1.1 AMS 2140 Machinery Health Analyzer overview

The AMS 2140 Machinery Health Analyzer is a portable vibration analyzer that lets you

quickly and easily collect data from rotating equipment in process plants, do an on-site

analysis of the machine, and export results to the AMS Suite: Machinery Health Manager

software for storage and further analysis. You can also collect data using PeakVue™

technology. The analyzer supports up to four channels to make collecting data faster and

more efficient.

You can add additional programs to the analyzer to further expand your analysis and

troubleshooting capabilities. Add the Advanced Analyze, Balance, Advanced Laser Alignment,

ODS/Modal, and Advanced Transient programs at any time.

1.2 User Guide overview

The AMS 2140 Machinery Health Analyzer User Guide is written for Vibration Analysts,

Reliability Data Collection Technicians, and Reliability Engineers who monitor rotating

machines in a process plant environment.

The User Guide describes how to set up the analyzer, take route and job-based

measurements, review the data, and transfer the data to AMS Machinery Manager for

storage and analysis. The User Guide is written for the single-channel, dual-channel, and

four-channel versions of the AMS 2140. Any differences are noted.

1.3 Documentation conventions

The following conventions are used throughout:

Note

A note paragraph contains special comments or instructions.

CAUTION!

A caution paragraph alerts you to actions that can have a major impact on the equipment or

stored data.

WARNING!

A warning paragraph alerts you to actions that can have extremely serious consequences for

equipment and/or personnel.

1.4 Precautions 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 AMS 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 AMS 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 AMS 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 AMS

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 AMS 2140 with the power supply

connected to the analyzer. The AMS 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.

When charging the AMS 2140 with the battery pack or the battery pack by itself,

ensure the ambient temperature where charging is occurring is 50° F to 95° F (10° C
