Emerson AMS 2140 (CSI 2140) Machinery Health Analyzer

Description

The Emerson AMS 2140 (previously offered as the CSI 2140) Machinery Health Analyzer is a portable vibration analyzer and data collection unit designed for machinery diagnostics and predictive maintenance programs. The device acquires simultaneous four-channel vibration plus phase measurements, routing data, and transient signals across industrial plant assets. Equipped with patented PeakVue processing, it detects stress waves to identify early-stage bearing and gearbox degradation prior to mechanical failure.

The CSI 2140 connects to dynamic vibration sensors, accelerometers, velocity probes, flux coils, and process voltage signals. It features integrated analysis tools for route-based collection, transient monitoring, cross-channel phase analysis, operational deflection shape (ODS) modal testing, dynamic field balancing, and motor current signature analysis (MCSA). Data can be transferred via USB 2.0, Ethernet, or integrated wireless 802.11 b/g to AMS Suite: Machinery Health Manager for plant-wide asset health monitoring.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Cable Routing & Connections: Connect dynamic signal cables and sensors to the input ports located at the top of the analyzer. Ensure connectors are fully seated and locked before initiating measurement routes.
• Sensor Mounting: Secure accelerometers or triaxial sensors using magnetic bases or direct mounting studs on clean, solid bearing housing surfaces.
• Battery Charging: Recharge the Lithium-Ion battery pack within an ambient temperature range of 10 to 35 degC. Use the designated external power supply or car charger accessory.
• Hazardous Area Operation: Verify that the instrument meets the required zone classification (Class 1 Div 2 or ATEX/IECEx Zone 2) before operating in environments containing flammable gases or vapors.
