Vibration Alarm Loop Checks

Alert and alarm functionality is the most important aspect of any condition monitoring system protecting critical rotating equipment. Vibration alarms prevent critical machinery from suffering a catastrophic failure and keep technicians working around the equipment safe. Vibration shutdown alarms also halt production, costing the company money. It is vitally important that alert and alarm functionality, along with shutdown logic, work correctly in an industrial environment.

Portable Shaker Tables provide a solution for testing alarms whether they are triggered by proximity probes, moving coil velocity sensors, 4-20 mA vibration transmitters, or accelerometers. Performing a loop check can identify: incorrect sensor installation, cable issues, incorrect programming and scaling, miswiring, sources of noise that cause spiking, grounding issues, and more.
