1.1 CSI 2600 overview
The CSI 2600 Machinery Health
™
Expert is a portable, online analyzer that simultaneously
and continuously monitors and records up to 24 vibration or process channels and up to 4
speed inputs.
The CSI 2600 is available with one or two 6510 signal input modules. Each 6510 module
has 12 analog channels, 2 tachometer channels, and 2 relay channels. Emerson sells the
CSI 2600 as a 12/2/2 channel or a 24/4/4 channel analyzer.
The CSI 2600 comes in non-Transient and Transient configurations. A non-Transient unit is
designated by an "M", such as A2600M, and a Transient unit is designated by "T", such as
A2600T. The analog channel count is also part of the name; a 12 channel unit is designated
by the number "7", and a 24 channel unit is designated by the number "8". Available models
are:
• A2600M7—non-Transient, 12 channel
• A2600M8—non-Transient, 24 channel
• A2600T7—Transient, 12 channel
• A2600T8—Transient, 24 channel
This manual will assume that the CSI 2600 is an A2600T8—a Transient, 24 channel system.
