essary measures are taken. It is the duty of the operator to ensure that these measures are properly planned and implemented. In particular, you must ensure that the system is only be used for its intended purpose the system is only operated when it is in proper working condi-
tion The system is installed and operated only by suitably qualified and authorized personnel VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012 8 Safety All operating personnel have been instructed in the relevant occupational safety and environmental protection issues in rela-
tion to the system, and in the use of this manual, with particular reference to the safety instructions The responsibilities for installation, commissioning and opera-
tion have been assigned Compliance with operating manual You must ensure that This manual has been read and fully understood by all operating personnel, and that all instructions are strictly adhered to A copy of the manual is filed near the system and accessible at all times to the operating personnel The manual is handed over to any future owner of the system Training You must instruct the operating personnel on a regular basis on the application of all safety instructions. It is your duty to ensure that all safety instructions are strictly adhered to. You must also instruct your personnel to comply with all statutory and other binding safety and accident prevention regulations and ensure that all warnings are observed. As the system operator, you must ensure that all personnel work with due regard to safety. 2.3 Information for operating personnel Qualification The system must be commissioned and operated by properly in-
structed and authorized personnel. Installation and dismantling must be performed by a qualified electrician. All operating person-
nel must have read and fully understood the operating manual and must follow all instructions in the manual. Personal protective equipment All personnel involved in the installation and dismantling of the system must wear hard hats and protective goggles. No personal protective equipment is required for the operation of the system. Rules for normal operation The operating status of the bridge is indicated by the LED at the power supply. During normal operation, the LED is lit in green; if there is a power failure, the LED is off. VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012 9 Safety Regularly check for the following:
Is there visible damage to the system components?
Are any of the sensor or network cables squeezed or damaged?
If you detect any defects, notify your supervisor and / or repair them. The system must only be operated when in proper work-
ing order!
In the event of malfunction of the bridge or the sensor unit, disconnect the affected device from the power supply and se-
cure it against switching on. Please note that a failure of the system does not affect the ma-
chine operation. The machine can thus be operated as normal while the system is temporarily shut down. 2.4 Intended use VIBCONNECT RF is a stationary, wireless system for condition monitoring of machines with roller bearings. It monitors machines by measuring the following parameters:
Characteristic broad and narrow band vibration values Time signals Spectra Temperature The system works more or less continuously. Measurements at the measurement locations are performed at regular pre-
set intervals. The system is most suitable for machines where damage tends to occur slowly and gradually over time, which is the case with most standard machines (e.g. pumps, fans, com-
pressors, etc.). Sensor units that are powered through an energy harvester must only be installed in machines that operate at a constant speed in a frequency range that is adjusted for the harvester. The system must only be operated within the limits specified in this manual. Foreseeable misuse The system must not be used for the monitoring of machines that are prone to damage developing over a short time (e.g. turbines). PRFTECHNIK shall not be liable for any damage caused by incor-
rect use of the system. VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012 10 Safety 2.5 Residual risks and safety measures If installed and operated according to the instructions VIBCON-
NECT RF is a safe system. In the event of incorrect operation or use, the following damage might occur:
Personal injury Damage to the system components or to the machine Impaired radio communication (poor reception / transmission) CAUTION Risk of injury from falling parts!
When installing a bridge at great height, there is a risk that the bridge or a tool might fall to the ground, causing injury. Cordon off the area immediately below the installation site to prevent access to the danger area. Use fall-arresting equipment. CAUTION Risk of injury from electric shock!
When connecting the bridge to the power supply without taking the necessary safety precautions, there is a risk of energy from high voltage (220 V). The electrical connection must be established by a qualified electrician. The mains voltage must conform to the IEC guidelines. An external interface (fuse or switch) must be provided in order to disconnect the power supply securely. Before carrying out any installation, repair or maintenance work on the bridge, disconnect it from the power supply. CAUTION Risk of injury from rotating machine parts!
When installing the sensor unit and the sensors while the machine is running, there is a risk of serious injury caused by exposed, moving machine parts. Do not remove any guards on the machine. Always adhere to the safety instructions for work on running machinery. VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012 11 Safety Note Risk of damage to equipment while housing is open!
Touching the electronic components on the mother board can lead to electrostatic discharge, which can damage system components. If contact with such components cannot be excluded, wear an earthing wristband. Note EMC High-frequency radiation and electrostatic discharge (ESC) near the sensors can lead to incorrect measurements. Do not install sensor cables in high-voltage cable ducts. Note Radio approval The antennas on the system components are installed at the fac-
tory and must not be removed. Contact PRFTECHNIK, if you want to use a different type of antenna or if you need to extend the original antenna from an enclosure with an antenna cable.

toring system designed for easy installation and operation. The system consists of the following components:
1. VIBCONNECT RF bridge 2. VIBCONNECT RF sensor unit 3. VIBCONNECT RF sensor for vibration and temperature 1 2 3 4.1 VIBCONNECT RF bridge The bridge is the central reception and transmission unit in a wire-
less network (star topology) that can include up to 50 sensor units
(see also '4.2.4 Topology of radio cell', page 26). It receives the measurements from the sensor unit(s), processes them and transfers them to the OMNITREND software for evaluation and archiving. The bridge is supplied by the OMNITREND software with the measuring configurations* for each measurement location and forwards this information via radio signal to the respective sensor units. Detailed description of function OMNITREND loads the measuring configurations to the bridge, which is connected through a patch cable to the local network. The bridge then transmits this information via radio signal to the respective sen-
sor units. This happens as soon as these sensor units signal to the bridge that they are active. The data transfer is bidirectional, i.e. the bridge can only communicate with one sensor unit at any one time.

(if required) VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012 22 System description Large industrial sites can be serviced by installing several bridges, whereby the number of bridges is not limited. For vibration measurements, the sensor unit only records the related time signal. The further processing and analysis of the time signal
(characteristic value, FFT spectrum, envelopes) are performed on the bridge. The bridge stores the actual measuring configurations and the measurements that have not yet been transferred to the OM-
NITREND software. Measurements that have been uploaded to OMNITREND are automatically deleted from the bridge memory. Note The measurement import must be started manually in the OMNITREND software. Alternatively, the import can also be au-
tomated through a Windows task. For details, see the Technical Release # 21, available for free on the PRFTECHNIK homepage. Ensure that the data is regularly written to OMNITREND. Other-
wise, the memory capacity of the bridge might be exceeded so the oldest measurements are automatically overwritten with the latest ones. For optimum reception, install the bridge in an exposed location, preferably within sight contact of all connected sensor units. The transmission range in the open field is maximum 300 m (optimum conditions). For larger machine parks, you might need to install several bridges operating separate wireless networks. The bridge is powered by mains power. VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012 23 System description 4.2 VIBCONNECT RF sensor unit The sensor unit is the transmitter and receiver unit attached to the machine. Each sensor unit comes with one or two connected sensors for the simultaneous measurement of vibration and temperature. By separating the sensors from the radio unit, it is possible to position the components in the most suitable locations on the machine:
For sensors, these are the points with the highest signal level. For the transmitter / receiver, it is the point of best radio recep-
tion. The sensor unit requests the measuring tasks from the bridge and performs them by means of the connected sensors. For vibration measurements, only the related time signal is recorded. For each measurement location, up to four vibration measurements and one temperature measurement can be configured. The sensor unit can be powered from three different sources:
Battery 24 VDC Energy harvester Sensor unit with two sen-
sors, for vibration and temperature mea-
surement respectively. 4.2.1 Power options Battery The sensor unit is powered by two lithium batteries. The battery charge level is automatically signalled to the bridge at each mea-
surement transfer and displayed in OMNITREND. If a battery needs to be changed, a warning is displayed when the software is started. The batteries are not included in the scope of delivery and must be purchased separately. Manufacturer: e.g. Tadrian, type: SL-2770 Battery type: 3.6 V lithium, size C VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012 24 System description
*xxx = 50, 60, 100, 120
(frequency range in Hz) 24 VDC For this type of sensor unit, the system operator must provide a 24 VDC power connection at the location of installation. Energy harvester For this type of sensor unit, the operator must install an energy harvester (VIB 7.210-xxx*) that converts the vibration energy of the machine into electric power. This can only be done, if the ma-
chine speed is constant and within the useful frequency range of the energy harvester. 4.2.2 Operating cycle: measuring, sending, idling The sensor unit performs the measuring tasks at preset intervals, sends the data and then returns to idle to save energy. Measuring time, transmission time, idle time Each measuring sequence takes about 3 seconds, while the send-
ing of the data might take up to 30 seconds. The duration of the idle phase is set in OMNITREND for each sensor unit to a time between 30 minutes and 1 week. To explain the function of a sensor unit in a radio cell, a number of typical scenarios are described below in the form of questions and answers. 4.2.3 How does the bridge detect a sensor unit?
Each sensor unit is assigned a unique code, known as the MAC address. This code is pre-programmed in the radio module and cannot be altered. A sensor unit is assigned to a bridge in the OM-
NITREND software, using its MAC address. Note The MAC address of a sensor unit is engraved in its cover. In addi-
tion, each sensor unit is equipped with an adhesive label bearing the MAC address that is used for the configuration of the mea-
surement location database (see also '5.4.3 Mounting sensor unit', page 44). VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012 25 System description What happens, if ... .. a sensor unit wakes up from its idle time?
The sensor unit performs the measurements, using the current measuring configuration, and transfers the data via radio signal to the bridge. The bridge confirms receipt of the data and sends a new measuring configuration to the sensor unit, if this is re-
quired. Subsequently, the sensor unit returns to idle mode. .. the radio channel is used by another sensor unit?
The sensor unit waits for 2 seconds and then checks again whether the radio channel is available. .. the power supply to the sensor unit has been temporarily inter-
rupted?
When the sensor unit is switched off, the measuring configura-
tion data is lost. When the unit is switched on again, it automati-
cally requests a new configuration from the bridge. After this configuration has been received, the required measurements are performed and the data is sent to the bridge. .. a sensor unit is within the radio range of two bridges?
Each sensor unit is assigned to one bridge in the OMNITREND software. All requests sent by the sensor unit are only replied to by this bridge. .. a sensor unit is installed in an existing radio cell?
Before installing the sensor unit, you must locate the point with the best radio reception. To do this, set the sensor unit to commissioning mode to measure the reception field strength at various possible locations of installation. Then install the sensors on the machine, connect them to the sensor unit and start the system. In a further step, configure the respective measurement locations in OMNITREND. The relevant measuring configuration is then transmitted to the bridge with the best radio reception field strength (see also '5.7 Installing additional sensor unit', page 63). VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012 26 System description 4.2.4 Topology of radio cell The radio network is of a star formation, and each sensor unit com-
municates with the bridge through bidirectional communication. The individual sensor units cannot communicate with each other. This ensures that additional sensor units can be added to a cell at any time without affecting the existing components. The failure or switching off of a sensor unit does not in any way affect the rest of the network. VIBCONNECT RF radio cells are of a star formation.

It is equipped with a 2.9 m cable and is extremely compact, requiring only minimum space. It can thus be positioned at the best possible measurement location on the machine and connected to the sensor unit that is within the radio range of the bridge. Due to its very low power consumption, the sensor conserves valuable energy resources in the Battery and Harvester version. The sensor is mounted with a M8 threaded bolt to the machine. For special requirements, we supply adhesive and magnetic adapt-
ers (optional accessories).

VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012 32 Installation and commissioning 5.3 Installation & commissioning of bridge The bridge is contacted by OMNITREND through the network
(Ethernet). The bridge is addressed through the IP address of the bridge. The factory-set address is:
192.168.1.178 If the address range of your network differs from the standard range (e.g. 172. .. or 10. .. ), adjust the IP address of the bridge accordingly before you install the bridge in the machine park. 5.3.1 Changing IP address of bridge Note The following steps must be carried out at a PC workstation that features a free network port and is located near a power socket. You also need an electric power cable to power the bridge. One end of the cable must be equipped with a suitable plug, while the other end must be prepared for connection to the bridge (see also
'5.3.4 Connecting bridge', page 36). At first connection assign a temporary IP address to the PC that is within the address space 192.168.1.xx with network mask 255.255.255.0. Connect the bridge to the network and then to the power source. Enter the IP address of the bridge in the browser (see above). If no connection is established, change the connection settings of your browser (proxy server, firewall, etc.). In the login dialog, enter the following:

When installing a bridge at great height, there is a risk that the bridge or a tool might fall to the ground, causing injury. Cordon off the area immediately below the installation site to prevent access to the danger area. Use fall-arresting equipment. 5.3.3 Mounting bridge Drill four holes at a suitable location of installation. For the drill pattern, refer to the fixing tabs on the housing in the dimen-
sional drawing in chapter 3 Technical data. Secure the bridge with four bolts to the machine. Adjust the antenna roughly. Note Radio approval The antenna on the bridge is installed at the factory and must not be removed. Contact PRFTECHNIK, if you want to use a different type of antenna or if you need to extend the original antenna from an enclosure with an antenna cable. VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012 36 Installation and commissioning 5.3.4 Connecting bridge CAUTION Risk of injury from electric shock!
When connecting the bridge to the power supply without taking the necessary safety precautions, there is a risk of energy from high voltage (220 V). The electrical connection must be established by a qualified electrician. The mains voltage must conform to the IEC guidelines. An external interface (fuse or switch) must be provided in order to disconnect the power supply securely. Before carrying out any installation, repair or maintenance work on the bridge, disconnect it from the power supply. Note Risk of damage to equipment while housing is open!
Touching the electronic components on the mother board can lead to electrostatic discharge, which can damage system components. If contact with such components cannot be excluded, wear an earthing wristband. Remove the dummy plugs from the cable entries. Network Cable Feed the network cable through the left gland. Drag one of the enclosed ferrite sleeves over the cable end. Connect the bridge to the data network (see also '5.3.6 Over-

Contact PRFTECHNIK, if you want to use a different type of antenna or if you need to extend the original antenna from an enclosure with an antenna cable. Note Risk of damage to equipment while housing is open!
Touching the electronic components on the mother board can lead to electrostatic discharge, which can damage the sensor unit. If contact with such components cannot be excluded, wear an earthing wristband. Adjust the antenna roughly. Open the sensor unit housing by loosening the two screws of the cover (size 2.5 Allen screws). Insert the batteries or connect the sensor unit to the 24 V power source respectively (see also '5.4.4 Connecting sensor unit', page 45). Connect a voltmeter to terminals 11 and 12. Short-circuit terminals 5 and 6 with a wire bridge. Note The sensor unit now sends repeat requests for a measuring con-
figuration to the bridge. If the bridge is within the transmission range of the sensor unit, it responds by sending a measuring con-
figuration or a test log without data content. By short-circuiting terminals 5 and 6, the bridge and the sensor unit remain in perma-
nent communication, and the reception field strength at terminals 11 and 12 is indicated in the form of a voltage level. Check the voltage at the eligible locations of installation. Wait for approx. 3 4 seconds until the reception /voltage has stabilized. U > 0.1 V: Reception OK Umax. = 1.25 V VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012 Installation and commissioning 43 After completion of the field strength measurement, remove the short-circuit bridges and the voltmeter. If you do not intend to commission the sensor unit at that point in time, remove one of the batteries to save energy. Note Maintaining battery charge Until the sensor unit has received a valid measuring configuration from the bridge, it continuously sends out requests, using battery power. If you wish to program the measuring configuration at a later stage, switch off battery-powered sensor units by removing one battery. Note IC (Industry Canada) Under Industry Canada regulations, the sensor unit may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the sensor unit by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radi-
ated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012 44 Installation and commissioning 5.4.3 Mounting sensor unit CAUTION Risk of injury from rotating machine parts!
When installing the sensor unit while the machine is running, there is a risk of serious injury caused by exposed, moving machine parts. Do not remove any guards on the machine. Always adhere to the safety instructions for work on running machinery. Install the sensor unit at the location with the best possible radio reception. Drill two mounting holes. For the drill pattern, refer to the fixing tabs on the housing in the dimensional drawing in chapter 3 Technical data. Secure the sensor unit with two bolts to the machine. Note It is also possible to use one sensor unit to monitor two separate machines of a machine train, for example in cases where only the bearing at the coupling side of the motor and the pump are to be monitored. It is, however, not possible to monitor two separate machine trains with a single sensor unit. Document the location of installation of the sensor unit in the measurement location report: Each sensor unit is supplied with an adhesive label on which the MAC address of the sensor unit is printed. Remove this label and stick it to the measurement location report beside the name of the respective machine or machine train. Adhere the MAC address of the sensor unit on the measurement location report. 1B-8F-DC-4C-00-38 1B-8F-DC-4C-00-36 VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012 Installation and commissioning 45 5.4.4 Connecting sensor unit Note The sensor cables must only be connected to the sensor unit after the sensors have been installed, so that you have the option to extend or shorten the cables if required (see also '5.5 Installation of sensors', page 47). Open the sensor unit and feed the sensor cable through the cable gland provided. Connect the four tinned cable strands to the respective terminals for sensor 1 and sensor 2 (see also '5.4.1 Overview of connec-
tions and interfaces', page 40). Note Each sensor can measure two channels. The assignment of the channels to the terminals is pre-configured as shown in the diagram below. Sensor 1 Sensor 2 Terminal CHANNEL Function 1 r o s n e S 2 r o s n e S 1 2 3 4 13 14 15 16

Secure the batteries where appropriate with the included clamp bars Note Maintaining battery charge Until the sensor unit has received a valid measuring configuration from the bridge, it continuously sends out requests, using battery power. If you wish to program the measuring configuration at a later stage, switch off battery-powered sensor units by removing one battery. Clamp bar for battery VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012 Installation and commissioning 47 5.5 Installation of sensors For proper installation of the sensors on site, the operator must ensure that the following requirements are met:
location of installation The sensors are secured to the machine with the supplied M8 threaded bolt or with a suitable mounting adapter. Observe the rules for the choice of measurement locations for vibration measurements. Permissible ambient conditions Temperature:
Relative air humidity:
The sensors must not be installed in a location that is near a strong electromagnetic field (e.g. generator, high-voltage cable, electric drive unit, etc.). 40 C to +125 C max. 95 %, non-condensing tools and materials Mounting adapter: Screw adapter (VIB 3.480*), adhesive adapter
(VIB 3.418), magnetic adapter (VIB 3.423). For special tools and auxiliary materials required for the attachment of the various adapters, see chapter for adapter installation. Standard tools for electrical installation (wire cutter, cable stripper, screwdriver). Suitable strain relief devices for cables. 5.5.1 Choosing the measurement locations When choosing a location of installation for a sensor observe the following rules to ensure optimum signal transmission:
Mount sensor in radial measuring direction (i.e. perpendicular to shaft, in vertical or horizontal position). Axial measurement locations are recommended to monitor the machine for the following defects or faults: Misalignment, damaged geared wheels, loose fixtures, bent shafts, etc. Machines mounted on rigid foundations show high horizontal vibration. Fixed anchoring suppresses vertical vibration. Machines mounted on vibration-damped foundations show vibration that is equally strong in horizontal and vertical direc-
tion. The frequency behavior and dynamic range of the sensor can be significantly influenced by the way the sensor is attached. Weak coupling to the measurement location results in attenu-
ated signals and limits the frequency range. The sensor must be secured to the measurement location in a rigid, friction-locked
* included in scope of delivery VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012 48 Installation and commissioning way and free of contact resonance. This is particularly important for measurements at high frequency. Suitable measurement locations on the machine radial, vertical axial axial radial, horizontal 5.5.2 Mounting sensor CAUTION Risk of injury from rotating machine parts!
When installing the sensors while the machine is running, there is a risk of serious injury caused by exposed, moving machine parts. Do not remove any guards on the machine. Always adhere to the safety instructions for work on running machinery. Thanks to the compact design and cabling, the sensor can be installed in locations where limited space is available, using a suit-
able adapter. Screwing the sensor to the machine is, however, the most secure and stable option (VIB 3.480 adapter, included). The adapter with adhesive base (VIB 3.418) has been designed for attachment to measurement locations where it is not possible to drill holes, for example because the housing wall is not thick enough. For attach-
ment by magnetic force, use the VIB 3.423 magnetic adapter. Both adapters are available as accessories.

The minimum distance between the drill hole and the protruding edges of the sensor housing is 35 mm. Ensure that there is suf-
ficient space for the socket wrench used to tighten the adapter. Drill hole:
Using the 3.5 mm drill bit with depth gauge, pre-drill a hole of
> 15 mm. Drill out hole with 6.8 mm drill bit. Face the drill hole with the spot facer (depth: approx. 1 mm). Cut the thread (M8), thread length: > 12 mm. Note Ensure that it is permissible to drill a hole at the selected loca-
tion. For instructions, contact the machine manufacturer or refer to the machine documentation. 90 Drilling and facing hole, cutting thread 27 M8 0.52

(grade 220). Clean the contact faces at the adapter and the machine with solvent. Allow the contact faces to dry, apply a thin layer of screw locking agent (LOCTITE 243) to improve signal propagation. Screw the threaded bolt into the sensor and tighten it with a size 4 Allen key. Screw the sensor into the mounting hole and tighten it with a size 19 socket wrench. Tightening torque: 10 20 Nm!
Check the sensor for proper fixture (sensor must not rock). Notes Do not apply an excessive torque as this could damage the machine part or the thread at the sensor. If the tightening torque is too low, there might be insufficient contact between the sensor and the measurement location. Incorrect tightening torques result in incor-
rect measurements!
When installing sensors to machine parts that are not earthed
(e.g. belt-driven fans), connect the sensors to an earthing conduc-
tor to prevent static charging. Mounting sensor with adhesive adapter tools and auxiliary equiPment Hand drill and drill bit (3.5 mm) with depth gauge Compressed air to clean mounting point Two-component adhesive (e.g. WEICON HB 300) File and size 19 torque wrench Note Before mounting the adapter, shut down the machine. Do not restart the machine for a period of 24 hours to prevent mechanical vibration while the adhesive is curing. If the machine is restarted before the adhesive has properly cured, the adapter might become loose. This can cause damage to the sensor and / or to the machine. Incorrectly installed adhesive adapters can result in poor signal propagation to the sensor and measuring errors. VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012 51 Installation and commissioning installation Select mounting point:
In order to have sufficient space to apply the adhesive with a wooden spatula, keep a distance of minimum 35 mm between the adapter and the edges of the housing. Level and roughen surface:
Remove all paint from the mounting surface so that the adapter can be glued to bare metal (diameter of area > 30 mm). If neces-
sary, level the mounting area. To ensure proper adhesion, roughen the surface with a file and produce a diamond pattern of grooves. Optional:
Drill hole for securing pin. Depth: approx. 5 mm; diameter 3.6 mm. The securing pin is mounted on the base and features a self-
cutting thread; it can be removed, if necessary. Dimensions in mm 3,6 5 30 Level and roughen mounting surface Optional: Drill hole for securing pin
> 35 mm Clearance Clean the measurement location and mix the adhesive:
Clean the roughened mounting area and the adhesive base with a clean cloth and a suitable cleaning agent, such as a brake or clutch cleaner (residue-free degreasing agent). Allows the metal surfaces to dry fully. Mix the two adhesive components at a ratio of 1:1. After mixing, the adhesive must be applied within 15 minutes!
Apply adhesive to the surfaces:
Using a wooden spatula, apply a uniform layer of adhesive
(approx. 1 mm thick) to the base and the mounting area on the machine. VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012 52 Installation and commissioning Apply adhesive Press down and turn adapter Mount the adapter:
Press the adapter with minimum force against the mounting area and turn it slightly to distribute the adhesive evenly. Do not remove adhesive escaping at the side of the adapter. For extra stability, also apply adhesive around the adapter edge. Allow the adhesive to cure (approx. 24 h at room temperature). Note If required, secure the adapter during the first hour of the curing period with the magnetic gluing aid VIB 8.477 or adhesive tape. Check the adapter for proper fixture (adapter must not rock). Screw the sensor onto the adapter and tighten it with a size 19 socket wrench. Permissible tightening torque: 10 20 Nm!
Mounting sensor with magnetic adapter Note The magnetic adapter is obviously only suitable for attachment to ferromagnetic parts with adequate iron content. This mounting option is only recommended if screw mounting or attachment with adhesive adapter is not possible. Screw the magnetic adapter VIB 3.423 to the sensor and attach it to the measurement location. VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012 Installation and commissioning 53 5.5.3 Installing and connecting sensor line to sensor unit The sensor cable is permanently attached to the sensor. The other end of the cable must be connected to the sensor unit. Before installing the cable, mark the cable end with the sensor number to which it belongs. This ensures that there is no confu-
sion when connecting the cables to the sensor unit. Install the cables from the sensors to the sensor unit, using suit-
able equipment (cable ties, clips, ducts, etc.). Note Steel conduits protect the line against mechanical damage and also reduce EMC interference. Do not install the lines parallel to power supply lines. If parallel installation cannot be avoided, keep a minimum distance of 1 m between the power cable and the sensor data cable. At the sensor unit, produce a cable loop (length approx. 30 cm). This prevents strain to the cable during maintenance, etc. Connect the sensor line to the sensor unit (see also '5.4.4 Con-
necting sensor unit', page 45). VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012 54 Installation and commissioning 5.6 Configuration in OMNITREND (continued) After the system components have been installed and commis-
sioned, continue configuring the system in OMNITREND (see also
'5.2 Configuration in OMNITREND', page 29). The configura-
tion consists mainly of the following steps:
Registration of bridge and sensor units Assignment of system components to the measurement loca-
tions in the database Creation of measuring configurations and loading to bridge Reading of measurement data from bridge Evaluation of measurement data in OMNITREND Note These instructions assume that the operator is familiar with the OMNITREND software and its features The instructions below are therefore kept brief. 5.6.1 Registering bridge in OMNITREND In the main menu, click <Options> / <Registration / Configura-
tion>. In the Registration window (OMNITREND tab), check whether VIBCONNECT RF is the current OMNITREND version. If this is not the case, change the settings. Call up the Measurement Device tab. Click the <Get ID> button. Enter the IP address of the bridge in the Ethernet Setup window(see also '5.3 Installation & commissioning of bridge', page 32). If required, adjust the Subnet Mask and the Gate-

when bridge is shut down for maintenance. OMNITREND establishes a connection to the bridge, reads its serial number and indicates it in the ID field. Click the <Register Device> button. The bridge is now registered in OMNITREND and logged on. You do not need a password to register the bridge. VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012 56 Installation and commissioning 5.6.2 Registering sensor units in OMNITREND In the main menu, click <Options> / <Registration / Configu-
ration>. In the Registration window (OMNITREND tab), check whether VIBCONNECT RF is the current OMNITREND version. If this is not the case, change the settings. OMNITREND for 'VIB-
CONNECT RF' must be active. Call up the Measurement Device tab (see previous page). In the device list, select the bridge that is within the transmission range of the sensor unit(s). Note If there is more than one bridge in the system, you might need to check for every bridge whether the sensor unit is in its radio range and whether it has already established contact. To do this, select RF Sensor Units in the main menu of the bridge(see also '5.3.1 Changing IP address of bridge', page 32). VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012 Installation and commissioning 57 Click the <Edit> button. To register the sensor units in OMNITREND, click the <Add from device> button. In the Configuration window, click the <Add from device>
button. OMNITREND establishes a connection to the bridge and then lists all sensor units that are within the radio range of the bridge and have sent requests for measuring configurations. Other buttons in the 'RF Sensor Unit' field:
<Edit>: Change the name of the sensor unit.
<Remove>: Delete sensor unit from the OMNITREND database. On the bridge, the relevant sensor unit is not deleted.
<Add manually>: Add a sensor unit to the bridge by entering a name and the individual MAC address. The sensor unit must be ready for operation and located in the reception area of the bridge. Note Each sensor unit is clearly identified by its unique MAC address. Sensor units can thus be identified with reference to the com-
pleted measurement location report. Click the <OK> button. The sensor units are now available in OMNITREND and can be assigned to the measurement locations. VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012 58 Installation and commissioning 5.6.3 Assigning measurement locations in the data-
base to a sensor unit and bridge The measurement location report contains all information regard-
ing the assignment of channels to measurement locations. The respective sensor units are identified in OMNITREND by means of their MAC address. In systems with several bridges, you can assign the sensor units to any available bridge. However, the following issues should be kept in mind for proper assignment:
Select the bridge with the best reception: At every bridge select RF Sensor Units in the main menu, and check the receive level of the sensor unit you wish to assign (see also '5.3.1 Changing IP address of bridge', page 32). Maximum 50 sensor units can be assigned to each bridge. VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012 Installation and commissioning 59 Procedure In OMNITREND, open the Machinery Manager.

<Measuring Task>. In the measuring task dialog, activate option <Select Setup Directly>. Select the applicable measuring task and click the <Next> button. In the next window, click the <Create> button. If you wish to set up another vibration measuring task, repeat the above steps (max. 4 tasks per measurement location). For the calculation of the characteristic vibration values, define the respective band analysis in the alarm wizard. The characteristic values are calculated from a spectrum by means of band analyses VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012 Installation and commissioning 61 Note VIBCONNECT RF calculates the characteristic vibration values from a spectrum, using frequency bands. These bands are preset in the alarm wizard and are then assigned as a subordinate measuring task Bank analysis (Trending Task) to the respective spectrum. For more information, please refer to the OMNITREND online help. Time interval of idle phase Select the machine train in which the sensor unit is installed. Call up the Train Data tab. Adjust the time interval as required (30 minutes to 1 week). If t > 1 day and t = 1 week, also enter the time and day of the week at which the measurement is to be started. Time interval for idle phase of sensor unit VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012 62 Installation and commissioning 5.6.5 Loading measuring configurations to the bridge In the main menu, click The data transfer starts automatically. If there are several bridges

tering bridge in OMNITREND', page 54). The measuring configuration is only forwarded by the bridge to the sensor unit after it has woken up from its idle phase. To force instant transmission, switch the sensor unit off and on again. 5.6.6 Importing measurement data in OMNITREND Note The measurement import must be started manually in the OMNITREND software. Alternatively, the import can also be au-
tomated through a Windows task. For details, see the Technical Release # 21, available for free on the PRFTECHNIK homepage. Ensure that the data is regularly written to OMNITREND. Other-
wise, the memory capacity of the bridge might be exceeded so the oldest measurements are automatically overwritten with the latest ones. In the main menu, click The data import starts automatically. If there are several bridges registered in OMNITREND, they are accessed in sequence (see above).

It may not be used for data transmission. This IP address is fixed for all devices and can not be changed. Check the bridge to ensure that the power LED at the power supply is on. Check the power source, cables and electrical con-
nection. If necessary, re-establish the power connection. VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012 69 Troubleshooting CAUTION Risk of injury from electric shock!
When carrying out installation, repair or maintenance work on the power supply system of the bridge, there is a risk of injury from electric shock (220 V voltage). All work on the power supply system must be carried out by a qualified electrician. Disconnect the bridge from the power supply. If the firmware is damaged, the bridge will reboot after power interruption in the 'Rescue Mode'. It is then only accessible via the default IP address:
http://192.168.1.178/
In the main menu, you can only load a new firmware to the bridge. After successful transfer, click on <Install Firmware> to start the installation process and reboot the new bridge. Note If a fault cannot be rectified by any of the above measures, please contact our technical support team (see also '1.2 Service ad-
dresses', page 5). VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012 70 Decommissioning and disposal PRFTECHNIK Condition Monitoring WEEE Reg. No.:
