5. Place the motor fin mount probe/pad between the motor fins at the location
desired.
•
Correct motor fin mount selection is important. The probe must fit in between
the motor fins, and the bottom of the probe must contact the motor casing.
•
For motors that have a space greater than
½
” between each fin, motor fin
mount probe pads with a thickness of
½
” are available and will reduce the
amount of adhesive needed.
6. Firmly press the motor fin mount probe/pad into place, ensuring the bottom of the
motor fin mount probe/pad is touching the motor casing (this contact area is where
the vibration is transferred from the motor to the sensor).
•
The tip of the motor fin mount probe/pad should be as flat against the motor
casing as possible.
•
The motor fin mount probe/pad should not be resting on the top of the fins – if it
does, then the bottom of the probe may not be in direct contact with the motor
casing.
7. Use a spatula to redirect any epoxy that has been displaced from the mounting area
when pushing the fin mount probe/pad into place.
8. Fill in any remaining voids with the adhesive to ensure the motor fin mount will be
fixed in place.
9. Allow full cure for the adhesive prior to installing sensor.
3.3.5
Temporary mounting
Temporary mounting may be required to perform field testing. This allows for testing the
location and orientation of each sensor to get the best possible coverage. A magnetic
mount is the best solution in this case. Once the optimum location is determined, the
device shall be permanently mounted using one of the methods outlined above.
CAUTION
The recommended magnets have a pull force of 40lb-60lb and are very strong. Handle
with care when working with multiple units or near metal structures.
Procedure
1. Prepare the surface. Use a rag or wire brush to remove any loose debris, grease, dirt,
or rust.
2. Attach the device on the magnetic base with a
¼
”-28 threaded hole.
3. Position the magnetic base on a ferrous surface, making sure that the device is
properly oriented.
4. Check to see that the device is properly and firmly attached. Wriggle the device
with your hand. It should not wobble or rotate.
