Connections and Set Up for Combined Accelerometers (Vibration and Temperature), Three-Wire Accelerometer

Usually there are problems during connection and set up of combined sensors in SKF Multilog IMx on-line monitoring and protection systems due to bad readings on the temperature side. This document explains in detail how to connect these sensors to SKF Multilog On-line System IMx-S, –T, –W and –M and how to set them up in SKF @ptitude Observer and SKF @ptitude Analyst.

The sensors commonly used for this purpose and described here are CMSS 2100T, CMSS 2200T, CMSS 797T-1, CMSS 797T-3, CMPT 2323T and CMPT 2310T. These sensors have three pins/cables: one for accelerometer signal/power, one for temperature sensor signal and one for temperature and accelerometer signal common.
