Adding Applications to the Enpac 2500 Data Collector 59
The combination of the Enpac 2500 data collector with Emonitor software
provides a complete package for predictive maintenance by using noise and
vibration analysis. The Enpac can also be used for a variety of other applications,
such as Balancing or Bearing Analysis.
A predictive maintenance program helps you decide when equipment needs to be
serviced or replaced. Part of a complete predictive maintenance program includes
vibration monitoring. Emonitor and the Enpac 2500 allow you to perform
vibration analysis by collecting data samples.
With the combination of predictive maintenance software and the Enpac 2500,
you can:
• Create lists of measurement definitions for data collection.
• Load lists from Emonitor into the Enpac 2500.
• Collect magnitude, process, spectrum, time, and phase data.
• View selected alarms with the data. The Enpac 2500 alerts you when a
measurement exceeds an alarm.
• Select inspection codes to store with a measurement, documenting the
condition of the machine.
• Unload the data from the Enpac 2500 directly into the Emonitor database,
along with any inspection codes and unscheduled measurements.
Rockwell Automation Publication GMSI10-UM002D-EN-E - August 2012 19
Chapter 1 The Enpac 2500 Data Collector
IMPORTANT
In addition, Emonitor can optimize your data collection by combining
measurement definitions at a location. For example, Emonitor could combine
two magnitude and one spectrum measurement definitions so that the list
appears to contain only a single measurement. This allows you to collect all three
measurements at one time, minimizing the time you spend collecting data.
The Enpac 2500 is a two-channel, real-time Fast Fourier Transformer (FFT)
analyzer and data collector for predictive maintenance and machinery vibration
diagnostics. It is capable of measuring, processing, displaying and storing a wide
range of analysis functions. It can operate as a stand-alone instrument or you can
download your measurements to your software application for program analysis.
Safety Information
Be aware of these safety precautions.
Avoid Water
The Enpac 2500 data collector is splash and dust resistant. However, avoid
direct contact with water, wet surfaces, or condensing humidity. Keep this
instrument away from wet locations, for example, laundry, wet basements,
swimming pools.
If the data collector subject to these conditions, adverse operation may result.
Before you use it, let the instrument dry thoroughly before operating.
ATT EN TI ON : To avoid damage or injury, place the Enpac 2500 data collector on
a solid stable surface when not in use and do not place any heavy objects on it.
Use only the accessories recommended by Rockwell Automation. Keep liquids
and foreign objects away from the instrument, and never operate it if any liquid
or foreign object has entered it.
Optical Ports
ATTENTION: When the laser on the data collector is active, viewing the laser
beam can expose your eyes beyond the maximum permissible exposure
recommendations and cause harm.
Laser Radiation Ports
ATTENTION: Class 1 laser product. Laser radiation is present when the system is
open and interlocks bypassed. Only trained and qualified personnel should be
allowed to install, replace, or service the instrument.

The maximum measurement range is ±40 V while the minimum full-scale range
voltage available is ±10 mV (peak). The inputs are protected against high voltage
transients, but sustained over-voltage input levels must be avoided. Voltage can be
DC or AC coupled, while the third option, Accel (ICP), is available for direct
connection of integrated circuit piezoelectric transducers. These settings are
specified in the Emonitor software.

This socket connects the Enpac to either an external trigger, power adapter or
USB interface. The external trigger enables synchronization of the data
acquisition process to external events, such as tachometer inputs for rotational
synchronization for balancing applications, or for order normalization of
frequency spectrum. The trigger pulse can also be used to collect running speeds
of machinery. The pin assignment for the trigger is shown in Pin Assignments

The external power adapter can be used to charge the internal battery. This can
be connected to the Enpac by connecting the DC output of the mains power
supply to the in line socket of the USB Power Splitter cable (Cat. No. 1441PEN25-COMS-US). Then connect the Fischer plug into the Power socket on
top of the Enpac. Only the provided transformer may be used. Any other supply
may cause permanent damage to the data collector.
A USB interface is also provided via the POWER/TRIG connector and the USB
Power Splitter cable. The interface is configured as a Client to allow automatic
connection to a PC through Microsoft ActiveSync™ software. This interface
allows you to copy files and transfer data from the data collector to your PC.

RS-232 Interface
Data can also be transferred between the Enpac and your computer over an
RS-232 interface. The RS-232 interface is provided via a 9-way (Plug) Dconnector on the top of the Enpac 2500 data collector. The cable catalog number
is 1441-PEN25-COMS-RS.

Status Indicators
The Enpac 2500 has three status indicators located in the upper-right side of the
Enpac nameplate.

Status Indicators Operation State Definition
Red Charging Battery Flashing When first connected to the power adapter, the Enpac 2500 tests the
condition of the main battery. Within 30 seconds, the status indicators
should go to a solid state. If the status indicators continues to flash, the unit
has diagnosed a fault in the main battery and it will not charge the battery.
The problem may be that the cell temperature is too high or there is a fault
with the battery.
Solid The main battery is OK. The power adapter is connected to the Enpac 2500
and charging the main battery. The battery will be maintained by a trickle
charge from the power adapter for as long as it remains attached to the unit.
Data Collection Solid • An alarm condition has been set.
• Input signal is out of range.
• ICP Fail is active.
• The power adapter is connected to the Enpac 2500.
Amber Data Collection Solid Acquisition sub-system is settling.
Green Data Collection Solid Input signal is stable and data is ready to be stored.

Strap Attachment
The strap can be fitted to either the left or right side of the Enpac 2500.
1. Feed the ends of the strap through the top and bottom corner pillars as
shown in the illustration below.

2. Loop the ends of the strap through the buckles and adjust the tightness to
suit.
The Enpac 2500 data collector can be powered either from its own internal
Lithium Ion battery or by connecting the DC output of the mains power supply
to the in line socket of the USB Power Splitter cable. Then connect the Fischer
plug into the Power socket on top of the Enpac. The Enpac also has an internal
backup battery which maintains the system settings should the battery become
discharged or removed while the unit is not being powered by an external DC
supply.
This section describes how to check the battery level information and remove the
battery pack from the data collector. The Enpac battery pack is located on the
underside of the Enpac.

This table shows the typical battery life for the lithium ion battery, assuming the
battery is properly charged.

If the main battery is allowed to discharge completely, the instrument will
behave as if it has experienced a hardware reset. When you reapply power,
the current date, time and status information will be lost.
Checking Battery Life
You can check the status of the battery in the Enpac 2500 by pressing the Decimal
(.) key. (This function is available on most screens.)
The Battery Status dialog reports the status of the internal battery and the
condition of the units backup battery. The backup battery charges while the unit
is connected to the external DC power adapter or when the unit is powered on by
using the internal battery.

Battery charging
The Enpac 2500 will automatically notify you when the battery status is
30% or lower. To clear the notification, press the Decimal (.) key. The
notification will periodically appear until the battery is recharged or the
power adapter is attached.
When the battery status is 10% or lower, communications is prohibited.
Inserting and Removing the Battery Pack
1. Using a flat head screwdriver, remove the quick release screws (underside
of the data collector).
2. Remove the battery cover.
The Enpac has a safety switch positioned under the plate of the
battery compartment. When you remove this cover, the data
collector shuts down (as if the ON/OFF key was pressed.)
3. Slide the cell to the left and lift it out from the data collector.
The battery is inserted into the data collector by following this process in
