    3.3.3 Reading FFT Data One of the types of data available to print in the Vibrex 2000 or Vibrex 2000 Plus spectral data file is called raw FFT. Fast Fourier transform (FFT) is a method used to record vibration spectra digitally. An FFT consists of individual bins (also called lines).
  • Page 42: Using The Print Key

    The value in storing the vibration measurements as FFT data lies in its PC versatility. The user can create plots and graphs of the data, using the Chadwick-Helmuth V2K Plot Software program. For details on how to use this program to plot FFT data, see the V2K Plot Software User Guide.

  • Page 63: Photocell System

    4.4.2 Photocell System The operational end of the Vibrex 2000 or Vibrex 2000 Plus photocell system is the Banner photocell probe (from now on called the photocell). This unit is self-contained and uses a visible red light (650 nm) from a light-emitting diode (LED) triggered by a retro-reflective target.
  • Page 64: Retro-Reflective Target

    The orientation of the photocell can also vary, depending on the size of the target. A single strip of the Chadwick-Helmuth retro-reflective target, aligned so it dwells in the photocell beam for the longest period of time, is usually adequate.
  • Page 65: General Photocell Use

    The photocell is used in the sourcing mode. The wire color codes are shown in the table below. Color Source Brown +10-30 Vdc Blue DC Common Black Signal Source White Signal Sink Not Used Vibrex 2000 and Vibrex 2000 Plus User Guide...
  • Page 66: Photocell Placement

    This LED is the alignment indicator. As the LED pulses faster (at a higher rate), it indicates better alignment. However, if the pulse rate is too fast to observe, the user must reduce the size of the target. Chadwick-Helmuth Company, Inc.

  • Page 68: Target Positioning

    Rotate the component to be balanced to a position where a blade or some easily identifiable part of the rotating assembly crosses the photocell beam. Place a single retro-reflective target strip aligned tangentially on the rotating component, where the target is illuminated by the photocell’s beam. Chadwick-Helmuth Company, Inc.
  • Page 69: Magnetic Pickup

    Refer to the appropriate Chadwick-Helmuth Model 177M-6A Vibrex checklist for magnetic pickup installation, if other documentation is inadequate. The installation for the Vibrex 2000 and Vibrex 2000 Plus is the same. Vibrex 2000 and Vibrex 2000 Plus User Guide...

    To determine the engine revolutions per minute (RPM) from the photocell, check the engine data plate and apply the resulting ratio to the tachometer reading from the propeller. NOTE: The propeller tachometer signal from the photocell does not match the engine tachometer RPM. Chadwick-Helmuth Company, Inc.
