4.4 INSTALLING THE EQUIPMENT
To perform the balancing measurements, you should have a triggering device and at least one vibration sensor
available. Take care to not change the position of the sensors during the entire balancing process.
4.4.1 Vibration sensor
Note: as phase measurement is required, Balancing module cannot be used with the WLS Sensor. This module
does not take in account the setting: Accelerometer link: Wire or Wireless (see § 2.2).
It is possible to use the following type of sensor:
 Accelerometer
 Velocimeter
 Proximity probe
It is advisable to locate the measurement points on the bearings. Indeed, vibrations created by the rotor are
transmitted to the frame at this point. The sensor (accelerometer, a velocimeter) must be fixed onto the machine
(with a cementing screw, stud or a magnet) in order to obtain a proper connection and a well-determined position
for the sensor.
Several measurement points may be needed. The required number of points is related to the type of machine to be
balanced.
Connection:
 1-plane balancing: vibration sensor is connected on channel 1 (Connector A)
 2-plane balancing:
o point 1 is connected on channel 1 (Connector A)
o point 2 is connected on channel 2 (Connector B)
For 3 or 4-plane balancing, 1 or 2 Y adaptors are needed:
 Y adaptor with ECTA output connector: ref FLC1003000 ECT-2ECT-ADPT_Y
 Y adaptor with BNC output connector: ref FLC1004000 ECT-2BNC-ADPT_Y
 3-plane balancing: 1 Y adaptor is needed on connector A
o point 1 is connected on channel 1
o point 2 is connected on channel 2
o point 3 is connected on channel 3
 4- plane balancing: 2 Y adaptors are needed
o point 1 is connected on channel 1
o point 2 is connected on channel 2
o point 3 is connected on channel 3
o point 4 is connected on channel 4
