Multi-Channel Machinery Protection Monitor
The Mechanalysis model MIL8700 Machinery Protection
Monitor has been providing Industry with unrivalled
reliable machinery protection for over 15 years. During
this time it has taken advantage of technology improvements
to offer greater functionality. Over 1300 units have
been delivered to Industry with almost 100% reliability
in long term service. This remarkable performance
endorses Mechanalysis (India) Ltd. as a leading supplier
of on-line vibration measurement and TSI parameters
with essential functionality at competitive prices.
The MIL8700 system consists of a Main Rack Frame,
panel mounting type. It houses a maximum of eight
modules from a wide selection of measurement Modules
(vibration and turbine supervisory). When loaded with
up to eight dual channel modules a maximum of 16 measurement
channels are possible in one rack frame. Modules with
Analog or Digital displays are available. The MIL8700
provides industry standard 4-20mA DC signal output
for interfacing with Distributed Control System (DCS).
Barrier-type terminal strips for external wiring are
located at the rear. Input signals are continuously
monitored to ensure that the sensors, interconnecting
cables and modules are functioning.
Sealed electromagnetic relays are fitted in the Main
Rack Frame for common Alarm, Trip and Circuit Fault
functions. Reed relay contacts provide individual
Alarm and Trip per module. Higher relay contact ratings
of 5A resistive at 230VAC are available with the optional
Relay Expander Module.
The Control Module Panel contains a Power ‘ON’
LED indicator, Start-up Attenuation, Trip Override
LED indicator and a Circuit Test switch. The standard
Main Rack Frame has a concealed trip override switch
for use by service personnel.
An integral Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) located
at the rear provides DC power for the modules and
associated transducers. The unit copes ably with most
power supply inputs as well as variations in the mains
supplies.
