SECTION 2 - OPTIVIEW CONTROL CENTER INTRODUCTION
TURBINE EXCESSIVE VIBRATION WARNING 
MESSAGES
When MSSP4-Turbine Start Mode is set for Auto on 
Configuration Screen 1, the turbine must be fitted with 
two proximity probes on each end of the turbine to 
protect the turbine from excessive shaft vibration. The 
“Horizontal” designation refers to the proximity probe 
installed at approximately 45 degrees from the vertical 
center on the right side when facing the governor end 
of the turbine. The “Vertical” designation refers to the 
proximity probe installed at approximately 45 degrees 
from the vertical center on the left side when facing 
the governor end of the turbine. When MSSP4-Turbine 
Start Mode is set for Manual, MSSP13-Turbine Shaft 
Vibration Sensors must be set for Enabled on Configu-
ration Screen 1. When the sensors are enabled, the fol-
lowing messages are also enabled:
“ Warning - Turbine - Shaft End Horizontal 
Vibration”
The input signal from the Turbine Shaft End Horizon-
tal Vibration Transmitter is above the TVSP1-Turbine 
Vibration Alarm setpoint shown on the Alarm/Shut-
down Setpoints Screen. This check is bypassed dur-
ing shutdown until the start sequence is initiated. The 
message will automatically clear when the input signal 
decreases to 0.1 Mil below the Alarm Setpoint.
“ Warning - Turbine - Shaft End Vertical 
Vibration”
The input signal from the Turbine Shaft End Vertical 
Vibration Transmitter is above the TVSP1-Turbine Vi-
bration Alarm setpoint shown on the Alarm/Shutdown 
Setpoints Screen. This check is bypassed during shut-
down until the start sequence is initiated. The message 
will automatically clear when the input signal decreas-
es to 0.1 Mil below the Alarm Setpoint.
“ Warning - Turbine - Governor End Horizontal 
Vibration”
The input signal from the Turbine Governor End Hori-
zontal Vibration Transmitter is above the TVSP1-Tur-
bine Vibration Alarm setpoint shown on the Alarm/
Shutdown Setpoints Screen. This check is bypassed 
during shutdown until the start sequence is initiated. 
The message will automatically clear when the input 
signal decreases to 0.1 Mil below the Alarm Setpoint.
“ Warning - Turbine - Governor End Vertical 
Vibration”
The input signal from the Turbine Governor End 
Vertical Vibration Transmitter is above the TVSP1-
Turbine Vibration Alarm setpoint shown on the Alarm/
Shutdown Setpoints Screen. This check is bypassed 
during shutdown until the start sequence is initiated. 
The message will automatically clear when the input 
signal decreases to 0.1 Mil below the Alarm Setpoint.
“ Warning – Turbine Condensate Drain Tank 
High Level”
The condensate level in the turbine condensate drain 
tank has been above the high-level switch actuation 
point causing the input to the York I/O board to be open 
for 5 continuous seconds.  This message will automati-
cally clear when the level drops below the actuation 
point of the switch closing the input to the York I/O 
board. 
"Warning - Inlet Steam Out Of Range"
The inlet steam temperature has been over 50°F above 
the DST - Design Steam Temperature or the inlet steam 
pressure has been over 150% of the DSP - Design 
Steam Pressure for 15 continuous minutes. These set-
points are shown on the Capacity Controls Setpoints 
Screen 2. This check is bypassed until the turbine is 
slow rolling or the chiller is in the System Run Mode. 
The message is automatically cleared when both con-
ditions have decreased below the above setpoints.
“ Warning – Turbine Inlet Steam High 
Pressure”
The input signal from the Turbine Inlet Steam Pressure 
Transmitter is above the PSP16-Turbine Inlet Steam 
High Pressure setpoint shown on the Alarm/Shutdown 
Setpoints Screen. This message will automatically 
clear when the inlet steam pressure decreases to 0.1 
PSIG below the Turbine Inlet Steam High Pressure 
setpoint.
“ Warning – Turbine Exhaust Steam High 
Pressure”
The input signal from the Turbine Exhaust Steam Pres-
sure Transmitter has been above the PSP7-Turbine 
Exhaust Steam High Pressure setpoint shown on the 
Alarm/Shutdown Setpoints Screen for 10 seconds. This 
check is bypassed until the chiller is in the System Run 
Mode. This message will automatically clear when the 
exhaust steam pressure decreases to 0.1 PSIA below 
the Turbine Exhaust Steam High Pressure setpoint.
