Set the tachometer angle
The tachometer location identifies the tachometer reference pulse for future setup, on
graphs, and in some special calculations performed in Calculator Mode. The location is
indicated by a “T”. The analyzer does not use tachometer location to calculate the balance
correction.
Note
The tachometer angle is the angular location of the reflective tape when the tachometer sees it
relative to Top-Dead-Center (TDC).
Procedure
1.
From the Balance main menu, press F3 Job Setup > F10 Tach Config > F8 Enter Tach
Angle.
2. In Advanced Balance mode, enter the location in degrees from the Top Dead Center
(TDC). The default is 0 degrees. In Basic Balance mode, use the up and down arrow
keys to select Top, Bottom, Left, or Right. The default is Top. Left and Right are
independent of the rotational direction, and they are defined as if you were facing
the rotor.
3. Press Enter.
The Tach Config graph displays the selected location.
4. Press Enter.
Set the rotation direction
Set the rotation direction as Clockwise (CW) or Counter-Clockwise (CCW). The rotation direction
is the default orientation for all graphs within the job. Other screens in the Balance
program let you change the direction of rotation for only the displayed graph.
Procedure
From the Balance main menu, press F3 Job Setup > F10 Tach Config > F10 Toggle Direction
Rotation.
Each time you press F10 Toggle Direction Rotation, the option changes. The default is CCW.
9.3.5 Set up the equipment speed
Speed is expressed in revolutions per minute (RPM). Use speed as a reference for future
setup or as the baseline speed for applying the delta RPM to determine valid data.
This is an optional setting. The analyzer does not use speed to calculate the balance
correction. In Basic mode, the analyzer collects data at one speed with applying an RPM
range to verify valid data.
