TROUBLE SHOOTING

I. Standard procedures
In case of suspected malfunction, a structur-
ed system test should be carried out. By
following the below steps, a complete
system test is carried out, and an
identification of the problem should be
possible.

II. Check of power supply to probe

Connect the power supply to K11(+),
K13(-).
The display will indicate "88.88". After one
second the control unit will scan the value

SYSTEM SET-UP
After mounting the probe and connecting the
circuit board, the Axial Vibration Monitor is
ready for set-up.

12
Axial Vibration Monitor AVM-KM30-13 User's Manual

The installation procedure is following:

First, mount the axial vibration monitor
(display unit) on an diesel engine.
Second, mount a sensor(probe) at desired
mounting position properly, that is a distance
from the target on engine crank case
Third, connect a sensor cable to monitor.
Fourth, turn on the power.
Fifth, read a current mounted position
displayed on the monitor by pressing the
both view buttons simultaneously.
Finally, please move the sensor just as much
as difference between the desired mounting
position and the current mounted position.
Please, repeat fifth and final procedures until
a sensor is mounted at desired point.

is not absolutely over the normal range. For example, it is 8.50 mm for an Man B&W diesel engine and is 6.50
mm for a sulzer type diesel engine. It is at user's option to select a cable length of the probe.
