Two Plane Balancing with a Reference Trigger
dataPAC User’s Guide
195
8.
The dataPAC automatically measures the speed, vibration, and phase in the first plane.
The values are constantly updated on the screen. Allow these values to stabilize before
continuing to the next step.
9.
Enable or disable averaging by pressing <F1> (Enable/Disable Averaging) during
measurement. This allows you to turn on or off vibration and phase averaging.
Averaging helps to stabilize the vibration and phase reading at the proper values by
averaging out the effect of noise. However, if values are slowly creeping to a higher or
lower value, averaging can be turned off to discard the previous values and read a true
value more quickly.
10. When the speed, vibration, and phase values are stable, press <STORE>. This
completes the plane 1 measurement and begins the plane 2 measurement.
11. The dataPAC automatically measures the speed, vibration, and phase in the second
plane. The values are constantly updated on the screen. Allow these values to stabilize
before continuing to the next step.
12. Press <STORE> to complete the measurement.
13. Shut down the machine and continue the balancing procedure in the next section. Leave
the plane 1 trial weight on the rotor.
Adding the Trial Weight and Taking a Measurement in Plane 2
1.
Press <F1> (Continue) to enter the plane 2 trial weight and continue the balancing
procedure.
2.
Use the Edit Trial Weight - Plane 2 window to enter the magnitude of the trial weight
you are about to attach to the rotor in the second plane. When your entry is complete,
press <DONE>. To cancel, press <SHIFT><F5> (Abort).
3.
Use the Enter Trial Weight Position - Plane 2 window to enter the location of the trial
weight you are about to attach to the rotor. When your entry is complete, press
<DONE>. To cancel, press <SHIFT><F5>.
If the machine has no vanes or blades, the trail weight location should be specified in
degrees (0 - 359). If you entered the number of vanes or blades earlier in the procedure,
the location is specified in positions (vanes or blades), from 1 to the total number of
vanes or blades.
