VCM Rack Mount Solutions

VCM Rack Mounts offer easy integration with other monitoring equipment.  This option comes with the ability to monitor 1,2,3 or 4 separate units in one enclosure.  The rack mount version with VCM-E circuitry, will fit into any standard 19" rack.  The VCM-E circuitry allows continuous monitoring of your rotating machinery(s) shaft both locally (LCD display) and remotely (4-20 mA outputs) of Peak and Average Current and Peak Voltage.  With the multi-configurable options, it is like having up to 4 separate VCM-E's in one enclosure.

Get Early Warning of:

  • Loss of Shaft Grounding
  • High Residual Magnetism
  • High Static Electricity
  • Shaft or Rotor Rubs
  • Electrical Machinery Coil and Core Problems

 

OUTPUTS per VCM-E:

 

Monitoring:

 

Local:

3½ digit liquid crystal display indicating Peak Current, Average Current, Peak Shaft Voltage** and Power/Alarm Check, selected with rotary switch.

Remote:

4 to 20 mA signal representative of Peak Grounding Current; 4 to 20 mA signal representative of Average Grounding Current.;4 to 20 mA signal representative of Peak Shaft Voltage.**

Alarms :

 

Local:

LED for minimum and maximum grounding current and maximum shaft voltage.**

Remote:

Open contact on minimum and maximum current, maximum voltage and loss of power supply to the unit.  (User selectable latching is optionally available in Non-Explosion-Proof Enclosures Only)

INPUT per VCM-E:

Ground Current Lead (from shunt in grounding device circuit). Voltage Lead (from separate voltage sensing device/system).                                                 PLEASE NOTE: MPS VCM's will operate with any Vendor’s Shaft Grounding or Voltage Sensing Devices
