Section 1 - Receiving and Handling
1. Receiving and Handling

1.1 Receiving Inspection
Visually inspect the module for obvious shipping damage. If shipping damage is
apparent, file a claim with the carrier and submit a copy to Bently Nevada
Corporation.
1.2 Handling and Storing Considerations

Circuit boards contain devices that are susceptible to damage when exposed to
electrostatic charges. Damage caused by obvious mishandling of the board will
void the warranty. To avoid damage, observe the following precautions in the
order given:
Application Alert: Machinery protection will be lost when this module is

removed from the rack.
1. Do not discharge static electricity onto the circuit board. Avoid tools
or procedures that would subject the circuit board to static damage. Some
possible causes include ungrounded soldering irons, nonconductive plastics,
and similar materials.
2. Personnel must be grounded with a suitable grounding strap (such as
3M Velostat No. 2060) before handling or maintaining a printed circuit board.
3. Transport and store circuit boards in electrically conductive bags or
foil.
4. Use extra caution during dry weather. Relative humidity less than 30
% tends to multiply the accumulation of static charges on any surface.
1.3 Disposal Statement

Customers and third parties that are in control of product at the end of its life or
at the end of its use are solely responsible for proper disposal of product. No
person, firm, corporation, association, or agency that is in control of the product
shall dispose of it in a manner that is in violation of United States state laws,
United States federal laws, or any applicable international laws. Bently Nevada

2. General Information
The 3500/72M Recip Rod Position Monitor is a four-channel monitor that accepts
input from Proximitor Transducers which measure the position of the
reciprocating rod on a rev-to-rev basis. The monitor uses this input to drive
alarms for protection and provide waveform data to System 1 for management
via 3500 TDI. The monitor can be programmed using the 3500 Rack
Configuration Software to perform any of the following functions: Rod Position-
Pair, Rod Position-Single, Rod Drop, and Hyper compressor Rod Movement.
The monitor can receive input from many types of transducers including the
following Bently Nevada transducers:
Proximitor Transducers
3300XL 8mm and 11mm
3300 8mm
7200 8mm, 11mm, and 14mm

The primary purpose of the 3500/72M monitor is to provide 1) machinery
protection by continuously comparing current machine wear against configured
alarm setpoints to drive alarms and, 2) essential machine wear information to
both operator and maintenance personnel. Alarm setpoints are configured using
the 3500 Rack Configuration Software. Alarm setpoints can be configured for
each active proportional value, and danger setpoints can be configured for two of
the active proportional values.
When shipped from the factory, the 3500/72M is delivered unconfigured. When
needed, the 3500/72M can be installed into a 3500 rack and configured to
perform the required monitoring function. This lets you stock a single monitor for
use as a spare for many different reciprocating compressor applications.
2.1 Triple Modular Redundant Description

basic steps in this process are: 1) Enter channel type and machine parameters
into the software configuration screens. 2) Download the incomplete
configuration to the 3500 Rack. 3) While the configuration computer is
connected to the Rack, use the software Calibrate Channel screen and calibrate
the transducer(s) and configure the options for the channel in the Options
screen. 4) While in the Options screen, gap the probe at the required position.
5) Adjust the Zero Position or Setup Voltage in the Options screen accordingly.
6) Adjust alarm setpoints to the desired levels in the Setpoint configuration
screen. 7) Download the completed channel configuration to the 3500 Rack.
3.2 Software Configuration Options

This section shows the configuration screens of the Rack Configuration Software
that are associated with the monitor and discusses the configuration
considerations. It will show a copy of the software screens and will explain the
options that are available.
15
3.2.1 Recip Rod Position Monitor Configuration Options

This section describes the options available on the Recip Rod Position Monitor
configuration screen.
3.2.1.1.1 Reference Information

These fields contain information that indicates which module you are configuring.
Slot
The location of the monitor in the 3500 rack (2 through 15).
Rack Type
The type of Rack Interface Module installed in the rack (Standard or TMR). This field
is always set to standard since the Recip Rod Position Monitor can only be installed
in a standard rack.
Configuration ID
A unique six character identifier which is entered when a configuration is downloaded
to the 3500 rack.
3.2.1.1.2 Slot Input/Output Module Type

The I/O field lets you identify the type of I/O Module that is attached to the
monitor (The option selected must agree with the I/O module installed). These
choices are:
16
Prox/Velom Internal I/O
The transducer field wiring is connected directly to the I/O module.
Prox/Velom External I/O

The transducer field wiring is connected to an External Termination Block and then
routed from the External Termination Block to the I/O module through a 25-pin cable.
The recorder field wiring is connected to an External Termination Block and then
routed from the External Termination Block to the I/O module through a 9-pin cable.
Prox/Accel Internal Barrier I/O

The transducer field wiring is connected directly to the Internal Barrier I/O Module.
Note that selecting the Prox/Accel Internal Barrier I/O option will disable certain
transducer type options.
3.2.1.1.3 Throw Configuration

The fields within these tabs pertain to the monitoring of each individual throw.
Channel Type
The type of monitoring which is to be performed by the channel pair. The following
Channel types are available in the monitor:
- Rod Position Single
- Rod Position Pair
- Rod Drop
- Hyper
3.2.1.1.4 Keyphasor® Association
No Keyphasor
Can be used when a Keyphasor is not available. If this is marked, then it will restrict
data available for each channel type. Rod Position Single and Rod Position Pair
channel types will only have Position Magnitude, Position Angle, Pk-Pk, and Gap
measurements. Rod Drop will only allow Average measurements. Hyper channels
will only have Pk-Pk and Gap available.
Design Speed
When the No Keyphasor box is selected for Rod Position Single and Rod Position
Pair channel types, the configuration software creates a new box called Design
Speed. You are required to enter the designed operating RPM of the system.
Primary
The Keyphasor channel selected that is normally used for measurement. When this
Keyphasor transducer is marked invalid, the backup Keyphasor will provide the shaft
reference information.
Backup
The Keyphasor channel selected that will be used if the primary fails. If you do not
have a backup Keyphasor, select the same Keyphasor channel as the primary.
Piston Angle
17
When the piston hits top dead center, this is the angular measurement between the
centerline of the Keyphasor probe to the keyphasor leading edge. This is measured
to the left edge (for CCW rotating crankshaft) or to the right edge (for CW rotating
crankshaft) of the index notch on the crankshaft position wheel in the direction of
crank rotation when the piston is at Top Dead Center.
3.2.1.1.5 Channel
Active
Select whether the functions of the channel will be turned on () or off ().
Channel Selection
Use the pull down menu to determine which channel(s) are to be used with the
throw. Only one channel is used with Rod Position Single and Rod Drop channel
types. For Rod Position Pair and Hyper channel types, you must use dual channels,
either 1-2 or 3-4.
Configuration
A button used to display the configuration options for the selected channel type.
Barriers
Select the MTL 796(-) Zener External option, or Galvanic Isolators if external safety
barriers are connected between the monitor and the transducer. If the Prox/Accel
Internal Barrier I/O Module is selected for Slot Input/Output Module Type, the Internal
option is selected for you. These devices are used to restrict the amount of energy
that can flow into a hazardous area.
3.2.2 Rod Position Single Channel Configuration

This section discusses the Configuration Considerations and the Rack
Configuration Software screens associated with the Rod Position Single channel
type.
3.2.2.1 Rod Position Single Channel Configuration Considerations

Consider the following items before configuring a Rod Position Single Channel:
5. Internal Barrier I/O Modules and External barriers are not currently
supported with 7200 11 mm or 14 mm.
6. When “NO Keyphasor” is selected, the Design Speed is used to
calculate Position Magnitude, Position Angle, 1X Amplitude, 2X Amplitude,
and Not 1X Amplitude. Differences between the input Design Speed and the
18
actual machine running speed will produce inconsistent data. Crank Angle
measurements are not valid.
7. If a Keyphasor Channel is selected, a Keyphasor Module must be
installed in the rack.
8. The full scale options allowed for each proportional value are
dependent upon the transducer type and rod material.
9. Setpoints may only be set on proportional values which are enabled.
10. Monitors must be configured in channel pairs. Channels 1 and 2 must
be configured to be the same Channel type. Channels 3 and 4 must be
configured to be the same channel type. (Ex: Channels 1 and 2 may be
configured as Rod Position Single and Channels 3 and 4 may be configured
as Hyper)
11. When a full-scale range is modified, the setpoints associated with this
proportional value should be readjusted.
12. You should run the transducer calibration and download it to the
monitor before you do the center position setup.
13. The configuration program will not allow you to make a change
without checking for proper settings in the options screen.

3.2.2.3 Rod Position Single Channel Options Screen

This section describes the options available on the Rod Position Single Channel
Transducer Options screen.

Channel
The channel of the monitor being configured.
Slot
Rack Type
in a standard rack.
22
3.2.2.3.2 Enabled
An enabled proportional value specifies that the value will be provided by the
channel ( enabled, disabled).
Position Magnitude
The maximum value of the position vector magnitudes calculated every one degree
of crank rotation over one cycle. The position vector magnitudes are the rod center
position relative to a zero position representing the piston being concentric to the
cylinder bore.
Position Angle
The angle made by the vector representation of the maximum position magnitude.
Represents where the center of the rod is with respect to the zero position when the
position vector is at its maximum magnitude. 0 degrees is defined as vertical with
CW being positive rotation viewed from crank end. For Rod Position Single channel
types, Position Angle measurements can only be 0 or 180 degrees.
Crank Angle
The rotational angle of the crank corresponding to the axial position of the rod
(referenced from piston Top Dead Center) when the position vector is at its maximum
magnitude. Represents where the rod is located in its stroke when the position
vector is at its maximum magnitude. The crank angle is referenced from the piston
angle (TDC being 0 degrees) with positive rotation in the direction of crank rotation.
Pk Pk Displacement
Data which represents the overall peak to peak vibration. For the Recip Rod Position
Monitor the frequency response for Pk Pk displacement is always 1 to 600 Hz or 60
to 36,000 CPM.
Gap
A voltage representing the physical distance between the face of a proximity probe
tip and the observed surface. Standard polarity convention dictates that a
decreasing gap results in an increasing (less negative) output signal.
1X Amplitude
In a complex vibration signal, notation for the amplitude component that occurs at the
rotative speed frequency.
2X Amplitude
In a complex vibration signal, notation for the amplitude component having a
frequency equal to two times the shaft rotative speed.
Not 1X Amplitude
In a complex vibration signal, notation for the peak to peak amplitude of the wave
shape after the rotative speed component is removed.
Full Scale Range

Each selectable proportional value provides the ability to set a full scale value. The
Full Scale Range selections are dependant upon the transducer calibration. The Full
Scale cannot be set larger than the linear range of the transducer. All scales for the
Rod Position channel types have a minimum value of 0.
Clamp Value
The value that a proportional value goes to when that channel or proportional value
is bypassed or defeated (For example when a problem occurs with the transducer).
23
The selected value can be between the minimum and maximum full-scale range
values. Only the values available from the Recorder Outputs, Communication
Gateway and Display Interface Module are clamped to the specified value when the
proportional value is invalid.
Recorder Output
The proportional value of a channel that is sent to the 4 to 20 mA recorder. The
recorder output is proportional to the measured value over the channel full scale
range. An increase in the proportional value that would be indicated as upscale on a
bar graph display results in an increase in the current at the recorder output.
If the channel is Bypassed, the output will be clamped to the selected clamp value or
to 2 mA (if the 2 mA clamp is selected).
3.2.2.3.3 Alarm Mode

Alert should be the first level alarm that occurs when the transducer signal level
exceeds the selected value. Danger should be the second level alarm that occurs
when the transducer signal level exceeds the selected value. The Alert and Danger
values are set on the Setpoint screen.
Latching
Once an alarm is active it will remain active even after the proportional value enters
back into the configured non-alarm setpoint level. The channel will remain in alarm
until it is reset using one of the following methods:
- the reset switch on the front of the Rack Interface Module
- the contact on the Rack Interface I/O Module
- the Reset button in the Operator Display Software
- the reset command through the Communication Gateway Module
- the reset command through the Display Interface Module
- the reset command in the Rack Configuration Software
Nonlatching
When an alarm is active it will go inactive as soon as the proportional value enters
back into the configured non-alarm setpoint level.
Delay
The time which a proportional value must remain at or above an over alarm level or
below an under alarm level before an alarm is declared as active.
Alert
First level alarm that occurs when the transducer signal level exceeds the selected
Alert/Alarm 1 setpoint. This setpoint can be set on the Setpoint screen. The Alert
time delay is adjustable in one second intervals (from 1 to 60) for all available
proportional values.
Danger
Second level alarm that occurs when the transducer signal level exceeds the
selected Danger/Alarm 2 setpoint. This setpoint can be set on the Setpoint screen.
100 ms option
The 100 ms (typical) option applies to the Danger time delay only and has the
following results:
24
If the 100 ms option is off ():
- The Danger time delay can be set at one second intervals (from 1 to 60).
- The Danger time delay can be set for up to two available proportional
values.
If the 100 ms option is on ():

- The Danger time delay is set to 100 ms.
- The Danger time delay can only be set for the primary proportional value.
3.2.2.3.4 Channel Centered Position Setup
Setup Crank Angle

The angular rotation measurement of the crank from when the piston is at top dead
center to the point when the Setup Voltage is read.
Current Gap Voltage

The current voltage reading from the transducer. A connection with the rack is
required and Gap must be currently enabled in the configuration for the monitor for
this value to be returned.
Setup Voltage
The voltage the channel’s transducer reads when the piston is at the setup crank
angle and is at rest in the cylinder on its initial rider band thickness (bottom
clearance).
Channel Offset
The distance aligned with the channel’s transducer that shows how far from ideal
center the rod is during setup when the piston is resting on its bottom rider band
thickness. A channel offset AWAY means that the rod is further away from the probe
face than when at ideal center. A channel offset TOWARD means that the rod is
closer to the probe face than when at ideal center.
Calculated Center Voltage

The voltage the channel’s transducer would read if the piston were being held in the
center of the cylinder clearance. This centered voltage is calculated using the
transducer scale factor, the cylinder I.D., the piston-to-cylinder bottom and top
clearances, the calculated thermal growth of the piston, and the CF when the rod is
at the setup crank angle specified.
Setup = Gap Button

Adjust the Setup voltage to the current transducer gap voltage. When this button is
clicked, the current gap voltage is automatically read into the Setup Voltage box.
Since this utility provides active feedback from the 3500 rack, a connection with the
rack is required.
3.2.2.3.5 Timed OK Channel Defeat

When enabled, this feature normally suppresses channel alarms and data values
when the channel transitions to a Not OK condition. This feature is always
disabled in the Recip Rod Position Monitor, so the action taken by the monitor if
a channel goes Not OK is:
1) the Not OK will be reported in the channel status, 2) the proportional values
will continue to be calculated and reported, and 3) the channel will annunciate
25
and maintain an alarm if the data value in the Not OK condition exceeds the
alarm setpoint.

3.2.6 Rod Position Transducer Calibration

This section describes the options available on the Recip Rod Position Monitor
Transducer Calibration Screens. A rod transducer calibration is necessary to
determine the useable linear range of the transducer when viewing the piston rod
material.
The shaft calibrator kit, p/n 330186, is one tool used to temporarily mount a
spindle micrometer to the piston rod so that the transducer curve can be
generated. The kit includes a spindle micrometer, strap, 4140 target button for
system verification with a collet for alignment, eight probe adapters to
accommodate most Bently Nevada proximity probes, and an instruction card.
A proximity probe is mounted so that the probe face is flush with the piston rod
(mechanical zero). It is then backed out in small increments where the voltages
are recorded for each gap. The usable linear range can then be calculated using
the recorded voltages.
The default linear range and gap mil increments are determined by the
transducer selected in the previous screen.
47
The gap voltage values may be recorded with conventional methods and directly
entered into the calibration screen. Blue values are determined by the software
to be outside the useable linear range of the selected transducer.
Note: If internal or external barriers are being used, it is critical that the gap
voltage be measured on the safe side of the barrier or errors will result in the
monitor setup.
Adjust Button
The Adjust button next to each voltage may be used to read values directly from the
transducer into the calibration screen. This feature requires that the computer used
for configuring be connected to the 3500 rack and all wiring be correct within the
system. You must also have the configuration on the previous screen downloaded to
the rack and the Gap must have been enabled in the Options screen and
downloaded using the 3500 Config software. When connected to the 3500 rack a
current Gap measurement is shown in the lower right hand corner.
Note: The Adjust Button reads the current voltage value of the system. Proper
care must be taken to match up the correct physical gap of the probe with the
corresponding voltage.
After the probe has been backed out to a new gap, wait a period of 10 to 15
seconds before taking the Adjust Button reading from the Current Gap Voltage.
This accounts for the gap voltage filter setting time.
It is important to run the calibration with the probe viewing an area of the piston
rod actually viewed during normal operation of the compressor.
3.2.6.1.1 Calculated Values

As voltage values are entered for increasing gap values, the Incremental Scale
Factors are determined automatically.
3.2.6.1.2 Channel Setup
Total Linear Range

The Total Linear Range is calculated by the software using the values recorded in
the transducer curve. It is defined as the range over which the variation between
each Incremental Scale Factor and the Average Scale Factor are less than or equal
to 10%. This range can also be identified by the change in colors seen in the
transducer curve data.
Lower Gap
The Lower Gap is determined by picking the least negative voltage within the linear
range. It is the lower value in the range to be used, defines one end of the bar
graph, and defines one setpoint limit.
Upper Gap
The Upper Gap is determined by picking the most negative voltage within the linear
range. It is the upper value in the range to be used, defines one end of the bar
graph, and defines one setpoint limit.
Note: The user must set the Upper and Lower Gaps after entering all the
transducer curve data. The upper and lower gaps must be within the linear
range of the transducer.
48
Scale Factor
The calculated average scale factor within the chosen Upper and Lower Gaps. This
is the change in output per change in input (sensitivity) of a transducer.
OK Limits
The upper and lower OK limit voltages are displayed for reference.
Current Gap Voltage

Displays the current voltage of the transducer channel. This value can be “read” into
the curve data fields by using the adjust buttons.
3.2.6.1.3 Calibration Data
Save Button
Calibration data will be saved for the channel as a text file that can be used for later
retrieval.
Load Button
Calibration data will be loaded for the channel from a saved calibration file.
To use data from a calibration file the transducer, barrier, and unit data must be
consistent with the current configured parameters.
49
3.2.6.2 Sample Transducer Calibration
The following calibration was made using a Tungsten Carbide target material.
The system included a 3300XL 8mm Proximitor and 5m probe combination. The
3500 rack was also connected to the software.
1. After the shaft calibrator kit was installed, the probe was backed out to 5 mils
of Gap. This value, -0.92 V, was input into the 5 mil voltage block using the
Adjust Button and reading from the Current Gap Voltage in the lower right
hand corner. Remember, the BLUE values are not used in linear range
calculations, but are only for reference.
2. The probe was then backed out to a 10 mil gap. Again, the Adjust Button
read the Current Gap Voltage and input the reading into the Voltage box.
3. The gap voltage was recorded in 5 mil increments until the voltage values
failed to change. This occurred at 85 mils of gap.
Note: Be sure to fill in all voltage spaces down to the bottom of the screen.
4. The ISF for every Gap Increment was calculated by the software along with
the percentage of deviation. The software automatically calculates the
useable linear range to be 55 mils. The useable linear range is defined as
50
values with less than 10% deviation to its ISF and is within the OK limits of
the transducer. This is shown by the Black colored voltage values (10 to 65
mils).
5. The Lower Gap can be set to 10 mils (Least negative voltage inside the linear
range).
6. The Upper Gap can be set to 65 mils (Most negative voltage inside the linear
range).
3.3 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.
The 3500 Monitoring System allows Alert/Alarm 1 setpoints to be set for every
proportional value on each channel. The channel will drive an Alert/Alarm 1
indication if one or more of the channel proportional values exceeds its setpoints.
The 3500 Monitoring System also allows up to four Danger/Alarm 2 setpoints
(two over setpoints and two under setpoints) to be set for up to two of the
proportional values. You may select any two of the available proportional values
for the channel.
Note: The setpoint over and under limits can only be placed within the upper
and lower gap values of the specified transducer.
Use the following screen in the Rack Configuration Software to adjust

Alert/Alarm 1 and Danger/Alarm 2 setpoints. This screen will vary depending
upon the type of channel.
The following table lists the Alert/Alarm 1 and Danger/Alarm 2 setpoints available
for each channel pair type. The setpoint number is used in the Communication
Gateway and Display Interface Modules.

Notes:
The alarming hysteresis for all channel configurations for a 72M Monitor is 1/64 of
Full Scale. When a channel exceeds an alarm setpoint, it must fall back below the
setpoint less the hysteresis before it can go out of alarm. For example, consider a
channel configuration with a 0–10 mils full scale and an alarm setpoint at 6 mils as
illustrated below:
52
The hysteresis = 10 mils/64 = 0.16 mils. The channel input must fall below 6 mils -
0.16 mils (5.84 mils) before the channel is out of alarm.
3.4 Software Switches

The Recip Rod Position Monitor supports two module software switches and four
channel software switches. These switches let you temporarily bypass or inhibit
monitor and channel functions. Set these switches on the Software Switches
screen under the Utilities Option on the main screen of the Rack Configuration

Section 4 - I/O Module Descriptions
4. I/O Module Descriptions

The Recip Rod Position Monitor will use Prox/Velom I/O Modules and the Barrier
Proximitor I/O Module, which receive signals from the transducers and routes the
signals to the monitor. The I/O module also supplies power to the transducers.
The I/O module provides a 4 to 20mA recorder output for each transducer input
channels. Only one I/O module can be installed at any one time and must be
installed behind the Recip Rod Position Monitor (in a Rack Mount or Panel Mount
rack) or above the Recip Rod Position Monitor (in a Bulkhead rack).
In addition, Internal Barrier I/O Modules provide four channels of intrinsically safe
signal conditioning for Proximitor transducers. There are two internally mounted
zener barrier modules, one for each pair of transducer channels.
This section describes how to use the connectors on the I/O modules, lists what
cables to use, and shows the pin outs of the cables. The 3500 Field Wiring
Diagram Package (part number 130432-01) shows how to connect transducers
to the I/O module or the External Termination Block.
4.1 Setting the I/O Jumper

The I/O jumper on the Prox/Velom I/O Module is used to identify the type of
transducer connected to the I/O module. However, the Recip Rod Position
Monitor only uses Proximitor type transducer inputs. The jumper must always be
set to the Prox/Accl position.
Note:
The connector shunt must be installed vertically on the top or bottom 8 terminal
posts to select the corresponding transducer type.
WARNING- The connector shunt must be placed over the terminal posts for
which the channel pair is configured, even when the channel pair is inactivated.
4.1.1.1.1 PROX/ACCL (Proximitor/Accelerometer):

The eight-pin connector shunt must be installed on the top eight terminal posts.
55
4.2 Prox/Velom I/O Module (Internal Termination)

Internal Termination I/O modules require you to wire each transducer and
recorder to the I/O module individually. This section shows what this Internal
Termination I/O module looks like and how to connect the wires to the Euro Style
connector.
(1) Connect the wire from the transducers associated with Channel 1 and 2.
(2) The jumper must be set to Prox/Accl transducer type for Channel 1 and 2.
(5) INHB/RET: Connect to an external switch. Used to inhibit all non-primary Alert/Alarm 1 functions
for all four channels.
(6) COM/REC: Connect each channel of the I/O module to a recorder.
56
4.2.1 Wiring Euro Style Connectors

To remove a terminal block from its base, loosen the screws attaching the
terminal block to the base, grip the block firmly and pull. Do not pull the block out
by its wires because this could loosen or damage the wires or connector.
Figure 4-1 Typical I/O module
Refer to the 3500 Field Wiring Diagram Package for the recommended wiring.

5. Maintenance
The boards and components inside of 3500 modules cannot be repaired in the
field. Maintaining a 3500 rack consists of testing module channels to verify that
they are operating correctly. Modules that are not operating correctly should be
replaced with a spare.
This section shows how to verify the operation of channels in a Recip Rod
Position Monitor.
5.1 Verifying a 3500 Rack – Recip Rod Position Monitor

Module
The 3500 Monitoring System is a high precision instrument that requires no
calibration. The functions of monitor channels, however, must be verified at
regular intervals. At each maintenance interval, we recommend that you use the
procedures in this section to verify the operation of all active channels in the
monitor. It is only necessary to verify the alarms and accuracy of channel
proportional values that are active.

5.1.1 Choosing a Maintenance Interval

Use the following approach to choose a maintenance interval:
39. Start with an interval of one year and then shorten the interval if any
of the following conditions apply:
- The monitored machine is classified as critical
- The 3500 rack is operating in a harsh environment such as in extreme
temperature, high humidity, or in a corrosive atmosphere.
40. At each interval, use the results of the previous verifications and ISO
Procedure 10012-1 to adjust the interval.

5.1.4 Using the Rack Configuration Software

The laptop computer that is part of the test setup uses the Rack Configuration
Software to display output from the rack and to reset certain operating
parameters in the rack. To perform the test procedures in this section you must
be familiar with the following features of the Rack Configuration Software:
49. upload, download, and save configuration files
50. enable and disable channels and alarms
51. bypass channels and alarms
52. display the Verification screen
The Rack Configuration and Test Utilities Guide explains how to perform these
operations.
Note: It is important to save the original rack configuration before doing any
Maintenance or Troubleshooting Procedures. It may be necessary during these
procedures to change setpoints, etc. which must be restored to their original
values at the conclusion of the procedures. At that time the original configuration
should be downloaded to the rack.
The Keyphasor module must not be configured for the Recip Multi-Event Wheel
to do the verification.

5.1.5.2 Test Alarms – Rod Position Single

The general approach for testing alarm setpoints is to simulate the position and
Keyphasor® signals with a function generator. The alarm levels are tested by
varying this input signal and observing that the correct results are reported in the
Verification screen on the test computer. It is only necessary to test 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:
11. to exceed Over Alert/Alarm 1 and Danger/Alarm 2 Setpoints, and
12. to drop below any Under Alert/Alarm 1 and Danger/Alarm 2 Setpoints and
75
13. to produce a non-alarm condition.
When varying the signal from an alarm condition to a non-alarm condition, alarm
hysteresis must be considered. Adjust the signal well below the alarm setpoint
for the alarm to clear.
5.1.5.2.1 Position Magnitude

Note: The Calculated Center Voltage value can be seen in the verification
screen.
14. Disconnect PWR, COM, and SIG field wiring from the channel terminals on
the I/O module.
15. Connect test equipment and run software as described in Section 5.1.2,
Required Test Equipment and Setup. Set the function generator to have
Sine wave output.
16. Set the Keyphasor multiplier/divider so that the multiply setting is one and the
divide setting is one. Turn down the Amplitude on the function generator to
have the minimum possible value and adjust the power supply DC voltage
level to produce a gap reading that results in a Position Magnitude that is
above (more negative than) the Calculated Center Voltage level and below
(less negative than) the Position Magnitude setpoint levels on the bar graph
display of the Verification screen.
17. Press the RESET switch on the Rack Interface Module (RIM). Verify that the
OK LED is on, the bar graph indicator for Position Magnitude is green, and
the Current Value field contains no alarm indication.
18. Increase (more negative) the power supply voltage such that the signal just
exceeds the Position Magnitude Over Alert/Alarm 1 setpoint level. Wait until
2 or 3 seconds after the alarm time delay expires and verify that the bar
graph indicator for Position Magnitude changes color from green to yellow
and that the Current Value Field indicates an Alarm.
19. Press the RESET switch on the RIM. Verify that the bar graph indicator for
Position Magnitude remains yellow and that the Current Field still indicates
an Alarm.
20. Increase (more negative) the power supply such that the signal just exceeds

seconds after the alarm time delay expires and verify that the bar graph
indicator for Position Magnitude changes color from yellow to red and that the
Current Value Field indicates an Alarm.
Position Magnitude remains red and that the Current Value Field still
indicates an Alarm.
22. Decrease (less negative) the power supply voltage such that the gap signal
reads above the Calculated Center Voltage level and below the Over Alarm
setpoint levels. If the non-latching option is configured, observe that the bar
graph indicator for Position Magnitude changes color to green and that the
Current Value Box contains no indication of alarms. Press the RESET switch
on the RIM to reset latching alarms.

divide setting is one.
97. Calculate the Full scale voltage according to the equation and examples
shown below.
Full Scale Voltage = Calculated Center Voltage - (Position Magnitude Top Scale
x Transducer Scale Factor)
Note: Use the Calculated Center Voltage and the Transducer Scale Factor
displayed on the Verification Screen.
Example 1:
Calculated Center Voltage = -10.250 Vdc
Position Magnitude Meter Top Scale = 40 mil
Transducer Scale Factor = 200mV/mil
Full Scale = -10.250 - (40 X 0.200) = -18.250 Vdc
Example 2:
Position Magnitude Meter Top Scale = 800µm
Transducer Scale Factor = 7,874 mV/mm
= 7.874 mV/µm
Full Scale = -10.25 - (800 X 0.007874) = -16.5492 Vdc
98. Turn down the Amplitude on the function generator to have the minimum
possible value and adjust the power supply DC voltage level to the calculated
Full Scale voltage.
99. Verify that the Position Magnitude bar graph display and Current Value Box is
reading ±1% of full scale. If the recorder output is configured, refer to section
5.1.9 (Verify Recorder Outputs) for steps to verify the recorder output.
100. Verify the Position Angle bar graph display and Current Value Box is
reading correctly. If the Transducer Orientation is configured as 0°, the
Position Angle should read 180°. If the Transducer Orientation is configured
as 180°, the Position Angle should read 0°. If the recorder output is
83
configured, refer to section 5.1.9 (Verify Recorder Outputs) for steps to verify
the recorder output.
101. Set the power supply input voltage equal to the Calculated Center
Voltage. Verify that the Position Magnitude bar graph display and Current
Value Box is reading aproximately Zero. If the recorder output is configured,
refer to section 5.1.9 (Verify Recorder Outputs) for steps to verify the
recorder output.
102. Calculate the Opposite Full scale voltage according to the equation
and examples shown below.
Note: The Opposite Full scale voltage will result in a full scale reading on the
bar graph display and Current Value Box reading.
Opposite Full Scale Voltage = Calculated Center Voltage + (Position Magnitude

Top Scale x Transducer Scale Factor)
Note: Use the Calculated Center Voltage and the Transducer Scale Factor
Example 1:
Position Magnitude Meter Top Scale = 40 mil
Opposite Full Scale = -10.250 + (40 X 0.200) = -2.250 Vdc
Example 2:
Position Magnitude Meter Top Scale = 800µm
= 7.874 mV/µm
Opposite Full Scale = -10.25 + (800 X 0.007874) = -3.9508 Vdc
103. Turn down the Amplitude on the function generator to have the
minimum possible value and adjust the power supply DC voltage level to the
calculated Full Scale voltage.
104. Verify that the Position Magnitude bar graph display and Current
Value Box is reading ±1% of full scale. If the recorder output is configured,
refer to section 5.1.9 (Verify Recorder Outputs) for steps to verify the
recorder output.
105. Verify the Position Angle bar graph display and Current Value Box is
reading correctly. If the Transducer Orientation is at 0°, the Position Angle
should read 0°. If the Transducer Orientation is at 180°, the Position Angle
should read 180°. If the recorder output is configured, refer to section 5.1.9
(Verify Recorder Outputs) for steps to verify the recorder output.
106. If the reading does not meet specifications, check that the input signal
is correct. If the monitor still does not meet specifications of fails any other
part of this test, go to section 5.1.10 (If a Channel Fails a Verification Test).

111. Using a 2-Channel oscilloscope, look at the triangle wave at the input
to the monitor on one channel and look at the input to the keyphasor module
on the other channel. Be sure to look at the keyphasor signal on the I/O side
of the capacitor.
112. Set both channels of the oscilloscope to be DC coupled.
Note: Due to the low frequencies, making this measurement with the scope AC
coupled will introduce error in the Sync_Offset.
113. Measure and calculate the Crank Angle using the following
instructions and referencing the drawing below:
57. Turn down the DC offset to minimum level with out clipping the signal
on the triangle wave input channel so that it can be seen on the scope.
Adjust the vertical scale on the scope on the Keyphasor channel so that the
Keyphasor pulse can be seen.

Calculated Center Voltage level.
Note: The Pk_Pk voltage cannot cross the Calculated Center Voltage level.
256. Record the transducer orientation angles from the monitor Options
screen. These angles are to be between 0° and 359° with 0° being vertical or
opposing gravity and going in the CW direction as viewed from the driver
end. These angles will be α1 and α2 for Channels 1 and 2 respectively.
Example:
α 1 = 10° Left (options screen) = 350°
α 2 = 85° Right (options screen) = 85°
257. Calculate β (the angle between the probes) with the following
equation:
β = α1 – α2
Example:
α1 = 350°
α2 = 85°
β = α1 – α2 = 350° - 85° = 265°
258. Calculate x’ and y’ (translated orthogonal probe gaps) with the

following equations:
x’ (mils) = (P1 – ZP1) / SF1
y’ (mils) = [(P2 – ZP2) / SF2 – x’Cosβ] / Sinβ
Example:
DC Offset = -5.00 Vdc
Sine wave Amplitude = 1 Vpp
β = 265°
ZP1 = ZP2 = -10.50 Vdc
SF1 = SF2 = 200 mV/mil = .200 V/mil
P1 = P2 = -5.00 + .50 = -4.5 Volts
x’ = [-4.50 – (-10.50)] / .200

x’ = 6.00 / .200 = 30.0 mil
103
y’ = [ [-4.50 – (-10.5)] / .200 – (30*Cos265°) ] / Sin265°

y’ = [ 6 / .200 – (-2.61) ] / (-.996)
y’ = -32.7 mils
P1 and P2 are the DC offset Voltage value plus ½ of the Vpp Voltage value.
Note: Since the same input signal is going into Channel 1 and 2, the values of
P1 and P2 will be the same.
ZP1 and ZP2 are the Calculated Center Voltage levels given on the Software
Verification Screens. These values will most likely be different for each channel.
SF1 and SF2 are the probe Scale Factors for each channel given on the
Software Verification Screens.
259. Calculate the Position Magnitude vector value with the following
equation:
Position Magnitude (mils) = Sqrt(x’^2 + y’^2)
Example:
x’ = 30.0 mils
y’ = -32.7 mils
Position Magnitude = Sqrt [(30)^2 + (-32.7)^2]

Position Magnitude = Sqrt [900 + 1069]
Position Magnitude = 44.4 mils
260. Verify that the Position Magnitude bar graph display and Current
Value Box is reading of the calculated value ±1% of Full Scale. If the
recorder output is configured, refer to section 5.1.9 (Verify Recorder Outputs)
for steps to verify the recorder output.
261. Transform the coordinates to the actual X and Y values of the position
vector with the following equations:
Φ = 90° - α1
x = x’CosΦ – y’SinΦ
y = x’SinΦ + y’CosΦ
Example:
Φ = 90° - 350°
Φ = -260°
x = 30.0*Cos(-260°) – (-32.7)*Sin(-260°)
x = -5.21 + 32.20
x = 26.99 mils
y = 30.0*Sin(-260°) + (-32.7)*Cos(-260°)
y = 29.54 + 5.68
y = 35.22 mils
262. Determine the Position Angle with the following rules and equations:
For y = 0
If x > 0 - Position Angle = 90°
104
Section 5 -
If x < 0 - Position Angle = 270°
If x = 0 - Position Angle = 0°
For y > 0
If x >= 0 - Position Angle = arctan (x/y)
If x < 0 - Position Angle = arctan (x/y) + 360°
For y < 0 - Position Angle = arctan (x/y) + 180°
Example:
x = 26.99 mils
y = 35.22 mils
y>0
x >= 0
Position Angle = arctan(26.99/35.22)
Position Angle = 37.5°

of the capacitor.
271. Measure and calculate the Crank Angle using the following
105
- Turn down the DC offset to minimum level with out clipping the signal on
the triangle wave input channel so that it can be seen on the scope.
Adjust the vertical scale on the scope on the keyphasor channel so that
the keyphasor pulse can be seen.
- Measure the time of the full Keyphasor_Cycle_Time (6) as shown.

- Calculate the Piston_Angle_Time using the following equation (The time
from the Keyphasor leading edge to the Piston Top Dead Center). Refer
to the monitor Configuration Options screen to get the Piston Angle value.
Piston_Angle_Time = (Piston Angle / 360°) X Keyphasor_Cycle_Time
- Mark the Piston_Angle_Time (7) on the scope.

- Measure the time from the Piston_Angle_Time to the next
Positive_Peak_Value_Time (8) on the oscilloscope as shown.
- Calculate the Crank Angle with the following equation:
Crank Angle = (Positive_Peak_Value_Time / Keyphasor_Cycle_Time) X 360°

the other channel. Be sure to look at the keyphasor signal on the I/O side of
the capacitor.
365. Measure and calculate the Sync_Offset_Angle using the following

- Turn down the DC offset to minimum level with out clipping the signal on
the Sine wave input channel so that it can be seen on the scope. Adjust
the vertical scale on the scope on the keyphasor channel so that the
keyphasor pulse can be seen.
- Center the signal vertically about an axis on the scope. This makes it
easier to see the zero crossing.
- Measure the time of the full Keyphasor_Cycle_Time (6) as shown.
119
- Measure the time of the Sync_Offset_Time as shown (7). Calculate the
Sync_Offset_Angle:
Sync_Offset_Angle = (Sync_Offset_Time / Keyphasor_Cycle_Time) X 360°

Example:
Keyphasor_Cycle_Time = 66.4 ms
Sync_Offset_Time = 32.4 ms
Sync_Offset_Angle = (32.4 / 66.4) X 360°

Sync_Offset_Angle = 175°
- Using the following equation and configured machine parameters,

calculate the Instantaneous Gap:
Instantaneous Gap = Vp * Sin(PA + TA – Sync_Offset_Angle) + DC Offset

Example:
Sync_Offset_Angle = 175°
Vpp = 2 Volt, Vp = 1 Volt
P.A. = 60°
T.A. = 55°
DC_Offset = -7.00 Volt
I.G. = 1.0V * Sin(60° + 55° - 175°) –7.00V

I.G. = 1.0V * Sin(-60°) – 7.00V
I.G. = 1.0V * (-.866) – 7.00V
I.G. = -7.87 Vdc
- Vp is input peak amplitude (NOT peak to peak).

- DC Offset is the DC offset of the input sine wave in negative volts.
- PA is the machine parameter Piston Angle. TA is the maching parameter
Trigger Angle. These values are available in the monitor options screen.
- Sync_Offset_Angle is the value in degrees from the falling edge
keyphasor signal to the next zero value of the Sine wave heading in the
positive direction.

Example:
Transducer Orientation = 180°
