204-215-000-101 CALIBRATOR MODULE

1. Product Overview:Ensuring Accuracy in Critical Monitoring

The Meggitt 204-215-000-101 Calibrator Module is a specialized component designed for calibrating and verifying the accuracy of sensors, input/output modules, and processing units in Meggitt’s machinery protection and condition monitoring systems (e.g., VM600Mk2/VM600 series). Engineered for industrial environments—including power generation, oil & gas, and heavy manufacturing—it delivers reliable, traceable calibration to maintain the performance of safety-critical monitoring equipment.

As a key part of Meggitt’s industrial sensing ecosystem, this module supports on-site or in-rack calibration, eliminating the need for external calibration tools and reducing equipment downtime. It integrates seamlessly with compatible VM600 modules (e.g., MPC4Mk2, IOC4Mk2) and uses standardized signals to ensure consistent, compliant measurements across all connected machinery monitoring components.

2. Key Features & Benefits: Precision, Convenience, and Reliability

2.1 Versatile Calibration Capabilities

• Multi-Signal Support: Generates and measures standard industrial signals, including 4–20 mA current, 0–10 V voltage, and tachometer (speed) signals (compatible with vibration, temperature, and speed sensors).

• Traceable Accuracy: Calibrates to international standards (e.g., ISO 9001) for traceable measurements, ensuring compliance with industry regulations (e.g., IEC 61508 for functional safety).

• Module-Specific Calibration: Optimized for Meggitt VM600 series components—directly interfaces with processing modules (MPC4Mk2) and I/O modules (IOC4Mk2) to verify signal integrity.

2.2 Industrial-Grade Durability & Integration

• Rugged Design: Constructed with industrial-grade materials (aligned with Meggitt’s VM600 rack components) to withstand harsh conditions, including vibration, temperature fluctuations, and airborne contaminants.

• In-Rack Compatibility: Fits 19-inch 6U VM600 racks (e.g., ABE040, ABE042) in single-width slots, enabling seamless integration into existing monitoring systems without additional space.

• EMI/EMC Protection: Features electromagnetic interference (EMI) filtering to resist industrial electrical noise, ensuring stable calibration results in high-interference environments (e.g., near motors, frequency converters).

2.3 User-Friendly Operation & Low Maintenance

• Simplified Workflow: Guided calibration sequences via compatible software (e.g., VM600 MPSx, VibroSight®) reduce operator error; no specialized calibration expertise required.

• Real-Time Verification: Provides instant feedback on calibration results (pass/fail) and logs data for audit trails, simplifying compliance documentation.

• Minimal Maintenance: Contains no user-serviceable parts; factory-calibrated for long-term accuracy (periodic verification recommended, no on-site adjustment needed).

• Weight: ~0.3 kg (0.66 lb) (unpackaged).

4. Certifications & Compliance: Global Standards for Safety & Accuracy

The 204-215-000-101 Calibrator Module meets strict international regulations to ensure reliable, compliant performance:

• Quality & Traceability: ISO 9001 certified (manufacturing and calibration processes).

• EMC Compliance: IEC/EN 61000-6-2, IEC/EN 61000-6-4 (resists industrial electromagnetic interference).

• Electrical Safety: IEC/EN 61010-1 (safe for use in industrial electrical environments).

• Environmental: RoHS compliant (restricts hazardous substances in manufacturing).

• Functional Safety: Compatible with SIL 1/2 systems (per IEC 61508) when used with certified VM600 components.

5. Installation & Configuration: Seamless Integration with VM600 Systems

5.1 Installation Requirements

• Rack Compatibility: Install in 19-inch 6U VM600 racks (ABE040, ABE042, ABE056) – single-width slot (front or rear, per rack configuration).

• Module Pairing: Connect to target modules (e.g., MPC4Mk2, IOC4Mk2) via VM600 backplane; no external wiring required for communication.

• Safety Compliance: Ensure rack power is de-energized during installation/removal; cover unpopulated slots with blank panels (per VM600 safety guidelines).

5.2 Configuration & Operation

• Software Setup: Use Meggitt’s VM600 MPSx or VibroSight® software (via RS-232 or Ethernet) to:

1. Select calibration signal type (current/voltage/speed).

2. Set target values for verification.

3. Log and export calibration reports.

• Calibration Sequence:

1. Initiate calibration via software; module generates test signals.

2. Target module (e.g., MPC4Mk2) receives signals and returns measured values.

3. Software compares measured vs. target values; flags deviations outside tolerance.

6. Applications: Where Calibration Ensures Reliability

The 204-215-000-101 Calibrator Module is critical for maintaining accuracy in machinery monitoring systems across industries:

• Power Generation: Calibrates vibration sensors and speed transmitters for turbines and generators (ensures early detection of imbalance or misalignment).

• Oil & Gas: Verifies pressure/temperature sensor signals in pipelines and compressors (complies with safety standards for explosive atmospheres).

• Heavy Manufacturing: Calibrates I/O modules for motor vibration monitoring (prevents unplanned downtime from equipment failure).

• Aerospace & Defense: Validates sensor accuracy for ground support equipment (meets strict aerospace quality requirements).
