Checking Vibration Transmitter Power
VMS #1
1. Connect a DC voltmeter to the +
and - terminals of the
transmitter.
2. With control power on, there
should be approximately 24
VDC present at the terminals.
3. If approximately 24 VDC is not
present; see the section titled
“Control Power System”.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances
should the vibration transmitter zero
or span be adjusted. Calibration of
the vibration transmitter requires
special tooling and calibration
fixtures. Contact the factory if
calibration is required.

Checking Vibration Circuit
VMS #2
1. With control power on, check the dc
voltage at the COM and TEST terminals
on the transmitter. A reading of 3 to 6
VDC should be present [this corresponds
to a 0.030 to 0.060 inches (0.762 to 1.524
mm)] probe gap.
2. If less than 3 volts is present the probe
gap may be incorrect, or a short circuit
may exist. Check the cable connections
and cable.
3. If more than 6 volts is present the probe
gap may be incorrect, or an open circuit
may exist. Check the cable connections
and cable.
4. If no voltage exists, the transmitter may
be faulty. Remove control power and
swap connections with another
transmitter and test.
