  • Page 8: Introduction

    Introduction The (CS)649AX3-Series Bearing Fault Detector PLUS is a USB-programmable, loop-powered device with 4- 20mA output, all contained in typical vibration sensor housing. It is specifically designed to provide early warning of typical ball/rolling element bearing faults such as cracked races, spalling, brinelling and looseness. It has five modes of detection that are user-selectable by a simple software program through a PC’s USB port- RMS Acceleration, True Peak Acceleration, Compensated Peak Acceleration, Crest Factor and Crest Factor Plus.
  • Page 9: Operating Principles

    Operating Principles Figure 1 – Block Diagram A block diagram is shown above. BFD+ includes an embedded piezoelectric sensor that generates a voltage output that is proportional to the sensed vibration. The output of the sensor is passed through a band-pass filter (250 Hz to 10+ kHz) and then an amplifier.
  • Page 10: Outputs

    Outputs True Peak Acceleration  Details: This is the highest acceleration value captured within the sampling window. The acceleration signal used for this output is high pass filtered at 250 Hz.  Best Uses: This is the best and most commonly used method for early detection of bearing wear for fixed speed machinery.
  • Page 11 Crest Factor Plus  Details: This is similar to Crest Factor Plus, but the output has been adjusted such that the value always increases as the bearing condition gets worse. This uses a sum of Crest Factor, RMS Acceleration, and True Peak Acceleration.
  • Page 12: Installation

    Installation When choosing a mounting method, consider closely the advantages and disadvantages of each technique. Typical mounting types are stud, direct adhesive, adhesive mounting base and magnetic mounting base. Stud mounting is highly recommended for the BFD+ since it has a frequency response upwards of 10 kHz and most of the output signals are directly related to high frequency energy.
  • Page 13: Standard Stud Mount

    Standard Stud Mount Procedure This mounting technique requires smooth, flat contact surfaces for proper operation and is recommended for permanent and/or secure installations. Stud mounting is also recommended when testing at high frequencies. Note: Do not attempt mounting on curved, rough or uneven surfaces, as the potential for misalignment and limited contact surface may significantly reduce the sensor’s upper operating frequency range.
  • Page 14: Adhesive Stud Mount

    Adhesive Stud Mount Procedure Adhesive mounting is often used for temporary installation or when the machine surface cannot be adequately prepared for stud mounting. Adhesives like hot glue or wax work well for temporary mounts; two-part epoxies and quick-bonding gels provide a more permanent mount. Note: Adhesively mounted sensors often exhibit a reduction in high-frequency range.
  • Page 15: Magnetic Mount

    Magnetic Mount Procedure Magnetic mounting provides a convenient means for making portable measurements and is commonly used for machinery monitoring and other portable or trending applications. Note: The correct magnet choice and an adequately prepared mounting surface are critical for obtaining reliable measurements, especially at high frequencies.
  • Page 16: Wiring

    Wiring BFD+ operates from a standard 2-wire, 4-20mA loop. If using a loop powered unit, attach the positive (+) input from the power supply to Pin A on the sensor and the negative (-) input from the power supply to Pin of the sensor.
  • Page 17: Programming Software

    Programming Software The BFD+ can be user-programmed with either of two optional programming kits, Model 600A21 (non-ROHS compliant) or Model 600A35 (ROHS compliant). Both kits include a USB programmer cable/dongle (Model 600A21 kit includes Model 070A89 cable; Model 600A35 kit includes Model 070A103 cable), software (Model EE225) and terminal block/integral cable adapter (Model 042M17).

Figure 15 – WinUSB Driver Installation Screen The drivers will now be properly installed and you should get the following screen. Click “Finish”. The software is now ready to use.
  • Page 20: Running The Software

    Running the Software Connect the USB programmer cable to a USB port on the PC and then run the software from the Start | All Programs | PCB EE225 Software menu item. Initially the screen will appear as in Error! Reference source not found. with a yellow bar and status indicating ‘Initializing…’...
  • Page 21 To select a device, click on the Device Select pull down menu and select the device you’d like to program. In this case, select 649A03. Figure 19 – Device Selection Once a product is selected, the software will prompt you to confirm connection of the sensor to the PC using the USB programmer cable.
  • Page 22: Programming Sections

    Programming Sections The screen has three sections:  649A03 Sensor Data – This section displays the current vibration data in g’s peak, g’s RMS and HF g’s RMS (g’s RMS with 2.5 kHz high-pass filter applied)  Actual 649A03 Settings – This section shows the settings currently programmed in the sensor.
  • Page 23: Parameter Options

    Parameter Options There are several parameters that can be programmed to optimize performance of the Bearing Fault Detector Plus. At any point during the programming process, the values can be changed between imperial and metric measurements by clicking the Units dropdown in the top navigation menu and then selecting the appropriate measurement type.
