VCM Rack Mount Solutions

Overview

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.

  +/- 100V(Max. input voltage equals +/-300V)
   

Frequency Response:  

30 Hz to 10KHz
   

OUTPUT:

 
    Monitoring:  
           Local: 3½ digit liquid crystal display, indicating Average Current,                                                                    Peak Current, Peak Voltage, and Power/Alarm Check,                                                                                    selectable with rotary switch.
          Remote: 4 to 20 mA (Load impedance not to exceed 500 ohm)                                                                                           signal representative of Peak Current.*
  4 to 20 mA (Load impedance not to exceed 500 ohm)                                                                                           signal representative of Average Current.*
  4 to 20 mA (Load impedance not to exceed 500 ohm)                                                                                           signal representative of Peak Shaft voltage.*
    Alarms:  
          Local: LED’s for high and low current and high voltage.*
          Remote: Unified, single relay opening (10 watts, 0.5 A and 100 Vdc)                                                        (100Ω minimum load) for high & low current and high voltage.*
NOTE: Maximum shaft current is equal to shunt rating.                                                                                                                        Maximum shaft voltage is 1, 10, or 100 V (selectable).

Length: 14.8 inches (375 mm) 
Width: 19.0 inches (482.6 mm)
Height::   5.2 inches (133 mm)
Weight: 25.0 pounds (12.7 kg). Add 3 pounds for each additional                                                                                                      monitor added to rack.
*For shaft current monitoring and alarm, a 100 mV current shunt for 1, 2, 5, 10, 20,                                                                                                                            50, or 100 A is required.  
   For shaft voltage monitoring and alarm, a shaft voltage sensing device is required.
