Section 1 - 1900/25 Vibration Monitor Description
1. 1900/25 Vibration Monitor Description

The 1900/25 Vibration Monitor provides continuous vibration monitoring for
machinery where most of the shaft vibration is transmitted through the bearing to
the case. Vibration amplitude is a primary indicator of the overall mechanical
condition of rotating machinery. Many machine malfunctions, including rotor
imbalance, misalignment, and bearing wear can be detected with vibration
measurements. Typical applications include general purpose and essential
machines with roller element bearings like pumps, fans, and compressors.
This section helps familiarize you with the monitor by listing the features that
make the monitor flexible and describing the monitor controls that make the
monitor easy to use.
1.1 Features
The features of the 1900/25 Vibration Monitor make the monitor more reliable
and easier to use. Many of these features have been used on previous Bently
Nevada monitors and have proven to be useful for protecting machinery. You can
program some of the features of the monitor by using jumpers or the 6-position
Configuration switch.
Some of the non-programmable features are described below.
Transducer separate from monitor - Mounting only the transducer on the machine
requires less space and makes the transducer easier to install on small
machinery. Mounting the monitor away from the machine protects the monitor
from the harsh machine enviroment that is less suitable for electronic
instrumentation. This location makes it easier and safer for plant personnel to
access the monitor.
Digital LCD display - A digital liquid crystal display on the front of the monitor
indicates overall vibration or the Alert or Danger setpoints. Because the monitor is
designed to be mounted close to the machine rather than on the machine, the
monitor can be located where service personel can read it easily.
Status LED indicators - Four LEDs on the front of the monitor indicate the status of
the monitor. These LEDs show whether the monitor is OK, in alarm, or bypassed.
Remote Reset - A front panel reset button and remote reset terminals let you reset
latched relays or flashing LEDs without turning the monitor off. The remote reset
terminals allows the monitor to be reset from a remote location without having to
open the weatherproof enclosure.

Relay BYPASS - A relay BYPASS switch lets you disable both relays while you
adjust the relay setpoints or maintain the machinery. This feature prevents false
alarms or undesired machinery shutdowns. When the monitor is bypassed, the
red BYPASS LED is on.
Coaxial connector - A coaxial connector on the front of the monitor provides a
buffered velocity signal (500 mV/in/s or 20 mV/mm/s) for locally sampling dynamic
data. The connector provides direct access to the integrated transducer signal
which can be used to diagnose and analyze machinery.
Two alarm relays - The monitor has two single-pole, double-throw relays (Type 2
FORM C). Use these relays as inputs to the machinery control circuits, or to drive
alarm annunciators such as a bell or light on an alarm panel. You can also wire
these relays together with other relays into an AND or OR voting logic scheme.
Although typically used as an Alert relays, you can reconfigure the Alert relay to
become a NOT OK relay, an Alert logically OR'ed with NOT OK relay, or an auxiliary
Danger relay. The relay circuits include arc suppressors to increase relay contact
life expectancy and reduce arcs in hazardouslocations.
Trendmaster 2000 Interface - This interface lets you use the Trendmaster 2000
to access the velocity signal that is obtained when the monitor integrates the
transducer signal generated by the Accelerometer. This allows the vibration data
to be trended and graphes such as spectrum and time base plots to be obtained.
Any potential machine problem can be investegated on-line with the Trendmaster
2000 before going to the machine site.
True peak measurements - The 1900/25 Vibration Monitor uses an analog peak-topeak detector to determine the peak vibration amplitude. This method is more
accurate than methods which measure the RMS level and attempt to convert it to
peak value. The RMS method is poor because it applies the conversion factor for
pure sinusoidal signals even though machinery vibration is rarely a pure sine wave
(see Appendix B).
Timed OK/Monitor Defeat - This special proprietary circuit minimizes the possibility
of false alarms caused by a defective transducer, transducer wiring, or -transducer
power supply.
Power-up Inhibit - This feature minimizes false alarms caused by a transient power
surge or interruption of power.
Monitor Self Test - The monitor conducts a self test which checks the monitor's
power supply voltages and verifies the signal path when you power up the
monitor or when you initiate a self test during operation of the monitor.
Programmable options provide flexibility and a wide range of standard features.
Internal Jumper Options:
Normally Energized/De-energized Relays - The Alert and Danger relays can be be
either normally energized or normally de-energized. The normal condition of a
2

relay corresponds to its non-alarm condition. For example, a normally energized
relay would have power on the coil (ARM contacts NO) when it is not in alarm and
would remove power from the coil (ARM contacts NC) when it goes into alarm. Both
relays are independently set.
Latching/Nonlatching Relays - The Alert and Danger relays can be either latching
or nonlatching. Latching alarms must be cleared using the reset button or by
closing a switch between the reset terminals. Nonlatching alarms automatically
reset when the monitor no longer detects an alarm condition. Both relays are
independently set.
Trendmaster 2000 Behavior during BYPASS - When the monitor is switched to
BYPASS, the Trendmaster 2000 host computer indicates NOT OK and does not
collect dynamic data. Since some applications require dynamic data collection
during BYPASS, you can set the monitor so that it collects data even when the
alarms are bypassed.
Front Panel 6-position Configuration Switch Options:
Relay Time Delay - The Alert and Danger relay time delays can be set for 3, 5 , 10,
or 15 seconds. Relay time delay is the amount of time that the vibration level must
be greater than the alarm setpoint level before an alarm trips. The time delay
minimizes false alarms from either "normal" transient vibration or electrical noise
sources. The relay time delay setting applies to both relays as long as both are
configured to activate under an alarm condition.
Alert Relay Configuration - To help you use the monitor for different applications,
the Alert relay can be set to activate under any of the following conditions:
Alert
Alert or NOT OK
NOT OK
Danger (as an auxiliary Danger relay)
Units - You can set the overall vibration level shown on the LCD display to display in
either English (in/s) or metric (mm/s) units. Both units are true zero to peak
measurements, not RMS measurements converted to peak.
Monitor Self Test - A user-invoked self test switch is provided to aid in field
troubleshooting. When you invoke the self test, the signal path and alarm
threshold detection circuits are verified. All LEDs and LCD numerical segments
turn on at the beginning of the self test to verify that they are operating properly.
The power supplies are checked continually.

2. Installation
This section describes how to install the 1900/25 Vibration Monitor. It includes
information on how to configure the monitor for your particular application using
the monitor's internal jumpers and the configuration switches on the front panel.
This section also describes how to connect the Accelerometer to the 1900/25
Vibration Monitor.
2.1 2.1 Receiving Inspection

Inspect the components of the order as soon as you receive them to see if there
was any damage during shipment. Keep all shipping forms and invoices. If any
shipping damage is apparent, file a claim with the carrier and submit a copy to
Bently Nevada Corporation. Include all model numbers and serial numbers with
the claim. We will either repair or replace damaged parts according to the terms
and conditions of the sale.
A plastic cover will be over the display when the monitor is shipped from Bently
Nevada. Remove the cover from the label either when you receive the monitors or
during installation.
2.2 Jumper Settings

Use internal jumpers to program each relay as latching or non-latching and
normally energized or de-energized. Use the Bypass Mode jumper to program
what Trendmaster 2000 does during relay bypass.
2.2.1 Setting Relays for Latching or Non-Latching Behavior

A latching relay stays in an alarm state even after the vibration has dropped
below the setpoint level for that relay. A non latching relay moves from its alarm
state to its non-alarm state once the vibration drops back below the setpoint level
for that relay. Table 2.1 describes how to set jumpers W7 and W8 to control
latching and non latching behavior for the Alert and Danger relays.

2.2.2 Setting Relays for Normally Energized or Normally De-energized

Behavior
The Normally Energized/De-energized option controls whether power is applied
to the relay coil during an alarm state or during a non-alarm condition. For
normally de-energized relays, no power is applied to the relay coil during nonalarm conditions. Power is applied during alarm conditions. For normally
energized relays, power is applied to the relay coil during non-alarm conditions.
Power is removed during alarm conditions. Normally energized relays are useful
when you want to shut a machine off when vibration monitoring stops due to loss
of monitor power. Table 2.2 shows how to set jumpers W5 and W6 for Normally
De-energized or Normally Energized Alert and Danger Relays.

2.2.3 Setting Trendmaster 2000 Behavior During 1900/25 Monitor

Bypass
With the BYPASS Mode jumper installed the Trendmaster 2000 system responds
to a relay bypass condition at the monitor by placing a NOT OK flag on this point
and placing a time and date message in the alarm list. Even though the relays are
in BYPASS, the monitor remains OK and continues to monitor vibration. The
Trendmaster 2000 system is unable to continue logging data when this jumper is
in, but visibility of a bypass condition is maintained by making it impossible to
place a point in bypass without it being recorded by the Trendmaster 2000.
With the BYPASS Mode jumper removed the Trendmaster 2000 software will not
flag a NOT OK indication for that point and there will not be a date and time log
placed in the alarm list when the monitor is placed into BYPASS. However, the
Trendmaster 2000 software will be able to log vibration data while the monitor
is in relay BYPASS mode.
Table 2.3 shows how to use the Bypass Mode jumper to control how Trendmaster
2000 responds when the monitor is bypassed.

To determine realistic setpoint values for a machine, we recommend that you

collect data for a few weeks with the relays disabled and the bypass jumper
removed. Use this configuration only long enough to collect sufficient trend data
on the Trendmaster 2000 to determine where to adjust the Alert and Danger
setpoints. After you establish realistic setpoints, install the bypass mode jumper
and return to the normal monitoring mode by placing the relay mode switch in
the NORMAL positrion.
2.2.4 Internal Jumper Location

Figure 2.1 shows the location of the jumpers on the monitor's circuit board.
To set the jumpers follow these steps:
1. Remove the case cover: Pull the case cover straight up. The inside of the
case cover has a label that summarizes the jumper settings.
2. Locate the five jumpers along the side of the top board (see Figure 2-1).
Figure 2-1: Location of internal jumpers.

3. Remove or insert any of the jumpers that are required for your given
application.
4. Snap the case cover back into place over the printed circuit boards.
2.3 Monitor Enclosure

Use a TYPE 4X enclosure for outdoor and Class 1, Division 2 hazardous areas. If
the monitor will be in a nonhazardous location where it is protected from the
elements, then a weatherproof enclosure is not required. Bently Nevada offers a
nonmetallic Type 4X enclosure (Bently Nevada Part Number 190100-01) or a
stainless steel RFI resistant Type 4X enclosure (Bently Nevada Part Number
03636315) for 1900 monitors. Both have windows on the front so that the LCD
display of the monitor is visible from outside the enclosure. Appendix D provides
ordering information. For more information on Bently Nevada's Type 4X enclosures
for the 1900 monitor, contact your local Bently Nevada sales representative.
2.4 Configuration Switch SettingS

Use the 6-position configuration switch on the front panel of the monitor to
program the relay time delays, the alert relay alarm condition, English or metric
units, and to initiate a monitor self test.
2.4.1 Relay Time Delay

Relay time delay is the amount of time that the vibration must continuously
exceed the setpoint before an alarm occurs. Table 2.4 shows the relay time delay
switch settings.

2.4.2 Alert Relay Alarm Conditions

Alert relay alarm settings let you configure the Alert relay to be driven by the
following 4 conditions: the Alert setpoint, the Alert setpoint logically OR'ed with
NOT OK, NOT OK, or the Danger setpoint. If you configure the relay to be driven
from NOT OK or the Danger setpoint, the Alert setpoint is no longer used. Table 2.5
shows the Alert relay drive condition settings.

2.4.4 Initiating Self Test

Initiate a Self Test by setting switch 6 to the ON position. Return switch 6 to the
OFF position once the test has started. The following actions occur during a
monitor self test, which lasts approximately 30 seconds:
The relays are placed in their non-alarm states.

Numerical segments of the LCD turn on for the duration of the self test.
All LEDS turn on for the first 4 seconds of the self test.
The signal path circuits are tested
The alarm threshold detection circuitry is tested.
If an error is detected during self test, an error code will remain on at the end of
the self test. Error codes El and E3 are continually tested for during normal
operation. If a power supply failure occurs, El comes on. If a NOT OK occurs, the
OK LED goes off and E3 comes on. Error code E2, a signal path error, can only be
detected using the self test function. The error codes are shown in Table 2.7.

2.5 Connecting Remote Reset

Mounting an external reset switch (or button) at a remote location lets you reset
the monitor without having to open the weatherproof housing. The remote reset
switch can be mounted up to 305 m (1000 ft) from the monitor. Connect the
remote reset switch between the REMOTE RESET A and B contacts. Use a singlepole single-throw (SPST) type switch with normally open contacts which are
momentarily closed by the switch actuator.
2.6 Trendmaster2000 Connections

The Trendmaster 2000 system lets you use an IBM-PC compatible computer to
collect and trend data from as many as 2054 different points. The system also
allows you to analyze vibration data by presenting Timebase and Spectrum plots.
This section shows how to connect the 1900/25 monitor to a Trendmaster 2000
system as a velocity point. Although the 1900/25 monitor can operate without the
Trendmaster 2000 system, the system lets you collect data automatically, then
use the data to generate Trend, Timebase, and Spectrum plots.
12
2.6.1 Connecting the Trendmaster 2000 System Cable to the 1900/25

Monitor
Use insulation displacement connector (IDC) cable to connect the Trendmaster
2000 system cable to the monitor.
Use the following tools to attach the cable to the 1900/25 monitor:
Trendmaster 2000 system cable (Bently Nevada part number 8503302-00)

An IDC connector installation tool (Bently Nevada part number 8571801)
A wire stripper to remove insulation from the cable
To attach the IDC connector to the cable, follow these steps:

1. Strip 25 to 32 mm (1 to 1.25 in) of outer insulation and foil from the end of
the cable. Do not strip the insulation from the individual wires in the cable.
2. Remove the snap-on cover from the IDC connector.
3. Use the installation tool shown in Figure 2-5 to attach the connector to the
wires using Figure 2-6 as a guide. Make sure the head that holds the
connector is in the locked position. Load the connector from the left side of
the tool as viewed from the handle end.
4. Check that the wires are inserted all the way to the bottom of the pins and
to the end of the connector. If the wires do not extend to the end, cut the
wires at the connector and install a new connector. Do not reconnect a
connector that has been previously attached to wires. See the appendix on
"Spare Parts" in the Trendmaster 2000 User Guide (Bently Nevada part
number 85000-01) for more details on the connectors.
5. Place the snap-on cover onto the connector.
6. Seat the connector in the Trendmaster 2000 socket on the 1900/25
monitor. There are two sockets for Trendmaster 2000. One of the sockets is
for the cable coming from the Trendmaster 2000 computer. The other
socket is for the line going out to the next 1900 monitor or Transducer
Interface Module (TIM). Refer to Figure 2-10.
13
Figure 2-10: Trendmaster 2000 Connections
14
2.6.2 Trendmaster 2000 Address

Use the 8-position address switch to set a unique address. Appendix C lists the
addresses and corresponding switch settings. Write the address and point name
on a copy of the 1900/25 configuration form (provided in Appendix D). Figure 2-11
shows the positions of the 8 address switches for three different address settings.
Switch number one of the 8-position address switch corresponds to the most
significant bit (MSB) of the address. Switch 8 corresponds to the least significant
bit (LSB). Since zero is an invalid address, do not set all eight switches to the off
position.
Figure 2-11: Sample Trendmaster 2000 address settings.
15
2.7 Relay Connections

Alert and Danger relays give two levels of alarm. Use the Alert relay to
annunciate high vibration that is nearing the Danger (shutdown) setpoint. Possible
annunciators include a buzzer, horn, light, or a signal sent to the plant computer.
The Danger relay is dedicated to the Danger setpoint and will go into its alarm
state when the vibration level exceeds the Danger setpoint.
WARNING
A missed trip or false trip can occur if the Alert relay
is used to signal a shutdown. Only the Danger relay,
because it is dedicated to the Danger setpoint, is
intended for machinery protection (shutdown) in the
event of high vibration. The Alert relay is intended for
non-machinery protection functions, such as
annunciating a high vibration condition or a system
fault (NOT OK), or for starting a spare machine in the
event a primary machine is shutdown by the Danger
relay as a result of high vibration in the primary
machine.
2.7.1 Alert Relay Configuration

The Alert relay can be configured in the field to give an alarm condition from one
of four different conditions: Alert setpoint, Alert setpoint logically OR'ed with NOT
OK, NOT OK, and the Danger setpoint. Section 2.5.2 shows how to set this relay.
Table 2.8 lists the Alert relay configurations and the suggested application for each
one.

2.7.3 Relay Electrical Connections

The following tools and supplies are required for connecting cable to the relay
terminal strip:
18
Wire stripper
Crimp tool
A phillips or straight screwdriver
Crimp type ring or spade lugs
Cable (maximum conductor size: 16 AWG)
To install the cable to the terminal strip follow these steps:
1.
If an outer jacket is on the relay cable then strip off about 25 mm (1 in) of outer
insulation from the cable.
2.
Strip 6 mm (0.25 in) of insulation from each of the conductors that will be
used by the relay.
3.

Section 3 - Monitor Operation
3. Monitor Operation
This section describes how to operate the monitor. Included is information about
the displays and indicators and how to interpret the information they provide.
3.1 Monitor Display

The liquid crystal display (LCD) on the front panel of the 1900/25 monitor shows
vibration data in either English or Metric units. The display can also show the
current Alert and Danger setpoint levels and error codes.
3.1.1 English or Metric Display Units

Velocity units can be displayed on the LCD in either English units (in/s), or in Metric
units (mm/s). Figure 3-1 shows the arrow on the right side of the LCD that points
to the units which the display is currently using. Change the velocity units by
setting switch 5 to the desired units on the 6-position configuration switch You
may need to re-adjust the zero of the display slightly if you change the units.
Refer to section 4.2.1 to calibrate the LCD zero.
Figure 3-1: Location of English and Metric LCD unit indicators.
23
3.1.2 The Display Mode Switch

Setpoint levels can be shown on the display by using the three-position Display
Mode switch. The positions of the Display Mode switch are Normal, Alert, and
Danger. Table 3.1 shows the effects of the Display Mode on the LCD.
Table 3.1: Display Mode Switch

3.1.3 Display Error Codes

Error codes are displayed on the left side of the LCD as shown in Figure 3-2. If an
error is detected the appropriate error code is displayed on the LCD. There are
three error codes:
E1
Power supply error (continuously checked)
E2
Signal path error (checked only during self test)
E3
NOT OK error (continuously checked).
The Maintenance and Troubleshooting section, Section 4, contains information

about how to resolve these errors.
Figure 3-2: Location of Error Indicators.

Error code E1 indicates a power supply error. The regulated power supplies inside
the 1900/25 monitor are continuously checked. If they fall outside of the
acceptable power supply range the monitor displays the El error code. An El error
could be caused by a poor power source external to the monitor, or a fault could
exist within the monitor itself.
25

Error code E2 is caused by a fault in the signal path. A signal path fault can only
be detected during a user initiated self test. If a signal path error is detected during
a self test, then an E2 error code will be shown on the LCD display. The signal path
check, which is made during self test, verifies that the peak-to-peak detector and
the setpoint threshold detectors are working properly. A signal path error could
mean that there is an internal fault within the 1900/25 monitor.
Error code E3 occurs when the monitor goes into a NOT OK situation. The monitor
continuously verifies that the system is OK. If it detects that a transducer input
signal is outside the expected range a NOT OK will result. A NOT OK may be
caused by faulty transducer field wiring, a bad transducer, or a bad connection.
26
3.2 LED Indicators

Four LED indicators on the 1900/25 monitor front panel show the status of the
monitor. They indicate whether the monitor and transducer are OK, if either the
Alert or Danger relay is in alarm, and whether the relays are bypassed. Table 3.2
summarizes how the LED operate.

3.3 Relay ModeSwitch

The Relay Mode switch lets you inhibit relays by placing the monitor in bypass.
The Relay Mode switch has two positions, Normal and Bypass. Table 3.3 describes
the behavior of the Relay Mode switch.
Table 3.3: Relay Mode Switch

SWITCH SETTING
EFFECT ON RELAYS
Relays react to an alarm
condition
Relays do not react to an alarm

condition and the Bypass LED
comes on. Alert and Danger
LEDs continue to track alarm
conditions in a nonlatching
manner. If relays are activated
before the switch is set, they will
3.4 Setpoint Adjustment

Adjust the Alert and Danger setpoints by using the adjustment screws recessed
in the front panel of the monitor. The adjustment range for the Alert and Danger
setpoints is 2.54 to 50.8 mm/s (0.1 to 1.9 in/s). Use the LCD display to view the
setpoint value while adjusting it.
Place the monitor in bypass while adjusting the setpoint so the relays will not
activate accidentally. With the monitor placed in bypass, the Alert or Danger LED
will come on when the corresponding setpoint is adjusted below the vibration
level. If the monitor is taken out of bypass with one or both of these LEDs on, the
corresponding relays will activate as soon as the monitor is taken out of bypass.
28

Use a small screwdriver to adjust the setpoints. Figure 3-3 shows the location of
the switches and adjustment screws used in this prodedure.
Adjust the setpoints according to the following steps:
1. Place the monitor into Bypass by sliding the Relay Mode switch to the
Bypass position with the small screwdriver. The Bypass LED will come
on.
2. Slide the Display Mode switch to either the Alert or Danger position;
depending on which setpoint you wish to adjust.
Figure 3-3: Location of setpoint adjust screws, Display Mode switch and Relay Mode
Switch.
3. Use the small screwdriver to turn the setpoint adjust screw
corresponding to the setpoint that you wish to adjust. Turning the
screwdriver clockwise increases the setpoint. The value on the LCD
changes as the screw is turned. If you adjust the setpoint below the
vibration level the LED for the setpoint will come on.
4. When the desired setpoint level is showing on the LCD, verify that the
LED for that setpoint is off. If the LED is on when the monitor is taken
out of bypass, the relay corresponding to the LED will go into its alarm
state.
5. Place the Display Mode switch into the Normal position.
6. Slide the Relay Mode switch into the Normal position by using the small
screwdriver.
29
3.5 Resetting the Monitor

Use reset to unlatch a latched relay or to stop a flashing LED. You can reset the
monitor by pushing the Reset switch on the front panel or by pressing a remote
reset button that is connected to the remote reset terminals.
Remote reset can be accomplished by wiring a normally opened, momentarily
closed switch or button to the remote reset terminals. The remote reset contact
can be 33 m (1000 ft) from the monitor. The remote reset feature of the 1900/25
lets you reset the monitor without opening the enclosure containing the monitor.
3.6 Buffered Transducer Output

Use the buffered transducer output to obtain the raw integrated transducer
signal. The sensitivity of the buffered transducer zero to peak output is 500
mV/in/s (19.7 mV/mm/s). The buffered transducer output coaxial connector is
located on the front panel of the monitor. Use this connector to attach diagnostic
equipment such as an oscilloscope or a recorder to the buffered velocity signal.
3.7 Initiating a Self Test

Self test is initiated by moving switch 6 of the 6-position Configuration switch to
the on position. Once the self test begins, move the switch back to the off
position. Self test lasts approximately 30 seconds.
When self test begins all the LEDs and numerical segments of the LCD turn on to
visually verify that they operate properly. During self test the relays stay in the
state they were in at the start of self test. During self test the power supplies are
checked, the signal path is verified, and the alarm detection circuitry is tested.
If any part of self test fails, an error code is displayed on the LCD. Error code El
corresponds to a power supply circuit failure. Error code E2 is a signal path or
alarm detection circuit failure. Error code E3 occurs when the monitor is NOT OK.
The monitor checks errors El and E3 continuously, not just during self test. Error
E2, a signal path failure, can only be checked during self test, and will remain on
until the monitor is reset even if the failure no longer exists.

Section 4 - Maintenance & Troubleshooting
4. Maintenance & Troubleshooting

This section describes how to maintain and trouble shoot your 1900/25 monitor.
Instructions on how to adjust the LCD's zero potentiometer and the Trendmaster
2000 interface's gain adjust potentiometer are included if this procedure should
ever become necessary. If you encounter a problem with the 1900/25 monitor, use
the troubleshooting table at the end of this section before you contact a Bently
nevada Product Service representative.
4.1 General Maintenance

Although the 1900/25 Vibration 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 and that reliable machinery protection is being
provided. Inspect the following items:
The monitor is powered up, the OK LED is on, and the LCD is displaying 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.
The Alert and Danger setpoints are properly set and the relay time delays
and Alert relay drive settings are correct.
During this inspection you should also exercise the self test function of the
1900/25 Vibration Monitor.
If a Trendmaster 2000 is being used, it will uncover most NOT OK conditions that
exist with the 1900/25 Vibration Monitor and the accelerometer. A periodic
inspection of the monitor and transducer may catch a potential problem before it
degrades to the point that the Trendmaster 2000 displays it as a NOT OK or NO
DATA.
31
4.2 Monitor Adjustments

Two circuits of the 1900/25 monitor may require adjustment. Since these
circuits are set at the factory, they should not require adjusting during installation.
However, if you suspect that the monitor is out of adjustment, use the following
two procedures to adjust these circuits in the monitor.
4.2.1 LCD Zero Adjustment

Use this procedure to adjust the LCD to read zero when no transducer is
connected. Because of the noise floor of the transducer, the monitor will display a
low value, less than 0.010 in./s (0.254 mm/s), when a transducer is connected and
no vibration is present. This adjustment does not affect the full scale range of the
monitor.
Adjust the LCD at an electronics workbench rather than at the installation site. A
qualified electronics technician or engineer should perform the calibration. If you
are not capable of performing this procedure, contact your nearest Bently Nevada
sales office and arrange either to send the monitor in for calibration or have
Product Service come to your facility and perform this procedure.
Setting the LCD zero requires the following tools and parts:
32
A small straight blade screwdriver.
A power source for the monitor being calibrated (110 Vac, 220 Vac, or +24
Vdc).
A 3-conductor cable for attaching the power source to the monitor.
Two 3 kQ resistors.
Several 50 mm (2 inch), 18 AWG wires.

The calibration procedure for the LCD is described in the following steps:
1. Remove the case cover by placing pressure with a screwdriver, or

similar object, between the case cover and base.
2. Locate the LCD zero adjust potentiometer labeled R20. It is next to the
dip switch on the top circuit board.
3. Connect the resistors and 18 AWG wires to the transducer terminal
strip according to the circuit shown in Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1: LCD zero calibration connections.
33

4. Connect the 3-conductor cable to the monitor power terminal strip and
plug the other end of the cable into the proper power source. Wait 30
seconds for the monitor to complete its power up and self test
functions. After the power up cycle has finished the green OK LED will
flash indicating that the monitor is now completely powered up and OK.
To stop the flashing push the reset button.
5. Turn the zero adjust potentiometer until the LCD display reads zero.
6. Unplug the power cable from the power source.
7. Disconnect the power cable from the power supply terminal strip.
8. Disconnect the resistors and jumper wires from the transducer terminal
strip.
The zero point of the LCD is now properly set. There is no span adjustment for
the LCD display. This zero adjust procedure zeros the LCD display for the monitor
only. Once a transducer is connected to the monitor, a low value LCD reading, less
than 0.250 mm/s (0.010 in/s), will be present when no vibration is present. This
reading results from the electrical noise floor of the transducer and monitor
system.
4.2.2 Adjustment of the Monitor's Trendmaster 2000 Interface

The gain of the analog signal from the monitor to Trendmaster 2000 can be
adjusted by using one of the potentiometers on the bottom circuit board. Gain
adjustment should be done by a skilled electronics technician or engineer at an
electronics workbench rather than at the installation site. The procedure to adjust
this interface requires the following tools and equipment:
A small straight blade screwdriver.
A power source for the monitor being calibrated (110 Vac, 220 Vac, or +24
Vdc).
A 3-conductor cable for attaching the power source to the monitor.
One of the following TIM testers:

(Preferred method) Snapshot TIM tester (PDC 250) or Snapshot for Win CE
(PDC550) with TIM tester update, and TIM Tester cable with ProTIM-C
connector replaced with an IDC connector. or(Optional method) TIM Tester (Bently Nevada P/N 87303-01) and a short
length of Trendmaster 2000 system cable with IDC connectors installed on
both ends of the cable. (A short piece of system cable is included with the
TIM tester).

Several 50 mm (2 inch), 18 AWG wires
Adjust the Trendmaster 2000 interface according to the following steps:

1. Remove the case cover by applying pressure with a screwdriver, or
similar object, between the case cover and the base.
2. Locate the Trendmaster 2000 gain adjust potentiometer on the
bottom circuit board. The potentiometer is labeled R21 and is
located next to the Trendmaster 2000 connectors.

Section 6 - Appendix B - Peak Detection Methods
6. Appendix B - Peak Detection Methods

Understanding the methods for peak to peak amplitude detection of a vibration
signal can help you understand why the 1900/25 Vibration Monitor is more
accurate than some other monitors and why the readings of the 1900/25 and the
Trendmaster 2000 can differ slightly under certain circumstances. This appendix
summarizes the typical methods of detecting peak to peak amplitude and then
compares the relative value of each one.
6.1 Peak Detector Theory

Three methods of peak detection are commonly used in vibration measurment
instruments - the simple peak method, the peak-to-peak divided by 2 method, and
RMS converted to peak method. The most accurate method for detecting the peakto-peak amplitude of vibration signals is the peak-to-peak divided by 2 method.
A simple peak detector circuit will find the maximum positive peak of a waveform.
Over some period of time, usually about one second, the peak value held by the
circuit decays so the circuit can obtain the next peak value. A peak detection
scheme using only a positive peak detector is less accurate because it assumes
that the vibration signal has equal positive and negative peaks. When measuring
an input vibration signal with a small positive peak and a large negative peak, for
example, this detector erroneously indicates a low vibration amplitude. Since
complex machine vibration signals are rarely symmetrical, a detector that
measures both positive and negative peaks is more accurate.
Peak-to-peak divided by 2 detection is a better method and is used by Bently
Nevada monitors for velocity or acceleration signals. This method finds both the
positive and negative peaks of the input signal and adds them together to get a
peak-to-peak value. Since peak value is the standard for vibration data displayed
in velocity units, the monitor divides the peak-to-peak value by two, resulting in
the peak value of the signal. The peak values held by this circuit also decay so the
circuit can detect future peaks. The peak-to-peak divided by two method ensures
that all the vibration signal from a machine, both positive and negative, is measured
and the result accurately reflects the overall vibration of the machine.
Another peak detection method is RMS converted to peak, which uses a true
RMS detection circuit to find the RMS value of the input signal, then applies a
conversion factor to find the peak value. Although some applications may call for
RMS measurements, this method is poor for determining true peak values because
the relation between RMS and peak values depends on the shape of the signal.
Typically, instruments convert RMS to peak by dividing by V2, which is only accurate
for a pure, symmetrical sinusoid. Since complex machine vibration signals are
rarely pure or symmetrical sine waves, the peak value obtained from this method
is usually in error.

Parts
9.1 Installation Hardware
The following items listed below can be used as part of the installation of the
1900/25 Vibration Monitor.
Weatherproof Enclosure
A weatherproof enclosure protects the 1900/27 Vibration Monitor from wet and
corrosive environments. Two enclosures are listed below. When properly installed,
these weatherproof enclosures will meet Type 4X specifications.
Constructed of thermoplastic polyester resin (PBT), the 190100-01 weatherproof
enclosure has a clear polycarbonate cover to allow viewing of the LCD display
and status LEDs.
When properly installed, the 03636315 RFI Resistant Enclosure protects the
1900/25 monitor from strong radio signals generated from hand-held
transmitters. It consists of a stainless steel body and a door with a metal screened
window. Along with the 190520 Accelerometer and properly grounded conduit, this
housing can significantly reduce the possibility of nuisance alarms caused by radio induced
signals.

10. Appendix F - Hazardous Area

Approvals
Canadian Standards Association Approvals
The 1900/25 vibration monitor is CSA NRTL/C approved for Class 1, Division 2,
Groups A,B,C,D hazardous areas when installed per drawing 105352.
The table below lists the approval drawings in the order they appear.
APPLICATION NOTE
When the accelerometer is used with barriers
in an intrinsically safe installation, the
transducer common is connected to the
barrier's earth ground. Since the transducer
common is also connected to the power input
common inside the 1900/25, care must be
taken to avoid a ground loop which could arise
from connecting the power input common to
earth ground. Note that the approval drawings
for the 89129 and 190520 Accelerometers
require that the total earth ground loop
impedance at the barrier be less than one
ohm.
