GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

 
The Robertshaw Model 563A Vibraswitch Electronic 
Monitor is a microprocessor based supervisory control 
system designed for use with Robertshaw Model 365 or 
366 Vibraswitch Malfunction Detectors. It may be used 
with one to eight Vibraswitches and has been programmed 
to provide a means of differentiating between valid 
excessive vibration and excessive vibration resulting from 
temporary external disturbances. 
 
Many machines, during their normal operation, will suffer 
occasional short-duration transient shocks, which are 
external to the monitored machine. Examples of these 
disturbances are: Closing of pipeline check valves on 
pumping applications; Start-up of additional pumps on a 
line; nearby machinery operating - such as hydraulic 
presses, etc.. These disturbances may cause a Vibraswitch 
to "trip out" if the vibratory level is in excess of its setpoint. 
The Model 563A provides field settable Monitor Time 
Delay circuitry that eliminates equipment shutdown 
because of these transients and ensures that only a 
continuous vibration level which exceeds the setpoint of the 
Vibraswitch will initiate an alarm and/or shutdown. This 
Monitor Time Delay is adjustable, using digital rotary 
switches, over a range of 0 to 99 seconds. 
 
Nearly all rotating machinery, during its "start-up" 
operation, will go through an excessive vibration point 
which is inherent to the machine. This vibration level 
sometimes is higher than the alarm/shutdown level desired 
for safe protection. The Model 563A contains circuitry 
which provides a Starting Time Delay to disable the 
Vibraswitches for a period of time to allow the machine to 
reach its normal operating speed or condition. After this 
delay period, the Model 563A activates the Vibraswitches 
to provide the necessary vibration protection. The Start 
Time Delay is adjustable over a range of 0 to 999 seconds 
by means of digital rotary switches. 
 
Eight LED indicators, viewable through the window on the 
instrument door, are provided for visual indication to 
determine which Vibraswitch detected the excessive 
vibration and triggered the alarm and/or shutdown. 
 
The supply power for the Vibraswitch Electronic Monitor 
is available as: 

120 VAC 
240 VAC 
48 VDC 
24 VDC
