7-2 – Main Rotor Track & Balance
Chapter 7
Revision 3.00, Apr 2020
The first screen to complete is the “Main Rotor Setup” banner screen. As shown in the example
above, some fields in this screen have default values that appear automatically. You can use this
information if appropriate or input your own specific setup information using the keypad. (Refer
to Chapter 3, “Using the Gen II Analyzer” if you are unfamiliar with using the keypad.) Follow
the directions below to complete the “Main Rotor Setup” screen.
7.1.1.1.
In the “Name” field, enter a name for the setup using the keypad. The field will
accept up to 20 alphanumeric characters.
CAUTION
Sensors connected to Channel A, Channel B, (or Channel C and Channel D in the Viper II) must be
of the same type. Using different sensors during the same job will cause erroneous readings and
problems achieving good balance results.
NOTE
Sensor Channels C & D are only available on the Viper II
7.1.1.2.
Use the [
] key to move to the “Vertical Chan” (Channel) field. Use the [
] key to
“toggle” between the selections in this field, either “A”, “B”,” C”,” D”, “A+B”, or
“None” as allowed by the selections in the analyzer. The value selected for this field
determines which analyzer channel will be used to measure and display the vertical
vibration.
7.1.1.3.
Use the [
] key to move to the “Lateral Chan” field. Use the [
] key to “toggle”
between the selections in this field, either “A”, “B”, “C”, “D”, “A-B”, or “None” as
allowed by the selections in the analyzer. The value selected for this field determines
which analyzer channel will be used to measure and display the lateral vibration.
7.1.1.4.
Move to the “Sensor” field using the [
] key. Use the [
] key to toggle between the
options and select a sensor. If the sensor you are using does not appear as an optional
selection, you must input a new sensor setup into the analyzer’s memory. (See
Chapter 22 of the User Manual for instructions on how to perform this function.)
7.1.1.5.
Move to the “Tach Type” field by pressing the [
] key. The selection in the “Tach
Type” field identifies which tachometer sensor you are using as a once-per-revolution
source. For main rotors, this will most often be “Mag P/U.” Use the [
] key to make
the selection. The choices are “Mag P/U” and “Optical”.
NOTE
Tach Channels 3 & 4 are only available on the Viper II
7.1.1.6.
Press the [
] key to move to the “Tach Chan” field. Use the [
] key to select and
identify which analyzer tachometer input port you are using to acquire tachometer
data. Available channels are 1, 2, 3, or 4.
