1.3 RECEIVING, INSPECTING AND HANDLING THE SYSTEM
Metrix ships the probe, extension cable, and driver as separate units that the user intercon-
nects at the installation site. Carefully remove all equipment from the shipping containers
and inspect it for shipping damage. If you see shipping damage, file a claim with the carrier
and submit a copy to Metrix Instrument Co. Include part numbers and serial numbers on all
correspondence. If no damage is apparent and the equipment is not going to be used imme-
diately, return the equipment to the shipping containers and reseal until ready for use. Store
the equipment in an environment that is free from potentially damaging conditions such as
extreme temperature, excessive humidity, or a corrosive atmosphere.
2. OVERVIEW
The Metrix Digital Proximity System module comes in two versions:
•
MX2033 – 3-wire proximity driver
•
MX2034 – 2-wire, loop powered proximity transmitter
A complete DPS system requires a DPS module, a proximity probe, and an extension cable.
You can configure the MX2033 and MX2034 modules to operate with the probe and cable
combinations shown in Table 1.
