Introduction This document contains information on the operation, installation and maintenance of the SCE Series Signal Conditioner Enclosure . This manual is an overview of the system and references the specific component manuals . User manuals are provided with the system for all configurable internal components .
Product Dimensions 16.00 in [406.4 mm] 8.80 in 13.03 in [223.5 mm] [331.0 mm] 18.12 in 16.99 in DIMENSIONS [460.2 mm] [431.5 mm] NSIDE SHEET Front View Side View Figure 1. Dimensions Figure 2. Diagram...
Mounting Instructions Independant stainless steel mounting feet are included on the enclosure . Wall anchoring screws are not included . Note: if you have purchased a SCE300 series enclosure without cable entries provided, you should add your own entry prior to mounting the enclosure .
Conduit Entry 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 .
Grounding Ensure the shield ground wire on the SCE300 Series enclosure is grounded to earth ground . A. Mounting to Earth Ground When mounting SCE300 Series enclosures to earth ground (such as an I-Beam), mount the shield ground wire using a mounting bolt through one of the mounting brackets on the enclosure .

B. Mounting to non-grounded structure When mounting the SCE300 series enclosure to a non-grounded structure, ensure the shield ground wire or customer supplied ground wire is tied to a source of earth ground . Figure 6. Ground Wire Placement...
Electrical Connectons Cables enter and exit the enclosure through conduit fittings or cord grips on the bottom of the unit . All input and output wiring is connected to the terminal blocks and signal conditioners inside the unit . Inputs are routed through a conduit fitting or cord grips (1 per channel), output wiring is routed through a conduit fitting .

Wiring Inputs Cables enter the enclosure through the designated entry option selected (cord grips or conduit or custom user defined/installed options) . All wires are connected to terminal blocks within the enclosure . Sensor inputs for the SCE300 series are located on the right side of the enclosure as indicated by the interior labeling “Sensor Input .”...

Note: When collecting waveform data from the BNC jack on the signal conditioner using a portable data collector that supplies constant current power, it is recommended that the data collector is configured so that power to the sensor is turned off . Although the BNC connector circuitry offers short circuit protection and can safely sink the current, long-term degradation may occur due to increased power dissipation depending on the magnitude of the IEPE current .

A short circuit is indicative of a lack of electrical resistance, removing the ability to measure the impact from a change in voltage . This instance is largely driven by an incorrect wiring setup . Verify that all wiring connections are attached in the correct polarity, and that no signal and common wires are touching .

This state occurs when the signal conditioner starts up, confirms there is an available configuration, and sets up its peripherals and outputs . If the USB cable is connected and plugged into a PC, this state will persist . Plugging in the USB cable at any point will also cause the device to enter this state .
