. JB130 Series Switch Box Overview: 4-12 channel boxes, fiberglass enclosure The JB130 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 Molded mounting brackets are included on the enclosure . Wall anchoring screws are not included . Vibration Mounting Switch Box Brackets (Rear View) 0 .33 in ./8 .38 mm Figure 3. Mounting Bracket Placement...
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 JB130 Series Switch Box is grounded to earth ground . A. Mounting to Earth Ground When mounting JB130 Series Switch boxes to earth ground (such as an I-Beam), mount the shield ground wire using a mounting bolt through one of the mouting 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, 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 JB130 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 .
