NOTE
The machine should be running during most of this procedure.
If machine is down, simulate running machine with inputs from
function generator or TK3 test kit.

CAUTION
Test could exceed alarm
setpoint levels causing
alarms to activate. This
could cause relay
contacts to change state.
1. Inspect outside of rack for physical damage.

3. Actuate RESET switch and observe monitor ALARM LEDs. Latched monitor ALARM LEDs should
go off if their inputs are not currently exceeding the alarm level.

NOTE
To gather troubleshooting
information continue to next test
even if alarm LEDs fail to go
out.

4. Observe that OK and ALARM LEDs go on in accordance with current input and setpoint levels.

NOTE
To gather troubleshooting
information continue to next
test even if alarm LEDs do
not agree with input and
setpoint levels.

5. Check Alarm setpoint levels on all monitors.

6. Observe monitor OK LEDs and monitor front panel display while actuating GAP switch on each
monitor. Refer to applicable monitor manual for gap OK limits.

7. Measure voltage at applicable monitor front panel BUFFERED TRANSDUCER coaxial cable
connector. Monitor front panel gap display reading should agree with multimeter reading (set
multimeter to DC volts).

8. Measure Proximitor/Accelerometer Interface Module power at signal module PWR terminal. The
acceptable voltage range depends on what transducer voltage the supply is configured for. If the
supply is configured for -24V, the acceptable range is -23.28 to -24.40 VDC. If the supply is
configured for -18V, the acceptable range is -17.48 to -18.40 VDC.

9. Disconnect Proximitor/Accelerometer Interface Module power field wire at signal module PWR
terminal and remeasure voltage at signal module PWR terminal.
