Page 3: Introduction
Introduction CTC’s MX505 Mini MAXX Box is a common cable termination point for triaxial sensors to interface with portable data collectors . CTC MX505 Series Boxes provide M12 connector mini-MIL outputs for each channel . MX505 Overview The MX505 is a powder-coated aluminum junction box that provides connection for up to two triaxial accelerometers through four-conductor input wiring to a portable data collection unit . -

Page 5: Mounting Instructions
Mounting Instructions Independent stainless steel mounting feet are included on the enclosure . Wall anchoring screws are not included . Note: If you have purchased a MX505 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 the enclosure as it will cause restricted access to the wire termination connection points and also allow possible moisture ingression . -
Page 6: Conduit Entry
Conduit Entry If you are running conduit to your enclosure, ensure the conduit cable entry is located at 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 . -

Page 11: Post-Installation Testing
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 . -
Page 12: Contact Information
Person B disconnects the cable from the accelerometer, and the TM1018 should respond with an “OPEN” LED . Reconnect the cable to the accelerometer, and the TM1018 should respond with a “NORMAL” LED . Repeat for each measurement location to verify that accelerometer location is properly identified at the termination box .
