3. Maintenance and Troubleshooting


This section shows how to verify that the system is operating properly and
identify parts of the system that are not working properly.
When properly installed and verified the 3300 XL Transducer System (probe, cable
and Proximitor Sensor) does not need calibration or verification at regular
intervals. If the monitor OK light (green) indicates a NOT OK condition (i.e., the light
is not illuminated), then

• a fault has occurred in the field wiring/transducer system/power source,


• the probe is too close to target,
• the probe is detecting other material than the target,
• the target material is not AISI 4140, or
• the probe is too far from the target.
We recommend the following practices to ensure continued satisfactory
operation of your 3300 XL system. Verify operation using the scale factor
verification method on the following page, if you
• replace any of the system components (probe, cable or Proximitor Sensor),
• remove and reinstall or move and remount any of the components,
• determine that any of the components are damaged, or
• overhaul the machine being monitored.
Please note that a sudden change in the output of the transducer system or other
output that is not consistent with the associated machinery’s trended data is, in
most instances, not a transducer problem but a machinery problem. You can
verify the transducer system under these conditions at your discretion.
Under harsh operating conditions some users prefer to verify all transducers at a
regular interval. As noted above, the 3300 XL Transducer System does not require
this. Users who wish to verify the system on a regular interval should use an
interval consistent with their own practices and procedures, which may or may
not be based upon ISO 10012-1 “Quality Assurance Requirements for Measuring
Equipment” (section 4.11).
For target materials other than AISI 4140 steel and for other special applications,
contact your local sales office.

NOTE
Hazardous location areas must be free
of hazardous materials before any
maintenance or troubleshooting can be
performed.

The scale factor verification requires the following instruments and equipment:
• Digital multimeter
• Spindle micrometer
• 10 kΩ fixed resistor
• Power supply (-24 Vdc ± 1 V)
The scale factor verification uses the test setup shown in Figure 3-1.

If the ISF or DSL of the system is out of tolerance, contact Bently Nevada LLC for
further information on possible calibration problems.
The preceding pages indicate scale factor verification using a TK-3. This is
suitable for rough verification. For API 670 system verification a more precise
micrometer and target must be used. There are two different 3300 XL
Micrometer Kits that you can use to verify the calibration of Bently Nevada
transducer systems or to check the scale factor of specific shafts. Both
micrometer kits will work with Bently Nevada eddy current transducers ranging in
size from the 3300 XL NSv™ Transducer System up to the 3300 XL 11 mm
Transducer Systems. Both micrometer kits also have options for either a metric
or English micrometer.
The 3300 XL Precision Micrometer (part number 330185) is a highly accurate
verification device. You should use this device when performing acceptance
testing on our transducer systems. All of our transducer systems have a specified
linear range and average scale factor (ASF). The transducer systems also have a
maximum deviation from straight line (DSL) and ISF tolerances for ambient and
extended temperatures. The 3300 XL Precision Micrometer comes with a high
precision 4140 steel target to make precise measurements and verify whether
the transducer system is working properly and within published specifications.
The 3300 XL Shaft Micrometer (part number 330186) is used to check the scale
factor of the transducer system directly on your shaft. You can compare the
scale factor of your transducer system with that of a 4140 steel target supplied by
Bently Nevada LLC to check whether errors in the measurement are due to
runout, target material or a problem in the transducer system.

3.2 Troubleshooting
This section shows how to interpret a fault indication and isolate faults in an
installed transducer system. Before beginning this procedure, be sure that you
have installed the system correctly and properly secured all connectors in the
correct locations.
When a malfunction occurs, locate the appropriate fault, check the probable
causes for the fault indication and follow the given procedures to isolate and
correct the fault. Use a digital voltmeter to measure voltage. If you find faulty
transducers, contact your local sales and service office for assistance.
The troubleshooting procedures use measured voltages as shown in Figure 3-6,
Table 3-2, and Table 3-3:
