CTC switch box solutions allow for the monitoring of remotely mounted vibration
sensors, which would otherwise be restricted to human access due to safety
considerations.
JB320 Series Switch Box Overview: 4-12 channel boxes, stainless steel
enclosure
The JB320 Dual Output Switch Box is a common cable termination point for
bringing a variety of sensors including Biaxial, LP400, Dual Output Vib/Temp and
Two Single Axis sensors into a switch box for routine data collection with portable
data collectors. JB series enclosures are designed to have field input cabling
installed behind the board. A flip-down panel allows the user to wire connections
on location. The JB series also features an IEPE bias indicator light built into the
box itself, which can be used to indicate errors in the field wiring or the sensor.
Rated for NEMA 4X (IP66), the JB320 is resistant to hose directed fluid
and corrosion. The box can also withstand harsh environments, including
temperatures ranging from -58 to 180 °F (-50 to 82 °C). A key latch is installed on
the door, allowing the box to be sealed from the elements when not in use.
If a continuous output application is desired that can be easily accomplished by
purchasing the optional CTC accessory “T” plug part number JB931-3A.

If you have purchased a enclosure without cable entries provided, you should
add your own entry prior to mounting the switch box. CTC does not recommend
putting holes in the top of enclosure as it will cause restricted access to the wire
termination connection points and also allow possible moisture ingress.
Note: To prevent a buildup of condensation inside the enclosure, provide drainage
by drilling a hole in the lowest point of the conduit.

Ensure the shield ground wire on JB320 Series Switch Boxes is grounded to
earth ground.
A. Mounting to Earth Ground
When mounting JB320 Series Switch boxes to earth ground (such as an I-Beam),
no additional steps are necessary, as the enclosure is grounded internally.

B. Mounting to non-grounded structure
When mounting the switch box to a non-grounded structure, ensure the shield
ground wire or customer supplied ground wire is tied to a source of earth ground.

Installation of sensors/signal input cable
1. Feed blunt cut end through the cable entry at the bottom of the enclosure.
Note: it is recommended that cables are marked on both ends.
For cord grip cable entry, take off the cord grip cover with bushing and run cable
through it then into the enclosure, hand tighten cord grip cover to base to prevent
damage of cord grip.
1. Strip outer jacket of cable back 1¼ in. and remove all of the shielding.
2. Separate the internal wires from the shield.
3. Strip red, black, and white insulation back ¼ in.
