How to Perform a 1
-2 Plane with Prognosis Procedure
The Prognosis
It is at this time when the Microlog analyzes Plane A’s trial run and the affect the trial
weight had on Plane A and Plane B, and only if appropriate, displays the message
shown in the figure below that indicates a single plane balancing procedure might be an
option (to save time on the balancing job).
Figure 5 - 36.
The Prognosis Message Indicating that
Single Plane Balancing Might be
an Option.
The Microlog analyzes how the Plane A trial weight affected both plane A and plane B.
Generally stated, if the weight had a large affect on both planes, then 2 plane balancing
is recommended, but if the weight had a large affect on plane A and barely affected
plane B, then single plane balancing might be an option.
It is important to note that the above prognosis message only displays if a single plane
balancing procedure might be an option to bring the residual imbalance within
specifications. If the prognosis message does not display, then the Microlog’s
calculations indicate that single plane balancing is not an option and you should
continue with the dynamic 2 Plane balancing procedure.
1-Plane
- If the amount of residual imbalance indicated with single plane balancing is
within specifications and you wish to convert to a single plane procedure to save time,
press the message’s
1-Plane
function button, and the balancing job proceeds as a
single plane procedure.
2 – Plane
- If the amount of residual imbalance indicated is not within specifications
and/or you do not wish to convert to a single plane procedure, press the
2-Plane
function button, in which case the 2-Plane balancing procedure resumes.
•
Select to proceed with either a single plane or 2 plane procedure, as described
above.
