Spectrum Instruments' family of "WAM" advanced wireless monitoring systems support a wide variety of analog inputs. WAM models are capable of acquiring 6/7/56 vibration channels containing frequencies from DC up to 20 KHz.  Data  from 6 to 56 additional channels of process variables can also be acquired. Low resolution sensors such as cold junction thermocouples are amplified with an internal temperature compensation board supporting both J and K type thermocouples.  Vibration data is acquired simultaneously in groups of three(3), seven(7) or fifty six(56) channels depending on the model selected.

KEY FEATURES

• 6, 7 or up to 56 vibration inputs with frequency ranges from near DC up to 40 KHz sample rate
• accepts accelerometer & piezovelocity sensors, proximity probes, 4-20 ma process signals and more
• data from 6 or 56 process channels can also be acquired
• available on-board amplification available for low level signals such as thermocouples
• 1 Tachometer input is provided in addition to the 6 measurement channels
• 900 MHz radios provide broadcast range of up to 2 miles
• WLAN radios and Ethernet for high speed connectivity is also available on some models
• On-board sample memory allows 2 million samples at rates from 64 to 20 KHz
• On-board conditioning circuitry with programmable high /low pass filtering
• Analog integration for acceleration to velocity
• Water and weatherproof housing meets IP67 standards

For vibration configured channels, a standard 20V/4ma current is provided for biasing accelerometers.  This bias voltage can be disabled to allow direct AC inputs from other devices such as proximity probes.

The Spectrum WAM wireless monitoring system communicates back to the base station via a long range Spread Spectrum 900 MHz radio.  An optional WLAN communication (802.11B or 802.11G) is available for higher speed, shorter range applications.  Ethernet connectivity is offered on the 35 input model.

Wireless data is managed by Pathfinder Software Suite; Pathfinder software receives and manages incoming data from multiple Spectrum WAM ’s, performs an open-architecture archiving function, generates operator interface bar graphs, and provides advanced analytical tools such as windows for FFTs, waterfalls, orbits, trends, real time waveforms as well as Bode and Nyquist plots.

RESOLVING DATA BASE CONTINUITY ISSUES

Are you currently operating a vibration based predictive maintenance program using:

a SKF system ?     Rockwell ?        CSI ?       Technekon ?            

or any other brand name data collector system ?  

Spectrum Instruments' optional "TRANSLATOR" software allows vibration data captured by its WAM field module and stored in the Pathfinder Software Suite to be transferred to ANY brand name data collector for downloaiding / archiving into a plant's existing vibration based PM software program.  This allows the customer to analyze machine data captured by Spectum's WAM system with his own PM software that he is familiar with while at the same time, embedding new data supplementing existing historical data for improved condition trending.   Our "TRANSLATOR" software means no new software to learn!
