Application
The SwitchBox channel switching unit VIB 6.785 has been
designed to enable inaccessible measurement locations to
be monitored and hard wired back to a safe position.
The channels are individually selected by a rotary switch.
The data collector (e.g. VIBSCANNER or VIBXPERT) is connected to one of the two sockets (TNC/MIL) using an appropriate cable.

Installation
The SwitchBox requires no external power supply. Up to
12 accelerometers can be connected to the SwitchBox.
All accelerometer cables are glanded into the SwitchBox,
terminations are made off into spring terminals. The VIB
81060 screwdriver is included in the scope of delivery for
the installation of the accelerometer cables.
As of version 1.1 the SwitchBox can also be installed in
hazardous areas.
