Who should use this manual?
The manual is intended for personnel such as operators of process monitoring/control
systems using a VM600 machinery protection system (MPS).
Operators are assumed to have the necessary technical training in electronics and
mechanical engineering (professional certificate/diploma, or equivalent) to enable them to
install, configure and use the system.
Applicability of the manual
The manual applies to a VM600 machinery protection system (MPS) using the new
generation of VM600 MPC4 cards (hardware versions 03x, 11x, 21x and subsequent
models). These later cards are easily distinguished from earlier models as they have seven
LEDs on their panels, whereas previous versions (01x and 02x) had only one LED (identified
as DIAG).
Users of systems having earlier versions of the MPC4 card should refer to edition 4 of this
manual.
