3. MONITOR FUNCTIONS
VELOCITY - Velocity is the time rate of change of displacement. Velocity measurements
are obtained with a mechanically activated velocity transducer. They are used to
evaluate machine housing and other structural response characteristics. The Dual
Velocity Monitor accepts up to two velocity transducers and provides meter scale
indications of the velocity amplitude, recorder outputs proportional to the amplitude and
alarm functions.
When the monitor is optioned for peak velocity measurements,(peak-peak filter
plug-in board installed) it has the capability to do electronic integration of the velocity
signal. This integration yields a peak to peak measurement of displacement.
The monitor also has programmable filter capability. Filters may be set for high
pass, low pass or both. The filters are two pole high pass and two pole low pass for each
channel. This provides a roll off of 40 dB per decade.
OK - The OK function verifies that the field wiring from the monitor to the velocity
transducer is connected and is not shorted to signal common. The status of the velocity
transducer coil is not tested. Certain transducer fault conditions can cause the monitor
to read excessive velocity or zero velocity and still be OK, (see section 4). If the monitor
has been configured with the latching NOT-OK option, pressing the RESET switch on the
System Monitor front panel will reset a latched NOT-OK to OK.
TIMED OK/CHANNEL DEFEAT OPTION - Timed OK Channel Defeat minimizes faulty
transducer wiring from causing false alarms. This feature requires time delays of 3 or 6 seconds to prevent certain types of intermittent conditions from causing false alarms. If
the transducer wiring is faulty for a given channel, that channel's OK LED goes off, the
BYPASS LED goes on, the channel is disabled, and the OK relay de-energizes. If the
transducer wiring is restored for 30 seconds, the channel OK LED will start flashing at 1 Hz
to indicate that the channel was NOT-OK. The RESET switch on the front panel of the
System Monitor must be pressed to stop the OK LED from flashing (it remains on). 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 output and the
meter register zero. When the Timed OK/Channel Defeat is selected the OK Mode must
be non-latching.
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.
Application Alert
Catastropic failures on reciprocating machines can cause extremely high
vibration conditions. Under extreme conditions, the vibration can be so
large that it exceeds the transducers operating range and causes a
transducer Not OK condition. If this happens, and Timed OK/ Channel
Defeat is enabled, the monitor alert and danger alarms are immediately
bypassed resulting in loss of machine protection until the Timed
OK/Channel Defeat resets itself about 30 seconds after the event.
For applications that monitor reciprocating machines, it is recommended
that you disable the Timed OK/ Channel Defeat option.
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
for each channel to be displayed on the front panel meter. ALERT and DANGER LEDs
come on when the transducer signal level exceeds preset levels for the selected time
delay, and the appropriate Alert and Danger alarm relay contacts are activated. The
monitor alert relay is the OR of the two channel alerts. The monitor Danger relay has the
option to be AND or OR voting. AND voting will revert to OR voting if Timed OK/ Channel
Defeat option is selected and one channel goes NOT-OK. The monitor also has the option
for Quad Relays. This option provides individual Alert and Danger relays for each
channel.
FIRST OUT - The Alert and Danger alarms have separate First Out circuits. A monitor with
FirstOut option selected flashes a channel alarm LED if that channel was the first channel in
the rack to go into alarm since the last power up or reset. Pressing the RESET switch on
the System Monitor front panel or closing external Reset contacts located on the back of
the Power Input Module acknowledges and resets the First Out. If this option is used with
non-latching alarms, the first out will be reset when a non-latching alarm goes out of
alarm. This allows the next alarm to be recognized as first out. First out should normally
be used with latching alarms.
ALARM RELAYS - Monitor alarms can be configured for either latching or non-latching
modes. In the non-latching 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 System Monitor front panel or by closing the external
Reset contacts located on the back of the power input module. The alarm will not reset if
the alarm condition still exists.
4. OK
CAUTION
The OK check detects opens or shorts to signal
common in the transducer field wiring only.
Intermittent contacts, transducer coil faults, or
field wires shorted together may not be
detected. Under these conditions the monitor
may false ALARM or fail to ALARM. In critical
applications two transducers with AND relay
voting may be used.
NOTE: SINCE EACH CHANNEL IN THE SYSTEM CONTROLS THE OK RELAY, EITHER CHANNEL
CAN CAUSE A NOT OK RELAY CONDITION (DE-ENERGIZED RELAY).

NOTE:
although both columns on the bargraph flash, the error
