Yearly Calibration:
Pro-Vibe
utilizes an IMI calibration shaker Pro-Vibe to check your Analyzer measurements. Pro-Vibe can also check your accelerometers
& cables to make sure they are in proper operation. Additional training can be provided at the same time by increasing
your knowledge of your capabilities you have in your analyzer that you may not currently be utilizing. Bump tests, continuous
monitoring during sweep measurements, balancing capabilities, and improved the use of waveforms in analysis.
Pro-Vibe
can also update your machine templates with the latest alarms, and installing the latest software and analyzer firmware
so you have the latest Commtest capabilities. By tuning up your software, technical capability, and data files you will
get more out of your companies vibration program.

Citrix GOTOMEETING Connection Training:
Pro-Vibe
can via a web connection update your Ascent software so you are running the latest HVAC templates and can instruct you
technician on how to setup the software and sites/routes so the tech can in the future setup his own jobsites and collect
all the correct data for vibration analysis.
Pro-Vibe can also connect
to provide training on the software and use of the analyzer so your tech has the ability to acquire bump test data, perform
sweep readings to find critical resonant issues on the test units. The connection can also allow interaction on how
to perform balancing on fans, pumps, and chillers.
Utilization of
this service allows Training without the costs of Travel/Motel/Meals with a low cost per hour for connection. You can
have as many technicians on site learning from a single connection. Cost per hour for training is only $105 per hour.

Training Video via Sony
Walkman:
Pre-installed training videos produced
by Pro-Vibe can be downloaded onto you computer or Sony Walkman to watch at the technicians convenience on all types of topics
including how to setup a route/jobsite to how to setup the analyzer so you can collect sweep data or impact bump test data.
Sign up for a demo of the training provided by Pro-Vibe by using the site inquiry form!

Balancing & Laser Alignment:
Chiller balance on Trane CVHE/F is critical. The manufacturers
limit on an air run w/o elbow is .1 in/sec at radial locations. The refrigerant run can increase 3 to 7 times the air run.
I recommend balancing the air run w/o elbow to levels below .05 in/sec velocity. Normal balancing practices allow balance
to be in the range of .03 in/sec velocity.
Fans or cooling towers normally balanced in 2-4 hours. Prior to balance
make sure belts and sheaves are in good working order.
Laser alignment on pumps, open drive chillers, and cooling
towers can normally be accomplished also within 2-4 hours. Balance and alignment documentation shows the improvements that
can be accomplished. This should increase bearing and equipment life so you get more out of your asset dollars. *
Calculator/Software
(TI 85/86):
Purchase a TI 86 Calculator loaded w/several helpful Infield Predictive Utilities to identify the
cause of machine faults. (Belt) calculates the belt pass, motor speed, fan speed and harmonics of all these frequencies. The
(Balance) Utility (1) Locates the location on the CVHE balance nut opposite heavy spot using Accelerometer or Bentley probes.
(2) Other Programs perform conversion from Velocity to Mils, Oz to grams, etc. (3) (dB Calc) Calculates open Rotor Bars in
motor current readings and more.

Report Generation:
Pro-Vibe can Provide
chiller reports for manufacturers on (Carrier, McQuay, Trane, York) chillers. Reports on Centrifugal, Screw, Scroll, Recip
type chillers.
Custom formal reports can be generated from readings on VB Series Analyzers. Email Pro-Vibe the files
and the reports will be generated. VB Series Analyzers can also be rented so you can collect vibration and current readings.
Rental Fees: $126 per day to $550 per week plus shipping & Insurance.
Reports for commissioning can be performed
in an Access Database and converted to the Adobe pdf format. All machine reports are normally produced in the "WORD"
or PDF file format.
Pricing on HVAC equipment vibration reports: 2010
Chillers/Air Compressors: $98.00
Fans
& Pumps: $54.50
