The Enpac 2500 Data Collector
This chapter describes the Enpac 2500 in detail and covers the basic operations
and configuration of the data collector.
The combination of the Enpac 2500 data collector with Emonitor software
provides a complete package for predictive maintenance by using noise and
vibration analysis. The Enpac can also be used for a variety of other applications,
such as Balancing or Bearing Analysis.
A predictive maintenance program helps you decide when equipment needs to be
serviced or replaced. Part of a complete predictive maintenance program includes
vibration monitoring. Emonitor and the Enpac 2500 allow you to perform
vibration analysis by collecting data samples.
With the combination of predictive maintenance software and the Enpac 2500,
you can:
• Create lists of measurement definitions for data collection.
• Load lists from Emonitor into the Enpac 2500.
• Collect magnitude, process, spectrum, time, and phase data.
• View selected alarms with the data. The Enpac 2500 alerts you when a
measurement exceeds an alarm.
• Select inspection codes to store with a measurement, documenting the
condition of the machine.
• Unload the data from the Enpac 2500 directly into the Emonitor database,
along with any inspection codes and unscheduled measurements.
