. JB120 Series Switch Box Overview: Four to 12 sensor inputs (eight to 24 measurement channel outputs), fiberglass enclosure The JB120 Dual Output Switch Boxes are common cable termination points for...
Mounting Instructions Molded mounting brackets are included on the enclosure . Wall anchoring screws are not included . Mounting Holes 0 .33 in ./8 .38 mm Figure 3. Vibration Switch Box Rear View...
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 JB120 Series Switch Boxes is grounded to earth ground . A. Mounting to Earth Ground When mounting JB120 Series Switch boxes to earth ground (such as an I-Beam), mount the shield ground wireusing a mounting bolt through one of the mounting brackets on the enclosure .

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 .

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 .
