Digital Proximity SystemOperation and Maintenance ManualThe DPS (Digital Proximity System) devicesconsists of two modules: the MX2033 andMX2034. The MX2033 is a conventional3-wire driver while the MX2034 is a twowire current loop transmitter. Users can configure either unit to measure peak-to-peakvibration, gap distance, or rotational speed.These products are used in conjunction witha proximity probe and extension cable tomeasure the vibration levels, gap distances,or rotational speed of machinery shafts. Users can configure the units via a USB cableand configuration software.100576 REV C

1.3 RECEIVING, INSPECTING AND HANDLING THE SYSTEMMetrix ships the probe, extension cable, and driver as separate units that the user interconnects at the installation site. Carefully remove all equipment from the shipping containersand inspect it for shipping damage. If you see shipping damage, file a claim with the carrierand submit a copy to Metrix Instrument Co. Include part numbers and serial numbers on allcorrespondence. If no damage is apparent and the equipment is not going to be used immediately, return the equipment to the shipping containers and reseal until ready for use. Storethe equipment in an environment that is free from potentially damaging conditions such asextreme temperature, excessive humidity, or a corrosive atmosphere.2. OVERVIEWThe Metrix Digital Proximity System module comes in two versions: MX2033 – 3-wire proximity driver MX2034 – 2-wire, loop powered proximity transmitterA complete DPS system requires a DPS module, a proximity probe, and an extension cable.You can configure the MX2033 and MX2034 modules to operate with the probe and cablecombinations shown in Table 1.Table 1: Probe ConfigurationsManufacturerProbe SeriesSystem LengthMetrixMX2030 5 mm or 8mm tip5mMetrixMX2030 5 mm or 8 mm tip9mMetrix7200 5 mm or 8 mm tip5mMetrix7200 5 mm or 8 mm tip9mBently Nevada3300 or 3300 XL 5 mm or 8mm tip5mBently Nevada3300 or 3300 XL 5 mm or 8mm tip9mBently Nevada7200 5 mm or 8 mm tip5mBently Nevada7200 5 mm or 8 mm tip9mStandard target material is AISI 4140.

The sections below provide more module information.2.1 MX2033 THREE-WIRE PROXIMITY DRIVERThe MX2033 signal output is proportional to the distance between the probe tip and thetarget material. The signal output follows API Standard 670 and is compatible with mostcontinuous vibration monitoring systems. The MX2033 uses ‐24Vdc excitation and providesan output scale factor of 7.87 mV/mm (200mV/mil) for 5 mm and 8mm probes.2.2 MX2034 TWO-WIRE TRANSMITTERThe MX2034 provides an ISA standard 4‐20 mA signal proportional to vibration, axial position shaft speed (RPM) for direct connection to a PLC, DCS, SCADA system, or other instrumentation without requiring a separate monitor system. The MX2034 is powered by 24Vdc, supplied within the current loop. The MX2034 is user configurable to function as eithera radial vibration transmitter (where the 4‐20 mA signal is proportional to peak‐peak vibration amplitude), as an axial position transmitter (where the 4‐20 mA signal is proportional toaverage probe gap) or as a speed (RPM) transmitter (where the 4-20 mA signal is proportional to the speed of a machine). For convenience when connecting to signal analyzers,portable data collectors, and test instrumentation, the raw vibration signal is available ata short‐circuit protected BNC connector. Refer to section 3.6 of this manual for importantinformation and cautions regarding proper use of this connector.2.3 FOR MORE INFORMATIONRefer to these documents for more information:1087015 MX2030 Digital Proximity Transducer System Datasheet1232961 DPS Hazardous Area Installation Manual100528 DPS Label Kit ManualDoc# 100576 REV C (Sept 2017) Page 5 of 42
