  • Page 8: Introduction

    Introduction The FLIR Vibration Monitoring Solution allows you to monitor machinery for excessive vibration and over-temperature conditions using a mobile device exclusively (stand-alone) or a combination of Windows PC and mobile device. Accelerometers in the Remote Sensors measure changes in vibration. Ther- mometers in the Remote Sensors measure surface Temperature.
  • Page 9 Introduction Figure 2.4 Monitoring vibration and temperature in chillers. Vibration measurements look at the frequency (velocity), amplitude (strength), and acceleration (intensity) of the vibration. Figure 2.5 Vibration frequency (left), amplitude (centre), and acceleration (right) Vibration measurements provide insight into potential mechanical issues. This device is well suited for identifying imbalances, eccentricity, loose parts, and misalignment.

    Sensor Installation NOTE Do not permanently affix sensors to assets until you’ve allowed sufficient time to ensure sta- ble communication between sensors and Gateways in their temporary positions. 6.1 Sensor Placement Considerations When considering test point sensor locations, the individual parts of the equipment and its operation should be well understood.

  • Page 27: Where Sensors Should Not Be Placed

    Sensor Installation 6.3 Where Sensors should not be placed CAUTION Do not mount sensors on the following locations: • Motor winding areas • Middle of motor • Pump casing • Cooling fan fins/covers • Coupling belt guards, gearboxes • Seal locations Figure 6.3 Examples of places you should not mount sensors.

  • Page 28: Documenting Sensor Locations

    Sensor Installation Ensure that coverage of equipment is sufficient regarding the number of sen- sors. Ten (10) sensor will work in most circumstances, given no obstruction between Gateway and sensor. The key factor is obstruction since, with no ob- struction, it is possible to have more than ten sensors operating normally. Use multiple Gateways to accommodate more sensors and to ensure proper cov- erage of a test site.

  • Page 29: Mapping A Test Site

    Mapping a Test Site To best maintain a test site, it is important to keep a list of asset (equipment) names and their types, classifications, and locations. Depending on the size of the operation, a site map may also be needed to show machine locations and the test points where sensors are attached to assets.

  • Page 30: Communication Preparation

    If you’ll be communicating using a Win- dows PC, you’ll need the Windows PC app and the mobile app. The mobile app is available from the App Store, Google Play, or FLIR website (link below). The Windows app is available from the FLIR website.

  • Page 31: Windows Pc Operation Block Diagram

    Communication Preparation This diagram shows how a test system is configured using a smart device. The sensor, on a monitored asset, automatically sends vibration and tempera- ture data to the gateway every 90 seconds (via Bluetooth). The Gateway transmits sensor data to the smart phone using Wi-Fi. The smart device alerts the user to abnormal vibration or temperature readings.

    This is useful in the representation of vibration measurements. For example, Velocity graphs, in the FLIR mobile and Windows apps, are derived from FFT analysis of Acceleration measurements. 11.2 Time-Domain and Frequency-Domain Methods Time and frequency domain vibration measurement methods can both be em- ployed to study vibration measurements.
  • Page 50 Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) • Looseness is evidenced by a marked increase in the number of harmonics. If there is looseness in the main support of the asset, an increase in the fundamental frequency amplitude will also be noticed. Figure 11.1 Graph on left shows a normal system; Centre graph shows a balance issue; Graph on right shows a misalignment issue.

  • Page 51: Toggling Stand-Alone And Local Server Modes

    Toggling Stand-Alone and Local Server Modes Once you set up your test system as either a ‘Stand-Alone’ or ‘Local Server’ configuration, switching to the opposite mode requires a few steps prepara- tion. If you attempt to setup in Local Server mode, after you’ve setup in Stand- Alone mode, for example, you’ll receive an error message on the mobile app.
  • Page 52 Toggling Stand-Alone and Local Server Modes To switch from the Stand-Alone mode to the Local Server mode, follow these steps. 1. Navigate to the opening mobile app screen and select Stand-Alone mode. 2. Step to the + Add Gateway screen, where the currently connected Gate- way name will be shown.
