Digital Proximity System
Opera� on and Maintenance Manual
100576 • REV B
The DPS (Digital Proximity System) family
consists of two devices, the MX2033 and
MX2034. The MX2033 is a conven� onal
3-wire driver while the MX2034 is a two-
wire current loop transmi! er. Users can con-
fi gure either unit to measure peak-to-peak
vibra� on, gap distance, or rota� onal speed.
These products are used in conjunc� on with
a proximity probe and extension cable to
measure the vibra� on levels, gap distances,
or rota� onal speed of machinery sha# s.
Users can also confi gure the units via a USB
cable and confi gura� on so# ware.

The sec! ons below provide more module informa! on.
2.1 MX2033 THREE�WIRE PROXIMITY DRIVER
The MX2033 signal output is propor! onal to the distance between the probe ! p and the
target material. The signal output follows API Standard 670 and is compa! ble with most
con! nuous vibra! on monitoring systems. The MX2033 uses -24Vdc excita! on and provides
an output scale factor of 7.87 mV/mm (200mV/mil) for 5 mm and 8mm probes.
2.2 MX2034 TWO�WIRE TRANSMITTER
The MX2034 provides an ISA standard 4-20 mA signal propor! onal to vibra! on or axial posi-
! on for direct connec! on to a PLC, DCS, SCADA system, or other instrumenta! on without
requiring a separate monitor system. The MX2034 is powered by +24 Vdc, supplied within
the current loop. The MX2034 is user-programmable to func! on as either a radial vibra! on
transmi" er (where the 4-20 mA signal is propor! onal to peak-peak vibra! on amplitude), or
as an axial posi! on transmi" er (where the 4-20 mA signal is propor! onal to average probe
gap). For convenience when connec! ng to signal analyzers, portable data collectors, and test
instrumenta! on, the raw vibra! on signal is available at a short-circuit protected BNC con-
nector. Refer to sec! on 3.6 of this manual for important informa! on and cau! ons regarding
proper use of this connector.

3.5.4.4 MEASUREMENT
The Measurement fi eld is only ac! ve for the MX2034 transmi$ er model. The MX2034 cur-
rently supports two measurements: Radial Vibra! on and Axial Posi! on.
3.5.4.4.1 RADIAL VIBRATION
The MX2034 performs a peak to peak detec! on and drives the 4-20 mA output as a percent-
age of the confi gured range.
1) Select the new confi gura! on
parameters from the drop down list
2) Click the Send bu$ on to send the new
confi gura! on to the DPS
Doc# 100576 • REV B (April 2015) Page 16 of 42
3.5.4.4.2 AXIAL POSITION
The MX2034 low pass fi lters the measured signal and outputs the axial posi" on as a percent-
age of the confi gured range.
3.5.4.5 RANGE
The Range choices are diff erent for Radial Vibra" on and Axial Posi" on measurements.
3.5.4.6 4!20mA DIRECTION
The MX2034 allows confi gura" on of upscale or downscale for the 4-20mA output. Upscale
means that for the range selected in 3.5.4.5, 4mA corresponds to bo% om of scale and 20mA
corresponds to top of scale; downscale reverses these conven" ons and means that 20mA
corresponds to bo% om of scale and 4mA corresponds to top of scale.

100528 for addi! onal details.
3.6 USING THE MX2034 BUFFERED OUTPUT
Due to the two wire, loop-powered MX2034 transmi" er design, the current loop common
fl oats on top of the voltage developed across the current loop sense resistor.
Doc# 100576 • REV B (April 2015) Page 19 of 42
The buff ered output common is protected against ground loop currents aff ec" ng the current
loop output with a 10kΩ resistance between the buff ered output common and the loop
common.
Metrix recommends using a ground isolated instrument or signal isolator. The meter, oscil-
loscope or analyzer used to measure the gap voltage or to observe the vibra" on signal
(DYNAMIC OUTPUT) must have an input impedance of one megohm or greater.
The scale factor of the output signal is 200 mV/ mil.
Metrix recommends a maximum cable length of 15 % (5 m) when connec" ng to the buff ered
output due to noise suscep" bility caused by the high input and output impedances.
4. VERIFICATION AND CALIBRATION
This sec" on describes the steps to verify proper DPS opera" on and to custom calibrate your
DPS to your specifi c probe and cable.
CAUTION: When using the MX2034 BNC connector, exer-
cise special care to prevent ground loops that could alter
the 4-20mA output, resul" ng in spurious alarms or ma-
chine trips. Such ground loops can occur when connec" ng
to grounded test equipment or mul" ple input test equip-
ment. Metrix recommends use only with ungrounded test
equipment, such as ba' ery-powered portable meters,
or grounded test equipment with diff eren" al inputs (i.e.,
neither side of input connec" on is " ed to ground). Also,
cable lengths between the BNC connector and test equip-
ment should be kept suitably short (5m or less) to prevent
unwanted noise.
NOTE: The DPS requires the probe and extension cables be
from the confi gured probe series, combine to the confi g-
ured system length, and view the confi gured target mate-
rial in order to meet system range and accuracy

4.1.1.4 MEASURE THE VOLTAGE IN GAP INCREMENTS
Increase the micrometer 10 mil (0.25 mm) increments and fi ll in the measured SIG Voltage in
the table below.
Table 4: Verifi ca" on Data Table
mils mm SIG Voltage
10 0.25
20 0.50
30 0.75
40 1.00
50 1.25
60 1.50
70 1.75
80 2.00
90 2.25
To calculate the Average Scale Factor (ASF), subtract the voltage measured at 10 mils (0.25
mm) from the voltage at 90 mils (2.25 mm)and divide by the full scale range of 80 mils (2
mm)
Example:
Voltage at 90 mils (2.25 mm) is -17.1 V
Voltage at 10 mils (0.25 mm) is -0.98 V
ASF = (-0.98) - (-17.1)/80 = 201.5 mV/mil
Or
ASF = (-0.98) - (-17.1)/2 = 8.06 mV/mm
To calculate the Incremental Scale Factor (ISF) at each gap, subtract the SIG voltage mea-
sured 10 mils (0.25 mm) below each increment and divide by 10 mils (0.25 mm).
Example:
Voltage at 40 mils (1.0 mm) is -7.1 V
Voltage at 50 mils (1.25 mm) is -9.02 V
ISF = (-9.02) - (-7.1)/10 = -192 mV/mil
Or
ISF = (-9.02) - (-7.1)/0.25 = -7.68 mV/mm

4.2 SCALE FACTOR CUSTOM CALIBRATION
You can easily custom calibrate the DPS for your probe following the procedure in this sec-
! on. Perform the Scale Factor Verifi ca! on as described in sec! on 4.1.
Open the DPS so$ ware and click the bu% on.
The custom calibra! on window opens.
Enter the voltages measured at each gap from the Scale Factor Verifi ca! on data.
When complete, click the Generate and Load Lineariza! on bu% on. The so$ ware will adjust
the DPS lineariza! on to match the probe and cable.
NOTE: The custom calibra! on process overwrites any
previous custom calibra! on. Standard Metrix factory

Figure 22: Custom Calibra� on Shortened Curve
If this occurs, verify that the voltages you entered were correct. Verify that your system
components combine to the correct length. If all is correct, you can choose to accept the
shortened curve or hit cancel and use a diff erent probe and cable. In some cases, probes
and cables that are far out of specifi ca$ on can be brought into specifi ca$ on by itera$ ng the
custom calibra$ on process several $ mes.
4.2.1 CURRENT LOOP VERIFICATION !MX2034 ONLY"
Follow the steps in this sec$ on to verify the current loop output for Posi$ on or Radial Vibra-
$ on confi gured DPS units.
4.2.1.1 POSITION CONFIGURED UNITS
The transmi% er current output is linearly propor$ onal to the average probe gap (posi$ on)
between 4 mA and 20 mA. Use the instruments and equipment shown in Figure 23 to verify
a posi$ on transmi% er current output.
NOTE: Metrix does not recommend using the custom
calibra$ on feature to calibrate mismatched systems. Mis-
matched systems degrade probe and cable temperature
performance.

Figure 23: Current Loop Valida� on Set Up
At each gap, measure and record the SIG Voltage from the volt meter and the current output
measured by the Ammeter.
mils mm SIG Voltage Current
10 0.25
20 0.50
30 0.75
40 1.00
50 1.25
60 1.50
70 1.75
80 2.00
90 2.25
Use the following equa! on to determine the expected current at each gap.
Current = 16 * (Gap-Bo" om Scale Gap) / (Top Scale Gap-Bo" om Scale Gap) + 4mA
Doc# 100576 • REV B (April 2015) Page 28 of 42
Example: The confi gured range is 10 to 90 mils and the current gap is 30 mils.
Bo" om Scale Gap = 10 mils
Top Scale Gap = 90 mils
Current = 16 * (30 -10) / (90-10) ) +4mA = 8mA
NOTE: Tolerance is + 0.15 mA.
4.2.1.2 RADIAL VIBRATION
The transmi" er current output is linearly propor$ onal to the full scale vibra$ on range
between 4 mA and 20 mA. The following equa$ on represents the rela$ onship between the
vibra$ on and the loop current:
Vibra$ on = (Current (mA) -4) / 16 * (Full Scale Range)
EXAMPLE:
Measured mA Full Scale Vibra! on Actual Vibra! on
<3.6 5.0 mils, pk-pk Probe Fault
4.0 5.0 mils, pk-pk 0.0 mils, pk-pk
12.0 5.0 mils, pk-pk 2.5 mils, pk-pk
20.0 5.0 mils, pk-pk 5.0 mils, pk-pk
