Answer / mazari

Gap voltage of Bently Nevada vibration probe is usually set at -10V. Reason for setting at -10 volt is as we know, proximitor allows probe to work -2 volt to -18 volt. So voltage difference of 2 to 10 and 10 to 18 is 8 volt. When setting at -10 volt, probe can equally measures vibration at both sides(I mean when shaft is going away from probe or towards probe).
Suppose we adjust probe at -9 volt. Probe can detect vibration?
Yes, it can can detect vibration but its one side will be margin of 7 volt and other side margin of 11 volt. At 11 volt margin, probe will detect vibration excellent but at other side,7 volt side, it has limitation, when more vibration it may not detect.
(Old system, when proximitor supply was 18 volt, setting were at -8 volt, now such proximitor almost obsoleted)

Answer / arshad.aes@gmail.com

gape voltage is set 10v.if sensor is old that time we adjust
at 8 -10v.in this case also we adjust the gape between sensor
and target it is mostly 1mm to 0.9mm.

Lux meter is the measuring device to measure the lux level of lighting fixture. in industrial sector two types of lighting fixture is being used as street lighting purpose 1. HPSV (Sodium) and 2. HPMV (Mercury). HPMV having white light which is an combination of red, blue and yellow colour, while HPSV haivng Yellow lighting. in HPSV red & blue colour will be absent. during measurement of the lux level of HPSV and HPMV fixture. 1. Lux meter can measure the actual lux level of both fixture? 2. or it will show false reading for HPSV fixture light as it has only yellow light present. please give me answer

HELLO FRENDS ,, I M IN THE MIDST OF TROUBLE .. JUST LITTLE HELP ME... SUPPOSE ,, I HAVE A CLOSE VESSELE TANK ( HEXANE MEDIA ) ,, I M USING ROSEMOUNT 2051 DPT FOR LEVEL APPLICATION .. ITS CALIBRATE RANGE IS.. . 0 TO 950 MMH20 ..I DID CALIBRATED DPT WITHOUT REMOVING IMPULSE LINE OF HIGH AND LOW TAPPING.. & WITHOUT DISTURB 3 WAY MANIFOLD..!!! BUT ,,, DURING CALIBRATION I SELECT RANGE BY HART LRV IS 900 MMH20 & URV IS 1300 MMH20 ,, BUT ,TANK LEVEL SOMETIMES 100 % AT 1100 MMH20 , SOMETIMES 1300 MMH20 ..IN THIS CONDITION .. WHOLE LOOP FAILED ,, MAIN THING IS THAT ,, HOW TO CUSTOME RANGE SELECT ?? AND IF I USED RANGE OVER THE ORIGINAL CALIBRATE RANGE ,,,THEN WHAT ERROR WILL BE COME ??? HOW TO ZERO CALIBRATION OF DPT... HOW TO ZERO TRIM BY MANIFOLD ?? AND FOR TANK LEVEL PURPOSE ... WHICH UNIT I CAN USE ??? IS THERE ANY CALCULATION OR CALIBRATION .. IF YEH .. THEN PLZ JUST GIVE ME CALIBRATION STEPS FOR DPT.. THANKS YOURSSSSSSS
