Q PROCESS INSTRUMENTATION CH. 8 TEST Match the terms: A. Bypass switch B. Limit switch C. Process variable switch D. Alarm system E. Vibration sensor F. Switch G. Proximity switch H. Relay I. Alarm switch J. Shutdown switch K. Vibration sensor 1.__-a series of alarms associated with one process unit or equipment system. 2.__a switch used to override the normal operation of a system or device for equipment startup operations or for routine check of alarms. 3.__-an electromechanical device used to limit travel of a component beyond a predetermined point. 4.__-a type of switch that actuates when a predetermined value of a process variable (eg pressure, temperature, level, flow, or analytics) is present. 5.__-a type of switch operation requiring the presence, or closeness, of an object or device to facilitate its operation. 6.__an electromechanical device that boosts, maintains, or controls the electrical flow of a signal through a separate circuit. 7.__-a switch used to actuate a circuit that shuts down a process system or equipment unit 8.__-an electrical device used to start, stop, or otherwise reconfigure the flow of electricity in a circuit. 9.__-a device used to determine the velocity, acceleration, displacement, or any combination of these characteristics for the purpose of predicting wear or impending failure.
