example, use 6-foot intervals. Draw a simple
diagram on paper.
•
Start at the machine end, adjust the strobe light
to running speed, and note the phase reading
using the clock face method. (For reference,
adjust the phase marker to 12 o’clock.) Move
the vibration transducer to each location, noting
the phase reading at each.
¾
Do not move the strobe, just the
vibration sensor. Do not change the
Phase Angle control knob after the
initial reference has been set.
•
The phase markings should “walk” around the
clock face as the sensor is moved to each
location. Each time the marking is at or near 12
o’clock, the motion is at or near maximum and is
in phase with the reference point. Each time the
marking is at or near 6 o’clock, the motion is at
or near maximum in the opposite direction and
is out of phase with the reference point.
