Terms and Conditions
ENTEK IRD INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. CONTRACT. When Customer accepts a Quotation from Entek IRD International Corporation or
an affiliate (the entity issuing the quotation being "Entek IRD") by issuance of a purchase order
or otherwise and Entek IRD accepts the order, Customer is deemed to have agreed to all the
Terms and Conditions contained herein. Unless otherwise approved in writing, the acceptance
of Entek IRD is expressly conditioned upon Customer accepting these Terms and Conditions,
and any different or additional terms and conditions contained in Customer's order or related
documents are expressly objected to by Entek IRD and not binding upon it. Entek IRD
reserves the right to accept or reject all orders received by it and all orders may only be
accepted at the contracting office of Entek IRD located in Ohio. Entek IRD may accept in
writing, by commencement of performance or otherwise.
2. QUOTATIONS. All quotations expire automatically thirty days from date of quotation or earlier
by notice from Entek IRD. Unless otherwise noted in writing by Entek IRD, all prices are
F.O.B. the place of origin for domestic shipments and Ex Works (as defined in INCOTERMS
1990) for international shipments; and risk of loss in transit is on Customer. Prices do not
include any applicable taxes, however designated, levied or based upon the goods or services
being quoted. Customer agrees to pay all such taxes or provide acceptable evidence of
exemption therefrom.
3. TIMING. All delivery/shipping and service dates stated by Entek IRD are approximate dates
only and estimated in good faith to the best of Entek IRD's ability and are dependent upon
Entek IRD's prompt receipt of all necessary information from Customer. Time shall not be
deemed to be of the essence in Entek IRD's performance of this agreement, and no penalty
clause of any description in any specification or order will be effective unless specifically
approved in writing by an authorized officer of Entek IRD. In any event delivery/shipping and
service dates are always quoted subject to unavoidable delays due to causes beyond Entek
IRD's control including but not limited to strikes, casualty, war, acts of God, systems failure or
government action.
4. TERMS. Payment terms for domestic orders are net 10 days from date of invoice, unless
otherwise provided in the quotation. For international orders, Entek IRD reserves the right to
specify prepayment, letter of credit, or payment net 10 days from the date of invoice. Each
shipment shall be considered a separate and independent transaction and payment must be
made accordingly. If the financial condition or credit of Customer at any time in the judgment
of Entek IRD, does not warrant shipment of goods ordered, Entek IRD may at its option require
full payment prior to shipment or refuse to ship and terminate any order outstanding without
liability to Entek IRD. If any sum is not paid by Customer when due, Entek IRD shall not be
obligated to continue performance. If any amount is not paid when due, to the extent permitted
by law a late fee of 1% per month (or any part thereof) shall be charged on past due amounts
until paid.
5. CONFIDENTIALITY. If Customer data comes into Entek IRD's possession, Entek IRD shall use
the same level of care to maintain the confidentiality of that data which Entek IRD uses for its
own confidential information. Subject thereto, Entek IRD may use data in its possession to
compile and maintain commercial machinery information databases in which the origin of
specific data is not identifiable by users. Such databases shall be the sole property of Entek
IRD.
Enpac 1200 Balancing v

6. CANCELLATION. Once accepted by Entek IRD, an order is not subject to cancellation in

whole or in part by Customer without Entek IRD's prior written consent. Any such cancellation
shall be subject to a cancellation charge as determined by Entek IRD to cover any loss that may
be incurred by Entek IRD as a result of such cancellation, including without limitation a 25%
restocking charge for standard products.
7. CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES. Customer shall be solely responsible for the accuracy and
adequacy of the information provided to Entek IRD, and Entek IRD shall not be liable for any
damages resulting from the loss, disclosure or inaccuracy of such information. Customer shall,
for those contracts which include on-site installation, have the installation site prepared at its
expense prior to the scheduled installation date to enable Entek IRD to promptly deliver and
commence installation. The products are not for use in or with any nuclear facility, unless the
Quotation expressly permits such use; and Customer shall indemnify and hold Entek IRD
harmless from all liability (including such liability resulting from Entek IRD's negligence)
arising out of such improper use. Customer shall not send or use the products outside the
United States except in compliance with all applicable law, including U.S. export regulations
and restrictions.
8. SOFTWARE AND SERVICES DOCUMENTS. If any computer software, whether incorporated
into a piece of equipment ("firmware"),or provided separately, and related user documentation
in any medium (collectively referred to as "Software") are included in the contract, the terms of
the Entek IRD Standard Software License Agreement shall govern the contract with respect to
Software. If any services other than oil analysis services are included in the contract, the Entek
IRD Standard Field Engineering Services Terms and Conditions shall govern such services.
Those documents are available to Customer upon request, and Customer is responsible to
obtain and read the Standard Software License Agreement and the Standard Field Engineering
Services Terms and Conditions.
9. LIMITED WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES. A. Entek IRD warrants to Customer (and not
anyone else) that (i) all products manufactured by Entek IRD shall be free of defects in
materials and workmanship under normal conditions for a period of one (1) year from the date
of shipment (except that items with limited life such as batteries and lamps are warranted for 90
days from date of shipment) and that (ii) services will be free from defects in workmanship
under normal conditions, for 90 days from performance. With respect to performance related in
any way to the passage of time to the year 2000 and beyond, or the occurrence of a leap year,
Entek IRD does not make any representation or warranty; Entek IRD has issued a Year 2000
readiness disclosure statement, which is available to Customer upon request.
B. With respect to any Entek IRD product or service that fails to satisfy the limited warranty
provisions in this Section, as Customer's exclusive remedy, and at Entek IRD's option, Entek
IRD will repair or replace the product or refund its purchase price or refund the purchase price
of the service, provided that any defect is brought to the attention of Entek IRD within the
warranty period. To qualify for this warranty concerning a product Customer must return the
defective product to Entek IRD's designated facility freight prepaid, and after repair or
replacement Entek IRD will return the product freight prepaid; or, if in Entek IRD's opinion the
product is impractical to ship, Customer shall be charged for labor, transportation and
subsistence expenses for the service representative(s) providing the warranty work at
Customer's site. Entek IRD alone will be authorized to furnish or arrange for repairs or
replacements.
vi Enpac 1200 Balancing

C. The above limited warranties do not apply, and no warranty, either express or implied, shall
be applicable, (a) to damage resulting from accident, alteration, misuse or abuse, harmful
conditions, systems failure or Act of God; (b) if the product is not installed, operated and
maintained according to procedures recommended by Entek IRD; or (c) if the Entek IRD serial

components, or services furnished by third parties or to the repair or installation of the product
performed by third parties. The above warranties do not extend to any products sold "as-is" or
"as-inspected;" no warranties, either express or implied, are made with respect to such
products.
D. Entek IRD makes no representations or warranties to Customer, or anyone else, with respect
to products manufactured by a third party. Any warranties of the third party manufacturers shall
run directly to Customer to the extent permitted by law and Entek IRD shall have no liability
therefor.
E. The limited warranties in this Section constitute Entek IRD's entire warranty as to the
products and services provided hereunder. ENTEK IRD HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING CONFORMITY TO ANY
REPRESENTATION OR DESCRIPTION AND INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSES
WHATSOEVER.
10. EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AND LIABILITY LIMITATION. THE REMEDIES PROVIDED
HEREIN ARE CUSTOMER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES, AND ENTEK IRD'S
EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING
NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY. CUSTOMER
AGREES THAT NO OTHER REMEDY (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, LOST SALES, LOST
PRODUCTION, OVERHEAD, LABOR, INJURY TO PERSON OR PROPERTY, OR ANY
OTHER INCIDENTAL LOSS) SHALL BE AVAILABLE TO CUSTOMER. THIS
ALLOCATION OF RISK IS REFLECTED IN THE PRICES OF THE PRODUCTS AND
SERVICES. ENTEK IRD'S MAXIMUM LIABILITY HEREUNDER ARISING FROM ANY
CAUSE WHATSOEVER SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES IN QUESTION. Any suit related to this Agreement, on any
legal theory, must be commenced within one year after the cause of action accrues.

is affixed to Customer's real property and Entek IRD reserves a purchase money security
interest in the product until the purchase price has been fully paid. Customer agrees to execute,
and hereby appoints Entek IRD as its attorney-in-fact to execute on Customer's behalf, any
documents requested by Entek IRD which are necessary for attachment and perfection of its
security interest. If Customer defaults, Entek IRD shall have all the rights of a secured creditor
under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in Ohio.
Enpac 1200 Balancing vii

12. OTHER TERMS. These terms and conditions and any issue, claim or dispute arising hereunder
shall be interpreted under and governed in all respects by the internal laws of the State of Ohio,
and not by the 1980 U.N. Convention on the International Sale of Goods. These terms and
conditions and the written quotation to which they relate constitute the entire contract between
the parties, and supersede all other oral or written statements of any kind whatsoever made by
the parties or their representatives. Waiver by Entek IRD of strict compliance with any one or
more of these Terms and Conditions is not to be considered a continuing waiver or a waiver of
any other term or condition. No statement purporting to modify any of these terms or
conditions shall be binding unless expressly agreed to in writing signed by an officer of Entek
IRD and by Customer.

care to maintain the confidentiality of that data which Entek IRD uses for its own confidential
information. Subject thereto, Entek IRD may use data in its possession to compile and maintain
commercial machinery information databases in which the origin of specific data is not
identifiable by users. Such databases shall be the sole property of Entek IRD.
2. LIMITED WARRANTIES.
A. Entek IRD warrants to Customer (and not anyone else) that all Entek IRD Software
supplied by Entek IRD shall perform in substantial conformance with the specifications

provisions in this Agreement, as Customer's exclusive remedy, and at Entek IRD's option,
Entek IRD agrees to repair or replace such defective item without charge, or Entek IRD's sales
price therefor shall be refunded upon return of the defective product to Entek IRD, provided

C. The above limited warranties do not apply, and no warranty, either express or implied, shall
be applicable, (a) to damage resulting from accident, alteration, misuse or abuse, harmful
conditions or Act of God; (b) if the product is not installed, operated and maintained according
to procedures recommended by Entek IRD; or (c) if any modifications whatsoever to the
Software are made by anyone except Entek IRD. In no case shall the limited warranty extend
to defects in materials, components, or services furnished by third parties or to the repair or
installation of the product performed by third parties.
D. The limited warranties in this Section constitute Entek IRD's entire warranty as to the
Software provided hereunder. ENTEK IRD AND EACH LICENSOR OF ENTEK IRD
HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING CONFORMITY TO ANY REPRESENTATION OR DESCRIPTION AND
INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR
ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSES WHATSOEVER.
3. PATENT AND COPYRIGHT INDEMNITY. Entek IRD will at its expense, defend Customer
against any claim that any Entek IRD Software furnished under this Agreement infringes a
United States patent or copyright. Entek IRD will pay all costs, damages and attorney's fees
that a court finally awards as a result of such claim. To qualify for such defense and payment,
Customer must 1) give Entek IRD prompt written notice of any such claim, and 2) allow Entek
IRD to control, and fully cooperate with Entek IRD in, the defense and all related settlement
negotiations.
Customer agrees that if the operation of the Entek IRD Software becomes, or Entek IRD
believes is likely to become, the subject of such a claim, Customer will permit Entek IRD at its
option and expense, either to secure the right for Customer to continue using the Entek IRD
Software or to replace or modify it so that it becomes non-infringing. However, if neither of
the foregoing alternatives is available on terms which are reasonable in Entek IRD's judgment,
Customer will return the Entek IRD Software upon Entek IRD's written request. Entek IRD
will grant Customer a credit for any Entek IRD Software whose total charges are fully paid, as
Customer's sole remedy and Entek IRD shall have no other liabilities therefor.
Entek IRD shall have no obligation with respect to any such claim based upon Customer
modification of any Software or its combination, operation or use with apparatus, data or
programs not furnished by Entek IRD or in other than the specified operating environment.
This Section states Entek IRD's entire obligation to Customer regarding infringement or the
like.
4. EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES AND LIABILITY LIMITATION. THE REMEDIES PROVIDED
HEREIN ARE CUSTOMER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES, AND ENTEK IRD'S
EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING
NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY. CUSTOMER
AGREES THAT NO OTHER REMEDY (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST SALES,
LOST PRODUCTION, OVERHEAD, LABOR, INJURY TO PERSON OR PROPERTY, OR
ANY OTHER INCIDENTAL LOSS) SHALL BE AVAILABLE TO CUSTOMER. THIS
ALLOCATION OF RISK IS REFLECTED IN THE PRICE OF THE SOFTWARE. ENTEK
IRD'S MAXIMUM LIABILITY HEREUNDER ARISING FROM ANY CAUSE
WHATSOEVER SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE SOFTWARE
IN QUESTION. Any suit related to this Agreement, on any legal theory, must be commenced
within one year after the cause of action accrues.
Enpac 1200 Balancing xi

5. SOFTWARE LICENSE TERM. The Software license granted hereunder shall be effective until
terminated. Customer may terminate the license at any time by returning to Entek IRD the
Software and related documentation together with all copies, modifications, and merged
portions in any form. Entek IRD may terminate this license if Customer breaches any term of
this license. This license will terminate automatically when Customer ceases to use the
Software, except for temporary periods not exceeding one year. When the license terminates no
refund shall be made by Entek IRD, and Customer shall at its expense return to Entek IRD the
Software and all related keys and documentation together with all copies, modifications, and
merged portions in any form. Upon termination Customer must discontinue use and destroy or
return to Entek IRD all copies of the Software and all documentation.

Customer's compliance with this Agreement. This Agreement, any written quotation to which it
relates and the General Terms and Conditions of Entek IRD constitute the entire contract
between the parties with respect to the Software, and supersede all other oral or written
statements of any kind whatsoever made by the parties or their representatives. No statement
purporting to modify any of these terms or conditions shall be binding unless expressly agreed
to in writing signed by an officer of Entek IRD and by Customer. These terms and conditions
and any issue, claim or dispute arising hereunder shall be interpreted under and governed in all
respects by the internal laws of the State of Ohio, and the state and federal courts of Clermont
County, Ohio shall have exclusive jurisdiction and venue over all disputes related to this
Agreement or relationship. Waiver by Entek IRD of strict compliance with any one or more of
these Terms and Conditions is not to be considered a continuing waiver or a waiver of any other
term or condition.

Chapter 1 - Balancing Measurements
Introduction to Enpac Balancing Program

The Enpac 1200 Balancing program provides a simple, direct method to balance your
rotating machinery in one or two planes. You may use the internal laser tachometer in the
Enpac or an external laser tachometer, optical tachometer, or strobescope for measuring
phase during the balance run.
The Balancing program is an add-on application to the Enpac 1200 and must be installed
with the Balancing PCMCIA card from Entek, Part Number 46186. Note that the
Balancing program is not supported in Enpac operating system versions prior to 2.22.
Note: The data you collect while balancing cannot be unloaded to your host software program,
such as EMONITOR Odyssey® or Enshare™.
Using the Manual

This manual covers all the tasks associated with balancing using the Enpac. It includes
setting up the balancing parameters as well as the procedures for balancing a machine.
This manual assumes you have a basic understanding of how to operate the Enpac. If you
are new to the Enpac, you are encourage to read the Enpac 1200A Data Collector User’s

Overview of Balancing Measurements

Balancing is the technique for determining the amount and location of the heavy spot on a
rotating shaft so that you can balance it with an equal amount of weight in the opposite
direction. These methods go through the technique, with stopping points where you start
and stop the machine to perform weight addition or subtraction.
There are three types of measurements in the balancing process:
z The initial vibration measurement is taken without any added weights on the
machine. The initial vibration measurement establishes a reference of how the
machine vibrates at each plane without any extra weight added. This vibration is what
will be corrected by the correction weight.
z The trial weight measurements are taken with a single trial weight attached to the
machine at one plane or the other. The trial weight measurements are used to
determine how the machine is affected by the added weight. The ideal trial weight
should produce either a 30 percent change in amplitude or a 30 degree change in
phase.
z The residual measurements are taken with the correction weight or the correction
weight and trim weights attached to the machine. The correction weight should cancel
out the initial unbalance. A residual vibration measurement is taken to measure the
remaining unbalance. Trim weights are added to the machine to cancel out the
vibration measured during a residual measurement.
It is left to you to decide when the machine is sufficiently balanced.

Setting Up the Balancing Parameters

This section describes how to set up the balancing parameters for the Enpac. There are two
screens for setting up the balancing parameters: the Balance Setup screen and the Advance
Setup screen. Both screens are described in this section.
Balance Setup Screen

The Balance Setup screen appears when you choose Balancing from the Program
Manager window.
Use the <UP> and <DOWN> arrow keys to move through the Balance Setup screen. Press
the <RIGHT> arrow key to open a menu of choices. Select the choice with the arrow keys
or type in the value using the numeric key pad, then press the <LEFT> arrow key to save
the selection.
Note: For the Enpac 1200B, you can touch the text to the right of the option to open the menu of
choices. Touch the desired choice or type in the value using the numeric key pad, then
touch the next option to save the selection.
When you are finished, press the Advance button to configure the advanced balancing
options.

No. of Planes
This option determines whether single-plane or two-plane balancing is required, a good
rule-of-thumb is the rotor’s width-to-diameter (W/D) ratio. The W/D ratio is the width
(excluding shaft length) of the combine rotors divided by their diameter. The following
chart can be used to help determine whether to use one- or two-plane balancing.

Vib Measm’t (Vibration Measurement)Type

This option selects the vibration measurement type. The default is Acceleration.
Rotation
This option selects the rotation of the rotor, clockwise or counterclockwise.
Weight Units
This option selects the units used in balancing.
Length Units
This option selects the units used in measuring the distance between the shaft and the
weight.
Movement
You place weights on the rotor to balance the machine. The position of this weight is
given in degrees or positions (where the total number of positions equals the number of
blades or vanes) from the reference notch or mark. You must select whether you are
measuring the angle with or against the direction of the shaft rotation.
The Movement option affects how angles are measured. If Movement is set to With
Rotn, angles are measured from the reference mark, in the direction of the machine’s
normal rotation.
If Movement is set to Against Rotn, angles are measured from the reference mark, in the
opposite direction of the machine’s normal rotation.

Trigger Type
This option selects the trigger source.
z Laser Tach – Enables the internal Laser Tachometer.
z ext Analog – An external analog trigger will be used to trigger data sampling. You
must also set the slope and trigger level.
z ext TTL – The signature acquisition process begins when a TTL trigger is applied. A
TTL trigger in the range 2.5V - 5V will begin signature acquisition. You must also
select the slope.
Note: If you set Trigger Type to Laser Tach, you do not need to set the slope or trigger level.
Ext trig (External trigger) slope

This option selects the slope for externally triggering the measurement. Slope is the
direction in which the signal is moving, and is either positive (rising) or negative (falling)
before a trigger is detected. This option is only applicable if you set Trigger Type to ext
Analog or ext TTL.
Trigger Level
Enter the amplitude level for externally triggering the measurement. This option is only
applicable if you set Trigger Type to ext Analog.

useful in removing high vibration, low frequency signal components, which can dominate
the signal. Choose Off if you do not want to use a filter. The default is 2 Hz.
Detection
This option selects the type of signal detection for the measurement.
z Peak – The Enpac measures the dynamic signal from zero to peak voltage. Use this or
the RMS setting for most acceleration and velocity measurements.
z Pk-Pk – The Enpac measures the dynamic signal from the minimum peak to the
maximum peak. Use this setting for most displacement measurements.
z RMS – The Enpac measures the dynamic signal as the square root of the mean of the
square. Use this or Peak for most acceleration and velocity measurements. Also use
this for voltage measurements.
No. Averages
Enter the number of averages (1 – 8) for the measurement. The default is 4.
Solution
If you are two-plane balancing, you can select the balancing solution.
z Dynamic – The correction weights will be calculated for both planes 1 and 2.
z Static-Couple – The correction weights will be calculated as a combination of Static
and Couple. The Couple balance weights will be presented as the same weight in both
planes 1 and 2, with a phase angle of 180 degrees difference. The Static part of the
solution will be calculated at the center between planes 1 and 2.

continuous.
No. of posns (number of positions)
Enter the number of positions (3 - 360) if Type is set to Fixed. The number of
positions refers to the number of rotor components, such as blades on a fan. Enter 0
(zero) for a rotor without vanes or blades.
Postion (Position) 1 Offset
Enter the position 1 offset (0 - 360), if necessary. Note this is only applicable if Type
is set to Fixed.
One Plane Balancing

This section describes the procedure for balancing a machine in one plane. The entire
procedure is divided into taking three measurements: the initial measurement, the trial
weight measurement, and the residual measurement. You must complete the entire
procedure until the vibration level has been reduced enough for your needs.

One Plane Balancing
Taking the Initial Vibration Measurement

1. If you are using an external tachometer, optical tachometer, or strobescope as the
trigger source, then connect the tachometer cable (Entek P/N 45131) to the Power/
Trig connector at the top of the Enpac.
Note: Skip this step if you are using the internal Laser Tachometer as the trigger source.
2. Attach a transducer to a bearing house.
3. Mark the rotor by making a mark on one rotor that will serve as a reference mark. It is
also possible to use an existing mark on the rotor as the reference mark, such as a key
or keyway.
Note: If the rotor has multiple positions (vanes or fan blades), the reference mark must be at
one of the blade positions.
4. Start the machine and allow it to reach normal running speed.
5. Press <READ/OK> to take an initial vibration measurement. Note that the Enpac may
ask if the transducer is attached to plane 1. If the transducer is attached, press the OK
