WARNING!
A warning paragraph alerts you to actions that may have extremely serious consequences for
equipment and/or personnel.
1.4Precautions and general maintenance
Any maintenance, repair, or replacement of components not listed below must be
performed by specially trained personnel at Emerson authorized service centers. Any
damage to the product caused by misuse, abuse, neglect, carelessness or modifications
performed by anyone other than Emerson may void the warranty.
Following the precautions listed below, you can perform common maintenance
procedures on the CSI 2140 and its accessories.
WARNING!
•An electrostatic discharge is possible when you clean the equipment exterior. When
cleaning the equipment exterior, do not use any abrasive or corrosive chemicals or
materials. Do not use petroleum distillates and ketone solvents, for example, acetone,
gasoline and kerosene. Use a dry, lint-free towel or cloth dampened with a mild soap
and water solution. Clean the analyzer only in a non-hazardous area.
•Charge, remove, and replace the battery pack only in a non-hazardous area.
•Use only Emerson's battery packs with the CSI 2140. The analyzer will not function if a
non-Emerson battery pack is used. Lithium-Ion batteries have very specific charging
requirements. Emerson-supplied power supplies and chargers are designed to work
with Emerson's Lithium-Ion battery pack. Using battery packs other than Emerson's
approved battery packs could not only void the warranty, but could also be hazardous.
Precautions
•To prevent permanent damage to the touchscreen on the CSI 2140, never use sharp
objects or excessive pressure with your fingers or stylus. Lightly tap the screen.
•Use only Emerson's power supplies and chargers approved for use with the CSI 2140
and Emerson's battery packs. Using any power supplies and chargers other than
Emerson's approved power supplies and battery packs could not only void the
warranty, but will also most likely damage the analyzer or the battery pack.
•Do not change or remove the battery pack in the CSI 2140 with the power supply
connected to the analyzer. The CSI 2140 or battery pack may be damaged.
•Do not use Emerson's battery packs, power supplies, and chargers with any product
other than their corresponding Emerson product.

CSI 2140 Machinery Health Analyzer
•When charging the CSI 2140 with the battery pack or the battery pack by itself,
ensure the ambient temperature where the analyzer is located is 50° F to 95° F (10° C
to 35° C).
•When operating the CSI 2140 with the battery pack, ensure the ambient
temperature where the analyzer is being used is -4° F to 122° F ( -20° C to 50° C).
Prevent battery degradation
When storing the CSI 2140 with the battery pack or storing the battery pack by itself for a
prolonged period of time:
•Ensure the ambient temperature where the battery pack is located is -4° F to 95° F
( -20° C to 35° C). Due to the chemical composition of Lithium-Ion battery
technology, over time there will be some degradation that results in a reduced
charge capacity and performance. This degradation is unavoidable and irreversible.
Prolonged storage at temperatures outside this range, especially temperatures
above the high end, speeds up the degradation process.
•Ensure the battery capacity is approximately 40 percent and periodically recharge
the battery pack (to approximately 40 percent charge capacity) during storage to
ensure the battery does not drain to low levels.
•Disconnect the power supply from the CSI 2140 or the battery pack.
Prevent damage
To prevent damage to the analyzer:
•Do not connect a signal larger than 0 to 24 volts into the Accel input of the CSI 2140.
•Do not connect a signal larger than +/- 24 volts into the Volts / Tach input of the CSI
2140.
1.5Technical support

3.1AMS Machinery Manager Data Transfer
AMS Machinery Manager Data Transfer lets you manage the files in your analyzer. You
need Data Transfer to establish a connection between the AMS Machinery Manager
database and the programs in your analyzer so you can transfer vibration data (routes) and
job files. Data Transfer allows different levels of interactive functionality with your analyzer
depending on the analyzer's capabilities.
You can do the following:
•Transfer and store routes and jobs between the analyzer and AMS Machinery
Manager.
•Transfer and store routes and jobs between the analyzer and a folder on your
computer.
•Create route definition files and route data files that you can email to others.
•Take a screen capture of any screen in the analyzer.
•Print reports to AMS Machinery Manager.
•Upgrade the firmware or programs in your analyzer.
3.2AMS Machinery Manager Standalone Data
Transfer application
If your computer does not have AMS Machinery Manager installed, use the AMS
Standalone Data Transfer application to transfer route and job files between an analyzer
and a folder on the computer or network. AMS Standalone Data Transfer does not have a
database, so all files are transferred to a computer folder. You can also print route reports
or plots from the analyzer and transfer firmware or programs to the analyzer.
35
Page 42
Transfer files with CSI 2140
AMS Standalone Data Transfer is available on your install disk that is included with your
analyzer. Follow the prompts in the install wizard.
AMS Standalone Data Transfer allows different levels of interactive functionality with your
analyzer depending on the analyzer's capabilities.
Analyzers using Ethernet may connect to the CSI Data Transfer Service running on the AMS
Machinery Manager server. Enter your AMS Machinery Manager user name and password
to access the database list.
Transferring files
AMS Standalone Data Transfer allows you to transfer a route to a file that can be sent to
remote locations by email, for example, and then transferred into an analyzer or into the
database. This type of file lets you send routes to and from analyzers at remote locations
using AMS Standalone Data Transfer instead of an AMS Machinery Manager Client.
To send a file to a remote user, create a route file using AMS Machinery Manager Data
Transfer and email the file to the remote location. The remote user can use Standalone
Data Transfer to load the file onto a connected analyzer.
To transfer a route or job into the AMS Machinery Manager database, use AMS Standalone
Data Transfer to load the file from the analyzer to a files on the computer. Then email the
file to the AMS Machinery Manager user, or put the file on a network drive. If you email the
file, put the file in the Working Directory to import the file.
Limitations
•You cannot install AMS Standalone Data Transfer on the same computer as AMS
Machinery Manager.
•You cannot create route or job files. You can only transfer files.
•You cannot save files directly to the AMS Machinery Manager database.

4.5Multiple inputs and measurements
Use the multi-channel functionality and the triaxial accelerometer to quickly collect data.
The triax lets you simultaneously collect horizontal, vertical, and axial measurements
without having to move the sensor. This makes your data collection faster and more
efficient.
Set up multiple input measurements
The analyzer supports one, two, three, and four input measurements. Set up and acquire
four-channel measurements the same way as two-channel measurements to get
simultaneous four spectrums or waveforms, or dual orbits for detailed analysis. You cannot
set up these measurements in the analyzer. In AMS Machinery Manager Database Setup,
set up multi-input measurements as individual measurement points that are grouped with
the Signal Group Number field but with a different channel. The measurement points must be
on the same equipment, but they do not need to be sequential in the measurement point
list. Use the AMS Machinery Manager Route Management to add the measurement points
to a route.
When making a multi-channel measurement, the analyzer must display one of the channel
points. Data for each point is acquired simultaneously when that is possible.
74
Page 81
Multiple measurements from a single sensor
The analyzer can acquire data on measurement points, even when the acquisition
parameters are different, using one sensor connected to both inputs. Set up the
measurement points as grouped points, the same way as regular dual points, but change
the points to use the same input.
Data collected simultaneously on the same sensor have the same date and time. This
allows both AMS Machinery Manager and the analyzer to display orbit plots. These plots
are not true orbits because the data is from a single sensor. True orbit plots are displayed
from data collected simultaneously using two or four inputs.
4.6Collect route data

6.1Analyze overview
The Analyze program lets you collect data to troubleshoot a problem. You can collect data
for a route point, or create a job that is not associated with a route. Collect data using
predefined measurements called Analysis Experts or create your own measurements in
Manual Analyze.
Each Analysis Expert, such as a Bump Test, has a set of predefined parameters to minimize
setup. The parameters can include Fmax, averaging, and lines of resolution. The
parameters should be appropriate for most measurements. In Manual Analyze, you must set
up all the parameters for your measurements.
Note
For best results, collect route data and use a cursor to mark a frequency in the spectrum before
running an Analysis Expert.
To use the Analyze or Advanced Analyze program:
1.Create a job, open a job, or open Analyze from a route measurement point. You must
use a job or open Analyze from Route to save your data.
2.Set up the sensors or tachometer.
