Introduction to the SKF GX Series Microlog
What is the GX Series Microlog System?
The Microlog, with its preinstalled and licensed modules, performs all the tasks required
for machinery predictive maintenance. It automatically collects both dynamic (vibration)
and static (process) measurements from almost any source, it provides easy to use
setup screens for quickly capturing data related to specific applications, such as
balancing, etc., and it allows the user to configure up to twelve measurements for
automatic data collection at one sensor location.
A variety of input devices may be used with your Microlog. Vibration measurements are
collected with a handheld probe, magnetically mounted probe, permanently mounted
sensors, or from an installed monitoring system. Temperature measurements are
collected with a non contact infrared sensor or with a contact probe.
Refer to Appendix D of this manual for important restrictions when using the
CMXA 75-SL-Z2 Microlog in a Zone 2 restricted area.
Values read from other indicators may be entered into the Microlog by pressing the
appropriate alpha/numeric keys on the Microlog keypad. You can also ent
er your
observations as coded notes.
In addition to its function as a data collector, the Microlog has all the features and
performances of a powerful analyzer to capture and display high resolution spectra for
detailed analysis. A Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) frequency spectrum is available for
display on the color LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen.
LED Indicators
During data collection, the three LCD indicators, located above the display to the right,
sho
w the measurement’s status as data collection occurs. Data collection LCD display is
described below:
Amber only
– Data collection is occurring.
Green only
– Data collection is complete, measurement results are not in alarm.
Red and green
- Data collection is complete, measurement results are in alarm.
Blue
- A
blue
LED displays when the Microlog establishes communication with the SKF
@ptitude Analyst host software.
Red and Blue share the same
LED;
therefore, if the device is
charging when communications are established, a pink LED is
observed.
