Section 1 - DUAL VIBRATION MONITOR SYSTEM

1. DUAL VIBRATION MONITOR SYSTEM

3300/15 Dual Vibration Monitor Operation Manual

2. MONITOR FUNCTIONS
RADIAL VIBRATION - Radial vibration is defined as shaft dynamic motion in a direction
perpendicular to the shaft centerline. The Dual Vibration Monitor displays vibration values
for two channels (Channels A and B).
PROBE GAP VOLTAGE - Probe gap is measured as a negative dc voltage that is directly
proportional to the gap distance between the face of a proximity probe and the surface being
monitored. Probe gap voltage for each channel is displayed on the front panel meter by pressing
the GAP switch.
OK - When the Proximitor output voltage is within its upper/lower OK voltage limits, the
transducer is defined as OK. The OK detection circuit controls the channel OK LED and the
monitor relay drive to the OK Relay.
OK RELAY - The OK Relay is located on the Power Input Module. Every channel in the rack must be
OK or bypassed to energize the OK Relay.
TIMED OK/CHANNEL DEFEAT - Timed OK/Channel Defeat minimizes the chance of false alarms
caused by faulty transducer wiring. If the probe input signal level on a given channel is not within
upper/lower limits, that channel OK LED goes off, the BYPASS LED goes on, the channel is disabled,
and the OK Relay deenergizes. Once the channel input signal level is restored within the
upper/lower OK limits for 30 seconds, the channel OK LED will start flashing at 1 Hz to indicate the
OK state is restored, the BYPASS LED goes off, and monitoring is enabled. The RESET switch on the
front panel of the System Monitor must be pressed to stop the OK LED from flashing (it will then
remain on steadily). If the channel remains in the NOT OK state, a Channel Bypass switch on the
monitor circuit board can be set to put the channel "out of service". The monitor can then be
operated as a single-channel monitor. Without this feature, the OK Relay could not be
reactivated. In the Timed OK/Channel Defeat and Channel Bypass modes, the recorder is clamped
to its minimum value and the meter registers zero.
ALARM - Pressing the ALERT or DANGER switch on the front panel of the monitor causes the
corresponding Alert (first-level alarm) or Danger (second-level alarm) alarm setpoints on both
channels to be displayed on the front panel meter. ALERT and DANGER LEDs light when the
vibration signal level exceeds preset levels for the selected time delay, and appropriate Alert and
Danger alarm relay contacts are activated. AND or OR voting logic options determine when the
Danger alarm relay contacts are activated.
FIRST OUT - Separate First Out circuits exist for Alert and Danger alarms. A monitor with the First
Out option selected flashes a channel alarm LED if that channel was the first channel in the rack
to go into alarm since the last reset or power up. Pressing the RESET switch acknowledges the
First Out condition. This allows the next channel in the rack that goes from non-alarm-to-alarm
condition to indicate First Out by flashing its alarm LED.
ALARM RELAYS - Monitor alarms can be programmed for either latching or non-latching mode.
In the nonlatching mode, the alarm resets automatically when the alarm no longer exists. In the
latching mode, the alarm condition must be reset manually by pressing the RESET switch on the
front panel of the System Monitor (or by closing external Reset contacts). The alarm will not reset
if the alarm condition still exists.

Section 2 - MONITOR FUNCTIONS

DANGER BYPASS - For maintenance functions, a Danger Bypass switch on the monitor circuit
board is set to inhibit the Danger relay drive. This function turns on the BYPASS LEDs. Other front
panel functions are not affected. This function can be enabled using a jumper within the monitor.
BUFFERED OUTPUT - The Channels A and B coaxial cable connectors on the front panel of the
monitor and terminals on the Signal Input Relay Module provide buffered signals from the
respective channel transducers. These connectors can be used for connection of external
equipment.
TRIP MULTIPLY - The Trip Multiply function multiplies set points by 2X or 3X in response to an
external contact closure through terminals on the Power Input Module. The front panel meter
and recorder outputs could saturate in this mode.
RECORDER OUTPUTS - Depending on the option selected, the recorder output levels proportional
to measured vibration are either 0 to -10 Vdc, +1 to +5 Vdc, or +4 to +20 mA.
SELF TEST - The monitor has three categories of self test: cyclic, power up, and user-invoked.

Power up self test is performed automatically each time the monitor power is turned on.
A series of basic tests and transducer OK tests are performed. Upon completion of the
tests, if no errors are present the monitor will perform Timed OK/Channel Defeat and
monitoring will resume in 30 seconds.

Cyclic self test is performed automatically during monitor operation. Errors encountered
during cyclic tests disable the monitor and flash a LCD bargraph error code. Should the
error be intermittent the monitor will return to operation, but the error codes are stored for
retrieval during user-invoked self test. Stored error codes are indicated by OK LEDs
flashing at 5 Hz provided that the channel is OK.

User-invoked self test performs power up self test and allows error messages stored
during cyclic tests to be read and cleared. Stored errors are annunciated by flashing the
OK LEDs at 5 Hz and displaying the error codes on the front panel LCD bargraph.

NOTE:

Verify that the transducer power supply level (-Vt) is appropriate for the transducer being
used. Both the Power Supply and the System Monitor must be programmed to supply the
correct voltage. The 3000 transducer requires a supply voltage of -18 Vdc, while the
3300 and 7200 transducers require -24 Vdc.

Section 14 - SELF TEST

14. SELF TEST

The monitor has three levels of self test:
Self Test

Performed

Power-up

When the monitor is turned on.

Cyclic

Continuous during monitoring operations.

User-invoked

When you initiate the self test by temporarily

shorting the self test pins.

When the monitor detects an error, it displays an error condition in

one of two ways depending on whether the error is active or stored.
An active error is an error that currently exists. A stored error
indicates that a storable error has occurred since the last time errors
were cleared but that this error is no longer active.
If the monitor detects an active error, the following events occur:

Monitoring stops until the problem is resolved.

The error code is stored in memory and flashes on the LCD

bargraph.

The BYPASS LEDs come on.

The OK LEDs flash at 5 Hz.

If the monitor no longer detects an active error and a stored error

exists, the following events occur:

Monitoring resumes

If the OK LED would otherwise be on, the OK LEDs flash at 5

Hz to indicate that an error code has been stored.

15

3300/15 Dual Vibration Monitor Operation Manual

Recall stored error codes by using the User-invoked self test. Use the following steps to run the
User-invoked self test, read error codes, and
clear stored

CAUTION
Machine protection provided by
this monitor will be lost for the
duration of the self test.
NOTE: User -invoked self test cannot be initiated if
any error is active. Refer to the Error Codes
section for more information on the error codes.
STEP 1 - Initiate the User-invoked self test by
shorting the two self test pins (ST) with a screwdriver.
All the LEDs and LCD elements will come on for 5
seconds.

If an active or stored error is present at the end of the self test, the
BYPASS LEDs remain on, the OK LEDs flash at 5 Hz, and the first error
code flashes at 2 Hz.
The error code is given by the number of flashing segments in one
column of the bargraph. For example, the monitor to the right is
indicating error code number 6.

16

Section 14 - SELF TEST

STEP 2 - Read any other stored error codes by pressing and holding the ALERT switch for approximately
one second.
For example, the display to the far right contains a
second stored error code - number 10.

When you reach the end of the error

list, the LCD bargraph comes on at full
range and the OK LEDs turn off.

contact your local Bently Nevada office for
service.

Tested cyclically. If it is a stored error, recall and

clear the error codes as described in the Self Test
section.

If it is an active error, replace the monitor with a

spare or contact your local Bently Nevada office
