Short Description
The Portable CBM is a system for measuring shaft orbit and shaft runout.
It uses a setup with standard analog inductive proximity sensors which are
interfaced directly to a data acquisition unit which again is connect to a windows
PC via a USB connection. The PC handles filtering and data analysis. Finally the
data are store in a database.

To retrieve data from the PCBM simply copy the database fil to a USB stick.
It is possible to connect the PSCM to the local network an access the system thru
VNC.

Installation
Orbit
Two sensors are needed for orbit measurement, one vertical and one horizontal.

Run out
Only one sensor placed horizontally is needed for runout measurement

Sensor mounting
The sensor must be position so that the distance between sensor and shaft is 4mm.
The sensor must be placed at the centre line of the shaft.

Sensor connection
Connect the sensor leads to the terminal block.
For the orbit measurement it is important that the sensors are connected as pairs.
With the horizontally placed sensors connected to terminals marked horizontal and
likewise for the vertical sensors.

Software Setup
 Close the program
 Edit the ‘INFO.INI’ File.
 Save the file.
 Restart program/Reboot PC

IMPORTANT! Close the program before editing the ini file. Otherwise all changes will
have no effect.

Find the entry ‘RPM_PULSES_PR_REV_DEV1=’ and change the value to the number
of counts per revolution for the RPM sensor.

Find the entry ‘POS_NAME_DEV1=’ and the change the names.

Leave all other entry’s as is.
