A good rule of thumb for establishing the PeakVue alert levels is to use the rule of 10's. This
applies for most rolling element bearing equipment with a turning speed between 900 and
4000 CPM. Using this approach, the Advisory alert would be set at 10 g's, the Maintenance
alert at 20 g's, and the Failed alert at 40 g's. In general, PeakVue alert levels can then be
interpreted as follows:
10 g's Indication of Abnormal Situation
20 g's Serious Abnormal Situation - Maintenance Plan Required
40 g's Critical Abnormal Situation - Implement Maintenance Plan
For more information on PeakVue, see Section 5.2.
The default alert thresholds for temperature correspond closely to a generic open drip-
proof (ODP) motor with class F insulation and a service factor of 1.15, operating at an
ambient temperature of 40°C or below and at an altitude of 1000 meters or below . These
values are also reasonable thresholds to use when there is no knowledge of the process,
the type of machinery, or the operating environment. For more information, see Chapter 5.
