Please read this instruction manual and the cautionary notes thoroughly. The SKF CTU is a digital vibration and temperature transmitter. It can be used as a part of a machinery fault detection system. The CTU performs three types of vibration signal process analysis –...
(BNC switch) to measure either the accelerometer sensor buffered (not processed) vibration output or the sensor temperature output. The buffered vibration output can be monitored with an SKF Microlog or equivalent device. The CTU has a user configurable option to average the analog output signals so that rapid changes in vibration input do not cause annoying fluctuations in PLC/DCS or digital displays.

The CTU can be located up to 100 m (330 feet) from the sensor with suitable shielded cabling. The CMPT DCL display/alarm module can be used along with the CMPT CTU module to have a stand-alone monitoring of processed vibration. A second DCL module can be used to optionally monitor temperature from a CTU connected to a CMPT 2310T or CMPT 2323T sensor.

Basic Instructions and Wiring Connections General Instructions The accelerometer sensor and CMPT CTU should be located within 100 m (300 feet) of each other. A suitable twisted and shielded pair of wires (22 AWG with 100 pF/m) should be used to connect the CMPT 2310 and CMPT 2323 accelerometer sensors to the CTU.
The sensor ground wire is connected to the inner shield of the sensor cable. This wire should be connected to ground (earth) inside the CMPT CTU enclosure. The sensors have a stainless steel over braid. The braid is for mechanical protection of the cable. The braid also acts as an outer shield. It is advised to isolate (shield) the sensor ground wire from the braid and local ground.

It is advised to isolate (shield) the sensor ground wire from the braid and local ground (earth).
To monitor a machine with two of the three possible analysis types – Acceleration Enveloping, Acceleration or Velocity – one accelerometer sensor and two CMPT CTU modules are wired parallel to one another. A secondary CTU module is wired parallel to a primary CTU.
CMPT CTU Output Each machine has its own normal vibration level depending on its function and design, supporting structure, and environment. The CMPT CTU is particularly useful for continuous detection of changes in machinery vibration and temperature. The CTU analog output signals can be monitored either by the PLC/DCS system or the CMPT DCL modules.

Interface with Dataloggers and Vibration Systems Interface with Dataloggers and Vibration Systems The CMPT CTU is equipped with a front panel BNC connector to enable connection to the buffered output signal of the connected accelerometer sensor. This enables use of the SKF MarlinVIBPAK and SKF Microlog dataloggers, or an equivalent vibration spectrum datalogger to safely and easily connect to the sensor without interference.
