. JB330 Series Switch Box Overview: Four to 12 triaxial sensor inputs (12 to 36 measurement channel outputs), stainless steel slope top enclosure The JB330 Switch Box is a common cable termination point for bringing compatible cables for triaxial sensors into a switch box for routine data collection with portable data collectors .
Mounting Instructions Note: If you have purchased a 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 have purchased a switch box without cable entries provided, you should add your own entry prior to mounting the enclosure . CTC does not recommend putting holes in the top of enclosures as it will cause restricted access to the wire termination connection points and also allow possible moisture ingress .
Grounding Ensure the shield ground wire on the JB330 Series Switch Box is grounded to earth ground . A. Mounting to Earth Ground When mounting JB330 Series Switch Boxes to earth ground (such as an I-Beam), no additional steps are necessary, as the enclosure is grounded internally .

Grounding B. Mounting to Non-Grounded Structure When mounting the 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 . Figure 6. Ground Wire Placement...
Sensor Installation Installation of Sensors/Signal Input Cable Feed blunt-cut end through the cable entry at the bottom of the enclosure . Note: It is recommended that cables are marked on both ends . For cord grip cable entry, take off the cord grip cover with bushing and run cable through it then into the enclosure, hand-tighten cord grip cover to base to prevent damage of cord grip .

Sensor Installation Insert plug into the appropriate PC board connector and double check to ensure that the cable is going to the correct channel . Note: If your application requires continuous output, the wiring configuration for the JB330 is slightly modified . INPUT #1 INPUT #2 INPUT #3...
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 .
Post-Installation Testing The following LED Readout indicates the circuit integrity: Green LED: Normal . Indicates proper connection and an output bias will be given, indicating the health of the sensor (4 – 16 V indicates a healthy accelerometer) . Yellow LED: Open Circuit . Indicates one of the following: a .
