1. General Information
Acceleration measurements are generally made with an Accelerometer. You typically use these
measurements to evaluate the high frequency vibration of a machine casing or bearing housing
that is due to blade passage, gear mesh, cavitation, rolling element bearing defects, and other
conditions. For harmonic motion, acceleration is often expressed as g or a. Typical units for accel-
eration are feet per second per second peak (ft/s2 pk), meters per second per second peak (m/s2
pk), or more commonly g pk (acceleration of gravity = 386.1 in/s2 pk = 32.17 ft/s2 pk = 9.81 m/s2 pk).
Note
Acceleration, as well as velocity, are zero-to-peak (pk) measurements.
You program Acceleration channels in pairs. These channels, depending on configuration, typ-
ically condition the input signals into various parameters called "œstatic values" . You can con-
figure Alert setpoints for each active static value and Danger setpoints for any 2 of the active
static values.
Advisory
If you plan to use housing measurements for overall machine protection, you should consider the usefulness of
the measurement for each application. Most common machine malfunctions (imbalance, misalignment, etc.) orig-
inate at the rotor and increase (or at least change) rotor vibration. For any housing measurement alone to be
effective for overall machine protection, the system must faithfully transmit a significant amount of rotor vibra-
tion to the bearing housing or machine casing, or more specifically, to the mounting location of the transducer.
In addition, you should exercise care in the physical installation of the transducer. Improper installation can
decrease the transducer amplitude and frequency response and/or generate signals which do not represent
actual machine vibration.
Upon request, Bently Nevada, Inc can provide engineering services to determine whether housing meas-
urements are appropriate for the machine in question and/or to provide installation assistance.
There are 2 different channel types, Acceleration and Acceleration 2, which support the meas-
urement of acceleration. The Acceleration channel type supports only the Direct measurement
and works with the 3500/42 and 3500/42M. The Acceleration 2 channel type, which is an
enhanced version of the Acceleration channel type, supports Direct, 1X Amplitude 1X Phase, 2X
Amplitude, and 2X Phase. The Acceleration 2 channel type is available on 3500/42E monitors and
on 3500/42M monitors with revision 2.1 or higher firmware. The Acceleration 2 channel type
requires version 3.2 of the 3500 System Configuration software.
Advisory
When upgrading from an Acceleration to an Acceleration 2 channel type you must take care with any DCS or PLC
programming that uses data from the Communications Gateway. The order and the number of values differ for
the Acceleration and Acceleration 2 static data and alarm status data. This may require you to change your DCS
or PLC programming. If this is undesirable you should use the Acceleration channel type.
1
Alert
A sudden mechanical impact can over-range velocity, acceleration, or Velomitor* sensors. If you enable Timed
OK Channel Defeat on the monitor and the over-range signal exceeds the OK limits, the monitor may not annun-
ciate an alarm. This may result in a missed alarm and temporary loss of machine protection. You can disable
Timed OK Channel Defeat on velocity and acceleration channel types.
Alert
Mechanical impacts will occur on reciprocating compressors. Disable Timed OK Channel Defeat when using veloc-
ity, acceleration, or Velomitor sensors to monitor crankcase or crosshead vibration.
Advisory
We do not recommend 3500/42M or 3500/42E monitors for acceleration measurements on reciprocating com-
pressors. Consider using the Bently Nevada* 3500/70M monitor for acceleration measurements on reciprocating
compressors.

2.1.1.3 I/O Module Attached - Jumper Position
This option returns the position of the transducer jumper on the I/O Module in 3500 systems.
Note
In the 3500 ENCORE systems, the jumper is located on the monitor.
2.1.1.4 Take Input From Channel 1 (3) Transducer

This causes the even numbered channel to make its transducer input identical to the odd num-
bered channel that makes up the channel pair. This will also set items that a change in transducer
would affect, such as Barriers.
2.1.2 Barriers
Barriers are devices that restrict the amount of energy that can flow into a hazardous area. Select
the MTL 796(-) Zener External option or Galvanic Isolators if you will connect external safety bar-
riers between the monitor and the transducer. If your application uses an internal barrier I/O mod-
ule, select the internal option.
2.1.3 Corner Frequencies

If you do not select a filter, then the software will configure the corner frequencies as follows:
l If you disable integration, software will configure the monitor with a 3 Hz High-pass Filter
(HPF) and a 30 kHz Low-pass Filter (LPF).
8
l If you enable integration, software will configure the monitor with a 10 Hz HPF and a 20 kHz
LPF.
2.1.4 High-Pass Filter

The High-pass Filter is a 4-pole filter that you must set at least 2 octaves away from the Low-pass
Filter.
HPF = High-pass Filter; LPF = Low-pass Filter
HPF <= (LPF / 4)
2.1.5 Low-Pass Filter

The Low-pass Filter is a 4-pole filter that you must be set at least 2 octaves away from the High-
pass Filter.
LPF >= (HPF x 4)
When you select band-pass filtering, you must set the high-pass and low-pass filters at least 2
octaves apart.

2.2.1 Enable
The following items are found within the Enable group on the dialog.
2.2.1.1 Enable Check Boxes
Click the checkbox next to the static value to specify that the channel will provide that value.
2.2.1.2 Direct
Direct data represents the overall peak-to-peak vibration. This static value includes all frequen-
cies within the selected Direct Frequency Response.
2.2.1.3 Bias Voltage
Bias voltage is the dc voltage that the system uses as a bias for the transducer. You can use this
value as a diagnostic tool for evaluating system integrity.
This measurement contains no information about the condition of the machinery being mon-
itored. It has been provided only for monitoring system diagnostics.
2.2.1.4 1X Ampl
In a complex vibration signal, 1X Ampl is the notation for the amplitude component that occurs at
the rotative speed frequency.
2.2.1.5 1X Phase Lag
In a complex vibration signal, 1X Phase Lag is the notation for the phase lag component that
occurs at the rotative speed frequency.
2.2.1.6 2X Ampl
In a complex vibration signal, 2X Ampl is the notation for the amplitude component having a
frequency equal to twice the shaft rotative speed.
2.2.1.7 2X Phase Lag

In a complex vibration signal, 2X Phase Lag is the notation for the phase lag component having a
frequency equal to twice the shaft rotative speed. 2X phase lag is the angular measurement from
the leading or trailing edge of the Keyphasor* pulse to the following positive peak of the 2X vibra-
tion signal.
2.2.1.8 Full-Scale Range
This section details the available full-scale ranges for the different acceleration types.

Note
Whenever you modify a full-scale range, you should readjust the setpoints that are associated with this static
value.

2.2.1.9 Clamp Value

The value sent to the recorders and Modbus when the monitor receives invalid input. Invalid input
can be caused by:
l Channel Not OK status
l Monitor Not Ok status
The clamp value is not shown on the monitor display or in the 3500 Rack Configuration software.
l 3500 Systems:
The monitor clamps only the Recorder Outputs and the values provided through the Com-
munication Gateway and Display Interface Module when the static value is invalid.
l 3500 ENCORE Systems:
The monitor clamps only the Recorder Outputs and the values provided over Modbus
when the static value is invalid.
2.2.1.10 RMS
When you select RMS, the monitor will measure all of the direct, 1X amplitude, and 2X amplitude
values for the channel as RMS.
2.2.1.11 Integrate
Integration applies to all values, except bias voltage and phase,which the monitor returns. When
you select integration, the available Full-scale ranges will change to reflect this. This will also limit
the frequency support to 20kHz.
2.2.2 Delay
Delay is the time for which a static value must remain at or above an over alarm level, or below an
under alarm level, before the monitor declares an alarm as active.
2.2.2.1 Alert Delay
You can set the Alert time delay in 1 second increments (from 1 to 60 seconds) for all available
static values. Alert is the first level alarm that occurs when the transducer signal level exceeds the
selected Alert/Alarm 1 setpoint. You can set this setpoint on the Setpoint screen.
2.2.2.2 Danger Delay
You can set the Danger Time Delay at 500 millisecond increments from 1 to 60 seconds. Danger is
the second level alarm that occurs when the transducer signal level exceeds the selected
Danger/Alarm 2 setpoint. You can set this setpoint on the Setpoint screen.
2.2.2.3 100 ms Option
The 100 ms (typical) option applies only to the Danger time delay and has the following effects:
14
If the 100 ms option is OFF:

l You can set the Danger time delay in 1-second increments (from 1 to 60 seconds).
l You can set the Danger time delay for up to 2 available static values.
If the 100 ms option is ON:
l The software sets the Danger time delay to 100 ms.
l You can set the Danger time delay for only the primary static value.
2.2.3 Alarm Mode

The options for Alarm Mode are Latching and Non-latching. You can set the Alarm Mode option
for both the Alert and Danger alarms.
2.2.3.1 Latching
Once a latching alarm is active, it will remain active even after the static value drops below the
configured setpoint level. The channel will remain in alarm until you use one of the following meth-
ods to reset it:
l Pressing the RESET button on the System Monitor
l Closing the contact on the Power Input Module (PIM)
l Clicking the Reset button in the Operator Display software1
l Issuing a reset command over Modbus
l Issuing the rest command through the Communication Gateway or Display Interface Mod-
ule1
l Issuing a reset command in the 3500 Rack Configuration Software
1 3500 Systems Only
2.2.3.2 Non-latching
When a non-latching alarm is active, it changes to inactive as soon as the static value drops
below the configured setpoint level.
2.2.3.3 Timed OK Channel Defeat
Timed OK Channel Defeat is an option that prevents a channel from returning to an OK status
until that channel's transducer has remained in an OK state for the specified period of time. If you
enable the option, the software sets the time to 30 seconds. This option prevents false trips that
intermittent transducers can cause.
Alert
A sudden mechanical impact can over-range velocity, acceleration, or Velomitor* sensors. If you enable Timed OK
15
Alert
Channel Defeat on the monitor and the over-range signal exceeds the OK limits, the monitor may not annunciate
an alarm. This may result in a missed alarm and temporary loss of machine protection. You can disable Timed OK
Channel Defeat on velocity and acceleration channel types.
2.2.3.4 Monitor Danger Relay Voting

This option allows you to add logic processing to channel alarming.
l OR - if either channel of a channel pair is in danger alarm, the danger alarm relay is acti-
vated.
l AND - if both channels of a channel pair are in danger alarm, the danger alarm relay is acti-
vated.
Relay Voting is available when the Dual Relay option is selected.
2.2.4 OK Mode
Latching
If you configure a channel for Latching OK, then once the channel has gone Not OK the status
will stay Not OK until you use one of the following methods to issue a reset:
l Pressing the reset switch on the front of the System Module
l Issuing the reset command over Modbus
l Issuing the reset command through the 3500 Display Interface Module
l Issuing the reset command in the 3500 Rack Configuration Software
Non-latching
If you configure a channel for Non-latching OK, the OK status of that channel will track the
defined OK status of the transducer.
2.2.5 Trip Multiply

The Trip Multiply value temporarily increases the alarm (Alert and Danger) setpoint values. Manual
(operator) action normally applies this value during startup to allow a machine to pass through
high vibration speed ranges without triggering monitor alarm indications. High vibration speed
ranges may include system resonances and other normal transient vibrations. The multiplier is
configurable from 1X to 3X in 0.25X increments. The Trip Multiply state of the rack can be toggled
by the following methods:
l Closing the Trip Multiply contact on the System Monitor or Power Input Module (3500
ENCORE Systems)
16
l Issuing the Trip Multiply command over an industrial protocol (example: Modbus)
l Issuing the Trip Multiply command in the 3500 Rack Configuration Software
2.2.6 Recorder Output

Use the list to select the static value of the channel that the monitor sends to the 4 to 20 mA
recorder. The current at the recorder output is proportional to the measured value over the chan-
nel full-scale range. An increase in the static value increases the current at the recorder output.
If you select Phase Lag then the 2 available options are "with Hysteresis" and "without Hysteresis"
.
The Hysteresis option helps prevent the Recorder Output from jumping from Full to Bottom Scale
when the phase measurement is near 0 or 359 degrees. When you check the Hysteresis option,
the recorder signal operates as follows:
l The monitor scales the recorder output so that 4 mA corresponds to 0 degrees and 20 mA
corresponds to 380 degrees (360 plus 20 degrees).
l An increasing phase measurement does not transition until the measurement has gone 20
degrees past 360 degrees. At this point, the recorder signal switches from 20 mA to a signal
that corresponds to 20 degrees, or 4.842 mA.
l A decreasing phase measurement transitions at 0 degrees (4 mA). At this point, the recorder
signal switches from 4 mA to a signal that corresponds to 360 degrees, or 19.158 mA.
2.2.6.1 Two mA Clamp
Click this check box to cause the monitor to clamp the Recorder Output for a Bypassed channel
to 2 mA.
Clear this check box to cause the monitor to use the selected clamp value for a Bypassed chan-
nel.
2.3 Alarm Setpoints

This section specifies the available setpoints for each type of channel. A setpoint is the level
within the full-scale range that determines when an alarm occurs. You can set Alert/Alarm 1 set-
points for every static value on each channel. The channel will drive an Alert/Alarm 1 indication if
1 or more of the channel static values exceed their setpoints. You can set up to 4 Danger/Alarm 2
setpoints (2 over setpoints and 2 under setpoints) for up to 2 of the static values. You may select
any 2 of the available static values for the channel.
Note
You can place the setpoint Over and Under limits only within the OK limits of the specified transducer.

2.3.1 Alarm Setpoint Dialog

Use the Setpoint Configuration Screen in the 3500 Rack Configuration Software, shown in Figure
"Acceleration 2 Septoint Configuration", to adjust Alert/Alarm 1 and Danger/Alarm 2 setpoints for
a channel.
Figure 2 - 4: Acceleration 2 Setpoint Configuration
2.3.2 Available Setpoints

The table below lists the Alert/Alarm 1 and Danger/Alarm 2 setpoints that are available for the
Acceleration 2 channel type. Modbus uses the setpoint number. Bias Voltage is not available as
an alarming parameter.

Advisory
The older Acceleration channel type had only 2 setpoints. Setpoint Number 2 was the Danger setpoint. The equiv-
alent Acceleration 2 setpoint is now Setpoint Number 10.
2.3.3 Alarm Hysteresis

The alarming hysteresis for all channel configurations is 1/64th of full scale. When a channel
exceeds an alarm setpoint, it must fall back below the setpoint less the amount of hysteresis
before it can go out of alarm.
Example:
Consider a channel configuration with a 0 - 10 mils full-scale range and an alarm setpoint at 6
mils. Full scale is 10 mils - 0 mils = 10 mils, so the hysteresis = 10 mils/64 = 0.16 mils. The channel
input, therefore, must fall below 6 mils - 0.16 mils = 5.84 mils before the channel is out of alarm.
2.4 General Parameters and Buttons

easily to identify which machine point is being examined. Default names are displayed as
RxxSxxCxx to denote the rack, slot, and channel source of the data.
2.5 Configuration Considerations

Consider the following items before configuring an Acceleration 2 Channel:
l When you select "No Keyphasor" , you cannot select the 1X Amplitude (Ampl) and Phase
Lag or 2X Amplitude (Ampl) and Phase Lag.
l If you select a Keyphasor channel, a Keyphasor must be configured and enabled in the sys-
tem.
l You can enable the 1X and 2X Phase values and alarms only if you configure the selected
Keyphasor channel for an events per revolution value equal to 1.
l The full-scale options that each static value allows depend on the transducer type.
l You must configure monitors in channel pairs (for example, you may configure Channels 1
and 2 as Acceleration and Channels 3 and 4 as Radial Vibration).
l When you select integration, the software will change the available Full-scale ranges to
reflect this. This will also limit the frequency support to 20 kHz.
l When you select integration, the software will set the high-pass filter to 10 Hz, if it is not
already set to a higher frequency, and the vector parameters will be inactive below 10 Hz.
l When you select band-pass filtering, you must set the high-pass and low-pass filters at
least 2 octaves apart.
l When you select RMS, all of the static values for the channel will be in RMS units.
l When you select the Acceleration Dual Path channel type, the monitor uses transducer 1
for channels 1 and 2 and transducer 3 for channels 3 and 4.
l When you use Dual Path you must configure both channels for the same transducer type.
l High frequency accelerometer transducers do not support Internal Barrier I/O Modules and
20
External Barriers.
l You can install only 18 high-frequency accelerometer transducers in a full rack of standard
transducers. This is because the rack can power only 18 high-frequency Accelerometer
transducers.
l When you modify a full-scale value, readjust the setpoints that are associated with the
static value.

3. Acceleration Verification
The following sections will describe how to test alarms, verify channels, verify filter corner frequen-
cies, and test OK limits for Acceleration and Acceleration 2 channels. You verify the output values
and alarm setpoints by varying the input signal level and verifying that the Verification screen
reports the correct results on the test computer. You can configure Acceleration channels for the
channel values and alarms shown in the table.

4. Click the Verify button.
3.2 Test Alarms

The general test procedure for alarm setpoints is to use a function generator to simulate the vibra-
tion and Keyphasor signal.
You test the alarm levels by varying the output from the test equipment and verifying that the Ver-
ification screen reports the correct results on the test computer. You need test only those alarm
parameters that are configured and being used. The general test procedure to verify current
alarm operation will include simulating a transducer input signal and varying this signal:
l to exceed over Alert/Alarm 1 and Danger/Alarm 2 Setpoints
l to drop below any under Alert/Alarm 1 and Danger/Alarm 2 Setpoints
l to produce a non-alarm condition
When varying the signal from an alarm condition to a non-alarm condition, you must consider
alarm hysteresis. Adjust the signal well below the alarm setpoint to clear the alarm.

3.3 Verify Channel Values

The general test procedure for channel values is to use a function generator to simulate the vibra-
tion and Keyphasor input signal. You verify the output values by varying the input vibration sig-
nal level (both peak-to-peak amplitude and dc voltage bias) and verifying that the Verification
screen reports the correct results on the test computer.
Note
These parameters have an accuracy specification of ±1% of full scale for amplitude and 3º for phase.

3.3.7 Calculating the Input Voltage for Full Scale

To verify channel values and corner frequencies you must use the following formulas to cal-
culate the input voltage for Full-scale.
Advisory
Use the Transducer Scale Factor displayed in the Scale Factor Box on the Verification Screen.
3.3.7.1 Full Scale Formulas With Integration

l To input rms volts for peak full scale units:
Input Voltage (Vrms) = (FS * SF * VF * 0.3535)/30.72
l To input peak-to-peak volts for peak full scale units:
l Input Voltage (Vrms) = (FS * SF * VF)/30.72
l To input rms volts for rms full scale units:
Input Voltage (Vpk-pk) = (FS * SF * VF * 0.5)/30.72
l To input peak-to-peak volts for RMS full scale units:
Input Voltage (Vpk-pk) = (FS * SF * VF * 1.414)/30.72
l where
FS = the full scale value in g or m/s2
SF = the Velocity scale factor in V/g or V/(m/s2)
VF = the calculated value from "Calculating Verification Frequency."
Use the following conversion formulas to convert Metric units to English Units:
l SF(V/g) = SF in V/(m/s2) * 9.8135 (m/s2/g)
l FS (mm/s) = (FS in in/s) / 2.54 mm/in
Example:
Calculate the input voltage for a channel with the following configuration:
Transducer Scale Factor = 10.19 mV/ms2

Full Scale = 25 mm/s2 pk
HPF = 10 Hz
LPF = 8000 Hz
38
1. Convert Metric units to English units.
Scale Factor = 10.19mV/(m/s2) x 9.8135 (m/s2)/g

= 100 mV/g
Full-scale = (25 mm/s2) / 2.54 mm/in
= 1.0 in/s
2. Calculate the input voltage.
Verification Frequency =
= 283 Hz
Input Voltage (Vrms) = (1.0 in/s * 0.1 V/g * 283 Hz * 0.3535) / 30.72
= 0.326 Vrms
Input Voltage (Vpk-pk) = (1.0 in/s * 0.1 V/g * 283 Hz) / 30.72
= 0.921Vpk-pk
3.3.7.2 Full Scale Equations Without Integration

Table 3-4: Full Scale Formulas - No Integration
Units To Input RMS Volts To Input Peak to Peak Volts
g pk (TSF x Full-scale) x 0.707 (TSF x Full-scale) x 2
g rms (TSF x Full-scale) (TSF x Full-scale) x 2 .82
m/s2 pk (TSF x Full-scale) X 7.07 (TSF x Full-scale) x 2
m/s2 rms (TSF x Full-scale) (TSF x Full-scale) x 2.82
TSF = Transducer Scale Factor

The formulas require that the TSF is in volts and the TSF and Full-Scale values are both of the
same unit system (metric or English).
The transducer Scale Factor is always specified as volts per g pk or volts per m/ss pk.
Example 1:
Transducer Scale Factor = 100 mV g

Full Scale = 2 g pk

3.4 Test OK Limits

The general approach for testing OK limits is for you to input a dc voltage and adjust the voltage
above the Upper OK Limit and below the Lower OK Limit. This will produce a channel Not OK con-
dition and cause the OK Relay to change state (de-energize). The test computer displays the
Upper OK Limit and Lower OK Limits on the Verification screen.
ule.
2. Connect the test equipment and run the software as described in the section, “Test Equip-
3. Bypass all other configured channels.
4. Adjust the power supply voltage to -7.00 Vdc.
5. Press the RESET switch. Verify that the monitor OK LED is on and that the Channel OK State
line in the Channel Status section of the Verification screen reads OK.
Note
If the Danger Bypass is active, then the BYPASS LED will be on. All other channels in the rack must be OK or
bypassed for the OK relay to energize.
6. Verify that the OK relay on the System Monitor indicates OK (is energized). (See the appro-
priate System Monitor manual for more information.)
7. Increase the power supply voltage (more negative) until the OK LED just goes off (upper
limit). Verify that the Channel OK State line on the Verification screen reads Not OK and that
the OK Relay indicates Not OK. Verify that Verification screen displays an Upper OK Limit
voltage that is equal to or more positive than the input voltage.
9. Press the RESET switch. Verify that the OK LED comes back on and that the OK relay ener-
gizes. Verify that the Channel OK State line in the Channel Status section reads OK.
10. Gradually decrease the power supply voltage (less negative) until the OK LED just goes off
(lower limit). Verify that the Channel OK State line in the Channel Status section reads Not OK
and that the OK Relay indicates Not OK. Verify that the Verification screen displays a Lower
OK Limit voltage that is equal to or more negative than the input voltage.
12. Press the RESET switch. Verify that the OK LED comes back on and that the OK relay
40
energizes. Verify that the Channel OK State line in the Channel Status section reads OK.
13. If you cannot verify any configured OK limit, you must replace the monitor. Refer to “If a
Channel Fails a Verification Test” in your monitor hardware manual.
16. Return the bypass switches for all configured channels back to their original settings.

Note
Whenever you modify a full-scale range, you should readjust the setpoints that are associated with this static
value.
4.1.1.2 Clamp Value

The value sent to the recorders and Modbus when the monitor receives invalid input. Invalid input
can be caused by:
l Channel Not OK status
l Monitor Not Ok status
The clamp value is not shown on the monitor display or in the 3500 Rack Configuration software.
l 3500 Systems:
The monitor clamps only the Recorder Outputs and the values provided through the Com-
munication Gateway and Display Interface Module when the static value is invalid.
l 3500 ENCORE Systems:
The monitor clamps only the Recorder Outputs and the values provided over Modbus
when the static value is invalid.
4.1.1.3 Recorder Output
The recorder output is the static value of a channel that the monitor sends to the 4 to 20 mA
recorder. The recorder output is proportional to the measured value over the channel full-scale
range. An increase of the static value increases the current at the recorder output.
Two mA Clamp
Click this check box to cause the monitor to clamp the Recorder Output for a Bypassed channel
to 2 mA.
Clear this check box to cause the monitor to use the selected clamp value for a Bypassed chan-
nel.
4.1.2 Trip Multiply

The Trip Multiply value temporarily increases the alarm (Alert and Danger) setpoint values. Manual
(operator) action normally applies this value during startup to allow a machine to pass through
high vibration speed ranges without triggering monitor alarm indications. High vibration speed
ranges may include system resonances and other normal transient vibrations. The multiplier is
configurable from 1X to 3X in 0.25X increments. The Trip Multiply state of the rack can be toggled
by the following methods:
47
l Closing the Trip Multiply contact on the System Monitor or Power Input Module (3500
ENCORE Systems)
l Issuing the Trip Multiply command over an industrial protocol (example: Modbus)
l Issuing the Trip Multiply command in the 3500 Rack Configuration Software
4.1.3 Type
The following transducer types are available for the Acceleration Channel with a non-barrier I/O
module.
l Non-standard
The following transducer types are available for the Acceleration Channel with a barrier I/O mod-
ule.

l Non-standard
4.1.4 Customize Button

You use this button to adjust the Scale Factor for transducers. Refer to the "Adjusting the Scale
Factor and Zero Position" section of your hardware manual. Also, note that:
l If you select Non-standard as the transducer type, you can also adjust the OK Limits.
l The Non-standard transducer's scale factor must be between 5 and 115 mV/g.
l The Upper and Lower OK Limits must differ by at least 2 volts.
48
l If you select a Non-standard transducer, the software sets the setpoint OK limits to±1 volt
from the Upper and Lower OK Limits that are selected.

4.1.5 I/O Module Attached - Jumper Position

This option returns the position of the transducer jumper on the I/O Module in 3500 systems.
Note
In the 3500 ENCORE systems, the jumper is located on the monitor.
4.1.6 Take Input From Channel 1 (3) Transducer

This causes the even numbered channel to make its transducer input identical to the odd num-
bered channel that makes up the channel pair. This will also set items that a change in transducer
would affect, such as Barriers.
4.1.7 Corner Frequencies

If you do not select a filter, then the software will configure the corner frequencies as follows:
l If you disable integration, software will configure the monitor with a 3 Hz High-pass Filter
(HPF) and a 30 kHz Low-pass Filter (LPF).
l If you enable integration, software will configure the monitor with a 10 Hz HPF and a 20 kHz
LPF.
50
4.1.8 High-Pass Filter

The High-pass Filter is a 4-pole filter that you must set at least 2 octaves away from the Low-pass
Filter.
HPF <= (LPF / 4)
4.1.9 Low-Pass Filter

The Low-pass Filter is a 4-pole filter that you must be set at least 2 octaves away from the High-
pass Filter.
LPF >= (HPF x 4)
When you select band-pass filtering, you must set the high-pass and low-pass filters at least 2
octaves apart.
4.1.10 Delay
Delay is the time for which a static value must remain at or above an over alarm level, or below an
under alarm level, before the monitor declares an alarm as active.
4.1.10.1 Alert Delay
You can set the Alert time delay in 1 second increments (from 1 to 60 seconds) for all available
static values. Alert is the first level alarm that occurs when the transducer signal level exceeds the
selected Alert/Alarm 1 setpoint. You can set this setpoint on the Setpoint screen.
4.1.10.2 Danger Delay
You can set the Danger Time Delay at 500 millisecond increments from 1 to 60 seconds. Danger is
the second level alarm that occurs when the transducer signal level exceeds the selected
Danger/Alarm 2 setpoint. You can set this setpoint on the Setpoint screen.
4.1.10.3 100 ms Option
The 100 ms (typical) option applies only to the Danger time delay and has the following effects:
If the 100 ms option is OFF:
l You can set the Danger time delay in 1-second increments (from 1 to 60 seconds).
l You can set the Danger time delay for up to 2 available static values.
If the 100 ms option is ON:
l The software sets the Danger time delay to 100 ms.
l You can set the Danger time delay for only the primary static value.
51
4.1.11 Alarm Mode

The options for Alarm Mode are Latching and Non-latching. You can set the Alarm Mode option
for both the Alert and Danger alarms.
4.1.11.1 Latching
Once a latching alarm is active, it will remain active even after the static value drops below the
configured setpoint level. The channel will remain in alarm until you use one of the following meth-
ods to reset it:
l Pressing the RESET button on the System Monitor
l Clicking the Reset button in the Operator Display software1
l Issuing a reset command over Modbus
l Issuing the rest command through the Communication Gateway or Display Interface Mod-
ule1
l Issuing a reset command in the 3500 Rack Configuration Software
1 3500 Systems Only
4.1.11.2 Non-latching
When a non-latching alarm is active, it changes to inactive as soon as the static value drops
below the configured setpoint level.
4.1.11.3 Timed OK Channel Defeat
Timed OK Channel Defeat is an option that prevents a channel from returning to an OK status
until that channel's transducer has remained in an OK state for the specified period of time. If you
enable the option, the software sets the time to 30 seconds. This option prevents false trips that
intermittent transducers can cause.
4.1.11.4 Monitor Danger Relay Voting
This option allows you to add logic processing to channel alarming.
l OR - if either channel of a channel pair is in danger alarm, the danger alarm relay is acti-
vated.
l AND - if both channels of a channel pair are in danger alarm, the danger alarm relay is acti-
vated.
Relay Voting is available when the Dual Relay option is selected.
52
4.1.12 Barriers
Barriers are devices that restrict the amount of energy that can flow into a hazardous area. Select
the MTL 796(-) Zener External option or Galvanic Isolators if you will connect external safety bar-
riers between the monitor and the transducer. If your application uses an internal barrier I/O mod-
ule, select the internal option.
4.1.13 OK Mode
Latching
If you configure a channel for Latching OK, then once the channel has gone Not OK the status
will stay Not OK until you use one of the following methods to issue a reset:
l Pressing the reset switch on the front of the System Module
l Issuing the reset command over Modbus
l Issuing the reset command through the 3500 Display Interface Module
l Issuing the reset command in the 3500 Rack Configuration Software
Non-latching
If you configure a channel for Non-latching OK, the OK status of that channel will track the
defined OK status of the transducer.
4.1.14 CP Mod
Selecting the CP Mod button in the Channel Options Dialog Box allows you to download a Cus-
tom channel configuration to the monitor. The 3500 Rack Configuration Software stores custom
configuration data in a Custom Products Modification File. Custom Products Modification files fol-
low the naming convention: <modification #.mod>. You must place these files in the
\3500\Rackcfg\Mods\ directory. When you select a CP Mod file, the software displays a window
that describes the function of the modification. CP Mod files are available through Bently Nevada,
Inc.'s Custom Products Division. Contact your local sales representative for details.
4.2 Alarm Setpoints

This section specifies the available setpoints for each type of channel. A setpoint is the level
within the full-scale range that determines when an alarm occurs. You can set Alert/Alarm 1 set-
points for every static value on each channel. The channel will drive an Alert/Alarm 1 indication if
1 or more of the channel static values exceed their setpoints. You can set up to 4 Danger/Alarm 2
setpoints (2 over setpoints and 2 under setpoints) for up to 2 of the static values. You may select
any 2 of the available static values for the channel.
Note
You can place the setpoint Over and Under limits only within the OK limits of the specified transducer.
53
4.2.1 Alarm Setpoint Dialog

Use the Setpoint Configuration Screen in the 3500 Rack Configuration Software, shown in Figure
"Acceleration Septoint Configuration", to adjust Alert/Alarm 1 and Danger/Alarm 2 setpoints for a
channel.
Figure 4 - 3: Acceleration Setpoint Configuration
4.2.2 Available Setpoints

The table below lists the Alert/Alarm 1 and Danger/Alarm setpoints that are available for the Accel-
eration channel type. Modbus uses the setpoint number. Bias Voltage is not available as an alarm-
ing parameter.
Table 4-10: Acceleration Available Setpoints
Setpoint Number Acceleration
1 Over Direct
2 Danger (Over Direct)
4.2.3 Alarm Hysteresis

The alarming hysteresis for all channel configurations is 1/64th of full scale. When a channel
exceeds an alarm setpoint, it must fall back below the setpoint less the amount of hysteresis
before it can go out of alarm.
Example:
54
Consider a channel configuration with a 0 - 10 mils full-scale range and an alarm setpoint at 6
mils. Full scale is 10 mils - 0 mils = 10 mils, so the hysteresis = 10 mils/64 = 0.16 mils. The channel
input, therefore, must fall below 6 mils - 0.16 mils = 5.84 mils before the channel is out of alarm.
4.3 Configuration Considerations

Consider the following items before configuring an Acceleration Channel:
l The software automatically selects the "No Keyphasor" option for this channel type. This
channel type requires no Keyphasor signals.
l The Acceleration Direct full-scale range depends on the transducer type.
l You must configure monitors in channel pairs (for example, you may configure Channels 1
and 2 as Acceleration and Channels 3 and 4 as Radial Vibration).
l When you modify a full-scale value, readjust the setpoints that are associated with the
static value.
l If you select a Non-standard transducer, then the software sets the setpoint OK limits to
Â±1 volt from the Upper and Lower OK Limits that are selected.
l When you select integration, the software will change the available Full-scale range to
reflect this.
l When you select band-pass filtering, you must set the high-pass and low-pass filters at
least 2 octaves apart.
l When you activate 2 channels of acceleration the maximum channel frequency that the
monitor supports is as shown in the Table "Acceleration Channel Type Frequency Ranges" .
l When you activate a single channel of acceleration, the maximum channel frequency that
the monitor supports is as shown in the Table "Acceleration Channel Type Frequency
Ranges" .
l The Latching OK Mode and the Timed OK Channel Defeat options are not compatible.
l High frequency accelerometer transducers do not support Internal Barrier I/O Modules and
External Barriers.
l You can install only 18 high-frequency accelerometer transducers in a full rack of standard
transducers. This is because the rack can power only 18 high-frequency Accelerometer
transducers.
