Resetting Measurement Alarm Thresholds
The Idler Sound Monitor’s default alarm threshold settings are set to best detect idler
faults for typical conveyor conditions and should only be altered if they prove insufficient
for your conveyor conditions.
Procedure for determining specific conveyor alarm threshold settings:
• Perform a baseline survey – Using the default threshold settings, perform a
conveyor survey to determine how each of the four measurement alarm settings
applies to your conveyor conditions.
• Analyze the baseline measurement data - Using Microsoft Excel or other host
software, for each of the four measurements, determine if the default alarm
thresholds are set too low, too high, or are accurate as is.
• Determine more accurate measurement thresholds – Based on your analysis,
determine new measurement alarm thresholds as necessary. Alarm thresholds
should be set low enough to alarm on bad idler roller conditions, but not so low as
to cause false alarming.
• Update your survey settings with new measurement thresholds – Reference
this manual’s previous How to Set up a Conveyor Idler Survey section for details.
