Speed measurement system
Possible causes
Remedy
No signal or
poor signal
amplitude
present
Assembly fault
The screw plug for the sensor is fitted with a gasket.
This gasket must be removed when the speed sensor is as-
sembled. If the gasket has been inadvertently fitted, the distance
of the sensor tip to the sealing disc giving the signal is increased.
This reduces the voltage amplitude of the speed signal which can
lead to problems with the evaluation electronics.
This problem will be remedied by removing the gasket.
Sensor defective
Contact ABB Turbocharging Service Station
Measured
speed too
high
Contamination of
the sensor tip
As the sensor tip is magnetic, it can attract material particles.
This reduces the distance to the auxiliary bearing, which can lead
to amplification of the noise component and therefore to false
triggering.
Dismantle the sensor, clean the sensor tip, and fit the sensor
back on with the specified tightening torque.

If none of the measures described above remedy the malfunc-
tion, it is recommended to have the speed measurement system
checked by an ABB Turbocharging Service Station.
