MTN/3000 Manual Switching Box
- Manufacturer: Monitran
- Category: Signal converters, INSTRUMENTATION
Manual channel switching box for vibration sensors, from 2 to 64 channels depending on the model (MTN/3002 to MTN/3064). Allows for permanent wiring of sensors and measurement from a centralized control point. Applications: inspection routes, cooling tower motors, high-rise fans, and machinery in confined spaces.
No external power supply is required: it uses the constant current from the portable data collector. A rotary selector on the front panel chooses the measurement point. BNC, TNC, or MS output connectors are selectable on the front panel.
Painted steel or stainless steel (optional -SS) enclosure, IP65 rated, with hinged door. Internal connections on screw terminal blocks on DIN rail. Integrated wall brackets. Compatible with dual vibration and temperature sensors.
- Up to 64 measurement channels in a single location.
- Passive operation: without external power supply.
- IP65, with hinged door.
- Stainless steel option (-SS).
- Dimensions: up to 12 channels 200 x 200 x 150 mm; up to 24 channels 300 x 200 x 150 mm; up to 64 channels 400 x 300 x 250 mm.
Technical Frequently Asked Questions
1. What type of wiring do the inputs support?
Standard accelerometer cable. The cables enter through cable glands and are terminated internally in DIN terminal blocks.
2. Can temperature signals be switched in addition to vibration?
Yes. Variants such as the MTN/3000D are designed for dual sensors (e.g., MTN/1100T) and switch the vibration and temperature signals for each point.
3. Can 4-20mA outputs be added?
Conditioning circuits for 4-20 mA outputs, or digital displays on the front panel, can be integrated upon request.
