INTRODUCTION REPAIR/SERVICE/PARTS The Vibration Strobe is a truly portable, battery-operated stroboscope that is suited for a wide range of industrial, institutional, and educational applications, and is able to interface with several of the Vibration Data Collectors that are currently available. Several interface cables are available.
3. The lamps are polarized and must be put into the socket matching polarity. Using a lint free cloth, match up the red dot on the plug with the red dot on the socket and gently rock the lamp back and forth while pushing it into place (see Figure 5). Make sure the lamp is in straight and centered in the reflector hole. CAUTION: Do NOT allow the reflector to contact the lamp.
OPERATION POWER REQUIREMENTS AND BATTERY CHARGING To turn on the stroboscope, depress and hold the trigger. When the strobe is powered up in the Internal (INT) mode, it will begin flashing immediately. The trigger may be locked in position using the side-locking button. To lock the trigger on, hold the unit in the right hand, depress the trigger as far as it will go, and then use your thumb to press the locking button. You may release the trigger and the trigger will be held in place.
Checking for unbalance: 1. If the vibration transducer is moved from the vertical position on the bearing to another radial position, the reference mark will move to the new position if there is a significant amount of unbalance. The reference mark will follow the vibration transducer around the clock only if the once per turn vibration is caused by unbalance. Checking for alignment: 1. Alignment checks can be made by moving the vibration transducer to each end of the machines in a train.
To set-up for balancing or phase measurement, a data collector or vibration analyzer must be used that is capable of interfacing with the Vibration Strobe. The instrument must then be set up to obtain and record the phase information supplied to it from the strobe and the reference transducer. As a general set-up guideline for the data collector or analyzer, in order to be triggered properly and to read phase properly, check the following: 1.
