current balancing run (Initial Run – also known as the reference run)
Again we see that the
Balancing Summary
screen initially appears empty, with only the
Initial Run (
IR
) item highlighted (as no balancing runs have yet been performed).
•
To proceed with the balancing job, with the
IR
run highlighted, press the
Goto
function button to go to the initial run data screen - or press an Enter / Fire button
(as prompted in the prompt area). The Initial Run screen displays.
•
At first, there is no data on the Initial Run screen. Take this opportunity to make
sure your sensors and tachometer device are set up correctly. To capture initial
run data, press the screen’s
Start
function button (or an Enter / Fire button). The
Microlog initiates the reference run measurements for RPM, magnitude, and phase.
The Initial Run screen displays measurement results.
