Eddy-Current Probe and Relay Interface
The 88984-01 belongs to the relay interface portion of the 3300 machinery monitoring architecture. Therefore, the upstream monitor performs the measurement and alarm decision, while the relay assembly provides the physical switching interface.
For installations using eddy-current proximity systems, verify the monitor configuration, transducer scaling, and barrier arrangement before commissioning. The documented 3300 monitor configurations support transducer options including 3300 and 7200 Proximitor systems with defined sensitivity selections.
The internal barrier configuration separates the field-side interface from the monitoring circuitry according to the applicable system design. In addition, the hermetic relay construction provides a sealed relay contact assembly for the configured alarm interface.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the 88984-01 a complete vibration monitor?
A: No. The 88984-01 is a relay assembly. The associated 3300 monitor performs signal measurement, alarm processing, and monitoring functions.
Q: What relay configuration does 88984-01 provide?
A: The documented configuration is a dual hermetic relay assembly with internal barriers.
Q: Can 88984-01 be substituted directly for another 88984 series option?
A: Not without checking the original system configuration. The 3300 documentation identifies separate options for dual hermetic relays, dual epoxy relays, and no-relay assemblies with internal barriers.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Verify the 88984-01 part number against the monitor rack configuration before installation.
- Confirm that the system requires the Dual Hermetic, Internal Barriers option.
- Isolate the rack and external relay circuits before removing or installing the relay assembly.
- Route relay wiring separately from high-energy power conductors and high-noise switching circuits.
- Maintain the specified terminal and wiring arrangement defined by the applicable 3300 system documentation.
- Keep signal and relay wiring mechanically secured to prevent terminal stress and conductor movement.
- Connect cable shields according to the system grounding scheme. Avoid creating unintended shield-current paths between separate grounding points.
- After installation, verify relay contact continuity and the corresponding alarm or shutdown circuit response.
- Confirm that the monitor generates the intended relay state before returning the machinery protection circuit to service.
