CMSS500 Series Transmitters Overview CMSS525 Acceleration Transmitter The CMSS525 is a 4-20 mA RMS Acceleration Transmitter. It is factory configured for compatibility with a low-impedance, voltage output accelerometer. The input signal is processed to determine the overall vibration amplitude in terms of RMS acceleration (g's).
CMSS500 Series Transmitters Overview CMSS530 Velocity Transmitter The CMSS530 is a 4-20 mA Velocity Transmitter. It is factory configured for use with a low-impedance accelerometer, and can also be configured for use with a low-impedance velocity sensor, or electro-mechanical velocity sensor. The sensor input signal is processed to determine its overall vibration level in terms of either velocity (RMS or Peak).

CMSS500 Series Monitor Alert and Danger Alarm Setpoint Adjustment the correct dc voltage is measured at BNC connector located directly above the selector switch. Adjusting the setpoint requires the use of a digital voltmeter, knowledge of the transmitter's full scale range, and the desired setpoint as a percentage of the full scale range.

CMSS500 Series Monitor Alert and Danger Alarm Delays Adjustment Alert and Danger Alarm Delays Adjustment The Alert and Danger alarm delays can be independently set by internal jumper selection to .1, 1, 3, 6, or 10 seconds. The purpose of the delay is to reduce nuisance alarms caused by external electrical noise and/or transient vibration events.
CMSS500 Series Monitor Trip Multiply vibration level drops below the associated setpoint for more than about 1 second, the associated relay will de- energize and the alarm LED will turn off. The alarms can also be set for latching operation by installing shunts on jumpers E11 and E12 on the Alarm module circuit board.
CMSS500 Series Monitor Alarm Relays Alarm Relays The ALERT, DANGER and OK relays are independent, single-pole-double throw relays. NO, ARM, and NC contacts are available through a plugable screw connector at the bottom of the monitor. OK relay contacts are available on fixed screw terminals at the bottom front of the alarm module.
On Monitors (1.6 inch / 41 mm wide units), you must first carefully separate the two halves of the unit at the center (see Figure 4-10). The sides do not need to be removed. This is done by working the screwdriver around the 4- 2 SKF Machine Condition Transmitter User Manual...
