1-2 Introduction
How to Use
There are two intended audiences for this manual: the plant appointed project
manager, and the contractor. As such, it is important that each understand how
to make use of this document.

Warning!
All wiring should be installed by a trained and qualified electri-
cian. Wiring must conform to all applicable local codes and regu-
lations. Local codes and regulations regarding wire type, wire size,
color codes, insulation voltage ratings, and any other standards
must be followed.

Warning!
Power to the CSI 4500 Machinery Health Monitor power converter
PCB must include a remote disconnect switch or circuit breaker.
The switch or circuit breaker must be in close proximity to the
equipment and within easy reach of the operator.

Caution!
Use of the CSI 4500 Machinery Health Monitor AC-DC Power
converter in a manner not specified by Emerson may impair pro-
tection offered by the equipment.

Plant Appointed Project Manager


The project manager will be involved in budgeting money for the installation
work, setting schedules, procuring bids from contractors, and supervising the
system install. Therefore, it is important that the project manager understand the
scope of work which is involved with an on-line system installation which can
be properly estimated by reviewing each section of this manual. Furthermore,
this manual is divided into sections:
• Pre-Installation Review

How to Use 1-3


• System Documentation
• Install Instrumentation
• Enclosure Mounting
• Cabling Requirements
• Wire Terminations.
These sections follow the natural progression of a system installation which
should make it easier for the project manager to estimate schedules and budgets
for the installation. Another important function of the project manager is to pro-
cure bids from contractors. Each contractor should receive a copy of this manual
and use that as a basis for their scope of work. Apart from the installation
manual, all the contractor should need is a copy of the system proposal and any
supplemental information for special purchases. When reviewing bids from
contractors it is very important that each contractor’s scope of work is based on
this installation manual and all exceptions are noted.
Before the contractor begins work, the project manager will have the important
duty of performing an installation review and creating proper system documen-
tation. The installation review, which may include a “Contractor Kickoff
Meeting” attended by a CSI 4500 online project manager, is intended to educate
everyone involved with the installation on requirements, deadlines, procedures,
etc. The installation review also requires the project manager to perform a final
walk-through of the installation site and determine if the purchased hardware is
adequate and if any additional hardware will be required.
System documentation is often neglected until an installation is completed. The
project manager must be in charge of creating proper system documentation for
the contractor before the installation begins. This includes assigning labels, cre-
ating system diagrams, and filling out cable administration charts. Having the
proper system documentation will make the contractor’s job easier and reduce
the number of mistakes made.
Finally the project manager should use this installation manual to validate the
work being performed by the contractor. Particular attention should be paid to
any “Notes” or “Cautions” within the document, which are the most common
causes of a poor installation.

1-4 Introduction
Contractor
The contractor will use this manual for two purposes: preparing a bid for the
system installation, and as a guide during the system installation. When pre-
paring a bid for the system installation, it is imperative that the contractor
reviews all parts of the manual that are specific to the installation and list any
exceptions to the manual within the bid. If the contractor takes no exceptions,
then it will be assumed that the bid covers the scope of work as defined in the
installation manual.
As an installation guide, it is not necessary that the installer be familiar with the
entire manual. The manual is written so a contractor when performing a certain
action, such as installing an AO322LC sensor, can turn to that particular section
and have a complete instruction set without referencing any other part of the
manual. This should make it easier when many people are involved with the
installation, each performing a specific function.

How to Use 1-5


Supplemental Information
This installation and configuration manual covers the standard online system
components. For specific customer installations, there will be non-standard
components purchased with the online system. For each of these components,
an installation guide supplement will be prepared by Emerson and included with
the installation guide. If a purchased component cannot be found in the installa-
tion guide, please contact your CSI 4500 Monitor project manager and request
an installation guide supplement.

1-6 Introduction
Where to Start
The chapters in this manual are intended to follow the natural progression of a
system installation. The plant assigned project manager needs to pay particular
attention to Chapter 2 “Pre-Installation Review” and Chapter 3 “System Docu-
mentation.” Contractors need to review Chapters 4-8 to fully understand the
scope of work involved in the online system installation. The following is a brief
summary of each chapter.

Chapter 2 Pre-Installation Review


The pre-installation review could also be called installation preparation. This
involves a “contractor kickoff meeting,” a final walkthrough of the installation
site, and examination of the delivered system components.

Chapter 3 System Documentation


System documentation is prepared before the system installation begins. This
involves assigning sensor names, wire tag designations, enclosure names, pre-
paring system layout diagrams, and filling out the cable administration charts.

Chapter 4 Install Instrumentation


The online system instrumentation includes the 322 family of accelerometers
and the 425 tachometer. This chapter covers the handling requirements, required
tools, and the installation procedures for each piece of instrumentation.

Chapter 5 Enclosure Mounting


The online system will have two types of enclosures: junction boxes (707 family
and the 745) and the CSI 4500. This chapter covers choosing proper enclosure
mounting locations and mounting procedures as well as preparing the CSI 4500
for conduit access.

Chapter 6 Cabling Requirements


This chapter covers conduit installation guidelines, network cabling guidelines,
power line specifications, and pulling the online instrumentation cabling as well
as the bundled (multi-pair) cable from junction boxes to the CSI 4500.

Where to Start 1-7


Chapter 7 Wire Terminations
Often the cause of most system failures, proper wire terminations within the
online system components is critical for a successful system startup. This
chapter covers routing, tagging, preparing, and terminating cables within the
V707, 727, 745 junction boxes and the CSI 4500.

Chapter 8 System Hardware Configuration


The CSI 4500 may be configured into a variety of configurations based on two
system racks. This chapter covers the hardware configuration for the CSI 4500.

1-8 Introduction
Chapter 2

Pre-Installation Review

Description
The pre-installation review is a short but important phase in a successful online
system implementation. Consisting of a “Contractor Kickoff Meeting,” final
walk-through, and a system component review, it is the responsibility of the
plant assigned project manager with the assistance of the CSI 4500 Monitor
online project manager or online system engineer to ensure this phase of the
system installation is completed successfully. The pre-installation review
accomplishes the following:
• Identify and Educate all parties involved in the online system installation
• Makes sure that all parties fully understands the scope of work
• Sets the system installation schedule
• Confirms that system components fit customer’s application
• Confirms that all necessary system components are on site and available.
• Confirms location of system components is appropriate
It is not uncommon for plants to schedule the “Contractor Kickoff Meeting,”
final walk-through, and system component review all in one day. This is espe-
cially beneficial when the CSI 4500 online project manager is attending the
“Contractor Kickoff Meeting” so that they may assist the plant assigned project
manager during the final walk-through and system component review. For this
reason it is also recommended that the online system has been shipped to the
customer site before installation work begins.

2-1
Contractor Kickoff Meeting
Although referred to as the “Contractor Kickoff Meeting,” this meeting brings
together all parties involved with the online system installation. Typically, this
will involve:
• Plant Assigned Project Manager
• CSI Online Project Manager or CSI Online Systems Engineer
• End User(s)
• Contractor Representative(s)
• Information Systems Representative(s).
The purpose of this meeting is to:
• Assign Responsibilities
• Review Scope of Work For Contractors
• Answer Any Installation Related Questions
• Review Customer Expectations of Installed System
• Tentatively Set Schedules for Installation.
Although many contractors will be educated on the system installation during
the bid process by reviewing the installation manual and the system documen-
tation (see Chapter 3). It is important to confirm that they fully understand the
scope of work by reviewing each part of the installation during this meeting. If
the system documentation has not been submitted to the contractors, this is the
time to do so.

2-2 Pre-Installation Review


Final Walk-Through
The final walk-through is attended by the plant assigned project manager, con-
tractor representative(s), and the CSI 4500 online project manager or online sys-
tems engineer. Using the system documentation (see chapter 3) as reference, this
is the opportunity to physically walk-through each part of the installation with
the contractor’s representative(s) and the vendor’s representative (online project
manager or online systems engineer) to review:
• Sensor Mounting Locations
• Cable Pulls
• Conduit/Cable Tray Use
• Enclosure Mounting Locations
• Environmental Concerns
• Hazardous Locations.

Final Walk-Through 2-3


System Component Review
The system component review confirms that the proper system components
have been shipped and that nothing has been lost or damaged during shipment.
The review should be attended by the plant assigned project manager, contractor
representative(s), and the CSI 4500 online project manager or online systems
engineer. It is the responsibility of the plant assigned project manager to gather
shipped components into an accessible area for the review process. The review
process simply consists of unpacking and inspecting system components to con-
firm all components are present. This is also the opportunity to familiarize the
plant assigned project manager and the contractor with the different system
components. In particular, the following items should be confirmed during the
review.
• Any non-standard system components
• Sensor mounting accessories (studs, mounting pads, quick-connects,
etc.)
• Manuals
• Junction box mounting tabs
• CSI 4500 board configurations
• CSI 4500 discrete input/output plug-in relays for correct configuration.

Chapter 2

System Documentation

Description
Often an overlooked part of the system installation, proper documentation of a
system installation will not only avoid problems during installation but will also
make system maintenance much more efficient. Unfortunately, many system
installations do not have documentation created until after an installation is
completed. A successful installation requires that proper system documentation
be created before a contractor begins working. Proper documentation includes:
system overview drawings showing the on-line system layout within the plant;
system layout drawings showing sensor and enclosure mounting locations; and
tags for all sensors, cables, and enclosures documented in cable administration
charts. This documentation must be given to a contractor before the installation
begins and preferably as part of the bid package. When an installation is fin-
ished, it is important that the documentation which has been maintained by the
plant assigned project manager is distributed to the proper plant personnel and
readily available for system maintenance and troubleshooting. The CSI 4500
data collection unit and junction/switch box enclosures include see-through
pouches for storing the on-line system documentation.

2-1
System Overview Drawings
The system overview drawings illustrate how system components interconnect.
These drawings are normally prepared by a CSI 4500 Online Business Devel-
opment Manager and included in the online system proposal during the sales
process. If these drawings were not part of the proposal or if the system has
changed significantly from the time the proposal was created, it will be neces-
sary for the plant assigned online systems engineer to create or update the draw-
ings. The following system drawings were taken from an on-line system
proposal.

Example of System Overview Drawing (overall)

2-2 System Documentation


Example of System Overview Drawing (Machine Level)

As illustrated, the system overview drawings should consist of an overall system


diagram and then machine level diagrams showing sensor locations. In general
the following information should exist on each diagram.
Overall System Diagram:
• CSI 4500
• Junction/Switch Boxes
• Cables
• CSI 4500 Network Segment Cables
• Tags for each CSI 4500, Junction/Switch box, and Cables
Machine Level Diagram:
• Machine with Tag
• Sensor Location with Tag

System Overview Drawings 2-3


• Junction/Switch Boxes with Tag
• Location on Plant Floor
Additional Information to Keep:
• IP address of online server
• IP addresses of CSI 4500s

Note
Each IP address should be linked to the corresponding CSI 4500.

2-4 System Documentation


System Layout Drawings
The system layout drawings illustrate exact locations for enclosure mounting,
conduit installation, cable pulls, and sensor mounting. These are prepared by the
plant assigned project manager utilizing facility blueprints. The most common
method for preparing these drawings is to copy blueprints of the plant floor/pro-
duction line and mark the system installation locations. Use color-coded high-
lights and symbols to mark the different types of cable runs and enclosure
mountings. The following is a recommended method of marking system layout
drawings.

System Layout Marking Guidelines

System Layout Drawings 2-5


Cable Administration Charts
Cable administration charts are a convenient way to document wire terminations
within system enclosures. Before the system installation begins and preferably
before bids are procured from contractors, the project manager should work
with the end user in the plant to determine sensor tags, enclosure tags, and cable
tags. There is no recommended method for assigning tags but the names should
be consistent and represent physical locations or machines. For instance, instead
of naming a sensor, 23001, which represents nothing, a more meaningful name
such as FAN1OV (fan number 1 outboard vertical) will make system mainte-
nance and troubleshooting much easier. After tags are assigned, it is important
to document these in cable administration charts. All enclosures for the CSI
online system will need to have cable administration charts created. For this
reason, each enclosure will include a special clear plastic pouch on the inside
cover of the enclosure to hold these cable administration charts for reference.
There are two types of cable administration charts for the online system: junc-
tion box and CSI 4500.

2-6 System Documentation


Junction Box
The online system junction boxes each serve the same purpose: to provide a
junction between the instrumentation cable and the multi-pair bundled cable
which is pulled back to the CSI 4500. The cable administration chart for a junc-
tion box simply documents the channel number, wire tag, sensor type, and
sensor location if the wire tag does not contain location information. The fol-
lowing is an example of the junction box cable administration chart for a typical
installation. These charts are shipped with the system and can be found inside
the online system junction boxes.

Junction Box Cable Administration Chart

Cable Administration Charts 2-7


CSI 4500 Enclosure
The CSI 4500 enclosure has several types of cable terminations with specific
termination locations. (See illustrations of CSI 4500 enclosures on page 7 - 4.)
The CSI 4500 consists of removable boards to allow several different configu-
rations. The CSI 4500 can include up to two SIG(nal) boards, a tach board, an
I/O board, and the DCM board. Each board has specific cable terminations
which must be documented in the cable administration charts. The cable admin-
istration charts for the CSI 4500 consist of two 8.5" x 11" pages and may be used
the for the CSI 4500M, CSI 4500T, and CSI 4500Q models. Templates are
included in the installation guide for the online system enginer to copy and fill
out.

CSI 4500S and CSI 4500MS Enclosures
The CSI 4500S and CSI 4500MS enclosures have one cable termination card for
the 8 sensors, 2 tachometers, and 2 discrete I/O. There is also a 10BaseT net-
work termination and an AC power termination. These are to be documented on
the CSI 4500S cable administration chart. A template for this chart has been
included. This template may also be used for the CSI 4500MS.

2-12 System Documentation
Documentation Storage
After the system installation is complete, it is the project manager’s job to
review the system documentation and make any revisions such as rerouted
cables, misspelled wire tags, etc. and make the necessary revisions in the system
documentation. The last step is to create copies of the completed system docu-
mentation and distribute to the appropriate plant personnel. One copy should be
sent to the CSI 4500 online project manager. This is also the appropriate time to
place the cable administration charts in the online enclosures. Each enclosure
contains a clear plastic pouch to allow easy reference by contractors and service
personnel. In each CSI 4500 enclosure, it is recommended that a copy of the
system overview and layout drawings be placed in the pouch for quick refer-
ence.

A0322RA Image & Outline Drawing

3-2 Install Instrumentation


Description
The A0322RI and A0322RA are general purpose accelerometers with 90-
degree integral cable connections. The A0322DR sensor is a general purpose
accelerometer and temperature sensor with a 90-degree cable connection.These
sensors are stud mounted or epoxy mounted to machinery surfaces and transmit
vibration data to the on-line monitoring system. The integral cable connection
joins the sensor housing at a 90-degree angle to provide a low-profile installa-
tion. The A0322RI has a distinguishing bright yellow polyurethane jacket for
easy identification. The A0322DR has a red polyurethane jacket, three wires
(signal/power, temperature, return) instead of two (signal/power and return),
and requires two channel connections to the CSI 4500. The A0322RA is con-
tained in a steel housing with an armored covered jacket.

Handling Instructions
General purpose accelerometers are susceptible to mechanical shock and there-
fore it is very important for installers to take precaution when handling sensors.
Do not drop, hammer, or impact the sensor housing before during or after instal-
lation. Mechanical shock loads of over 5000 g’s will damage sensor and void
manufacturer’s warranty.

Caution!
Do not drop, hammer, or impact sensor housing before, during, or
after installation.

When tightening down stud mounted accelerometers it is very important not to


exceed specified torque. Over-tightening of accelerometer will damage sensing
element and void manufacturer’s warranty.

Caution!
Do not exceed specified torque when tightening stud-mounted
accelerometers.

Although the integral cable has built in strain relief, it is important that the cable
not be strained with excessive pulling force during cable pulls. No more than 5-
lbs. force should be exerted directly on sensor connection during installation. It
is recommended that cable be secured to machine near the point of sensor instal-
lation if possible.

3-3
Caution!
Do not exert more than 5-lbs. pull force directly on sensor/cable
connection during wire pulls.

If sensor mounting occurs before cable is pulled in conduit or raceway to junc-


tion box it is important to leave cable bundled and secured to machine. Sensor
cable cannot be stepped on or severely kinked or permanent signal degradation
will occur. Also, cable bundle should not be placed in such a manner that it will
cause undue strain at the sensor/cable connection.

Stud Mounting

Note
Mounting location must provide a flat surface 1/2" in diameter. If
this is not possible, then an alternative mounting procedure must
be used. Do not proceed; contact project manager.

Note
Mounting location must provide a case thickness exceeding .4". If
this is not possible, then an alternative mounting procedure must
be used. Do not proceed; contact project manager.

1 . . Prepare the spot face and end milling tool by setting the drill bit depth to
a minimum of .325".
2 . . Using wire brush and plant approved cleaner, clean and degrease surface
area.
3 . . Keeping spot face and end milling tool perpendicular to machine surface,
drill into mounting location until face has a minimum finish of 63 micro
inches. This will require the spot facing tool to remove approximately
.04" from the face. The surface should be smooth to touch with no
noticeable irregularities. The surface must be uniform on all sides. If not,
then the tool was not engaged perpendicular to surface and the procedure
must be repeated in a different location.

Sensor Mounting

Note
If not ready to pull cables, it is recommended that sensors not be
mounted to machine. If it is necessary to mount a sensor, then the
bundled cable must be secured to the machine and protected from
damage.

1. . . If necessary, clean A0322 mounting stud threads using plant approved


degreaser/cleaner.
2. . . Apply a thin coating of Loc-Tite semi-permanent thread locker to threads
on sensor housing.
3. . . Place sensor onto A0322 and hold in desired position to create the least
amount of cable strain and cable exposure. Holding sensor, hand-tighten
9/16" captive nut and use a torque wrench with 9/16" open end to finish
tightening to 50-60 in-lbs.
4. . . Secure sensor cable to machine approximately 4" to 5" from mounting
location using an appropriate size cable clamp. Do not exceed bending
radius of 2.8".
5. . . If not ready to perform cable pulls, it will be necessary to secure bundled
sensor cable to machine in such a manner that no strain is placed on
integral sensor/cable connector. Bundled cable must not be left hanging
from sensor nor should bundled cable be exposed to damage such as on
the plant floor, maintenance access footholds, etc.

Description
The A0322LC is a general purpose accelerometer with a top exit integral con-
nection. The A0322DS is a general purpose accelerometer and temperature
sensor with a top exit integral connection. The sensors are stud mounted or
epoxy mounted to machinery surfaces and transmit vibration data to the on-line
monitoring system. The integral cable connection enters the top of the sensor
housing. An optional quick release connection, A0322LC-NT can be purchased
to allow the A0322LC or A0322DS to be easily removed from machine for
maintenance.

Handling Instructions
General purpose accelerometers are susceptible to mechanical shock and there-
fore it is very important for installers to take precaution when handling sensors.
Do not drop, hammer, or impact the sensor housing before during or after instal-
lation. Mechanical shock loads of over 5000 g’s will damage sensor and void
manufacturer’s warranty.

Caution!
Do not drop, hammer, or impact sensor housing before, during, or
after installation.

When tightening down stud mounted accelerometers it is very important not to


exceed specified torque. Over tightening of accelerometer will damage sensing
element and void manufacturer’s warranty.

Caution!
Do not exceed specified torque when tightening stud-mounted
accelerometers.

Although the integral cable has built in strain relief, it is important that the cable
not be strained with excessive pulling force during cable pulls. No more than 5
lbs. force should be exerted directly on sensor connection during installation. It
is recommended that cable be secured to machine near the point of sensor instal-

A0322RM

Description & Handling Instructions

A0322RM Image & Outline Drawing

A0322RM 3-27
Description
The A0322RM is a general purpose accelerometer with 90-degree MIL-2 pin
connection. These sensors are stud mounted or epoxy mounted to machinery
surfaces and transmit vibration data to the on-line monitoring system. The MIL-
2 pin connection joins the sensor housing at a 90-degree angle to provide a low-
profile installation.

Handling Instructions
General purpose accelerometers are susceptible to mechanical shock and there-
fore it is very important for installers to take precaution when handling sensors.
Do not drop, hammer, or impact the sensor housing before during or after instal-
lation. Mechanical shock loads of over 5000 g’s will damage sensor and void
manufacturer’s warranty.

Caution!
Do not drop, hammer, or impact sensor housing before, during, or
after installation.

When tightening down stud mounted accelerometers it is very important not to


exceed specified torque. Over tightening of accelerometer will damage sensing
element and void manufacturer’s warranty.

Caution!
Do not exceed specified torque when tightening stud-mounted
accelerometers.

Although the integral cable has built in strain relief, it is important that the cable
not be strained with excessive pulling force during cable pulls. No more than 5-
lbs. force should be exerted directly on sensor connection during installation. It
is recommended that cable be secured to machine near the point of sensor instal-
lation if possible.

Caution!
Do not exert more than 5-lbs. pull force directly on sensor/cable
connection during wire pulls.

3-28 Install Instrumentation


If sensor mounting occurs before cable is pulled in conduit or raceway to junc-
tion box it is important to leave cable bundled and secured to machine. Sensor
cable cannot be stepped on or severely kinked or permanent signal degradation
will occur. Also, cable bundle should not be placed in such a manner that it will
cause undo strain at the sensor/cable connection.

Pull Instrumentation Wiring
Description
The on-line instrumentation wiring is a polyurethane jacketed, twisted pair,
shielded, instrumentation cable used to transmit millivolt level instrumentation
signals to the online system. The cable is designed to provide noise shielding
and protection within harsh industrial environments. The instrumentation wire
is pulled to the junction/switch boxes where it is joined to bundled, multi-pair
cabling ran back to the CSI 4500. Because the instrumentation to junction box
pull is relatively short (<50 feet) and close to the machinery, it is not normally
enclosed in conduit although conduit will be required for specific applications.
Care must be taken to ensure that exposed cabling is secured to machinery and
plant infrastructure so as to not interfere with maintenance or cause safety haz-
ards.

System Hardware Configuration

Introduction

Description
The CSI 4500 Machinery Health Monitor is a multi-channel, multi-tasking,
multi-processor data acquisition system primarily intended for monitoring
heavy industrial rotating machinery. Typical signal inputs are dynamic AC
machine vibration signatures from accelerometers, velocity probes, or prox-
imity probes. These signals include two components: the dynamic AC compo-
nent, which represents machine vibration, and a DC component, which
represents the sensor bias level. In the case of a proximity probe, the DC com-
ponent represents the gap, or average distance between the probe tip and the
machine shaft. Other signal inputs include process signals; these are DC param-
eters such as temperature or pressure.
Tachometer inputs are used to determine machine speed. These tachometer sig-
nals are typically generated from a proximity probe or passive magnetic sensor
positioned at a machine shaft keyway or gear, producing a pulse train (not nec-
essarily 1x machine speed) representing the machine phase and running speed.
A final class of inputs are digital inputs which represent machine states, such as
running, off, starting, etc. These inputs are used to control or modify the data
acquisition state. Common state control inputs are relay closures or machine
RPM. AC or DC signal levels can also be used for state control.

Monitoring Methods
The CSI 4500 uses three basic data monitoring methods.

8-1
Overall Level Monitoring
Overall Level Monitoring is defined as (1) the acquisition of the overall level of
the dynamic AC vibration signal, typically the RMS value of the signal, and/or
(2) the DC sensor bias level, or (3) measurement of a DC process signal. Note
that all these signal inputs are DC values (The RMS value is a DC value propor-
tional to the overall energy content of the AC signal). The Overall Level inputs
are multiplexed into a fast successive approximation ADC controlled by the CSI
4500 DCM. Overall Level Monitoring is a continuous process, with all input
channels AC+DC measured twice every second. When the Transient option is
included, true waveform Peak-to-Peak may be included in Overall Level Mon-
itoring.

Spectral Scan
Spectral Scan is defined as the acquisition and analysis of dynamic AC signals
only. The signals are acquired, two channels at a time (referred to as CHX and
CHY), with a dual channel delta-sigma ADC controlled by the system DSP. The
DSP performs analysis of the acquired time waveforms and transmits the results
to the CPU host processor. Preprogrammed groups of Spectral Scan measure-
ment parameters (AP Sets) may be assigned to specific machine state conditions
to tailor data acquisition to specific machine operational states.

Transient Data Capture


Transient data capture is the acquisition of continuous time waveforms of
dynamic AC signals. Transient data is captured in parallel for all channels.
Other data stored as Transient data include 1/sec Overall Level data, tach pulse
records, and acquisition timestamps. The Transient data is stored on hard disk,
and is available for real time analysis via Ethernet.

8-2 System Hardware Configuration


CSI 4500 System Configuration
The CSI 4500 system may be configured into a variety of configurations based
on two system racks.
The CSI 4500R Monitor supports one or two signal input modules, one tachom-
eter input module, one relay module, a G1 CPU module, and an AC or DC
power supply.
The CSI 4500M Monitor supports one or two signal input modules, one tachom-
eter input module, one relay module, a G2 CPU module, and an AC or DC
power supply.
The CSI 4500T Monitor supports two signal input modules, one tachometer
input module, one relay module, a G2 CPU module, a CSI 4500 Transient
Daughterboard, one or two Transient Filter Boards, and an AC power supply.
The CSI 4500S Monitor supports one multi-signal input module, a G1 CPU
module, and an AC or DC power supply.
The CSI 4500MS Monitor supports one multi-signal input module, a G2 CPU
module, and an AC or DC power supply. The CSI 4500MS Monitor is not
upgradeable to transient capability.
The CSI 4500Q Monitor supports one or two signal input modules, one tachom-
eter input module, one relay module, a G2 CPU module, and an AC or DC
power supply.

Installation Considerations

Signal Quality
The data collected by the CSI 4500 system can only be as good as the signals
presented at the CSI 4500 inputs. Typically, signals from sensors such as accel-
erometers are of millivolt levels. Signals of this magnitude can easily be over-
whelmed by interference from any number of sources in an industrial
environment.

Sensor Cable Type


Shielded-twisted-pair cable is recommended for all CSI 4500 System sensor
inputs. Conductor size can vary from 22 to 16 AWG. This type of cable provides
protection from both low frequency interference such as 50Hz-60Hz sources
due to the twisting, and protection due to RF and static discharge sources due to
the overall shielding.
Coaxial cable is not recommended. This type of cable has lower immunity to
50Hz-60Hz interference.
If multiple twisted-pair is used, it must be of the type that maintains an isolated
100% shield for each cable pair.

Sensor Cable Routing


Sensor cables should be routed in grounded conduit or in cable trays reserved
for low voltage control type signals. Sensor cables must not be routed through
conduit or cable trays containing AC power lines. If low voltage sensor cables
are routed in cable trays containing AC power cables, it is likely that line fre-
quency components will be induced into the sensor signals. These induced com-
ponents can be larger than the actual signal from the sensors.
Accelerometer, velometer, and passive magnetic tachometer cable distance is
limited to 500ft, 150m. Displacement sensor cable distance from amplifier is
limited to 1000ft, 300m.

Note
Distances are reduced if non-standard cable is used.

Installation Considerations 8-5


Note
Displacement probe power signals should be individually fused, so
that a single probe failure (short), does not disable other probes.

Ethernet Cable Routing


Ethernet cables should be routed in grounded conduit or in cable trays reserved
for low voltage control type signals. Ethernet cables must not be routed through
conduit or cable trays containing AC power lines. If ethernet cables are routed
in cable trays containing AC power cables, it is likely that line frequency com-
ponents will be induced into the ethernet cable.
Ethernet cable distance is limited to 300ft,100m.

Grounding and Shielding


The shield termination of each shielded twisted pair cable must be terminated as
required by the particular installation. If the cable shield is connected to the
sensor case or the sensor cable “-” conductor at the sensor side, the cable shield
should not be connected at the CSI 4500 input side. The shield connection at the
CSI 4500 inputs is connected directly to the CSI 4500 chassis ground. There-
fore, if a shield connection has also been made at the sensor side, a noise current,
typically at line frequency, can flow in the shield conductor. Voltage produced
by this noise current will then be coupled into the sensor signal lines. This con-
dition is referred to as a “ground loop.”
In general, the shield should be connected at either the sensor end or the CSI
4500 end of the cable, but not both. However, this is just a guideline. If the pri-
mary noise pickup problem in a sensor line is due to static or RF frequency
sources, the shield connection should be tied at both ends to provide a better
shield for this condition. If this causes a ground loop condition, the shield con-
nection can be made at the CSI 4500 end via a resistor or capacitor, which will
break the ground loop current flow while still providing some measure of
overall shielding.
It is important to realize that there is no “best” way to terminate cable shields.
Shield termination sometimes must be determined on a sensor by sensor basis
to correct noise problems of the particular installation.

8-6 System Hardware Configuration


Cable Terminations
Cables should be terminated neatly at the CSI 4500 system inputs. The outer
cable coverings should not be stripped back farther than necessary, and the
exposed cable shields should not be allowed to touch from cable to cable. The
shields should be cut back as little as possible so that the minimum of unshielded
signal conductors are exposed.
Cables should be clearly marked at the CSI 4500 inputs with labels indicating
the sensor location.
Sufficient cable slack should be left in the bottom of the CSI 4500 enclosure so
that CSI 4500 modules can be removed without having to remove the cable
input plugs from the CSI 4500 module. Extra cable can also prevent having to
pull new cables if wiring mistakes are made when terminating the sensor lines.

Junction Boxes
In many installations, sensor cables are connected via junction boxes. In this
case, the cable “+,” “-,” and shield connections must be maintained from input
to output. Shield connections must not be allowed to touch from cable to cable,
and shields must not be connected to the local junction box ground.
Cables should be terminated in the junction boxes following the recommenda-
tions of the previous section.

System Grounding
For personnel safety and correct system operation, the CSI 4500 system must be
grounded properly. The CSI 4500 enclosure should be bolted to a grounded
beam or wall. A grounding wire must also be connected from the CSI 4500
enclosure to a nearby earth ground. Use a minimum 14 AWG stranded cable for
grounding.
Inside the CSI 4500 enclosure, verify grounding wires from the CSI 4500
chassis to the enclosure frame, and from the enclosure door to the enclosure
frame have been installed.

Installation Considerations 8-7


CSI 4500 SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT
The CSI 4500 system has been designed to withstand moderate industrial con-
ditions. The maximum allowable ambient temperature for the CSI 4500R,
4500M, 4500S, or 4500MS system enclosure is 120(degrees)F, 48(degrees)C.
The CSI 4500 system enclosure should never be mounted in direct sunlight. The
CSI 4500 system enclosure should be kept sealed so that water leakage and con-
densation does not occur.
CSI 4500 system enclosures installed in 100F to 120F ambient environments
should have the CSI 4500 Fan Tray installed to eliminate “hot spots” in the CSI
4500 enclosure. CSI 4500 system enclosures installed in locations exceeding
120F must be actively cooled. CSI 4500 system enclosures mounted in locations
that are colder than 32F should be actively heated. Thermostats should be used
inside the CSI 4500 enclosure to keep the temperatures between 50F and 100F
for maximum system reliability.

Note
Temperatures inside the CSI 4500 enclosures can exceed 140F
when ambient temperatures reach 120F. While the CSI 4500
system has been tested to operate reliably in temperatures this
high, it should be realized that the CSI 4500 electronics would age
at much higher rates than electronics maintained below 100F. It is
therefore recommended that active cooling be employed to keep
the CSI 4500 system electronics below 100F at all times for max-
imum system reliability and longevity.

Note
The use of a hard drive on the CSI 4500 Transient Daughterboard
places strict temperature limits on the CSI 4500 system. The CSI
4500 Fan Tray (PN B4500FT) must be used. Ambient temperature
must be limited to 30C, 86F.

8-8 System Hardware Configuration


Note
The use of an enclosure with the CSI 4500MS places strict temper-
ature limits on its use. The CSI 4500 Fan Tray (PN B4500FT) must
be used. Ambient temperature must be mlimited to 30C, 86F.

Installation Considerations 8-9


CSI 4500M G2 Processor Card
PN B4532MB
The CSI 4500 G2 Processor Module is a redesigned version of the original CSI
4500 DCM (Data Collection Module). Improvements include: greater Spectral
resolution, bandwidth, and overall data collection speed, dual port 100BaseT
Ethernet, larger on board memory, improved calibration generator, ability to
monitor power supply voltages, integral data display, front panel Sysfail Relay
and calibration port, and support for the Transient Daughterboard.
The CSI 4500 G2 Processor Module provides all data acquisition, data storage,
and data communications functions for the CSI 4500 system. The CSI 4500 G2
Processor Module is capable of simultaneous, continuous measurement of two
channels for detailed Spectral analysis, thirty-two RMS and DC values for
Gross Scan measurements, up to sixteen tachometers for machine speed mea-
surement, and up to sixteen digital state inputs.
Gross Scan values, tachometer values, and digital input states may be combined
logically to determine machine operating state, which may be used to define
specific data acquisition states. The system can be configured to transmit and
store data on either time interval or based on the amount of change of the data
values.
Two 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports and one RS-232 serial port are provided for
system communications and diagnostics. Additional front panel ports provide
access to calibration and signal diagnostic connections, and a dry contact SPDT
“Sysfail” relay. (See diagram on page 7 - 16.) This relay is energized when the
CSI 4500 CSI 4500 G2 Processor CPU successfully boots. On a CPU failure or
power loss, the relay will de-energize.

Note
Sysfail relay may not be used for other, e.g., vibration monitoring,
purposes.

The CSI 4500 G2 Processor Module may be configured to download its opera-
tional firmware via Ethernet upon every boot, or operate on firmware which has
been stored in FLASH memory.

8-10 System Hardware Configuration


The CSI 4500 G2 Processor Module has an on-board signal generator capable
of producing sinusoidal and DC signals which are routed to the input modules
during system calibration and on Power On Self Test (POST). The function gen-
erator should be recalibrated at least once a year with a NIST traceable volt
meter. Consult the Appendix for specific procedures to calibrate the CSI 4500
system.
The CSI 4500 G2 Processor Module automatically detects input module type
and configuration, and only permits database configurations based on the
existing card set.
The CSI 4500 G2 Processor Module supports the CSI 4500 Transient Daughter-
board, which add 32 channel parallel time waveform acquisition capabilities to
the CSI 4500 system.

CSI 4500 Signal Input Module


The CSI 4500 Signal Input module allows acquisition of data from up to sixteen
sensors. The sensor types include accelerometer, passive velocity, active
velocity, and displacement. The CSI 4500 Signal Input Module will also accept
non-specific AC or DC inputs from any source that conforms to the CSI 4500
input range limits.
The CSI 4500 Signal Input Module provides the following programmable func-
tions for each channel: Input Attenuator /1, /2, Gain x1, x10, integrator on, off.
The combination of input attenuator and gain setting provide four input range
combinations as shown in Table 1.

Installation Considerations 8-17

Attenuator Gain Input Range +/-


/2 x1 10.0v, 100g, 100ips, 50mil

/2 x10 1.0v, 10g, 10ips, 5mil
/1 x10 0.5v, 5g, 5ips, 2.5mil

The integrator allows acceleration signals to be converted to velocity.


The CSI 4500 Signal Input Module selects two of the sixteen channels at a time
and routes them to the CSI 4500 G1 or G2 Module for Spectral analysis. RMS-
to-DC conversion DC filtering is performed on all sixteen channels. The RMS
and DC signals are routed to the CSI 4500 G1 or G2 module for Overall Level
collection.
The CSI 4500 Signal Input Module accepts the CSI 4500 Transient Filter Board.
The CSI 4500 Transient Filter Board is required for Transient data acquisition.
4-20mA signals may be measured provided a resistor is added across the
channel input. A typical value is 250 ohms, which converts 4-20mA to 1-5 volts.
A typical value is 250 ohms which converts 4-20mA to 1-5 Volts. Maximum
series resistor value is 1000 ohms.
To make DC measurements with a input range greater than +/-10VDC (such as
thrust), input scaling resistors must be added to the sensor input (when using
Machiner Health Manager software versions 4.9x and earlier.) See “Modifying
the CSI 4500 Input Ratio to Accept DC Process Signals Greater Than +/- 10

CSI 4500 Tachometer Input Module
The CSI 4500 Tachometer Input Module allows measurement of up to sixteen
pulse tachometer sources. Tachometer sensor types may include, but are not
limited to: Active displacement sensor, passive magnetic, or TTL pulse type
from various sources.
The CSI 4500 Tachometer Input Module features either fixed voltage trigger or
“adaptive” automatic triggering. Triggering parameters may be set indepen-
dently for each tachometer sensor input.
An input gain selection of x1 or x5 may be selected for each channel. A gain of
x5 is recommended for tachometer inputs smaller than 1V pk-pk. If the x5 input
gain is used, care should be taken to make sure that the input signal remains
within +/-24V, including any sensor bias or gap voltage.
A hardware frequency divider is provided for the AUX0, AUX1, and SPEC-
TRAL channels which may be configured from divide-by-2 to divide-by-65536.
A hardware divider is provided for the TRAN0 - TRAN3 channels may be con-
figured from divide-by-2 to divide-by-256.
An “edge select” is provided for the AUX0, AUX1, and SPECTRAL channels
which inverts the post trigger pulse waveform.
The CSI 4500 Tachometer Input Module produces seven triggered outputs
which are routed to the CSI 4500 G1 or G2 Module: AUX0 and AUX1, which
are routed to the G1 or G2 Module for Overall Level acquisition, SPECTRAL,
which is used for Spectral analysis, and TRAN0 - TRAN3 which are used by the
Transient Daughterboard (when present).
TRAN0 - TRAN3 are hard wired to Tach channel inputs 13-16.

Note
Tachometers used for 4500 transient signal operation must be
(physically) connected to tachometer card inputs 13, 14, 15, or 16.
Tachometers at these connections may be used (simultaneously)
for normal and transient operation.

CSI 4500 Transient Daughterboard
PN B4532DB
The CSI 4500 Transient Daughterboard adds the capability for 32 channel par-
allel, continuous time waveform acquisition. All collected time waveform data,
along with 32 channel Overall Level data and up to four tachometer pulse
records is stored on an internal hard drive, which provides approximately 45
minutes per Gbyte of storage.
The CSI 4500 Transient Daughterboard can also stream data via Ethernet to
analysis applications in near real time, without affecting data collection or on-
board data storage.
While collecting time waveforms and tachometer pulses, the CSI 4500 Tran-
sient daughterboard continuously calculates the peak-to-peak value of each
channel's waveform. When configured, this value may be sent to the CSI 4500
G2 Processor Module for use as the overall level instead of the RMS value pro-
duced by the CSI 4500 Signal Input Module.
The hard drive used on the CSI 4500 Transient Daughterboard is specially rated
for 24-7 operation. It is recommended that this drive be replaced on a yearly
basis. In emergencies, any 2-1/2 in parallel IDE drive may be used temporarily,
but these drives are not generally rated for continuous operation.

Note
The use of a hard drive on the CSI 4500 Transient Daughterboard
places strict temperature limits on the CSI 4500 system. The CSI
4500 Fan Tray must be used. Ambient temperature must be limited
to 30C, 86F.

When installing the CSI 4500 Transient Daughterboard on the CSI 4500 G2
Processor Module, make sure all five mating connectors are fully engaged, and
then install all six mounting screws.

Replacing the CSI 4500 Transient Daughterboard Hard Drive
To change the CSI 4500 Transient Daughterboard hard drive, remove the four
hard drive mounting screws as shown below. Gently remove the hard drive
ribbon cable from the hard drive and remove the old hard drive. Install the new
hard drive in the bracket. Do not over tighten the screws. Replace the ribbon
cable, taking care that it is correctly lined up.
Before the new hard drive can be used, it must first be formatted by the Transient
Daughterboard. Apply power to the CSI 4500 system. Ignore any hard drive
error messages produced by the Transient Daughterboard on the HyperTerminal
monitor. When the 4500 System has booted, use the DHM program to format
the hard drive.
When the drive has been formatted, reboot the CSI 4500. Again, ignore any hard
drive error messages produced by the Transient Daughterboard on the Hyper-
Terminal monitor. When the POST process is complete, the firmware will auto-
matically prepare the hard drive with the Transient File System. This process
may take up to an hour. When this process is complete, reboot the CSI 4500. The
boot process should now complete normally, with no hard drive error messages,
and, if configured, Transient data collection should begin (indicated by a
flashing hard drive indicator on the CSI 4500 G2 front panel).

Note
CSI provides an industrial rated HDD, capable of 100% duty cycle.
CSI recommends that an equivalent HDD be utilized.

8-76 System Hardware Configuration


Explanation of 4500 CSI 4500 G2 Processor and Transient boot flags
0x0001 - skip SDRAM testing on cold boot (for testing)
0x0002 - load local system symbols (for debug)
0x0004 - don't autoboot (for testing)
0x0008 - quick autoboot (no countdown)
0x0010 - disable input from shell
0x0020 - disable login security
0x0040 - use bootp to get boot parameters (network boot only)
0x0080 - use tftp to get boot image (network boot only)
0x0100 - use proxy arp (network boot only)
0x0200 - ignore BOOTROM update image in FLASH (for testing)
0x0400 - turn OFF MUX CC diodes on cold boot (DCMII only)
0x0400 - redirect the console I/O to the DCMII (Transient only)
0x0800 - disable boot file update in FLASH (for development)
0x0800 - boot over a WAN, requiring extended FTP timeouts
The 0x0800 flag applies only if one of the three flags below is set:
0x1000 - attempt network, fallback on FLASH boot (legacy 4500 mode)
0x2000 - boot ALWAYS from network, never fallback on FLASH
0x4000 - boot ONCE from network. This flag clears itself after one boot
The system will normally try to get boot params, boot image, and startup script first from
FLASH. If the FLASH boot fails, the system will revert to a network boot as a backup. The
0x1000, 0x2000, and 0x8000 flags modify this default behavior (listed with highest prece-
dence first).

Typical CSI 4500 G2 Processor Boot Flags in the field:


CPU With Bootp Without Bootp
DCMII 0x1449 0x1409
Transient 0x1449 0x1409

General Boot Flag Notes


For CSI 4500 G1 Processor, CSI 4500 G2 Processor, and Transient systems,
boot flags can be listed by typing a question mark (?) into the HyperTerminal at
the vxWorks boot prompt.

Installation Considerations 8-77


Warning!
For CSI 4500 G2 Processor and Transient systems, the SDRAM
testing (0x001) flag causes FLASH boot to fail. Don’t use 0x0001
flag on 4500dcmII and 4500T bootROMs prior to v3.01b.

For CSI 4500 G2 Processor and Transient systems, the “BootROM update” fea-
ture is not implemented yet (0x0200 ignored).
For Transient systems, if redirect is used, do not connect internal transient board
com port to PC since all output will be directed to the external com port.

Subnet Masks
The subnet mask on a 4500 defaults to 255.255.255.0 (ffffff00) and should be
specified when configuring the 4500. The subnet mask should also match the
subnet mask used on the server. If they do not match, network communication
failure is possible. To specify a subnet maks, enter it on the configuration labled
“inet on ethernet.” The IP address of the unit should be entered first, followed
by a colon and then the subnet mask in hexadecimal.
The subnet mask is presented in Windows as a set of four decimal numbers, each
of which can have a value from 0 to 255, seperated by periods (i.e.
255.255.248.0). In the 4500, the subnet mask is represented as a series of four
hexadecimal pairs with no seperation (i.e. fffff800). A hexadecimal conversion
table can be used to convert the numbers. The calculator in Windows' Accesso-
ries can also be used for conversion when set to scientific mode.

4500 G2 Processor Card LCD navigation screens


The 4500 CPU has an LCD screen on the front along with several navigation
buttons below. You can view various settings and data on this screen while at the
unit. Not all settings and data for the unit can be viewed from the screen, as it is
not meant to be used as a replacement for the Online Watch program.
The first screen presented is the main menu. The menu choices on this screen
are View System Status, Adjust Contrast Settings, and view Gross Scan Data.
The IP address of the host server for the 4500T is also displayed.

8-78 System Hardware Configuration


The menus are navigated by use of the six buttons below the LCD screen. Four
arrows, enter (the lower right arrow that goes down and then left) and escape
(the upper right arrow that goes up and then left). While navigating the screens
of the LCD display, pressing escape will return you to the previous menu.

In the LCD screen, below the menu options, there are four boxes that may or
may not contain icons.

The first or left most icon shows three boxes connected by lines to show that the
4500 has established a connection to the online server. A two box connection
will appear when the 4500 has a connection to DHM (a troubleshooting and
diagnostic tool used primarily for support purposes).
The second icon (a set of wavy lines) will appear next to the unit connection
during a “Live” data connection with a transient unit.
The fourth or right most icon is a heart shape which indicates that the
unit has booted without any errors. This icon should flash or fade on and
off at a regular pace once the unit has fully booted.
If the heartbeat is displayed as being broken, it indicates that one or more POST
(Power On Self Test) failures occurred during the unit bootup.

Installation Considerations 8-79


Adjusting Contrast
From the main menu, selecting Adjust Contrast displays the adjust contrast
screen. On this screen, you can adjust the contrast of the LCD display for max-
imum readability. The left and right arrow keys change the contrast quickly in
large steps and the up and down arrow keys allow you to make finer adjust-
ments.

Gross Scan Data


Selecting Gross Scan Data from the menu will display a screen with gross scan
AC values for the first four signal channels on the 4500. The up and down
arrows may be used to scroll through the channels four at a time. Only the AC
gross scan values are available and they are displayed in Volts RMS (4500M,
4500MS, 4500T) or Peak-to-Peak (4500T), depending upon how the channel
was configured in O_config.

System Status Menu


Selecting System Status on the menu takes you to the System Status menu where
there are choices for showing online POST status, online boot parameters, tran-
sient POST status and transient boot parameters.

8-80 System Hardware Configuration


Online POST Information
Selecting Online POST from the System Status menu will display the Firmware
version, EPROM version, PLD 0 version and the unit onboard temperature. The
temperature is the temperature inside of the 4500 itself, not of any monitored
equipment.

Pressing the up and down arrows from this screen will allow you to page
through several screens of information about the 4500.
The next screen displays versions for some of the internal components of the
4500. This information is used for troubleshooting purposes only.

The next screen displays the total amount of onboard system memory as well as
the IP address and Subnet Mask that the CSI 4500 G2 Processor board is cur-
rently using.

Installation Considerations 8-81


The final screen displays POST results for: Gross Scan, Digital Signal Pro-
cessor, Tachometer and Power tests. These should always say passed.

Online Boot Parameters


Selecting Online BootParams from the main menu allows access to the boot
parameters used by the online side of the 4500. The first screen shows the
Device, UnitID, Processor and Unit settings for the CSI 4500 G2 Processor
board. These are used for troubleshooting purposes. Using the up and down
arrows allows you to page through several more screens of information

The next screen displays the 4500 IP address, Subnet Mask and Host IP address
used by the CSI 4500 G2 Processor . The Subnet Mask and Host IP address set-
tings should be identical to the settings for the Transient board. The IP address,
however, will always be different.

8-82 System Hardware Configuration


The next screen displays the bootfile name that the CSI 4500 G2 Processor will
use to load its firmware.

The next screen displays the name of the startup script used by the CSI 4500 G2
Processor board if one is in use or a blank (as shown) if not. Startup scripts
allow some changes to the behavior of the 4500 and will generally be set up
during system commissioning.

The final screen displays the FTP User name and FTP User Password used to
connect to the server to download firmware for the CSI 4500 G2 Processor
board. The Bootflags setting is shown as well. These are set during commis-
sioning and generally will not need to be changed.

Installation Considerations 8-83


Transient POST
Selecting Trans POST from the System Status menu will allow you to access the
POST results and other information related to the Transient board. The first
screen shows Transient Firmware revision, BootProm revision, PLD0 revision,
and PLD1 revision for the Transient board. As with the CSI 4500 G2 Processor
board, these are only used for troubleshooting.

The next screen displays the DSP PLD version, Transient Main revision, Tran-
sient Diagnostic revision and Hard Drive Size of the Transient board. The hard
drive size is the total size in megabytes. With the initial release of the 4500T,
60GB is the standard drive size installed in the system.

The next screen shows the IP address and MAC address of the Transient board.

8-84 System Hardware Configuration


The final screen displays the Transient POST status, Digital Signal Processor
POST Status, and Power POST Status for the Transient board. All three of these
should display passed.

Transient Boot Parameters


Finally, on the System Status menu, Transient Boot Parameters may be selected.
This will give you access to the boot parameters used by the Transient board.
The first screen displays the Device, Processor number and Unit number of the
Transient board. This information is used for troubleshooting purposes only.

The second screen displays the IP address, Subnet Mask and Host IP address
used by the Transient board. The Subnet Mask and Host IP address settings
should be identical to the settings for the CSI 4500 G2 Processor board. The IP
address, however, will always be different.

Installation Considerations 8-85


The next screen displays the Firmware bootfile name loaded via FTP from
online server. The actual location of this file on the server is typically
C:\Inetpub\FTProot\bin and the file should be named 4500T

The next screen displays the name of the startup script used by the Transient
board if one is in use or a blank (as shown) if not. Startup scripts allow some
changes to the behavior of the 4500 and will generally be set up during system
commissioning.

The final screen displays the FTP User name and FTP User Password used to
connect to the server to download firmware for the Transient board. Also dis-
played is the Bootflags setting which is set during commissioning and should
not need changed thereafter. The “Oth” field should contain the IP address of the
WINS server on the network.

Data Types

Overall Level Parameters


All Overall Level inputs must be DC in nature. Any Overall Level input of a
dynamic nature must be fed through the RMS / DC converter path. It is not tech-
nically valid to convert RMS values from an RMS/DC converter to Pk or Pk-Pk
Measurement Units unless the input is sinusoidal in nature. However, the CSI
4500 allows this. RMS values are multiplied by 1.414 or 2.828 to convert from
RMS to Pk and Pk-Pk respectively.

Spectral Scan Parameters


All Spectral Scan Parameters must be AC in nature. It is possible to convert
some analysis type results between Measurement Unit types and Display Unit
types. In general, Measurement Unit Conversions are only possible with spec-
tral analysis types. Time waveforms analysis types cannot be converted.

Non Vibration Unit Analysis Types
Includes Peak to Average Ratio, Average to Minimum Ratio, Kurtosis, Skew-
ness, Synchronous Phase
These analysis types produce non unit ratios or specific unit types such as
degrees of phase. Measurement Unit Type will not apply to these parameters.

Modifying the CSI 4500 Input Ratio to Accept DC Process Signals Greater Than
+/- 10 VDC

Note
This is only necessary for AMS: Machinery Manager version 4.9x
and earlier. For version 5.x this won’t be necessary.

The CSI 4500 is capable of monitoring signals with +/- 10V peak AC or DC
signal ranges and +/- 24V DC bias ranges. In certain cases, such as a proximity
probe thrust measurement, the signal range is greater than +/- 10V. In this case
the input must be rescaled to allow the signal to be correctly measured.
Two equal value resistors are added in series, one with the positive signal wire,
and one with the negative signal wire between the proximity probe amplifier
output and the CSI 4500 Signal Input Module or 4500 MSIG channel input.
These resistors are sized to reduce the input voltage as required so that the max-
imum voltage seen at the CSI 4500 inputs is less then +/- 10V peak. The value
of the sensor sensitivity is adjusted in OCONFIG to correct the measured value
based on the resistor scaling.

Note
These resistors are not required for proximity probe vibration mea-
surements, only for thrust or other DC probes.

The resistor value is calculated as follows:


Choose a maximum input voltage VMAX

Data Types 8-91


The sensor sensitivity should be adjusted as follows:

For example, with a +/- 24V input range, the resistor sum is 1598 k ohms or
1.598 Megohms and the sensor sensitivity correction factor is 0.416.
The actual resistor values to be added to each input wire are 1.598Megohms / 2
or 800Kohms
In some cases the choice of resistors will be limited. In this case, the input range
and sensor sensitivity may be calculated based on the available resistor as fol-
lows:

For example, if two 500Kohm (1Megohm total) resistors are used, the input
range would be +/-18.75V pk. The sensor sensitivity would be multiplied by
0.533.

8-92 System Hardware Configuration


Offset Adjustment
For thrust probes, the CSI 4500 input channel is defined as a DC Process input.
Select a suitable scaling resistor and sensor sensitivity adjustment value using
the methods described above. To set the DC offset so that the thrust reading may
be zeroed, use a DC voltmeter (or the DHM program) to measure the DC voltage
as see directly on the CSI 4500 inputs. Enter this value into the offset field in the
sensor set up page in OCONFIG.

Note
In older versions of this procedure a single correction resistor was
calculated to be added to the positive sensor wire. It has been deter-
mined that this can cause incorrect results in certain situations,
depending on the location of the sensor amplifier ground.

Using a balanced, two resistor solution should result in correct operation in all
cases.

Data Types 8-93


CSI 4500 System Calibration
The CSI 4500 system calibration consists of two steps:
1) . Calibrate the on board signal generator
2) . Calibrate the system.
The CSI 4500 G1 or G2 Processor generator should be recalibrated at least once
a year.
The CSI 4500 system should be recalibrated or if any module (other than the
power supply) has been replaced.
The CSI 4500 G1 or G2 Processor on board generator and system should be cal-
ibrated when the CSI 4500 system is commissioned, at the normal temperature
for the mounting location.

Calibrating the CSI 4500


The CSI 4500 uses internal calibration tables to compensate for slight measure-
ment variations that can occur across the temperature, voltage ranges, and vari-
ations in individual electronic components used by processing circuitry. These
calibration tables are stored in each CSI 4500 when it is assembled and verified
at the factory. The units apply calibration connections automatically during
signal measurement and processing.

The CSI 4500 G2


For the second generation CSI 4500 hardware ("blue" units), up to four circuits
are calibrated. These are:
• Test Signal Generator (TSG)
• Gross Scan (GS)
• Digital Signal Processor (DSP)
• Transient

The CSI 4500 G1


For the first generation CSI 4500 hardware ("black" units), four slightly dif-
ferent circuits were calibrated. These are:
• Test Signal Generator (TSG)

8-94 System Hardware Configuration


• Gross Scan (GS)
• Digital Signal Processor (DSP)
• Tachometer
A key element is the Test Signal Generator circuit.This circuit provides an
extremely precise output signal, which is used as an input during GS, DSP,
Tachometer and Transient Calibrations. During calibrations, the TSG output is
routed internally in each CSI 4500, to processing electronics (GS, DSP, Tach,
Transient), and individual calibration tables for each processing circuit are cre-
ated and stored in CSI 4500 memory. These tables are stored in non-volatile
memory, which means that the tables are not erased if the CSI 4500 is powered-
down. Calibration circuit inputs and outputs are shown in the following table

Table 3: Calibration Circuit Inputs and Outputs

Calibration Circuit Input Output

TSG (Test Signal (external) signal TSG table (internal) TSG


Generator) signal

GS (Gross Scan) TSG signal GS table

DSP (Digistal Signal TSG signal DSP table


Processor)

Transient TSG signal Transient table

It is important to note, from Table 3, that the TSG circuit provides an output
signal, which is used to create all of the other calibration tables. The TSG circuit
has its own calibration table, stored in the CPU board. If a CPU board is
replaced, then the other calibrations need to be rerun for that CSI 4500, since
their (original) calibration tables used the TSG signal from the original CPU
board.
Calibration tables may be copied from each CSI 4500 onto an online server, and
those can be downloaded into the same CSI 4500. Emerson Online Product Sup-
port personnel, and Online Systems Engineers, can assist customers with this
type of operation.

Data Types 8-95


Should it be desirable or necessary to recalibrate an installed system, it is rec-
ommended that this be accomplished with the support of the local Emerson
Online Product Support office, and that it be scheduled during an equipment
outage. Calibrations can be accomplished in less than an hour (per CSI 4500),
but during that time, the units cannot be monitoring rotating equipment.

Test Signal Generator (TSG) Calibration


All CPU boards provided by CSI are shipped with a calibrated Test Signal Gen-
erator circuit. If the CPU board is purchased as part of a system (i.e. the initial
shipment), the entire system is calibrated, using the CPU board TSG circuit.
The TSG circuit is the only element which requires an external piece of test
equipment, and special connection cables. TSG calibration requires:
• Digital Multi Meter (such as the HP 34401A)
• Laptop\computer configured as online server
• Special calibration utility program (DHM)
• Cable which connects the laptop\computer to the CSI 4500 Ethernet port
• Cable which connects the laptop\computer to the Digital Multi Meter
• Cable which connects the Digital Multi Meter to test points on the CPU
board
• (1st generation, “black” CSI 4500s) extender board for the CPU board
TSG calibration is unique in that it requires a separate test instrument, unique
cables, and a laptop which is configured as an online server. It is recommended
that TSG calibration or recalibration be performed by qualified Emerson Online
Systems Engineers.
Connections for the 1st generation (G1 - “black”) and 2nd generation (G2 -
“blue”) units are as shown in the following two figures.

8-96 System Hardware Configuration


Recalibration of the TSG circuit for a 2nd generation (G2 - “blue”) product uses
a test port on the face of the CPU front panel. This was not the case with the 1st
generation (G1 - “black”) product, which required a different cable to connect
to two test points on the CPU board, and an extender board which made these
points accessible.

Transient Calibration
The CSI 4500T includes two processing boards; a CPU board and a Transient
board. Both boards include separate Digital Signal Processors. The DSP on the
Transient board uses an internal calibration table, in much the same way that the
CPU board DSP circuit does. However it is calibrated separately, it is not cali-
brated as part of a DSP calibration for a CPU board.
