Product Information
Murphy EVS-2 Overview
The Murphy Electronic Vibration Switch (EVS-2) protects against equipment failure by monitoring velocity-based vibration levels and providing an early warning or shutdown when abnormal vibration is detected. The EVS-2 can be connected to Murphy’s TTD
annunciator,
Centurion
, Centurion PLUS or any third- party controller that accepts a switch input or 4-
20mA signal for increased functionality.
NOTE: The Murphy EVS-2 complements Murphy’s VS2
shock and excessive vibration switch, which is designed to detect an abnormal shock due to equipment failure and to shutdown other equipment in a system to prevent further damage.
Features
• Universal use, can be mounted horizontal, vertical or at any other angle
• Piezoelectric-crystal internal sensor with built-in microelectronics for reduced noise sensitivity
• Electronically integrated output signal that measures and trips on velocity (IPS peak)
• Two independently adjustable output channels
• Shutdown setpoint measured in velocity (IPS peak)
• 4-20 mA output for continuous monitoring capability
• Solid-state outputs for setpoint trip
• Adjustable time delay to prevent false tripping on high-vibration start-ups or nonrepetitive transient events
• RAW 100mV/g output also available
Applications
The Murphy EVS-2 can be used on any equipment where abnormal vibration could lead to equipment damage, including:
The Murphy EVS-2 can monitor and alert the operator of abnormal vibration caused by a variety of possible factors, including:
Cooling fans
Engines
Pumps
Compressors
Gear boxes
Motors
Generator sets
Imbalance

EVS-2 Characteristics and Orientation
To prevent damage to the EVS-2 vibration switch, the following vibrations may not be exceeded:
• Vibration 15 g
• Shock 150 g
Two-Channel LED Indicators
Two independent, adjustable level detectors with selectable delay times are equipped with corresponding relays which are typically used for Alarm and Shutdown. Both channels use the same vibration range selection.
Red and Yellow LED indicators representing these two channels are illuminated during normal use. When a fault is activated, the LED indicators will turn off.
IMPORTANT! Because the EVS-2 resets automatically when the vibration level returns below the set point, it is important to ensure that the fault has been addressed before restarting the equipment.

Installation
Mounting
The Murphy EVS-2 must be mounted and set in accordance with the guidelines in this manual to obtain the desired and specified performance and equipment protection.
Mounting occurs via a ½” NPT thread, the tightening torque is hand tight plus 2 to 3 turns.
When using a mounting bracket, ensure that mounting surfaces are smooth and flat.
Care must also be taken that the mounting surface is not subject to natural vibrations. Using a high stiffness mounting surface prevents natural vibrations which cause measurement errors.
WARNING! Exceeding the torque specification will damage the aluminum housing. If there is concern of the device becoming loose due to excessive vibration, use a permanent thread locker such as Loctite 271 (RED).

Wiring
The method chosen to electrically connect to the switch should be mechanically flexible to eliminate the measurement of vibration induced from conduit and to provide a moisture barrier as well. Although Sealtite
and other flexible conduit have been used successfully, in areas of extreme humidity or moisture Murphy recommends using an “SO” type cable along with a Div.
2 suitable rain-tight CGB Gland/Strain relief fitting. No stress should be possible on the wiring to the terminal block. If such protection is not provided by the conduit system, some form of stress relief must be installed.
WARNING! Certification compliance requires the use of a cable gland and strain relief fitting.
To assure compatibility with EMI compliance standards, any signal level wiring such as transducer or 4-20 mA wiring should use shielded cable in EMI proof conduit, separate from any power wiring except the DC power for the EVS-2. AWG 16-26 wire can be used.
NOTE: It is strongly recommended that this cabling be installed using the method defined in the Shipboard Cable/Cord Installation document (00-
02-0725 rev 08/2010). That method can be found by following this link http://www.fwmurphy.com/uploaded/documents/pdfs/00-02-0725.pdf

Terminal Assignment
The power supply +24 VDC voltage is connected via terminals 1 and 2.
NOTE: Minimum voltage acceptable for normal operation is 20-30 VDC.
A DC to DC converter can be used for 12V systems. Murphy recommends the Phoenix
Contact MINI-PS-12-24DC/24DC/1 or equivalent.
Non-latching relay outputs for Channel 1 (K1) and Channel 2 (K2) are present on terminals 3 through 8.
NOTE: On initial power-up:
Relays do not activate until the 4-20mA reading settles below the trip point for the corresponding channel.
Ex: If Channel 1 is set at 50%, the Relay will not activate on power-up until the 4-20 settles below 12mA. This could take approximately 7 seconds.
If the trip point is higher (90%) then it will take less time.
If the trip point is lower (10%) then it will take more time.
4-20mA Output requires approximately 30 seconds to reach full resolution.

Procedure
Refer to the monitored machine recommended setting and mounting information and make appropriate adjustments. To adjust the setpoint, open the Murphy EVS-2 cover and follow these steps:
1.
Select the appropriate delay settings and ranges using the DIP switches.
2.
A. Time delays for each channel are set to either 1 second or 5 seconds via DIP switch 1 for
Channel 1, and DIP switch 5 for Channel 2.
(ON=1 sec; OFF=5 sec)
B. Select a range that allows normal vibration and preferred trip points to exist near mid range.
Range selection affects both channels. The measurement range in vibration velocity (in/sec peak) is established when:
DIP switch 2: ON=0.75 in/sec peak (DIP switches 3, 4=OFF)
DIP switch 3: ON=1.50 in/sec peak (DIP switches 2, 4=OFF)
DIP switch 4: ON=3.00 in/sec peak (DIP switches 2, 3=OFF)
Use a slotted, narrow blade screwdriver to adjust both of the Vibration Set Point potentiometers:
To increase the Vibration Set Point, turn the potentiometer clock-wise.
To decrease the Vibration Set Point, turn the potentiometer counter clockwise.
3.
Make sure that the machine to be monitored is powered on and in normal operation.
Determining & Adjusting the Delay Setpoint (1 or 5 Seconds)
The Delay Setpoint value can define the line between sensitivity and nuisance faults. A 1 second delay allows a potentially catastrophic failure to be detected quickly. A 5 second delay helps prevent normal start-up vibrations from triggering an alarm. An evaluation of these two conditions should be made for each unique installation before setting the Delay Setpoint.
If start-up vibrations exceed the established threshold limits and trigger the alarm at the desired delay set-point, wire the EVS-2 to a “Class B” input timer on a Murphy annunciator or controller. If used with a PLC system, the input can be timed out for startup.
There are two independently adjustable channels. Each channel has its own delay setting.

Pot Settings
The Vibration Setpoint potentiometers (pots) adjust the level detection based on the scale set in DIP switches 2 through 4. These pots adjust to a percentage of the scale (range) chosen. If
0 to 1.5 IPS is selected as the range, then a pot setting of 50% would cause the EVS-2 to trip at a vibration of 0.75 IPS.
Figures 5 and 6 illustrate these pot settings for the EVS-2.

Setting of Alarms
The alarm values may vary considerably, up or down, for different machines. The values chosen will normally be set relative to a baseline value determined from experience for the measurement position or direction for that particular machine.
As shown in Figure 7, it is recommended that the alarm value be set higher than the baseline by an amount equal to 25% of the upper limit for Zone B. If the baseline is low, the alarm should be below Zone C.
Where there is no established baseline (for example with a new machine) the initial alarm setting should be based either on experience with other similar machines or relative to agreed acceptance values.
After a period of time, the steady-state baseline value will be established and the alarm setting should be adjusted accordingly.
Recommended Alarm Settings
The following are guidelines based on industry standards. Actual settings will vary depending on mounting and unit installation. (Note: Refer to the Appendix for recommended settings by specific manufacturers.) Experience with a given installation should be the major factor in deciding the settings.
It is recommended that the alarm value should not normally exceed 1.25 times the upper limit of zone B.

Reciprocating Compressor Vibration Setting Guidelines
THE VALUES LISTED BELOW ARE GUIDELINES ONLY – Cyclical failures generally occur in the range of 10 to 100 cycles. High velocity at high frequency will result in failure at a much greater rate than high velocities at a low frequency. Experience should also be a guideline in determining acceptance limits for a particular compressor package.
