Model 682A05 Bearing Fault Detector (BFD) is an advanced vibration signal conditioner designed to provide the earliest warning of imminent machinery failure. The unit works with 100 mV/g ICP® accelerometer and serves to deliver two, 4 to 20 mA output signals that are proportional to the measured vibration levels of operating rotating machinery. In order to enable detection of a wide variety of machinery faults, the 4 to 20 mA signals are conditioned to characterize two, unique vibration measurements; one containing high frequency peak data and the other containing low frequency rms data. These 4 to 20 mA signals may be monitored, alongside other plant process variables, using familiar PLC, DCS, SCADA, alarm and control systems. An additional analog voltage output signal is provided for spectral analysis of the monitored vibration for fault diagnostic purposes.

The unit employs a patented signal conditioning technique that provides the unique ability to detect bearing and gear problems at their earliest stages, thus permitting ample maintenance planning to avert a catastrophic failure. The simplified 4 to 20 mA signal monitoring approach represents a cost effective alternative to complex vibration monitoring instrumentation and associated training.
