V. Structural Design

The module adopts a standard rack-based modular structure as a whole, with a compact layout, divided into three parts: front panel, internal main circuit, and rear terminal block. It is convenient for installation, wiring, and maintenance.

Internal main circuit: Two completely independent signal processing units (corresponding to channels 1/2), each containing signal conditioning, filtering, high-speed sampling, calculation, alarm comparison, and relay drive circuits. There is no electrical connection between channels, and a single-point failure does not affect the other channel.

VIII. Installation and Maintenance Specifications

Installation Requirements

Rack installation: The module is smoothly inserted into the vacant slot of the 3300 rack, ensuring that the gold-plated connectors at the rear are fully engaged, and the panel screws are tightened to prevent loosening. Sensor wiring: Connect the high-sensitivity Velomitor sensor signal cable to the corresponding input terminal according to the channel number. Ensure the connection is firm, with the shielding layer grounded at one end. Avoid interference.

Alarm wiring: Connect the relay contacts to the sound and light alarm circuit or the unit safety interlock circuit according to the design drawings. Distinguish between warning and dangerous contacts to ensure correct interlock logic.

Power-up configuration: Power on after confirming normal -24V DC power supply. Through panel buttons or remote configuration software, set parameters such as range, filtering, alarm threshold, and delay, and save for effect.

Sensor installation: Install the Velomitor sensor vertically or horizontally on the rigid part of the bearing seat, ensuring a tight fit with the housing, cable fixation and protection, and avoiding vibration wear.

Daily maintenance

Inspection and check: Regularly observe the panel display and LED indicators to confirm normal dual-channel vibration data and no fault alarms; Check for any looseness, oxidation, or overheating at the connection terminals, and handle potential hazards promptly.

Precision calibration: Calibrate the module's measurement accuracy annually using a standard vibration bench to ensure compliance with API 670 standards.

Clean cooling: Regularly clean the module surface and rack slots of accumulated dust to ensure good ventilation and cooling, and prevent dust accumulation from causing short circuits or poor cooling faults.

Spare parts replacement: When replacing the module, sensor, or cable, must use the original Bentley product of the same model. Do not use non-original accessories to avoid compatibility issues or measurement errors.

IX. Usage precautions

This module is not explosion-proof and has no built-in safety barrier. Do not install or use it in flammable and explosive, or areas with combustible gases or dust.

It must be used in conjunction with the original Bentley high-sensitivity Velomitor speed sensor (500 mV/in/s). Do not mix with other specifications of sensors. Otherwise, it will result in sensitivity mismatch and measurement failure.

The sensor must be installed on the rigid part of the bearing seat, firmly attached, and not installed in thin-walled or non-rigid areas to prevent distortion of vibration transmission and increase measurement errors.

Do not disassemble the module, modify the internal circuitry, or change the factory-calibrated parameters of the sensor. Illegal operations will cause equipment damage and loss of product warranty rights.

Before wiring, maintenance, or module replacement operations, must cut off the power supply of the rack to prevent short circuits, electric shock, etc. from occurring.

Alarm threshold, delay, etc. parameters must be strictly set according to the unit process requirements. Improper parameters will cause protection failure or frequent false alarms.

The module installation location should be as far as possible from frequency converters, transformers, high-voltage distribution cabinets, etc., strong electromagnetic interference sources, to reduce the influence of external interference on the measurement signal.
