PROTOR Systems

Without vibration health information on primary equipment such as turbines, pumps and associated equipment, impending faults go unnoticed and develop into conditions that result in failures.

PROTOR Tutorials

shaft gap display

PROTOR includes displays for viewing the movement of a shaft within in bearing in the form of a shaft gap display. This display requires orthogonally mounted shaft proximity probes. This tutorial describes the displays available in general but with specific reference to the PROTOR historic module.

viewing shaft orbits

PROTOR includes displays for viewing shaft orbits. This display requires orthogonally mounted shaft proximity probes. This tutorial describes the displays available in general but with specific reference to the PROTOR historic module.

changing PROTOR archive disks

PROTOR utilises magneto-optical disks for data archive and storage. This procedure describes the steps necessary to change an archive disk when one become full.

step change alarms

PROTOR provides a large number of vibration alarm detection algorithms. This tutorial is specifically concerned with the sudden change or "step change" vector alarm.

PROTOR Internationalisation

PROTOR provides a number of features for the internationalisation of display screens. This includes the development of a language database for word and phrase translation. This document describes the process and the languages supported.

tacho conditioning

The keyphasor or tachometer signal is of vital importance to any system analysing data for rotating machines. This note describes the conditioning provided by PROTOR for tachometer signals and its effect on phase readings.

transducer orientation

PROTOR incorporates facilities for resolving vibration into its vertical and horizontal components even when the transducers may not be physically mounted in these planes. This tutorial describes the transformation and the configuration setup.

transducer configuration

This tutorial deals with the setup and configuration of transducer sensitivities within PROTOR for both dynamic and plant analogue channels.

annotating events

PROTOR include facilities for user input text annotation used to identify an event in time or an observation. This tutorial describes the facility and it uses.
