    ST6911 IPT™ ACCELERATION VIBRATION TRANSDUCER

    ST6917 IPT™ VELOCITY VIBRATION TRANSDUCER


    Installation Manual

    OVERVIEW
    Capable of sensing a wide range of vibration
    frequencies, the ST6911 and ST6917 are ide-
    al for a variety of machines. With both mod-
    els, a built-in amplifier provides a high level,
    low impedance 4-20 mA output to interface
    with PLC, DCS, or 4-20mA monitors. Both
    models incorporate a temperature stabilized
    circuit and amplifier, packaged in a stainless
    steel case designed to operate continually
    in a wet, corrosive environment of 100°C
    (212°F). The sensing circuit is electrically
    isolated to 500vrms. Although shipped stan-
    dard with a 1/4-28 to 1/4-28 mounting stud,
    other mounting configurations are available.
    Signal wiring is made mistake proof with
    the IPT™ (Independent Polarity Terminal)
    feature making the transmitters indifferent
    to wiring reversal.

    IPT™ (Independent Polarity Terminal) is a


    registered trademark of Metrix Instrument Co.

    WIRING
    The ST6911/ST6917 is connected like any other loop powered transmitter. Connect the field
    wiring in accordance with the wiring diagram shown above. The ST6911/ST6917 transmitter
    requires a minimum of 10 VDC for proper operation. The minimum loop power supply volt-
    age required is 10 VDC plus 1 volt for each 50 W of loop resistance.

    Doc#M9466 • REV C (March 2016) Page 2 of 8


    ST6911/ST6917 Example: Signal wire resistance = 10 W
    Resistance of receiver = 250 W
    Total loop resistance = 260 W

    Minimum supply voltage = 260 (1V/50 W) + 10V = 15.2 VDC

    The maximum loop power supply voltage that may be applied is 30 VDC. The maximum loop
    resistance (RL) is calculated by the equation:

    RL = 50 W/V (VS - 10V) W


    Example: RL = 50 (24 - 10) = 700 W for 24 VDC loop supply.

    CONNECTION TO PLC OR OTHER INDICATING INSTRUMENT


    The first step in configuring the PLC, DCS, or other recording instrument is to determine the
    source of power. The ST6911 and ST6917 requires loop power be supplied to them. Some
    Analog Input channels, on a PLC or DCS, for example, provide this power from within. If they
    do not provide power, an external power supply must be provided. Connect the transmitter
    field wiring using standard instrumentation practices.

    Scaling of the display is on the basis of the range of the transmitter. For the ST6911, the
    measurement parameter name is “vibration” and the units are “g” (1g= 386 inches per
    square second). The example below is based on a standard 10 g transmitter. For the ST6917,
    the measurement parameter name is “vibration” and the units are “ips” (inches per second)
    or “mm/s” (millimeters per second). The example below is based on a standard 1.0 ips
    transmitter.

    Model Vibration Level Transmitter Output PLC (or other) Scale


    None 4mA ± 0.1mA 0.00 g’s
    ST6911
    10 g’s 20mA ± 0.4mA 10 g’s
    None 4mA ± 0.1mA 0.00 ips
    ST6917
    1.0 ips 20mA ± 0.4mA 1.00 ips

    In order to prevent nuisance alarms, due to transient operating conditions, program a time
    delay into the alarm. Momentary “jolts” that can occur at start-up or during some operating
    condition changes, do not reflect a machine steady state operating condition. The indicated
    vibration level must cross the threshold level and stay above it for a preset time before any
    alarm action is taken. A 2- to 3-second delay is normally applied to most machinery.

    Some rough starting machinery may also need a start-up time lockout for alarms. A start-up
    lockout is different than a time delay! Both may be needed.

    TYPICAL TRANSMITTER PLACEMENT

    Both transducers measure seismic vibration at the attachment point on the machine. Their
    sensitive direction is through their cylindrical bodies. They will not measure side to side mo-
    tion. The ST6911 measures acceleration vibration in g’s (peak or RMS). The ST6917 measures
    velocity vibration in ips (inches per second). Both, acceleration and velocity vibration are
    common measurement for a large variety of machinery.

    Typical transmitter mounting for casing vibration measurements is in the horizontal direction
    at the bearing housings. Usually the horizontal direction is more sensitive because of the way
    machinery is typically mounted.

    CALIBRATION
    The ST6911 and ST6917 transmitters have been factory calibrated for the full scale vibration
    level marked on the label. If the calibration is in doubt the unit can be verified in the field by
    following the procedures outlined below. Note that there are no Zero and Span adjustments
    on the transmitter.

    1. Zero Verification In the absence of vibration the output current should be 4 mA


    ±0.1 mA. If the ambient vibration is more than 2% of full scale, the transmitter should
    be removed from the machine and placed on a vibration free surface for this mea-
    surement. Often a piece of foam can be used to isolate the transmitter from external
    motion.

    2. Span Verification Subject the transmitter to a known vibration within the full scale
    range marked on the label. If using a portable vibration shaker where it can be tested
    at full scale, the output should be 20 mA ± 0.8mA. If using another reference, like a
    similar machine, calculate the current value on a proportional basis.

    The output level can also be compared to a vibration level read on a portable vibration meter.
    This reading should be taken as close to the transmitter location as possible.

    NOTE: If you shake the transmitter by


    hand you can produce a high output.
    There is no way of knowing the expect-
    ed output when shaking it by hand.
