Section 1 - TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDELINES

1. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDELINES
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.

STEP 1
Inspect outside of rack for physical damage.

STEP 2
Observe that SUPPLIES OK LED on system monitor is on.

Section 1 - TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDELINES

STEP 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.

GO TO NEXT STEP

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

3300 System Troubleshooting Operation Manual

STEP 5
Check Alarm setpoint levels on all monitors.

STEP 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.

Section 1 - TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDELINES

STEP 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).

STEP 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.

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

Section 1 - TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDELINES

STEP 10
Measure voltage at Proximitor/Accelerometer Interface Module -VT terminal.

STEP 11
Disconnect Proximitor/Accelerometer Interface Module power -VT wire and measure
voltage at wire.

STEP 12
Disconnect wire from Proximitor/Accelerometer Interface Module OUTPUT terminal and
measure voltage at terminal.
PROXIMITOR

STEP 13
Reconnect wire to Proximitor/Accelerometer Interface Module OUTPUT terminal.
Disconnect wire at signal module IN terminal and measure voltage at wire.
