6. Specify the units (English, metric, or SI) that will be used for each parameter.
By default, units are set to English, unless the device is shipped to Japan.
7. Specify which measurements (velocity, temperature, etc.) correspond to the
process variables PV, SV, TV, and QV.
By default, PV is the Overall Velocity on sensor 1, SV is the PeakVue measurement on
sensor 1, TV is the sensor 1 bias voltage, and QV is the supply voltage.
8. Specify alert levels.
Determine the thresholds at which measurement alerts will display and determine
the behavior of device alerts.
9. Specify how the parameters will be published (optimized mode or generic
mode).
By default, the device is configured to use generic mode as it provides the most
consistent overall performance.
10. Specify how often the parameters are published (update rate).
The default update rate is once every 60 minutes. A faster update rate is not
recommended, unless the device is powered by an external power source, as it
significantly reduces the power module life.
11. Optimize for power consumption.
Reduce the publish rate and set the LCD mode to Off to minimize power
consumption. As an additional step, you can configure the PowerSave mode
settings to extend the power module life.
12. Configure trending of parameters.
You can trend parameters in multiple locations such as in a plant historian, in AMS
Machinery Manager, and in a DCS control system.
13. If the device configuration will not be managed by a HART DCS (such as DeltaV),
specify whether AMS Machinery Manager can make configuration changes.
By default, the device is set for a DCS to manage the configuration, and changes
from AMS Machinery Manager are not permitted. You can, however, allow AMS
Machinery Manager to make configuration changes by enabling MHM Access
Control from AMS Device Manager or from a Field Communicator.
14. If the device is licensed for the Advanced Diagnostics application (spectral data
retrieval), configure storage of energy bands, spectra, and waveforms in the
AMS Machinery Manager database.
With the Advanced Diagnostics application, you can collect data on-demand,
automatically at periodic intervals, or on alert. Store on Alert is the recommended
operating mode.
