    Industrial Vibration Monitoring With 9100D (DS 0096)

    Incorrect cabling for proximity probes can cause errors in dynamic output, resulting in vibration protection systems tripping alarms too early or late and potentially missing catastrophic failures. When gap voltage corrections are made to account for cabling errors, it compounds the problem by moving the probe out of its optimal measurement range. Using portable shakers that can simulate shaft motion helps ensure the validity of the entire vibration protection system by allowing easy calibration of proximity probes in the field against a steel target per industry standards. This helps avoid false trips and downtime while improving confidence in the protection of critical plant assets.

    Proximity Probe Calibration & Troubleshooting

    Prox Probe Cable Errors Produce Alarming Trend


    Problem 1: Leads to False or Late Alarm Trips
    Incorrect cable lengths and types create proximity probe system
    output errors. Alert and alarm levels in the vibration protection
    system rely on consistent dynamic output, often 200 mV/mil
    (7.87 mV/µm), from the non-contact displacement sensors. When
    incorrect cabling is used, dynamic output from the system is
    erroneously high or low depending upon the severity of the cabling
    error. As such, alert and alarm levels trip too early or late, causing
    false trips or catastrophic failure.

    Problem 2: Gap Voltage Corrections Magnify Cable Error


    Cabling errors cause incorrect gap voltage. This DC voltage
    measurement indicates the distance from probe tip to shaft.
    A cabling error makes it appear as if the prox probe is installed too
    close or too far away from the rotating shaft. When the position
    of the proximity probe is adjusted to correct gap voltage, the probe
    is inadvertently moved such that the shaft is no longer in the center
    of its measurement range. This compounds the dynamic error and
    further compromises the alert and alarm thresholds designed to
    protect assets such as gas and steam turbines.
    Incorrect cabling can trip alarms too early or late
    Solution: Simulate Shaft Motion With Portable Shaker
    Ensure the validity of the entire vibration protection channel by
    simulating shaft motion at actual running speeds using The Modal
    Shop’s Model 9100D or 9110D Portable Vibration Calibrators.
    These rugged and lightweight shakers run on battery power for all-day
    usage in the field. Proximity probes are easily mounted and calibrated
    against a 4140 steel target per the American Petroleum Institute (API) Model 9110D Portable Vibration Calibrator discovers a
    670 standard. Displacement, scaled in mils or microns (µm) peak proximity probe cabling error despite correct gap voltage
    to peak, is adjusted with the simple turn of a knob and is displayed
    along with frequency (in Hz or CPM) at all times. Accuracy is ensured
    via a NIST-traceable internal quartz reference accelerometer and ISO
    17025-accredited calibration certificate.

    Benefit:
    • Confidence that vibration monitoring systems relying upon
    proximity probes are protecting the plant’s critical assets
    • Efficiency is increased when the vibration, maintenance or
    operations teams are not chasing false trips
    • Decrease downtime by ensuring alert and alarm thresholds are
    properly programmed
    • Improved quality and peace of mind thanks to saved calibration
    records that are kept in-house
