SKF Multilog On-Line System IMx-M
User Manual
Make a detailed layout of the equipment, the network, and distances between
components. Include specifically the IMx-M rack(s), the @ptitude Observer Monitor
computer, the database server computer and all hubs/routers in the network. Specify
network configuration of each components, such as IP addresses and subnet masks.
SKF application engineers and service engineers need these information in order to
assist.
Rack / Cabinet
An IMx-M rack contains circuit boards that are static sensitive. Therefore, use
appropriate precautions to prevent Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) when handling circuit
boards.
The following are some of the ways to prevent ESD:
Use an ESD wrist strap when handling circuit boards
Use a grounding mat when handling circuit boards
Use correct packaging materials such as antistatic bags when transferring circuit
boards
The IMx-M rack shall be mounted inside a cabinet at a location where it is not exposed
to unnecessary radiant heat or strong magnetic fields.
Mount the IMx-M rack and make sure that it is firmly attached.

Important - IMx-M rack contains circuit boards that are static sensitive.
Therefore, use appropriate precautions (examples above) to prevent ESD when
handling circuit boards.
Important - Different types of modules must be positioned correctly in the
rack. The positions of the different types of modules are shown in
Drawings and Connections chapter.
Important - A condition monitoring module (CMM) and a protection module
(PRM) must be installed as a pair in order to ensure the internal power
redundancy.
Important - Due to the physical reason, when mounting a pair of CMM and
PRM, must always mount the PRM before the CMM in order to avoid any damages
to the PRM. However, when dismounting a pair of CMM and PRM, it must be the
other way around. Due to the physical reason, must always dismount the CMM
before the PRM. Otherwise, the PRM can be seriously damaged.
