One Plane Balancing with a Reference Trigger

Adding the Correction Weight and Taking a Residual Measurement
1.
The dataPAC has calculated and now displays a recommended balancing weight
labeled “Correction” on the dataPAC display. Attach correction weight according to the
display. The “Position” column indicates where to attach the correction weight.
z
For rotors with zero positions the position is shown in degrees, in the direction of
rotation set in Weight Placement, from the 0° mark.
z
For rotors with multiple “positions” or vanes, the Position column indicates on which
positions the weights must be added. The 0° position is considered position 1, and the
other positions are numbered sequentially, in the direction of rotation.
Make sure you attach the weight the number of degrees or position, in the direction of
rotation set in Weight Placement, away from the reference mark.
Note:
Always view the direction of rotation from the same point.
With machines having multiple positions, the reference blade is 1. For 8 positions,
correction weights may be at positions 1, 2, 3,... 8. The dataPAC automatically splits
the required correction weights between two adjacent blades if you turn Vector
Splitting on by pressing <F1>.
2.
Start the machine and let it reach operating speed.
