Introduction
This document contains information on the operation, installation and
maintenance of the VPR100 Series Multi Channel Monitoring System. This
manual is an overview of the system and references the specific component
manuals. User manuals are provided with the system for all configurable internal
components.
Description
The PRO VPR100 Series system monitors a machine’s condition based on its
level of vibration. The system can be integrated into a circuit to shutdown a
machine when preset vibration levels are reached. The system detects high
vibration energy being sensed by the input accelerometers and actuates relays
based on alert and alarm set points. The system will indicate the instantaneous
vibration levels and relay status at each channel through the display meters. A 4-
20mA signal analogous to the percent of full scale vibration (based on the
internal transmitters) is provided as an output for external DCS interfacing. The
system also supplies outputs for Dynamic Vibration data (Waveforms)
transmitted by the accelerometers. The waveforms are obtained from the BNC
jacks inside the enclosure, or can be wired from screw terminals identified by
“Sensor Output”.
ViPR Model Selection
The VPR100 Series system has numerous options available to customize the
ViPR system to specific needs. Below is a guide to help select which VP Series
system fits your specific requirements. (Figure 1)
