. TSB6000 Series Modular Switch Box Overview: 4 switched triaxial sensor input module for a total of 12 channels, stainless steel slope top enclosure CTC modular switch box solutions allow for the monitoring of remotely mounted vibration sensors, which would otherwise be restricted to human access due to safety considerations .
Mounting Instructions Note: if you have purchased a modular switch box without cable entries provided, you should add your own entry prior to mounting the modular switch box . CTC does not recommend drilling holes in the top of the enclosure due to access and moisture concerns .
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 TSB6000 Series modular switch box is grounded to earth ground . A. Mounting to Earth Ground When mounting TSB6000 Series modular switch boxes to earth ground (such as an I-Beam), no additional steps are necessary, as the enclosure is grounded internally .
B. Mounting to non-grounded structure When mounting the modular switch box to a non-grounded structure, ensure the shield ground wire or customer supplied ground wire is tied to a source of earth ground .

Post Installation Testing The TM1018 Accelerometer Verification Meter can be used to verify cable conductivity, sensor location and proper wiring connections . The Verification Meter will indicate if the sensor, cable and/or junction box is in working condition . It will also confirm bias voltage of the accelerometer, which will inform you of the operation of the internal accelerometer amplifier .
