System Description
SiViB Record 1500 is a compact unit for
complete machine condition monitoring.
The most important condition indicators
vibration, speed, temperature, and other
process parameters are handled in only
one monitor. Up to 370 data sets for all
inputs and time stamp may be stored
either in time intervals or based on
trigger events like alarm conditions. The
compact size and easy installation
makes SiViB ideal for use on motors,
pumps, fans etc. An input for selection
between two different alarm sets allows
the implementation on non continuously
running machines, such as machine
tools.
Functions:
Using the free configuration software, the ranges and alarm levels can be set easily and transferred
from a PC to SiViB via the standard RS 232 serial link using a nullmodem cable. The configuration
software runs under Windows 95, 98 and NT4.0.
During the operation of the machine, vibration is being monitored. When the vibration supersedes one
of the alarm setpoints, the according output will switch to alarm.
If meaningful, an input controlling the active set of alarm setpoints can be used. The machine control
system can provide the information if the machine is in idle or working under load. Different alarm
settings might make sense and can therefore be applied using this feature.
The alarm outputs are optically isolated transistors, allowing an easy interfacing to a PLC System.
LED´s on the front panel indicate the alarm status.
The measurement values can be stored in an internal memory either in selected intervals or on trigger
events, such as alarm conditions. The memory can hold up to 370 data sets each consisting of all
input levels and a time stamp. The data can be transferred to a PC using the RS323 serial link or
alternatively by a smartcard. The card is first inserted into the SiViB for being loaded with the data.
Then it is taken to a PC with a smartcard reader connected. The software SiViB Record Control
unloads the data from the card into the PC and stores to data files. A graphical trend display window in
the software makes it easy to identify deterioration of machine condition.
The optionally available software package SiViB Record Control Pro adds features like frequency
spectras and run up / coast down for further diagnosis and troubleshooting more complex machinery
problems. Using this advanced software saves you the costs for an additional vibration analyzer.

by the end user. Please refer to the nameplate of the instrument, which states the configuration.
24 to 26: Digital inputs DigIn 1 to 3, opto coupler 24 V DC inputs for connection to PLC outputs. The
status of these inputs get recorded with every other storage of vibration data.
DigIn 1 can get configured as “Event enable”. If this is set, Events will only get stored if DigIn4 = high.
DigIn2 can be used as counter for operating hours
DigIn3 can be used as counter for tool change operations
27: Digital input „store“. A 24 V high signal causes the storage of a data set.
28: Digital Ground for digital inputs
29: Reserved for option CAN bus Ser+
30: Reserved for option CAN bus Ser-
Earting and Grounding: Depending on the earth situation it might be necessary to ground the
instrument using one of the analog ground terminals (e.g. 4,17,19, 21). Please take care to use a
“clean”earth carrying no leakage currents or other signals, as those would be seen as noise signals
on the instruments inputs.
If the earth is heavily contaminated, it might be better to keep the monitor ungrounded and the sensor
cable shield connected to signal ground only (terminal 4).
Where to mount the instrument: Choose a place for mounting the instrument, which is as away from
sources of electrical noise. Motor drives, unshielded power cables or inductive transformers could be
such sources, which should be avoided.

Install Chipcard Reader
The optional chip card reader has an 9-pin SubD connector for the COM Port and a PS/2 connector
for powering the device. Both connectors must be connected to your PC. If you are using a Keyboard
or mouse on the PS/2 port, this can be connected to the back side of the card reader connector. The
driver of the card reader will find the reader automatically, so you do not need to set the port manually.
There are other types of card readers with only the COM Port connector, and those for use on USB
Ports. These types do not require additional power connections.
If you are using the card reader for Record Control only, you do not need to install any software that
comes with the card reader. The Record Control installation installs all necessary drivers.
The card reader is an option. You can download data from SiViB Record without a card reader, using
the RS 232 connection.
Attention: If you are using any of the software that comes with the card reader, make sure you close
all these applications before you use the card reader for Record Control.

setting chooses which alarm set to use
for the overview table.
Delete data in instrument after unload.
Deletes the data memory of the
instrument after automatic unload. If
you are using “email on alarm”, this
avoids repeated alarming of old alarm
conditions.
Set time of unload
Opens a window for setting the time
and interval of automatic unloads.
Under „time of next unload“, set the
time and date of the next automatic
trend data transfer from the
instrument(s) to the PC.
hour:minute:second
day.month.year
The unload interval specifies the time
interval between automatic unload
operations.
After each unload procedure, the
interval will be added to the unload
time and stored as new next unload
time.

Logfiles
Timestamp in live files
Realtime in seconds since 01.01.1904, 12:00 or relative time in seconds since start of recording.
Please find more details on this option in the chapter describing store to file option in live mode.
Logfile for communication
If set to “write logfile”, all communication telegrams sent between instrument and PC get logged to a
file. Attention: The log file will get very large if you keep it running for a longer time. Use this option for
troubleshooting only.
Error message if comms error in live mode.
On: In the case of communication errors a popup window showing an error message will appear and
wate for the user to confirm by clicking OK.

Configuration and
Commissioning
New Instrument
For commissioning a new SiViB connect the instrument to your PC using a null modem cable. Connect
the 24 Volts power supply and switch it on. Boot your PC and start Record Control. From main window
select New Instrument. Fill the next empty row of the table with the serial number (see nameplate)
and the names for the measurement points according to your application.
Example:
Click Store for saving to file and quitting the window.
Now you will find the instrument’s name in the selection box in the main window.
Select the required instrument.

Instrument Setup
Click Setup, Read Setup from Instrument serial
Select all settings according to your requirements. The different settings have the following meanings:
Unit
Depending on sensor type and input, different units of measurement are selectable. If you are using
accelerometers, you can select vibration [mm/s RMS] and bearing condition units Spike Energy [gSE].
Velocity is always the first channel, bearing condition the second. Channels 3 and 4 are dependent on
the type of SiViB you are using. SiViB 1501 and 1511 have analogue inputs in line 3 to 6, which could
be used for 0 –10 V DC or temperature. The type of input is defined by the hardware. Refer to the
nameplate of the instrument and set the input configuration accordingly. SiViB 1502 and 1512 both
have a second input for an accelerometer. Set line 3 for vibration [mm/s] and line 4 for bearing
condition [gSE]. On these type of instruments analogue input 4 is not connected.
Range
Select the required measurement range. Please remember that the values of your reading could be
significantly above normal level in the case of developing defects.
Analogue voltage input is always 0 –10 V DC.
For temperature sensors, select the sensor type (see nameplate). The range for temperature is 0 –
200 degrees Celsius.
Alarm Set 0
SiViB has 3 alarm outputs A, B and C. You can set an alarm level for each output. The output will
change state if one of the corresponding alarm levels is superseded. For example, use alarm A for
warning and alarm B for shutdown. All alarms can be set over the whole measurement range. The
alarms of the different inputs and units are OR wired to the outputs. This means any of the units could
switch the output when superseded. If you want an output to be effected by only one unit, set the
alarm levels of all other units to maximum for this colon.
