CSI 2117A Series
The 2117A series provides an entry level platform for
vibration monitoring and condition analysis. The 2117A
series is available in three upgradeable levels that fit
seamlessly with the rest of CSI's route based Vibration
products.
The 2117P1 (parameter collector, single channel) is a
route based vibration parameter collector. The P1
processes complex machine vibration data and reduces it
to an Overall level along with 12 other parameters
focused on specific fault types.
• Demodulation provides earlier detection of antifriction
bearing defects.
• Peak and phase trend parameters help diagnose sleeve
bearing condition.
• Configurable frequency bands detect Imbalance,
Misalignment, Gear defects, Belt defects, and other
fault types.
• Waveform parameters detect impacting or transient
vibration that could be missed with just frequency band
parameters.
• Additional process parameters can be measured
directly as voltage inputs, or entered manually with the
keypad, or through the use of predefined notecodes.
The P1 is simple to use, even with no vibration analysis
experience, to collect routine trend data.
• Field alarming on all parameters immediately informs
you when a problem is detected
• By reviewing which parameter is in alarm you can tell
what kind of fault is likely causing the vibration

FEATURES & BENEFITS
• 3,200 line resolution
• Built-in demodulator
• In-field alarm capability
• Ten-hour battery capacity
• Interfaces with CSI's advanced software tools
Alarms and analysis parameters are not generic but can
be custom defined for every different machine type in the
plant. When an alarm is detected in any of the analysis
parameters, the same route can then be loaded into a
higher level analyzer such as the 2120A for detailed signa-
ture analysis.
Upgrading to the 2117D1 (data collector, single channel)
adds the ability to collect Time Waveform and Frequency
Spectrum signatures. The 2117D1 provides up to 3,200
lines of spectral resolution for distinguishing closely relat-
ed fault types. Signature data can be reviewed in the field
for on the spot analysis.
Upgrading to the 2117A1 (analyzer, single channel) adds
the ability to configure and acquire additional analysis
parameters in the field after a problem is detected. It also
provides Off-Route setup for additional machines or
measurement points that were not included in the route.
Any level of the 2117A series can be expanded to include
field balancing with FastBal I or II.
Weighing in at only 3.1 lbs (1.41 kg), the 2117A series
meets your needs for a fast, light-weight data collector
with full feature capability.
A 10 hour constant usage battery capacity (12 hours typi-
cal use) provides extended data collection without
recharge, eliminating concerns about mid-route battery
failure. In the event of battery failure the data is safely
stored.
The 2117A series interfaces with CSI's advanced software
tools for vibration-based condition monitoring.
Additional accessories can be connected including tem-
perature probes, current clamps, thickness gauge, strobe
light, etc. to expand your program beyond just vibration
analysis.
