MF Series

MF-1220 Multichannel Vector Filter

The MF-1220 Vector Filter supplies the optimum data for vibration vector analysis of
large turbines and other rotating machinery. The MF-1220 accepts the overall
vibration output from vibration transducers (on up to 12 channels) and the phase
reference signal (1 pulse per revolution) from a phase marker transducer, and outputs
the vibration vector X-Y components and overall amplitude in real time on separate
channels. It also provides the flexibility to cope with both single and dual rotor
turbines. (the maximum number of channels for dual shaft monitoring is 6 channels/5
channels.)

■ Main Functions 6. Accepts both displacement and velocity signals

1. High measuring accuracy
High accuracy and sophisticated analytical functions are realized by
adoption of a high performance tracking filter using a high efficiency
multiply type D/A converter. Filter bandwidth is selectable between
0.2Hz /2Hz / AUTO.
2. Capable of analyzing vibrations in the micro range
The high dynamic range of the tracking filter (more than 60dB) and
3 selectable scale factors permit analysis of vibrations in the micro
range based on the X (real) and Y (imaginary) information.
7. Selectable input sensitivity
3. Order ratio (1N, 2N) vibration analysis
A function for analyzing the vibration frequency components, shaft
rotating speed frequency (1N) and twice the shaft rotating speed fre
quency (2N), necessary for dynamic diagnosis of rotating machinery
is provided as standard. Change-over between the two functions by
built-in switch or external TTL signal.
The Vector Filter is designed to accept and process vibration
inputs both in the form of displacement signals from non-contacting
eddy-current transducers and in the form of velocity signals from
velocity transducers.
Velocity vibration signals are processed after conversion to a
proportional displacement amount in the built-in integrated circuit.
Because the channels can be operated independently, both
displacement and velocity signals can be processed at the same
time.
Each channel is provided with a switch for changing the input
sensitivity of the signal input from an eddy-current transducer. The
sensitivity of the signal input from a velocity transducer can be
adjusted with the built-in potentiometer.
This affords higher flexibility in conjunction with transducers having
a different input sensitivity.

4. Coordinate polarity for nyquist plots is selectable
The coordinate polarity (rotating direction) can be toggled between
clockwise and counterclockwise by means of a built-in switch.
5. Choice between auto trigger and manual trigger
Auto trigger with excellent followup response adopted as trigger for
the phase reference signal. Manual adjustment of the trigger
threshold is also possible.
8. Easy change-over between single and dual shaft
arrangements
Change-over between single and dual shaft monitoring is made
easy by simply exchanging a card.
No hardware changes are necessary.
9. 5-digits digital display indicator of machine speed
Equipped with a digital display to provides a 5-digit readout of the
machine speed.
