VIBRATION MONITORING SYSTEM
9.1
VIBRATION TRANSDUCER
The vibration transducer shall be selected based on the recommendation of the equipment
vendor. The transducer selected shall be reliable, accurate and well proven in similar applications
elsewhere. A compatible vibration monitor to match the transducer selected shall be included
along with the interconnecting cable between the sensor and the monitoring unit. The monitoring
unit shall be provided with its own power supply unit and relay contact outputs for alarm and trip.
The unit should feature a bar graph display with graduated scale for vibration and LED's for
status, alarm & trip indications. The monitor shall be supplied with all the mounting accessories.
The monitor shall also provide an RS 232, modbus output, TCP/IP or PROFIBUS for interfacing
to other plant supervisory control and automation system.

INSPECTIONS AND TESTING

The Inspection Data Sheets for each instrument shall be prepared by the CONTRACTOR and
submitted to consultant/client for approval.
CONTRACTOR shall submit to ADWEA/ENGINEER a detailed Inspection and Test Plan (ITP) for
approval with all activities and acceptance criteria.
10.1
PRESSURE TESTS
Instrument process piping up to the first block valve shall be tested with the piping or equipment
to which it is connected.
For remote installations, testing of the lead line from the first block valve up to the secondary
block valve at the instrument can be done simultaneously, provided the instrument is blocked off
from the source of pressure and vented to atmosphere.
For close-coupled installations the connection on the downstream side of the first block valves is
broken, and the balance of the instrument piping is tested separately during instrument checkout
and calibration.
10.2
INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION
All the instruments shall be function tested on site before installation. The test report format shall
be submitted to ADWEA/ENGINEER and approval should be sought from ADWEA/ENGINEER
before proceeding with the work. The test equipments to be used shall have better accuracy than
the instrument and should have a test certificate from independent certified testing authority,
which is currently valid. The factory calibration certificate of each instrument shall be submitted to
ADWEA/ENGINEER prior to installation.

10.3
CABLE CONTINUITY & INSULATION RESISTANCE

All the cables laid shall be thoroughly checked for continuity and insulation resistance before
termination. The cable continuity and insulation resistance report shall be submitted as a final
documentation by the MANUFACTURER/CONTRACTOR.
10.4
LOOP-CHECKING AND FUNCTIONAL TESTING

Loop checking and functional testing will be done by the CONTRACTOR and witnessed by the
ADWEA/ENGINEER. The procedures and results of the loop checks shall be recorded in formats
to be prepared by the CONTRACTOR and approved by ADWEA/ENGINEER.
10.5
NAMEPLATES AND TAGGING

Name plate shall be manufactured in stainless steel and permanently attached by the contractor
to every instrument and junction box.
CONTRACTOR to ensure that the following information, (wherever applicable) as a minimum,
shall be clearly stamped on to the nameplate for the instrument and is visible once the instrument
is finally mounted.
Manufacturer's name or trade mark.
Manufacturer's model number.
Manufacturer's serial number.
Electrical safety "type of protection" and enclosure.
Range including units of measure.
Output signal including units.
10.6
LABELLING
All plant-mounted instruments, e.g. transmitters, converters, control valves, etc. as well as fieldmounted junction boxes shall be provided with nameplates. Titles on nameplates shall be as per
piping and instrumentation diagram.
The material of the nameplate should be laminated plastic, white/black/white.
Note:
When specified by the principal, colours other than white shall be used for special
applications, e.g. for trip transmitters.

However, the engraved text shall be black in all cases.

components such as manual-operated switches, displacer-type level instruments and those for
temperature measurements, etc. which are not installed on a mounting plate.
11.
SPARE PARTS
The CONTRACTOR shall supply spare parts as listed else where in these documents.
If more than one new instrument of the same type and size is installed, the quantity of spare parts
to be provided by the CONTRACTOR shall be determined by the following:
The number of spare instruments or parts of instruments shall be equal to one sixth of the
number of installed units rounded up to the nearest integer.
A modified instrument shall be considered as a separate type of instrument.
A spare instrument shall be calibrated such that the operational instrument may be replaced by
the spare instrument without further adjustments.
The CONTRACTOR shall provide all consumable items required up to the time of system
acceptance for the Guarantee Period, and plus sufficient for two years operations thereafter. The
list of consumable items shall include, but not be limited to:
12.
Indicating lamps (if applicable).
Recording paper/ink/pens (for calibration kits).
Fuses.
SPECIAL TOOLS AND TEST INSTRUMENTS

The CONTRACTOR shall ensure that he has on site all test instruments, test kits, tools and
equipment necessary to achieve a high quality of work for the calibration, adjusting and repair of
the complete range and type of all instruments supplied for the project.
In addition, the CONTRACTOR shall ensure that his staff are adequately trained and competent
in the use of all tools and test instruments they are called upon to use.
The ADWEA/ENGINEER may direct the CONTF^ACTOR to remove from site any staff engaged
in the testing and calibration of the instrumentation or instrumentation systems and is deemed
incompetent by the ADWEA/ENGINEER in the use of the relevant testing equipment or tools.
