Industrial Applications

Turbomachinery Monitoring
Provide phase reference for vibration analysis in steam turbines, gas turbines, and centrifugal compressors. Enable orbit plots and vector analysis for precise fault diagnosis.

Rotor Speed Measurement
Accurately measure shaft speed in variable-speed equipment. Detect overspeed conditions and provide speed feedback for control systems.

Vibration Phase Analysis
Determine vibration phase angle relative to shaft position. Essential for balancing operations and identifying unbalance, misalignment, and looseness.

Startup & Shutdown Monitoring
Track rotor behavior during critical speed transitions. Identify resonance frequencies and ensure safe passage through critical speeds.


System Integration

Compatible Components

  • Keyphasor Probes: 330500-02-00, 330525-01-00 (proximity or optical)
  • 3500 Rack: 3500/15, 3500/22M (power supply and rack chassis)
  • Monitor Modules: 3500/40M, 3500/42M (vibration monitors requiring phase reference)
  • Software: System 1, ADAPT for data analysis and trending

Typical Configuration

In a standard 3500 rack system:

  • Install one 3500/25 module per machine train
  • Connect Keyphasor probe(s) to module inputs
  • Module provides timing reference to all vibration monitors in rack
  • RPM data available via Modbus or proprietary protocols

Installation & Setup

Installation Steps

  1. Rack Slot Selection – Install in any available slot in 3500 rack (no specific position required)
  2. Keyphasor Probe Connection – Connect proximity probe or optical sensor to input terminals
  3. Configuration – Set number of events per revolution (typically 1 for single notch)
  4. Speed Scaling – Configure RPM calculation based on events per revolution
  5. Verification – Verify timing pulse and RPM reading during machine operation

Best Practices

  • Use dedicated Keyphasor probe (do not share with vibration measurement)
  • Install probe at stable shaft location (avoid areas with runout or scratches)
  • Ensure clean, sharp timing mark on shaft (notch, keyway, or reflective tape)
  • Verify signal quality using oscilloscope before final commissioning

What is a Keyphasor?

A Keyphasor is a once-per-revolution timing signal that provides a phase reference for vibration analysis:

  • Timing Mark: Physical feature on shaft (notch, keyway, or reflective tape)
  • Sensor: Proximity probe or optical sensor detects timing mark
  • Output: Digital pulse generated once per shaft revolution
  • Purpose: Enables phase-based diagnostics (orbit plots, vector analysis, balancing)

Why Keyphasor is Critical

Without Keyphasor reference, vibration data lacks phase information needed to:

  • ❌ Distinguish between unbalance and misalignment
  • ❌ Perform precision balancing operations
  • ❌ Generate orbit plots showing shaft motion
  • ❌ Identify direction of shaft precession (forward vs. reverse)

Troubleshooting

Problem Cause Solution
No Keyphasor signal Probe disconnected or damaged Check probe wiring, verify gap setting
Erratic RPM reading Multiple timing marks or runout Verify single clean timing mark on shaft
Intermittent signal Loose cable connection Tighten connectors, check for corrosion
Incorrect RPM value Wrong events-per-revolution setting Reconfigure for actual number of timing marks

Authenticity Guarantee

  • ❌ Inaccurate phase measurements leading to incorrect diagnostics
  • ❌ Missed timing pulses causing data gaps
  • ❌ Incompatibility with 3500 rack firmware

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between 3500/25 and 3500/25-01?
A: 3500/25 is standard Keyphasor module. 3500/25-01 (126398-01F) is enhanced version with improved signal processing.

Q: Can I use optical sensor instead of proximity probe?
A: Yes, module accepts both proximity probes and optical sensors. Configure input type accordingly.

Q: How many Keyphasor modules do I need?
A: Typically one module per machine train. Dual-input module can monitor two separate shafts.

Q: Can I hot-swap this module?
A: Yes, in redundant 3500 rack configurations. Standalone racks require shutdown for module replacement.
