Balancing Application Summary 1) Balancing Setup 2) Operation 3) Goto Screen 4) Review / Recall 5) Print Operation 6) Display Contrast 1) Balancing Setup Options * Number of planes [1/2], defaults to 1 * Num. Transducers [1] for single plane balancing, [1/2] for two plane balancing * Sensor Type [Accel G, Vel IPS, Vel mm/s2, Disp um, Disp mil, Keypress], default to Accel G * Display Units, options based on selected sensor type * Weight units [g/kg/oz/lb/EU - engineering units], defaults to EU * Length Units [mm/cm/m/inch/feet/EU], radius of the weight placement from the shaft center to the position of the weight * Movement [with rotation/against], default to against * Trigger Type [ext analog/ext TTL], defaults to ext TTL * Trigger Slope[+/-], defaults to + * Trigger Level [#volts], (only applicable for ext. analog) Acceptance Imb. Level, acceptable imbalance level you are trying to achieve * Filter [Off (none)/2Hz/10Hz], default 2Hz * Detection [Peak/RMS/P-to-P], defaults to Peak for accel and vel and Peak-to-peak for disp, * Number of averages, defaults to 4 * Solution [Influence Coeffs/Quasi-Static], defaults to Influence Coeffs. Only available for two plane balancing. * Plane 1/2 Sections: Plane 2 options vary depending on whether you are using one transducer or two. * Input Chan [CH1/CH2], default to CH1 * Coupling [ICP/AC], defaults to AC * Sensitivity [0.010-1000 mV/EU] , defaults to 100mV/EU * Input Range [Autorange/fixed range] * Type (Positions) [continuous/fixed], defaults to continuous. * Number of positions [3-360] defaults to 3. Only useful if fixed has been selected above (assumes phase reference is at position zero, and evenly distributed positions). * Position 1 offset [0-360] defaults to 0 2) Operation Balance Run Details * Initial Run plane n * Record RPM, mag, phase for plane n. Store results in Summary table * If 2 planes with 1 transducer, repeat this step for next plane * Trial Run Plane n * Prompt for trial weight in Plane n, using estimate or otherwise. Enter Mass, Angle and Radius of trial weight n. * Record trial run n with trial mass n attached, recording Mag and Phase in Each Plane. Enter results in Summary Table. * Ask if weight permanently attached?- needed for calculation of corrections. Store results in Weights table. * If 2 Planes with 1 transducer, then repeat Trial Run for next plane. * Correction Gives solution for all planes depending upon option chosen, each result (for plane n) can be split across two positions (differing radii and/or angle allowed), and corrections can be added or subtracted. * If 2 plane and solution method is quasi-static - correction weight for shaft is calculated. * Correction Masses are added (or removed). Weights entered in Weights Table * Final Run Record Final run with Correction masses attached, recording Mag and Phase in Each Plane. Add results to Summary Table * If not Acceptable Trim. * Mark results recorded in previous step as Trim. * Repeat from Correction Step onwards * When exiting Balance Option to save status from where test has advanced to. Can recall past jobs to complete or review data. 3) Goto Screen Press the Go to function button on any screen where it is avialable. This opens the Go to screen. Use the Up/Down Arrow keys to select where in the run you wish to skip to and press "Go to Pt"/Enter keys to enable skip. The user can only skip to the "items marked with a check" in the left hand box, all others shall be ignored on a "Go to Pt"/Enter key press. 4) Review and Recall User can select past balancing job to: Perform new job using prior settings. Continue testing from any point in summary using Goto View Summary table View Weights table 5) Print Operation The Balance Summary Screen and Weights Summary Screen can be saved as a Bitmap image on an SD card or the internal memory. The image may then be copied to a host PC and printed. This is achieved by pressing the "0 & 7" keys simultaneously. A dialog box shall appear: * F3 to save to SD card * F4 to save to internal memory 6) Display Contrast The contrast of the LCD display can be adjusted from any Screen by pressing the 0 key & the F3 Function key to Lighten the display contrast or the 0 key & the F4 Function key to Darken the display contrast
