Safety Arrangements
1. Safety Arrangements
1:1. General
All persons performing installation or service on rotating
machines and electrical equipment should be authorised
and familiar with general safety rules and IEC symbols as
well as local requirements, rules and regulations. In case
of doubt the local management should be consulted.
SPM will not be responsible for any accident caused
by persons not observing these Safety Arrangements.
1:2. Disconnection
Before starting installation work on machines, make sure
that main power is off and will stay off until the work is
done. Do not simply pull the switch - remove the fuses,
lock the fuse box, put up warning signs. Check all ter-
minals to ensure that the equipment is voltage free by
using a voltage tester.
1:3. Electrical Installation
Always read the instructions delivered with the equip-
ment before performing installation or service on electric
equipment. If you are in doubt, please contact your lo-
cal SPM representative before installing the equipment.
Damage of the equipment caused by incorrect installa-
tion is not covered by product warranty. Before starting
installation work, make sure that the main power switch
is in off position and will stay off until the work is done.
Check that all terminals, marked with protective earth
IEC symbol, are properly connected to the protective
earthing conductor of the building installation wiring. In
some countries, the term "protective grounding" is used
instead of "protective earthing". Earth and ground are
used synonymously in this installation instruction. Choose
installation tools that are safe and suitable for its working
environment. Electrical risks can sometimes be eliminated
by using air, hydraulic or handpowered tools. These are
especially useful in harsh conditions.
1:4. System Components
To ensure optimum safety for user and environment, only
original system components available from SPM should
be used. When using non-original components, the com-
pliance with EU directive with respect to electric safety,
EMC and machine safety is not guaranteed by SPM.
1:5. Reapplying Power
For human safety, ensure the electrical equipment or in-
stallation is electrically safe. Before starting the machine,
make sure that all protection covers on the machine are
mounted and secured.
2. Installation Precautions
2:1 Installation of Measuring Units and
Measuring Terminals
Measuring units and terminals should be located in a
protected position assigned by the local management.
The units shall be easily accessible for undisturbed
measurements and service. Signal cables should not be
located close to power supply cables. The measuring
equipment should be intended and specified for use in
existing environment.
It is important that you read the operating instructions
completely and follow all safety precautions before
operating the measuring units. Electrical connections
and wiring should be performed only by suitably trained
personnel.
2:2 Work Regulations
All personnel should be provided with the local work
regulation before any work is commenced.
It is important that parts of metal, rubber and plastics
are dumped in special containers. Such parts can cause
bad accidents and production disturbances if dropped
on the wrong place. From an environmental point of
view, wrapping materials should be collected so as not
to cause damage.
Precautions should also be taken when drilling, tapering
and grinding to avoid chips and grindings causing ac-
cidents and production disturbances.
2:3 Inspection and Acceptance
Inspection of transducer positioning, connections, cable
laying and strapping should take place after finished
installation. The cables should be marked in accord-
ance with agreement with the local contact. Inspection
protocol in accordance with the local regulations should
be used.

Introduction
The purpose of this document is to provide the user with
information about how to install and operate the Intel-
linova Parallel unit.
Technical Overview
The 4 channel vibration measuring unit measures differ-
ent parameters depending on what kind of transducers
are used. Typical vibration parameters are measured
when using a standard IEPE accelerometer. Shock pulse
parameters can be measured in addition to vibration
parameters when using a transducer of type DuoTech.
The following parameters can be measured using differ-
ent type of transducers:
Installation Procedure
Transducer Parameters
Standard IEPE ACC, VEL, DISP, HD ENV
DuoTech ACC, VEL, DISP, HD ENV
HDm/HDc, LR/HR HD
The 4 channels are running in parallel which enables a
high rate of measuring results.
The unit can operate in two different modes: Online or
Offline. In Online mode the unit operates as a MODBUS
RTU and responds to commands from the MODBUS Mas-
ter. The selector switches on the front define the address.
The unit can respond to commands that:
• configures the operation of the unit
• requests the results from vibration measurements.
In Offline mode the selector switches defines the con-
figuration that the unit should operate in. The user can
configure the unit to operate in many different ways
by first creating a configuration file in a PC and then
transferring the file to the unit. By changing the selec-
tor switches the unit automatically changes from one
configuration to another.
A software tool, PRO230, is available to use for con-
figuration of the unit for offline operation. See chapter
“Software” for more info.
Information about the registers when it operates as a
MODBUS RTU is described in "Appendix A" in the end
of this manual.
Mechanical Installation
The INSMB4V unit is designed to be mounted on a DIN
rail. Do not mount on a rail that is exposed to excessive
vibration, max level of vibration is 5 mm/s. The unit is
recommended to be mounted inside an enclosure with
IP not less than 54.

71421B "Installation of Measuring Equipment".
• Connect the RPM probes that can be of type NPN
or PNP.
• Connect the power cables that supply a voltage in
the range 15-36 Vdc.
• Switch on the power. The S LED should flash green
after the startup process.
Commissioning Procedure

Operating Instructions
User Interface
The front panel of INSMB4V unit has the following fea-
tures:
• Three selector switches named SETTINGS
• One push button named KEY
• One connector named COM
• One BNC connector named OUT
• One LED named S (Status)
• Four LEDs named CHANNEL (1, 2, 3, 4)
SETTINGS
These selector switches are used to put the unit in a
state where it performs a specified task according to the
list below.
• SETTINGS=000: Not used.
• SETTINGS=001-032: Used in Online mode when
the unit is operating as a MODBUS RTU.
• SETTINGS=033-098: Not to be used
• SETTINGS=099: Used when the unit should receive
a configuration file from a PC connected to COM.
• SETTINGS=100-899 Used in Offline mode where
the configuration file defines the configuration of
the unit.
• SETTINGS=900-997: Not used.
• SETTINGS=998: Used for test of DIO.
• SETTINGS=999: To be used when the firmware of
the unit should be upgraded.
CHANNEL
The four LEDs show the status of the four channels. The
different states are shown as:
• No light: The channel has not been initiated or no
active measurement.
• Constant green: The channel has been initiated,
measurements are running, the results are below
the alarm level and the Bias Test has passed.
• Constant yellow: Alarm state. Measurements are
running and the latest result or a previous result
was above the yellow alarm limit.
• Constant red: Alarm state. Measurements are run-
ning and the latest result or a previous result was
above the red alarm limit.
• Flashing red: Bias error or a measurement error.
• Flashing yellow: DSP Time out.
• All four LEDs flashing red: The value of SETTINGS is
not a valid value for measurement.
KEY
This push button can be used in two modes:
• An alarm can be reset by pushing the KEY twice if
an alarm has been generated and the configuration
of alarm reset is set to Manual.
• By pushing KEY the LEDs CHANNEL indicates which
channel is connected to the BNC connector OUT.
This works when the unit is in normal operation and
the user would like to use an external instrument to
perform a measurement from the BNC connector
OUT. Push twice to move to next channel.
Note: The measurements via the BNC connector
OUT operate independently from other measure-
ments.
S
The LED S shows the overall status of the unit. The dif-
ferent states are shown as:
• Green slow flashing: The unit is operating normally.
• Green fast flashing: The unit is communicating over
either the COM port or the RS485 port.
COM
This 4 pole connector is used to connect a PC to the unit
by using the communication cable SPM 15484. The SPM
software PRO230 is used in these cases:
• When the configuration file is to be transferred from
a PC to the unit (SETTINGS=099).
• When the firmware of the DSP is to be upgraded
(SETTINGS=099).
• When the firmware of the Host processor is to be
upgraded (SETTINGS=999).
See chapter “Software” and chapter "Upgrade of Firm-
ware" later in this manual for more information.
OUT
The BNC connector is used when an external instrument
is used to measure from any of the four channels. The
incoming signals are buffered before connected to OUT.

Measurements
Measurements
The unit measures the following parameters:
• ACC
• VEL
• DISP
• HD ENV
• SPM HDm/HDc
• SPM LR/HR HD
The unit also measures a time waveform and calculates
a frequency spectrum from this. The spectrum is used
to calculate the symptoms where a symptom is the rms
value of all frequencies included in the definition of
the symptom. Three symptoms can be created which
are based on up to 9 frequency bands defined by the
user. Each frequency band consists of a low and a high
frequency limit, and the band consist of all frequencies
within the range.
The unit can be configured to use a fixed RPM or to use
order tracking. With a fixed RPM the sampling frequency
is constant and based on the selected frequency range.
If a RPM signal is available order tracking can be used.
Using order tracking means that the number of samples
per revolution is constant which implies that the sampling
frequency varies when the RPM varies.
All measured parameters and symptoms are also stored
as a CMA parameter (CMA=cumulative moving average)
where the results are weighted in an exponential manner
to create a moving average. The user defines the factor
that controls how fast the cma reacts to a change in the
input signal.
Illustration of the Cumulative Moving Average (CMA) and how it reacts to a
step change of the input signal.
Illustration of CMA

Alarm
Alarm levels
The vibration parameters (ACC, VEL and DISP) and the
SPM parameters (HDm/HDc, LR/HR) can generate an
alarm based on two alarm levels (red/yellow) defined
by the user. The symptoms and the Cumulative moving
average use one alarm level.
Alarm delay
The alarm can use a delay which can be of three types:
1. No delay
2. Delay based on time
3. Delay based on number of measurements
No delay: One single measurement above the alarm level
generates an alarm.
Delay based on time: If the time is set to e.g. 60 seconds
an alarm will be generated if all measurements made
during a time interval of 60 s are above the alarm level.
Delay based on number of measurements: If the num-
ber of measurements is set to e.g. 10, an alarm will be
generated if 10 consecutive measurements are above
the alarm level.
NOTE: The alarm delay setting is not unique for each
channel. When you have selected a type of alarm delay,
this setting is used by all 4 channels.
Resetting alarms
There are two ways to bring the unit back into a normal
state when an alarm has been generated.
Auto reset
The unit can be configured to use "Alarm auto reset"
which means that the unit will leave the alarm state when
a new measurement is below the alarm level.
Manual reset
The unit can also be configured to use "Alarm manual
reset" which means that the KEY button must be pushed
twice for the unit to leave the alarm state.

Digital Inputs/Outputs and RPM Inputs
The unit has 6 independent DIO (Digital Inputs / Outputs)
that the user can select to use as either an input or as
an output.
Any of the measured parameters can be linked to a Digi-
tal Output (DO) which is activated when an alarm is gen-
erated. The red and yellow alarm can use different DO
for the first measurement. The red and yellow alarm for
the second measurement (HDc or HR) uses the same DO.

An input channel can be linked to any of the 6 DIO and be
used as a Digital Input if the measurements on that channel
is to be controlled by an external equipment. A high (low)
input would enable (disable) the measurements.
Transfer characteristics for Digital Inputs:
Positive-going threshold voltage: typ 8 V, max 10 V
Negative-going threshold voltage: typ 4 V, min 2 V
The unit has two RPM inputs for standard RPM probes
of type NPN or PNP. Order tracking can be used when
a RPM sensor is connected.
The RPM Inputs can also be used to start and stop a
measurement. An RPM value (RPM Low Limit) can be
set in the configuration of the unit so that a measure-
ment starts when the measured RPM exceeds the RPM
Low Limit.
The different channels can use a different RPM Low Limit.
The RPM Low Limit is compared to the RPM configuration
of the first assignment (out of 3) in each channel.

Configuration for Offline Mode
When the mechanical and electrical installation has been
done, the unit is ready to receive a configuration file if it
is to be operated in the offline mode. This file is a text
file that contains information about:
1) Which channels should be active
2) What measurements to execute
3) How to respond to a result from a measurement
4) How to respond if an alarm is generated
All this information is linked to a unique value of SET-
TINGS and the configuration file can contain up to 100
configurations which the user can select by changing the
value of SETTINGS on the front panel. If the SETTINGS
value is not found in the configuration file, the LEDs on
the front indicate this by flashing red.
See chapter "Software" for more info about how to create
the configuration file.
Configuration for Online Mode
When the selector switches have been set to a value of
SETTINGS=001-032, the unit will operate in online mode.
The unit should receive commands from a MODBUS Mas-
ter, e.g. a PLC. The commands should provide the same
information as stored in the configuration file used in offline
mode. In addition to this the unit also allows the MODBUS
Master to read registers where the measuring results are
stored. See "Appendix A - Register specification" in the
end of this manual for more information.
When the unit is restarted in online mode, the registers will
normally be 0 (default) and the user has to configure the
registers in a meaningful way to set the unit in a measuring
mode. But if the unit has a configuration file loaded and
this file contains a setting=100 the unit will read those
settings and starts to operate according to the settings
in this file. This can be useful for an operator who only
wants to read out the results when connecting the unit to
e.g. a PLC. In this way the software PRO230 can be useful
for a user who wants to operate the unit in online mode.
Communication parameters:
Bits per second: 19200
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None
Configuration
Maintenance
Scheduled Service
A functional test is recommended to be performed with
an interval of three years.
Troubleshooting
If the unit is not operating correctly, first check that it
has been installed according to the instructions, then
perform a functional test. If the test fails the unit should
be returned to SPM Instrument for service.
Replacement and On-site Repair
All service of the unit that requires the unit to be opened
must be performed by SPM Instrument. Accessories like
transducers and cables may be replaced by the user.
Upgrade of Firmware
The unit is delivered with the latest firmware. If it would
be necessary to upgrade the firmware, this can be done
on site using a PC connected to the unit with communica-
tion cable (SPM 15484) connected to COM on the front
panel. With the selection switches in position 999, the
unit enters a state where it can receive new firmware. A
new firmware is transferred to the unit by using "PRO240
Intellinova Parallel Service Software".
See chapter"Upgrade of Firmware" later in this manual
for more information.
Decommissioning and Removal
If the unit is to be taken out of operation, the voltage
supply mustbe disconnected before disconnecting the
remaining cables. The unit can then be dismounted from
the DIN rail.

– 10 – 72123 B
Intellinova Parallel INSMB4V
Functional Test
Functional Test
The recommended functional test after installation is
done by simulating an alarm. Connect a transducer to
one of the VIB channels on the unit. The functional test
is normally done in offline mode where the transducer
vibration is simulated by hand. Correct operation of the
unit can be tested by changing the vibration level.
The test is intended to simulate a transducer amplitude
of the vibration signal above and below the alarm levels
of the unit. The correct response of the unit can be seen
on the LEDs indicating the status of each channel and
also by detecting the status of the digital outputs that
can be configured to be activated when an alarm state
is detected.
The functional test can be carried out with an offline
mode configuration made with the software PRO230.
The recommended setting during the test for channel
1 to 4 is:
• Measurement parameter VEL rms
• An alarm level is set at 1.0 mm/s
• DIO1 is activated at alarm
• Auto reset of alarm is used
Test Procedure
• Connect the vibration transducer to channel 1.
• Do not move the transducer.
• Verify that DIO1 = 0 and the LED on channel 1 is
green.
• Simulate a transducer vibration by shaking the
transducer by hand.
• Verify that DIO1 = 1 and the LED on channel 1 is
red.
• Do not move the transducer.
• Verify that DIO1 = 0 and the LED on channel 1 is
green.
• Repeat the above operations for channel 2, 3 and 4
if needed.
Extended Functional Test
The extended functional test is done by connecting Test
Generator STG-02 and Transducer Converter 17093 to
one of the VIB channels on the unit, see Figure 1. The
functional test is normally done in offline mode where
the STG-02 generates a well-defined vibration signal to
Figure 1: How to setup a functional test where STG-02 is
used as a signal source and 17093 as a transducer equiva-
lent feeding the signal to the measuring unit INSMB4V.

simulate real signals. Correct operation of the unit can be
tested by changing the amplitude of the vibration signal
above and below the alarm levels of the unit. The correct
response of the unit can be seen on the LEDs indicating
the status of each channel, and also by detecting the
status of the digital outputs that can be configured to be
activated when an alarm state is detected.
The functional test can be carried out with an offline
mode configuration made with the software PRO220. The
recommended setting for channel 1 to 4 is:
• An alarm level is set at 2.0 mm/s
• DIO1 is activated at alarm
• Auto reset of alarm is used.
Follow these steps in order to verify correct operation of
the measuring unit:
• Connect the STG-02 and 17093 to channel 1 as
shown in Figure 1.
• Set the STG-02 to generate a vibration signal of
VEL=1.8 mm/s at 80 Hz.
• Verify that DIO1 = 0.
• Increase VEL to 2.2 mm/s.
• Verify that DIO1 = 1 and that the LED on channel 1
is red.
• Decrease VEL to 1.8 mm/s.
• Verify that DIO1 = 0 and that the LED on channel 1
is green.
• Repeat the above operations for channel 2, 3 and 4.

Offline Configuration Software
Assuming that the software PRO230 has already been installed, configuring the unit to measure in offline mode is done
as follows. Create the measurement configurations that are needed. Each configuration is linked to a unique value of
SETTINGS on the front panel of the unit. Up to 100 different configurations can be created. The configuration file is
transferred from a PC to the unit by using the communication cable SPM 15484.
1) Start the software and select INSMB4V (type of Parallel unit). To see help text, mark a parameter and press F1.

GENERAL SETTINGS (B)
The following parameters can be set for the measuring unit:
Type of alarm:
No delay: An alarm will be generated when one measurement result
has exceeded the alarm level when No delay is selected.
Time based: An alarm will be generated when a measurement result
has exceeded the alarm level during a time interval greater than the
time given by the parameter Alarm delay.
No. of measurements: An alarm will be generated when a number of
measurement results (consecutive) has exceeded the alarm level as
many times as given by the parameter Alarm delay.
Alarm delay:
Has no function if Type of alarm = No delay. The unit of Alarm delay is seconds if type of alarm is Time based or
number of measurements if type of alarm is No. of measurements.
Auto reset:
An alarm is reset automatically if Auto reset = Yes. If Auto reset = No, a manual reset is required to reset the
alarm state. A manual reset is done by pressing the KEY button twice.
CMA Factor:
This factor defines how the CMA value is calculated. CMA is the Cumulative Moving Average which is a tech-
nique used for calculating an average value based on a sequence of results. The higher the CMA factor, the
slower the CMA response to a change of the input signal. CMA Factor = 1 means that the CMA value follows
without delay.
DO Logic:
DO Logic defines the logic used to control the Digital Outputs. When DO Logic=0 (default), the Digital Outputs
will be in a low state when there is no alarm and a high state when there is an alarm. When DO Logic=1 the
Digital Outputs will be in a high state when there is no alarm and a low state when there is an alarm.
SETTING (C)
Select a Setting value in the range 100-899 for the configuration. The
SETTINGS selector switches on the Parallel unit are then set to corre-
sponding value to perform the specified assignments according to the
configuration. Up to 100 configurations can be selected by changing
the Setting value.
Active Configurations:
After saving a configuration, it is listed under Active 'Configura-
tions'. To view or edit a configuration, mark it in the list.
All active configurations will be included in the configuration file
for download to the Parallel unit.
Copy an Active Configuration
Mark an active configuration in the list and click the button 'Copy setting'. Select a new value in the range 100-899 for
the new configuration where you want to paste the copy. Click the button 'Paste setting' and a new active configura-
tion is ready for modification. This saves time when the configurations are similar.

Acceleration: The measurement uses acceleration as amplitude unit. Each assignment generates one accelera-
tion rms value for the user defined frequency range. All other results such as symptoms values, time signal and
spectrum are expressed in the same unit.
Velocity: The measurement uses velocity as amplitude unit. Each assignment generates one velocity rms value
for the user defined frequency range. All other results such as symptoms values, time signal and spectrum are
expressed in the same unit.
Displacement: The measurement uses displacement as amplitude unit. Each assignment generates one displace-
ment rms value for the user defined frequency range. All other results such as symptoms values, time signal and
spectrum are expressed in the same unit.
HD ENV: The measurement uses the HD ENV technique where the user can select the filter to be used. The en-
veloping is applied on an acceleration signal. The measurement can also produce symptom values, time signal
and spectrum.
HDm/HDc: The measurement generates two results, HDm and HDc. The measurement can also produce symp-
tom values, time signal and spectrum.
LR/HR HD: The measurement generates two results, LR and HR. The measurement can also produce symptom
values, time signal and spectrum.
Type of sampling:
Order tracking: The sampling rate follows the RPM signal which means that the number of samples per revolu-
tion is constant. The sampling frequency is based on the value of Order selected by the user and the RPM signal.
Fixed Frequency: The sampling frequency is fixed and based on the frequency range selected by the user.
Alarm
Alarm Red A (VIB, HDm, LR):
The red alarm limit for vibration measurements (Acc, Vel, Disp, HD ENV) and shock pulse measurements HDm or
LR.
Alarm Yellow A (VIB, HDm, LR):
The yellow alarm limit for vibration measurements (Acc, Vel, Disp, HD ENV) and shock pulse measurements HDm
or LR.
Alarm A CMA (VIB, HDm, LR):
The alarm limit for the CMA (Cumulative Moving Average) of the vibration measurements (Acc, Vel, Disp, HD
ENV) and shock pulse measurements HDm or LR.
Alarm Red B (HDc, HR):
The red alarm limit for HDc or HR when measuring shock pulses.
Alarm Yellow B (HDc, HR):
The yellow alarm limit for HDc or HR when measuring shock pulses.

DO Alarm Red A:
Configures a DIO (1-6) as Digital Output. The output is activated if there is an alarm on Alarm Red A or AlarmA
CMA. Possible values are 0-6. The value 0 disables the activation of a Digital Output.
DO Alarm Yellow A:
Configures a DIO (1-6) as Digital Output. The output is activated if there is an alarm on Alarm Yellow A. Possible
values are 0-6. The value 0 disables the activation of a Digital Output.
DO Alarm B:
Configures a DIO (1-6) as Digital Output. The output is activated if there is an alarm on Alarm Red B, Alarm B CMA
or Alarm Yellow B. Possible values are 0-6. The value 0 disables the activation of a Digital Output.
Miscellaneous
Shaft diameter (mm):
Used together with RPM for calculating the HDi value, which
is a normalization factor subtracted from the measured “raw”
value. Normalization makes the shock pulse values independ-
ent of bearing size and RPM.
SEF ( 0 - 10):
Symptom Enhancement Factor is used to vary the “strength” of
the symptom enhancer algorithms. A higher factor will improve
the signal to noise ratio but the measuring time will increase; a
low factor will result in less clear spectrums but the measuring
time will be decreased. SEF=0 means no Symptom Enhancement.
TSA (2 - 999)
Time Synchronized Averaging is an average technique where
each measurement starts on the edge of the RPM signal. Any
signals not synchronized with the RPM signal will be attenu-
ated when the measurement is averaged in the time domain.
TSA=0 means No Time Synchronized Averaging.
RPM
When Type of sampling is set to Fixed Frequency, the only RPM pa-
rameter that needs to be defined is Speed (Channel, Factor, Pulses
per revolution, Max Dev are inactive in this state).
Speed:
Used when the RPM of the application is fixed.
Channel:
The channel used by the RPM sensor, RPM1 or RPM2.
Factor:
Used to convert the RPM result when the RPM sensor is measuring a different speed, e.g. on the other side of a
gearbox.
Pulses per revolution:
The number of pulses per revolution generated by the RPM sensor.
Max Dev %:
The maximum deviation (in %) of the RPM signal allowed during a measurement. A measurement error will result
if the RPM signal variation exceeds this value.
Also see RPM Low Limit by the settings for Transducer and DIO/RPM. The RPM Low Limit setting can be used for start-
ing and stopping measurements using RPM.

Spectrum
Lines:
The number of lines used in the spectrum. The more lines
the better the resolution of the spectrum, but the time of the
measurement is proportional to the number of lines.
Orders:
This value sets the upper limit of the spectrum when Type of
sampling = Order tracking. If Orders=100, it means that all
signals with a frequency up to RPM x100 will be included in the
spectrum.
HD Envelope filter:
The measurement uses the envelope technique where the user
can select a filter to be used. The enveloping is applied on an
acceleration signal.
Low Frequency limit:
Defines the low frequency limit (Hz) of the measurement.
High Frequency limit:
Defines the high frequency limit (Hz) of the measurement.
Used when Type of sampling = Fixed RPM.
SYMPTOM BAND (F)
For each assignment the user can define three symptoms.
Set Symptom to 'True' to active it.
Define the Symptom Bands you need, max. 10 in total
spread over the three symptoms. Each band is defined by an
upper and a lower frequency limit, in Hz or in orders when
Order tracking is used. The upper frequency limit must be
higher than the lower limit. Press 'Add' to save the symptom
band. Pressing 'Delete All' will delete all symptom bands.
Each assignment uses its own settings for symptoms. Mark
a symptom to view its symptom bands.
Symptom Alarm
Limit:
The alarm limit for the symptom.
Limit CMA:
The alarm limit for the CMA (Cumulative Moving Aver-
age) for the symptom.
DO Alarm:
Configures the alarm to a Digital Output. Possible values are 0-6 where 0 disables the function.

TRANSDUCER AND DIO/RPM (G)
DIO/RPM
Input:
Configures a DIO (1-6) as a Digital Input and let this signal
controls the measurement. A high (low) signal enables
(disables) the measurement. Possible values are 0-6 where
Input=0 enables the measurement all the time.
RPM Low Limit:
RPM Low Limit is a parameter used to run measurements
only when the RPM > RPM Low Limit. If RPM < RPM Low
Limit, the measurements will not start and the LED will
be black. Each channel has three assignments which
may have different RPM configurations (Speed, Channel,
Factor, Pulses per revolution, Max Dev). Please note that
RPM Low Limit is compared to the RPM as configured in
the first assignment.
Status Out:
Configures a DIO as Digital Output. The signal goes high if there is a Bias error or a measurement error. Possible
values are 0-6 where Status Out=0 disables the function.
Transducer
Bias max:
The max value of the Bias voltage (V). A Bias error will be produced if the measured bias voltage > Bias max.
Typical value for Bias max. is 16.
Bias min:
The min value of the Bias voltage (V). A Bias error will be produced if the measured bias voltage < Bias min.
Typical value for Bias min. is 5.
Sensitivity:
The sensitivity of the transducer expressed in mV/m/s2. The individual value for the transducer is given on the
calibration chart. Default value is 10.
