DLI Watchman ST-101

VIBRATION SCREENING TOOL

ST-101 is a vibration screening tool
that provides basic diagnostic
capability at a very low cost. It's
easy to use; designed for plant
mechanics and machinery
operators.
The ST-101 will extend the capability of your
operations and maintenance departments by
providing clear, on the spot insight of your
machine condition. Without specialized
vibration analysis training, your personnel can
assess your equipment condition and identify
sources of potential machine problems.

A DLI ENGINEERING INNOVATION

The ST-101 goes beyond the idiot light

approach of traditional hand-held vibration
meters. Green, yellow and red bar graph
segments show acceptable/unacceptable
representations of machine vibration. The bar
graph displays indicate vibration levels based
on Acceleration, Velocity and Displacement
measurements. Simple patterns on the bar
graph displays aid in the identification of
underlying machine problems. In addition, a
numerical display allows the user to log these
readings for the purpose of historical data and
machine condition trending.
The user simply attaches the magnetic mount
accelerometer to the machine, selects the
operating speed of the machine and reads the
display. Problems such as imbalance,
misalignment and rolling contact bearing wear
have never before been so quick and easy to
detect and identify.

Benefits

Plant operators and maintenance

technicians cannow alert predictive
maintenance personnel of impending
problems.
Monitor machinery traditionally too small or
in-frequently run to be included in a
predictive maintenance program.
Small facilities can now implement a low
cost predictive maintenance program.

Smooth running machine. All indicators green.

Mid bar graph higher than low or high bar graph
indicates high vibration level between 2-9 times
rotation rate. Usually caused by high vane or blade
rate, indicating flow or wear problems.

Equal low and mid bar graphs indicate high rotational

rate vibration level. Indicates balance or misalignment
problem depending on orientation.
High frequency bar graph has much greater levels
than the mid bar graph. This is usually caused by
failing rolling element bearings.
Call DLI Engineering today to find out how your
plant can benefit from the new DLI Watchman
ST-101 Vibration Screening Tool.
Mid bar graph 2 segments higher than low bar graph
indicates high twice-rotational rate vibration level.
This indicates misalignment.
