Introduction

This document contains information on the operation, installation, and 

maintenance of the SC310 Series Signal Conditioner . The signal conditioner 

is a device that converts a sensor input to 0-20 mA, 4-20 mA, 0-5 

V

dc

, or  

0-10 

V

dc

 output signals and provides a buffered dynamic output of the vibration 

waveform . The signal conditioner accepts input from an accelerometer, velocity 

transducer, or proximity probe . The signal conditioner’s output can be configured 

proportional to acceleration, velocity, or displacement depending on the input 

transducer type . Additionally, the signal conditioner also contains dedicated 

pins for input from a temperature sensor and a 4-20 mA signal proportional to 

the temperature sensor input voltage .

SC310 Series Overview

The SC310 signal conditioner is a DIN rail mountable component used in 

continuous machinery monitoring applications . It provides signal conditioning, 

signal conversion, and re-transmission . All settings are configured using 

downloadable and easy to use software (requires PC and a micro USB cable) . A 

general list of features includes:

• 

4-20 mA output signal for temperature

• 

One selectable channel offering 0-5

• 

LED indicator for unit operation and basic troubleshooting

• 

Selectable configurations for 0-Pk, Pk-Pk, RMS, as well as peak and hold

• 

Input selectable between acceleration, velocity, and displacement

• 

Ultrasound compatible up to 40 kHz

• 

Independent and selectable digital bandpass filters

• 

Output scalable for Metric and English
