Hardware

 

Clock in the DTECT X1 device is different to the system time of the PC. What is to do?

 

A drift of two clocks of a few seconds per week might occur. It is not necessary to adjust the clock of the device. When it is convenient to start a new trend proceed as follows: Connect with the device. Right click on the X1 device and select from the menu that opens ‘set clock of the connected X1 with system time’

Is it possible to upgrade the DTECT X1 device from one additional channel to two additional channels? Has the device to be sent in to do the update.

 

Yes, it is possible to do an upgrade to two additional channels. (Only some older versions of DTECT X1 must be upgraded by hardware replacement) You sent us an order that includes the serial number of the system and we return a special firmware upgrade file, to do the upgrade on spot with the flashupdater, best with a serial link to the device. If your device has got the speed depending monitoring option, it will also work for the second additional channel. Upon request, our sales department will send you an offer.

Is it possible to also monitor the temperature with the DTECT X1?

 

There are two possibilities to connect a temperature measuring device (0-10V output). 1) Connect the output to an additional channel and configure °C/V. 2) Connect the output to an input channel (the DTECT X1system has to be ordered with one DC input channel).

Is it possible to get other readings of the measured values than the first monitoring configuration in the DTECT X1 display?

 

With the control keys you can scroll through a menu guided program and then select the monitoring configuration to be displayed. The menu structure can be looked up in the manual page 4-13.

Can I make a configuration with speed depending monitoring for two shafts running at different speed? I have a DTECT X1 (8 input channel 8 monitoring configuration 2 additional channel) system with speed depending monitoring possible.

 

In each monitoring configuration it is possible to choose a speed dependent ‘characteristic value mode’ and link one of the two additional input channels. The additional channel has to be configured in the device configuration. The active speed input for each monitoring configuration must be linked to validation 1.

Communication with the DTECT X1 system fails after a system reset was necessary. What is the reason?

 

Keep in mind that a system reset also resets the communication baud rate to 9600.
