Machine Guard MG4-REF11A Machine Guard MG4-REF11A is a continuous monitoring unit. It measures vibration severity (VIB) and the mechanical shocks (SPM) arising when the disc segments in a refiner touches each other. It provides, for each channel: • Status display (green - red light) and system fault (yellow light) •...
Machine Guard MG4-REF11 A General A contact of the disc segments can be prevented using the SPM Shock Pulse Method. A shock pulse transducer measures the mechanical shocks arising when the disc segments touches each other. A shock pulse transducer (A) is fixed to the refiner housing so that mecha nical shocks from the segments are transmitted to the transducer with a minimum of reduction.
The temperature range of the MG4-REF11A is 0 to 50 °C (32 to 122 °F). The maximum length of the transducer cables is 100 m for SPM shock pulse transducers type 42000. SPM Instrument AB • Box 504 • SE-645 25 Strängnäs • Sweden Technical data are subject to change without notice.
Read the Safety Precautions on page 2 before performing electrical installation. If you are in doubt, please contact your local SPM representative before installing the equipment. SPM Instrument AB • Box 504 • SE-645 25 Strängnäs • Sweden Technical data are subject to change without notice.

Programmed measuring parameters The measuring and alarm parameters of an MG4-REF11A are programmed, using the keys on the front panel. The program is password protected, which means that a the password ‘SPM’ has to be input before any parameter can be changed.
On line 4 you see the version numbers of the three processors CPU, VIB, and SPM. None of these settings can be changed. Press ENT to exit to the VERSION menu.
Measuring = OFF means that the analog and relay outputs are frozen (stand-by mode). This set- ting is selected before disconnecting any of the VIB or SPM input channels, else disconnecting a transducer will cause a system fault alarm.

Alarm delay is set in steps of 2 seconds by stepping to a number above 0 on menu (F). The maxi- mum is 600 seconds or 10 minutes. SPM Instrument AB • Box 504 • SE-645 25 Strängnäs • Sweden Technical data are subject to change without notice.
Select the SPM channel with the SET key and press ENT to get the sequence of programming menus. ”TLT” on line 2 of menu (A) shows the transducer line status. For an SPM channel it is a number expressing the quality of the measuring circuit. Normal values are around 20, the lowest acceptable value is 15 (recommended).
W-point. Select the SPM channel with the SET key, press ENT to get the programming menus. Move the cursor with SET to select ADJUST in the menu (A). Press ENT.
Alarm is reset automatically when the alarm condition (high measured value) is terminated. There is no manual reset.
