The meter automatically per- forms vibration analysis functions based on machine running speed to help diagnose faults such as unbalance, misalignment and looseness. The system is designed to enable a user to take vibration measurements from assets (e.g. pumps, motors, fans and bearings). The unit displays vibration frequency plots and allows vibration severity and bearing condition to be monitored. 1.1 Control buttons Turning the meter ON is achieved simply by pressing the power on @(ircle) button. The unit automatically turns OFF if not used for 1 minute (this time period can be increased up to 60 minutes using the Setup Wizard). 1.2 Batteries The 9071 requires two AA size batteries and these can be replaced by a removing the battery compartment cover (held in place by 6 screws) as shown in the photographs below. Use a #1 phillips head screwdriver to loosen and tighten the battery cover screws. Using the incorrect screw- driver will result in damage to the screws. Care must be taken when the batteries are changed. Make sure the gasket is properly seated when reinstalling the battery door otherwise the IP67 rat- ing will be compromised. 1.3 Service The 9071 contains no user serviceable parts. In the unlikely case of malfunction, please return the complete unit to your supplier for repair. 9071 Vibration Anais Copyrahe 2012 Test PrasuetsIiematons he. PAGES 4Wy 2.1 Fitting the sensor 9071 is supplied with a cable connected sensor >» & that connects to the BNC connector on the meter. The nominal sensitivity of the sensor is 100mV/g ~ and this is the meter’s default setting for sensor sensitivity. The Smart Trend Meter 9080 can also accept any standard IEPE (constant current) accelerometer and the sensor sensitivity setting can be adjusted to accommodate other sensitivities. The default setting is 100mV/g. 2.2 Taking a reading To take a reading, briefly press the © circle button to turn the unit ON and then, while holding the tip of the unit against the machine to be measured, press the circle button again to take the reading. This causes the overall vibration numbers ISO screen to be displayed as shown in the 0.473 na example screenshot on the left. This shows an overall view of the machine's fs} 0.4 vibration condition as explained in the ea A following sections. N.B. for best results the sensor should be placed gently onto the measurement point by “rolling” the magnet onto the machine. This is in order to avoid any sudden shocks that would be seen as large acceleration peaks by the sensor and could take some time (several seconds) to die away 2.2.1 Vibration readings Once a vibration reading has been taken, the display will show three values, as shown in the screenshot above. + ISO value (velocity in mm/second or in/sec) + Bearing Noise in BDU (Bearing Damage Units) * Total g (acceleration) According to ISO standards, values will display on a Green background indicating a new machine condition, Amber background indicating unlim- ited long term operation allowable, and Red background indicating vibra- tion causes damage. Total g (acceleration) always displays on a Blue background. These readings are explained in more detail below with some examples of what they actually mean: 4 aWy ISO mmis or in/sec The ISO value (in mm/s or inch/s) is the large number at the top of the screen, which is the RMS value of the vibration velocity in the frequency band 10Hz (600 RPM) to 1kHz (60,000 RPM), as specified by the ISO standard? The ISO value background is color coded according to the ISO 10816-1 vibration velocity level chart (see below). The color coded background will indicate the condition of the machine according to the relevant vibration levels for the size and type of machine selected with the Setup Wizard (see section 2.2.1). < os oO 2. ra oz ore on 006: was g2i <1 7400002 ss 008 =) os 003 - coeessepl Jj Saget om ae Sea es eae wg ra oe wregaedaive | enersitiner | om Z3isme | oSESa | a a sl aoe DY se man conven TF snensem epost stent Ciemmpemetres (Okammnetncmy “Wo sGH11 1905 Nachanalvraton~ Evo of machin raion by msuramens vont pot venantane compos rareactesinte PARES 4Wy Bearing Noise (BDU) Below the displayed ISO value and to the left is the value of bearing noise (high frequency vibration) in Bearing Damage Units (BDU), where 100 BDU corresponds to 1g RMS vibration measured above 1kHz. This is a measure of the wear state of the bearings in the equip- ment being monitored. The higher the number, the more worn the bear- ing. It is generally held that 1g of high frequency vibration (100 BDU) corresponds to a high level of bearing noise and so can be considered indicative of a damaged bearing. In other words, it may be helpful to think of the Bearing Noise figure as being very roughly equivalent to “percentage” of bearing wear. By default, the bearing noise is displayed on a Red background if it is above 100 BDU, an Amber background between 50 and 100 BDU and a Green background below 50 BDU. The BDU alarm levels can be changed using the Advanced Settings Menu (see section 2.3.3.1). Total acceleration (g) This is the RMS (average) value of the total vibration in the ISO frequency range (10Hz to 1kHz). This reading is shown in units of g or Earth’s gravitational constant, (where 1g = 9.81 m/s’). 2.2.2 Vibration Analysis Pressing the square @ button brings up a display similar to that shown opposite, which shows the readings Unc h oea TOR of vibration velocity (mm/s or inch/s) broken down into each of 3 bands. > Gar) Ga) 4 Run Speed: 1450 RPM The display shows the vibration velocity in frequency ranges that are all based on multiples of the specified Run Speed of the machine, and as displayed beneath the 3 bar graphs. PAGE ——Copyghto 2012 Test Produc histone. 071 Varason Anais 4Wy In order to perform a vibration analysis it is important that the run- ning speed of the machine is entered correctly. This is done using the “Setup Wizard” as described in Section 2.3.1 of this user guide. The frequency ranges of the bands are based on the following multiples of running speed”: 1X (Unbalance): The level of vibration in the frequency band based on the running speed is usually indicative of how well balanced the machine is. A large vibration at the running speed usually indicates that the machine is out of balance. However even a very well balanced machine will usually show some vibration at the running speed but this figure should ideally be quite low (e.g. typically less than about 2 mm/sec or .11 in/sec for a medium sized machine) 2X (Misalignment): Vibration in the frequency band centered at twice the running speed is a possible indication of misalignment. This is based on the fact that shaft misalignment can result in a double peak in the waveform due to there being two different centres of gravity (one from each shaft). In other words the accelerometer picks up a peak as each centre of gravity passes by and hence there will be two positive and two negative peaks each revolution of the shaft. This will typically give rise to a vibration signal at double the running speed of the machine. 3X (Looseness): Vibration in the frequency band centered at 3 times running speed is a possible indication that something may be loose (e.g. loose mounting bolts, weak foundations etc.) as it is not usual to see third order vibration in a machine unless there is some structural looseness that is being “excited” by the vibration of the machine. es of running speed are often referred to as “orders” Copyright© 2012 Tet Potts aratonl Ine.

The heights of the peaks indicate the eT RMS vibration level in (mm/s or inch/s) BVlaiff at each frequency point in the spectrum. it | The readings to the right of the screen 0.21 show the frequency in (Hz or RPM) in/s and the RMS vibration level in (mm/s or inch/s) at the position of the cursor (red dotted line) The cursor position can be moved by use of the left (<) and right (>) arrow buttons. Pressing the square button successively increases the resolution of the frequency axis from 100 Lines (i.e. 10Hz or 600 RPM resolution) to 200, 400 and finally 800 Lines (i.e. 1.25Hz or 75 RPM resolution) as shown in the table below. Resolution (lines) Resolution (Hz) Resolution (RPM) 700 10 600 800 7.25 75 Increasing the resolution effectively zooms into the frequency spectrum display and at the higher resolutions the display must be scrolled by using the left and right arrow buttons in order to view the full spectrum.
