VIBROCONTROL 1801 Relay Module - 12 Relays
8.1.1
General
Series VC-18xx vibration monitors have a maximum of four (4) analog outputs that can be
configured either as a DC output or as a relay output. Therefore if all outputs are configured as DC
output, there will be no more relay outputs available. The relays are typically used to signal Alert
and Danger alarms.
By connecting a VC-1801 relay module to a VC-18xx vibration monitor, there will always be twelve
additional alarm relays available. In combination with VC-18xx, provided no DC outputs are
combination, there are even sixteen alarm relays available.
ATTENTION
For offline configuration, load the appropriate setup file (.mse) from the CD included with
delivery.
Working offline with the configuration software.
For the correct "offline function," i.e. if no VC-18xx is connected directly, the template function for
the relevant product must be loaded.
This template file is saved on the CD included with delivery with the corresponding filename
product type
. Mse.
8.1.2
VIBROCONTROL 1801 Relay Module
Connecting a VC-1801 relay module to a VIBROCONTROL 18xx will increase the number to 12
additional relays.
Relay module:
The front panel of the VC-1801 relay module has a small switch (box) that has two switch positions:
•
Box (1) (default position): If a VC-1801 is connected with a VC-18xx.
•
Box (2) for future expansions.
