1. Monitor Overview
The 1900/55 Fan Monitor is a four-channel monitor intended for low frequency
vibration monitoring on fan gear boxes. Although the monitor accepts input from
any Velomitor
CT
transducer. For vibration measurements from 4.5 to 3400 Hz 3 dB use the
330500 Velomitor
XA transducer.
Step 1 Strip the outer insulation jacket off the transducer cable.
Pull the shield back and twist into shield conductor or attach
with solder a small length of wire to be used as a shield
conductor. Strip the inner conductor insulation from the
inner conductors.
Step 2 Pull the Velomitor
transducer
connector of the monitor.

2.5 Relay Connections
The relay terminals let you connect six relays to shutdown circuitry or to alarm
annunciators such as a light. The six relays consist of an OK relay, a single alert
relay that is common to all four channels, and four independent danger relays for
each channel. Each relay has normally open and normally closed contacts, and
they can each be configured as latching or nonlatching relays. All the relays,
except the OK relay, can be configured as normally de-energized or normally
energized (see the table below for information on relay behavior for normally
energized and de-energized relays). The OK relay is always normally energized so
that a loss of power will cause the relay to change states to indicate a loss of
protection. Refer to the Program Mode chapter for more information on
configuring the relays.
Alarm State

The relays must be used in an application for which they were designed. The load
connected to the relays must not exceed the following specifications.
Minimum contact load: 100 mA at 12 Vac or 12 Vdc
Maximum contact load: 8 A 300 Vac or 28 Vdc 224 W or 2000 VA
Section 2 - Installation
19
CAUTION
When the BASEEFA option is ordered the
relays are limited to 5 A and 30 VAC or 30
VDC.
The relay terminal strip also has connections for relay bypass on terminals 1 and
2. Use this terminal strip to connect a switch across terminals 1 and 2 so that a
relay bypass signal can be sent to the monitor. This switch will inhibit relay
operation as long as it is held closed. Common uses for relay bypass are:
to inhibit the relays when the machinery being monitored has high vibration, or
when speed changes last longer than the maximum relay time delay of 15
seconds.
to inhibit the relays while the vibration data is trended in order to
determine correct alert and danger setpoint values for each channel.
to keep the monitors relays from going into their alarm states while the
machine is maintained or tested.
Step 1 Strip the insulation from the conductors in the relay cable.
Step 2 Pull relay terminal strip from the monitor.
Step 3 Connect the wires from the relay cable into the terminal strip. The
wiring should be specified to handle the above mentioned voltages.
Step 4 Replace the terminal strip in the relay connector of the monitor.

2.6 Power Connections
The 1900/55 Fan Monitor can be powered by either 120 Vac or 240 Vac,
depending on which option was ordered.
CAUTION
Damage to the monitor may result
if incorrect power
is applied.
Section 2 - Installation
21
Step 1 Strip the insulation from the conductors in the power cable.
Step 2 Crimp ring or spade lugs on the power cable.
Step 3 Attach the power cable to the power terminal strip on the monitor.
The power cable used must be specified to handle the voltage levels.
An external 20 amp circuit breaker which conforms to local electrical codes is
recommended when connecting power to the monitor.
2.7 Powering Up the Monitor
Route the cables so that they are out of the way of the monitor and will not get
pinched or cut when the monitor closes. Leave enough slack in the cables so that
the monitor can be opened. Screw the monitor closed. Turn the power source to
the monitor on. The monitor should complete its power up self-test, the OK light
will flash, if the OK relay is configured as nonlatching, and all four channels should
be on. If any channels transducer was not connected, then the OK light will be off
until that channel is turned off. See the configuration chapter for information on
configuring each channel. Press the Reset button to stop the OK light from
flashing.
Section 3 - Program Mode

3.3. Point ID
Use Point ID (Point Identification) to identify where the transducer attached to that
particular channel is mounted. It is only a label, therefore, it is not crucial for the
operation of the monitor.
Changes to Point ID are saved automatically whether the Select button is pressed
or not. This is different from other program parameters.

3.4. Setpoints
There is an Alert and Danger setpoint for each channel. Each setpoint can be
programmed independently.
Adjust the setpoints within the ranges and at the increments shown in the
following table. Setpoints will be set at the default value if the channel setpoints
are not programmed.

3.6. Danger Relay Bypass
When the Danger relay is bypassed, and a danger condition exists, the display
and LED indicators will operate normally, but the danger relay will not go into an
alarm state.
Bypassing the danger relay is useful in the following situations:
--when you test or perform maintenance on your machine
--when you trend the vibration of a machine to determine appropriate
levels for the alert and danger setpoints.
The factory default for Danger Relay Bypass is not bypassed.

3.7. Channel Activity
Each channel may be programmed ON or OFF. If a channel is programmed off,
the channel is not monitored and does not vote for the OK relay or the alert relay.
The parameters of channels that are turned off can still be programmed. Turn off
any channel that has no transducer attached so that the OK status of the monitor
will be valid for the remaining channels that are in use.
The factory default for channel activity is ON.

3.9. LCD Scan Time
LCD Scan Time is used to determine how long each channel is displayed on the
front panel.
Data collection and monitoring continues for all four channels regardless of
which channel is being displayed. The front panel buffered output connector will
have the signal of the channel currently displayed.
Options:
1 to 20 seconds, in 1 second increments.
The factory default is 5 seconds.
1900/55 Fan Monitor Operation Manual
38
3.10. Self-test
Self-Test has 2 secondary menus:
Engage relays during test?
Begin Self Test?
Engage relays determines whether you want the relays to change state while the
self-test is run. If you select Yes, all the relays will be turned on and tested and
then turned off and tested again. The option always starts with No so that
relays will not be engaged during self-test. Only if you change the option to Yes
will the relays be engaged.
The next option is to Begin Self Test. Answering Yes to this option will begin the
self-test function. If you answer No then the self-test will not start and
programming can continue.
To run a Self-Test:
Set the Mode switch to PROGRAM
Press the arrow button until "SELF TEST menu is displayed on the front
panel
Press the Select button to move to the Engage relays secondary menu
and select the option you want. (We recommended that you engage
relays during the test, but ensure that engaging the relays on and off does
not cause a problem.)
Press the Menu button to move to the Begin Self-Test secondary menu,
choose yes, and press the Select button. The self-test will begin.
During self-test, the display will show TEST IN PROGRESS, all lights will be off, and
then all display segments and lights will come on. Any errors found during self-
test will be displayed once the monitor is returned to NORMAL mode. Any errors
that existed prior to performing a self-test will still be in the error list. All errors
should be cleared prior to running a self-test.
Section 3 - Program Mode
39
3.11. To exit PROGRAM Mode
When the Mode switch is set to NORMAL all the changes made in Program mode
will be in effect and vibration monitoring for all active channels will begin.
3.12. Viewing and Recording Programmed Values
While the Mode switch is in NORMAL position, you may view the programmed
values, but you may not change them. To view programmed values press the
Menu button on the front panel.
While viewing programmed values the functional buttons are Menu, Select, and
Stop/Resume. To move from one menu to another, press Menu or Select. To
return to velocity display, press Stop/Resume. Both the arrow buttons and
combination of Shift + Menu are not functional. A program record sheet is
provided to record the programmed options for your records. Copies of the sheet

4. Normal Mode
In NORMAL mode, the 1900/55 Monitor monitors the vibration on all active
channels and displays data using the display, bars, and lights. This chapter
shows how the monitor displays vibration and channel status and explains how
to use the buttons on the front panel to control how this data is displayed. The
chapter also describes how the connectors, relays, and contacts work.
The display shows the vibration level on each of those channels. The display
either scans through the active channels or displays a specific channel. The
display also gives the OK, Alert, Danger and Bypass status for the displayed
channel.
The monitor votes among all active channels and uses the lights to display the
results of the voting. The lights display the status of the overall monitor
regardless of which channel is being displayed.
During NORMAL mode operation the current configuration of the monitor can be
viewed. See Program Mode chapter for viewing programmed values.
The front panel buffered output connection can be used to collect and analyze
transducer signals. The signal on the front panel buffered output is the signal for
the channel shown on the display.
Latched relays and latched / flashing Alert and Danger lights can be reset by
pressing the Reset button or closing the remote Reset contacts.
4.1. Velocity Display
The velocity display shows the following data for a particular channel:
channel number

The remote buffered output connector on the back of the monitor provides continuous
buffered outputs for all four channels.
Relay Bypass Contacts:
When the Relay Bypass contacts are shorted, alert and danger relays will go to their non-
alarm states. All channels will go not OK and the OK relay will go to its not OK state.
Remote Reset Contacts:
When the Remote Reset contacts are shorted, latched and flashing lights and
relays will be reset if the alarm condition is no longer present. This contact has
the same effect as pressing the Reset button on the front panel.

5. Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Although the 1900/55 Fan Monitor is a low maintenance instrument, we
recommend that you inspect the monitor every three to six months to verify that
the monitor is in good working order. Inspect the following items:
The monitor is powered up, the OK light is on and the display has a valid vibration
reading.
The electrical connections to the monitor are in good condition and have no
corrosion or loose wires.
The weatherproof enclosure is still properly sealed and does not contain any
moisture.
If the monitor is mounted in a weatherproof housing it should not require any
cleaning. However, if the monitor or weatherproof housing is in need of cleaning,
a damp cloth or mild detergent can be used. Do not use solvents or abrasive
cleaners on the monitor or weatherproof housing.
CAUTION
Wiring and servicing must be
performed by qualified personnel.
5.1 Calibration Check
Connect function generator, multimeter, 4000 ohm resistor, and 10 UF capacitor
as shown below for the channel of interest at the Velomitor
transducer input
connections. Adjust function generator sinewave to 63.66 Hz with 0 Vdc offset.
Convert the input voltages below to rms units before using the voltmeter to set
the function generator signal amplitude. The corresponding channel display will
indicate the velocity. If the display is incorrect, check the troubleshooting section
that follows for further assistance.
1 in/sec peak = 200 mV pk-pk
1 mm/sec peak = 7.874 mV pk-pk
1 in/sec rms = 282.8 mV pk-pk
1 mm/sec rms = 11.13 mV pk-pk

5.2 Troubleshooting
The purpose of this section is to help you identify potential problems with your setup.
This section is not intended to instruct you on repairing the monitor. If after using the
troubleshooting guide you feel that the monitor is not operating properly then you should
contact your local Bently Nevada representative.
Application Alert
Do not leave the monitor in PROGRAM mode.
The monitor is NOT protecting your machinery
while in PROGRAM mode.
Consider the above application alert before proceeding on to the troubleshooting
table below.
Section 5 - Maintenance and Troubleshooting
51
Problem
Possible Solution
Monitor does not power
up.
Verify that the power to the monitor is on and meets the
monitor specifications (see Specification appendix).
Check the fuse in the monitor. The fuse is located near the
power terminal strip. The monitor's back cover does not need
to be removed in order to gain access to the fuse. Replace
with part number 01700067 or 01700068 depending on the
power option.
The monitor is on but
the OK light does not
turn on.
The monitor will not turn on the OK light until 15 seconds after
it has completed its self-test and all active channels are OK.
Turn off all channels that are not used (see Program Mode
chapter).
If the OK relay is configured as latching the OK light will not
turn on until the Reset button is pressed.
The OK light will not turn on if the display shows any channel
to be NOT OK. Check the transducer and cabling on those
channels that say NOT OK for proper connection (see
Installation chapter or transducer manual).
OK light is flashing.
If the OK relay is configured as nonlatching the monitor will
flash the OK light anytime it is powered down and then
restarted. Pressing the Reset button will stop the flashing.
When a channel goes NOT OK and then returns to OK status
the OK light will flash. The display will indicate which channel
this occurred on by flashing the OK bar for that channel.
Check the transducer and cable on that channel (see
Installation chapter or transducer manual). Pressing the Reset
button will stop the flashing.
Bypass light is flashing.
The monitor is in PROGRAM mode. Return the monitor to
NORMAL mode (see PROGRAM mode chapter).
Cannot change
programmed values.
Not in PROGRAM mode. Move the Mode switch to PROGRAM
position.

contact your local Bently Nevada representative.
V+ Error
V- Error
Vxdcr Error
The monitor has detected an error with one of its supply
voltages.
If the error is flashing alternately with the channel display then
the monitor has detected an error in the past but is no longer
present. Check to see that the line voltage to the monitor is
within monitor specifications (see Specifications appendix).
Line voltage fluctuations outside the monitor specifications will
cause this problem. Clear the errors (see the procedure at the
end of this section). If the error reappears contact your local
Bently Nevada representative.
If the error flashes continuously and is the only thing on the
display then the error is currently present. The OK light will be
off and the BYPASS light will be on. The monitor is not
providing machine protection. Check to see that the line
voltage to the monitor is within monitor specifications (see
Specifications appendix). If the line voltage meets the monitor
specifications then contact your local Bently Nevada
