  • Page 44 Installation User Guide July 2020 MHM-97927-PBF 4. Set the device in the proper orientation. Make sure that your planes are in the right direction. The Z plane should be vertical. The orientation of the X and Y axis depends on how you configured your device. To make sure that your X and Y axis stay where they are, use an allen wrench or a small screwdriver while you torque down the device to make sure that everything stays in the correct position.

  • Page 53: Overall Velocity, Peakvue, And Temperature

    The AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor uses (lower-frequency) Overall Velocity in conjunction with (higher-frequency) PeakVue to provide a holistic solution across all frequencies while optimizing the usage of the limited power and bandwidth available in a wireless device.
  • Page 54 Velocity, so ensure that the measurement conditions are similar when trying to duplicate the value reported by the AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor with a handheld. The AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor uses ISO 10816, which defines a measurement bandwidth of 2 Hz to 1 kHz.
  • Page 55 For this reason, the AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor measures, calculates, and reports Overall Velocity in RMS, and it is necessary to multiply by 1.4142 to get the corresponding peak levels if this is the preferred format.
  • Page 56 1.0 in/s PeakVue ™ PeakVue is a patented Emerson technology that is very useful for isolating high- frequency phenomena associated with developing faults, especially in rolling-element bearings. The premise for PeakVue is that the high-frequency components are not readily detected with more conventional measurements such as Overall Velocity, low-frequency energy (LFE), or digital overall.
  • Page 57 For frequent automated monitoring, such as that offered by the AMS Wireless Vibration Monitor, the levels can be increased for most balance of plant equipment running between 900 and 4000 RPM. You can use the "rule of tens" as a simple but effective approach to monitoring PeakVue on most rolling element bearing machines.
