The RPM you select in the tolerance table determines
how accurate the alignment must be and therefore
at what results values you will see the green LED
indicating a successful alignment.
The three LED lights on the display unit indicate
whether the couplings are within tolerance (green
light), within double tolerance (orange light), or out of
double tolerance (red).
Displayed foot values are for making corrections.
6. CORRECTING VERTICAL MISALIGNMENT
6.1 Correct the vertical alignment from the results screen.
6.2 Positive foot values: the movable is high, remove shims.
6.3 Negative foot values: the movable is low, add shims.
6.4 Leave the bolts loose after adjusting shims.
7. CORRECTING HORIZONTAL
MISALIGNMENT
7.1 Using the right arrow button move the black
highlight to the Shim icon.
7.2 Press the “OK” button to select.
The GO is now “live” and will display the values
in whatever orientation the sensors are pointing.
7.3 Press the down arrow to switch the view to horizontal
Rotate the sensors to the 3:00 position
3:00 is shown graphically on the screen, but
it will not be animated as the sensors rotate.
Remember, in the clock method the inclinometers
are turned off.
Care should be taken to square the “S” and “M”
sensors to one another if shafts are uncoupled.
7.5 Adjust the feet in the direction of the arrows.
The Angle & Offset values will change as the feet
are adjusted.
The LED will change from Red to Orange to
Green as the angular and offset values are
brought into tolerance.
Green LED indicated alignment in tolerance. It’s
not necessary to adjust the foot values to zero.
