Mapping a Test Site
7
To best maintain a test site, it is important to keep a list of asset (equipment)
names and their types, classifications, and locations. Depending on the size
of the operation, a site map may also be needed to show machine locations
and the test points where sensors are attached to assets.
7.1 Assets
The term ‘asset’ is used when referring to a piece of equipment under test.
Log as much information as possible for each asset so that maintenance and
configuration can be handled quickly and accurately. Keep track of locations,
names, categories, and test points/sensors.
7.2 Sensor Groups
When using the mobile and Windows apps, sensors are grouped for easy
tracking and monitoring. Groups should be appropriately named for clarity
and easy identification.
7.3 Test Points
A test point is a location on an asset where a sensor is attached. Test point lo-
cation is a critical part of the vibration monitoring strategy. Refer to Section 6,
sensor Installation , for important information and instructions.
7.4 Sensor Identification
Sensor serial numbers are printed on their housings. The mobile and Win-
dows apps will show the serial number of sensors and gateway hardware
when communication is established. Names of sensors and other compo-
nents in the system can be customized.
