Configuration and Setup
– Setup and configuration can be performed through the serial RS-232 port using the supplied Setup and Monitoring PC program, CHT 1012. All settings can be changed in the field.
– Setup and display can also be performed remotely from an external PC or controller (e.g., WTC or process controller) via an optional RS-485 connection.
– A log in the PC software records monitor-specific settings and identifies the instrument by its serial number.

Configuration
The PCH 1026 is a self-contained monitor in a sealed, rugged case. It requires only DC power and the required output connections to operate.
Required.The PCH 1026 is designed for low frequency monitoring applications.
Built-in vibration sensors in 3 directions: Built-in vibration sensors in 3 directions: X, Y and Z.
Includes test functions for all sensors and electronic circuits, as well as an internal watchdog for continuous self-monitoring functions.
The design of the PCH 1026 is based on a www.cniacs.com digital platform that provides customers with a wide range of solutions and allows for quick configuration and setup changes in the field.
Signal Conditioning
All signal conditioning is performed digitally.
This means that settings and configurations can be changed and verified via the included PC software programme (CHT1012).
Digital signal processing is performed by state-of-the-art DSP technology, ensuring accurate and efficient monitoring.
Selective monitoring of frequencies or bands of interest can be achieved by choosing from a variety of high and low pass filters. Simply select from which frequency to monitor.
The PCH 1026 has a wide range of filters that have been proven over many years of industry experience.
