3300/25 Dual Accelerometer Monitor

Description
The Dual Accelerometer Monitor measures absolute machine housing or
structural vibration relative to free space (seismic), and provides two
independent channels of on-line machine vibration monitoring using zero-to-
peak signal conditioning and display capabilities. This Monitor provides over
10,000 high-pass and low-pass filter combinations. These filter combinations
can be easily changed in the field by using plug-in jumpers.

Specific recommendations:
• For virtually all machinery with fluid film bearings, the primary
measurement should be shaft relative vibration, using a probe and
Proximitor®.
• If particular machinery with fluid film bearings produce vibrations
which are (a) not adequately detected by shaft relative displacement
and (b) these vibrations are transmitted sufficiently to the bearing
housing, then accelerometer measurements can be used to
supplement shaft relative measurements.

Caution
If housing measurements are being made for overall protection of the
machine, thought should be given to the usefulness of the measurement for
each application. Most common machine malfunctions (imbalance,
misalignment, etc.) originate at the rotor and cause an increase (or at least a
change) in rotor vibration. In order for any housing measurement alone to be
effective for overall machine protection, a significant amount of rotor vibration
must be faithfully transmitted to the bearing housing or machine casing, or
more specifically, to the mounting location of the transducer.

In addition, care should be exercised in the physical installation of the

transducer. Improper installation can result in a decrease of the transducer
amplitude and frequency response and/or the generation of signals which do
not represent actual machine vibration.

Upon request, Bently Nevada can provide engineering services to determine

the appropriateness of housing measurements for the machine in question,
and/or to provide installation assistance.

Note: Many high-pass and low-pass filter combinations are incompatible. For optimum monitor
system performance, good engineering judgement must be used in conjunction with sound
knowledge of the actual dynamics of the machine and transducer characteristics in order to
select the proper filter options. For virtually all accelerometer applications, it is generally
recommended to use a low-pass filter in order to eliminate the effects of the transducer's
mounted resonance. A high-pass filter may be required to compensate for undesirable low
frequency noise. This is especially useful for integrated acceleration (velocity) channels. A
high-pass filter can reduce the effects of high gain at low frequencies caused by electronic
integration.

3300/25 Dual Accelerometer Monitor

Figure 1: For narrow band frequency measurement (monitoring), filter corner frequencies should be programmed (option jumpers
positioned) for values at least two octaves apart. The Response curve shown above represents: high-pass corner frequency 10,000
cpm (167 Hz) and Low-pass corner frequency 21,000 (350 Hz). Recommended is fLP greater than 4fHP (two octaves).

Figure 2: This graph shows the vibration frequency band-pass response for a monitor programmed (option jumpers positioned) as
follows: high-pass corner frequency 10,000 cpm (167 Hz), low-pass corner frequency 42,000 cpm (700 Hz). Note that the corner
frequencies are determined at the -3dB points (signal is attenuated by approximately 30%).
