 Section 3 - MONITOR FUNCTIONS

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.

3300/55 Dual Velocity Monitor Operation Manual

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 transducer’s 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.

DANGER BYPASS - For maintenance functions, aDANGER BYPASS switchonthe monitor

circuit board behind the front panel can be set to inhibit the Danger Relay drive. This
function causes the BYPASS LEDs to be turned on. Other front panel functions are not
affected. This function must be enabled by installing a jumper within the monitor.

6
 Section 3 - MONITOR FUNCTIONS
BUFFERED OUTPUT - The Channels A and B coaxial cable connectors on the front panel of
the monitor and terminals on the Signal Input Relay Module provide buffered signals from
respective channel transducers. If integration is selected for a channel the outputs will be
the electronically integrated transducer signal. It is also possible to option the monitor
for filtered Buffered Transducer signals. These connectors can be used for connection
of external test equipment.
RECORDER OUTPUT - A recorder output is provided for each channel. Dependingonthe
option selected, the recorder output levels proportional to full scale, are: 0 to -10 Vdc,
+1 to+5 Vdc, or +4 to +20 mA.
SELF TEST - The monitor has three categories of Self Test: cyclic, power up, and user
invoked.
Power up self test is performed automatically each time the monitor power is
turned on. A series of basic tests and transducer OK test are performed.
Cyclic self tests are performed automatically while the monitor is operating. Errors
encountered during cyclic tests disable the monitor and flash a LCD bargraph
error code. If the error is intermittent, the monitor will resume operation, and the
error codes will be stored for retrieval during user invoked self tests. Stored error
codes are indicated by OK LEDs flashing at 5 Hz if the channel is OK.
User invoked test performs power up self test and allows error messages stored
during cyclic tests to be read and cleared. Stored errors are announced by flashing
the OK LEDs at 5 Hz and by displaying the error codes on the front panel LCD bar
graph.
TRIP MULTIPLY - The Trip multiply function multiplies setpoints by 2x or 3x based on a
terminal closure on the power input module. The front panel meter and recorder output
could saturate in this mode.

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).

8. READ CHANNEL VALUE

Monitor continuously indicates measured peak velocity, and/or peak-to-peak
displacement, or rms velocity. The front panel below is indicating in velocity inch/sec peak.
Note that the meter scale units must be compatible with the transducer input selected
(see option AA in section 2).

CAUTION
If the meter reads zero scale and the
OK LED is on while the monitored
machine is running then a transducer
fault may be indicated. Check the
transducer. (See section 4).

10. SELF TEST

The monitor has three levels of self tests:
Power up test: performed only when monitor is turned on.
Cyclic test: performed continuously.
User invoked test: performed only when initiated by user.

If errors are detected during cyclic self

tests:
• Monitoring is aborted until the
error is resolved.
• Error code is stored in memory
and flashed on the lcd bargraph
display.
• Bypass led goes on and ok led
flashes at 5 Hz.
• If error is intermittent and goes
away, monitoring is resumed
and ok led flashes at 5 Hz.
• Error code is stored. User
invoked test displays and clears
error.

If errors are detected during power up

test or user invoked self test:
• Monitoring is aborted until user
action resolves problem.
• Test can be rerun with monitor
power up or user invoked test.

14
 Section 10 - SELF TEST
Initiate user invoked test by shorting across
two self-test (st) pins.

CAUTION
Machine protection will be
lost for duration of test.

At the completion of the user invoked self

test the monitor will recall stored error codes,
if any. These error codes must be read and
cleared with user interaction to allow
monitoring to continue. Timed ok/channel
defeat, if enabled, is active approximately 30
seconds after this action.

NOTE:
although both columns on the bargraph flash, the error
code is only the sum of the bar graph segments
displayed in one column. Example shows error code 5.

Read codes on list; step through each error code on list

by pressing and holding alert switch for approximately
1 second.

At the end of the list, the lcd bargraph displays all

segments. To reread the list press the alert switch. To
clear the list from memory, press and hold the danger
switch for approximately 1 second.
