 mA simulator. (IMI Sensors model 699A05, see “Accessories” page) This allows for a much more accurate and quantifiable calibration versus manually attuning the switch.
