Sentry G3 from Sensonics is the only machine protection system on the market with an inbuilt colour display offering a range of diagnostic features.
The default display is the colour coded bar graph providing both measurement level and alarm status. For position measurements such as shaft position or turbine rotor expansion where the reading can be positive or negative the bar graph is centralised.
Other useful features through the display include a text display which is useful for checking the sensor bias voltage……. An FFT for a more intuitive understanding of the vibration frequency spectrum………. And a trending facility which captures the maximum reading for each channel every 10 seconds providing a useful measurement history for up to 60 days.
The inbuilt alarm historian is also a useful feature to check the timing of trip and fault alarms, fleeting alarms can be missed but not with this facility. Both the trending and alarm historian are available to download in a csv format for further offline analysis.
Sentry G3 offers powerful display facilities for easy identification of machine faults.
