6 Mounting
6.1 Mounting requirements
■
Comply with technical data such as the permitted ambient conditions for operation
of the sensor (e.g., temperature range, EM interference),
see "technical data",
page 55 .
■
Protect the sensor from direct sunlight.
■
Only mount sensor with the intended accessories.
■
Note the signal alignment according to the orientation shown in figure 1 .
■
A firm connection of sensor and machine without elastic intermediate layers must
be ensured. Otherwise, the vibration measurement is falsified.
■
For reliable temperature measurement, direct full-surface contact with the meas‐
uring object must be ensured.
Mounting location
When selecting the mounting location, the following factors must be considered:
■
The mounting location must be as free from (electro)magnetic disturbance fields
as possible.
■
The area should be at least 28 x 28 mm.
■
Attach directly to the component to be monitored or as close as possible (infor‐
mation on measurement on rotating machines such as motors can be found in
section 6.3 ).
6.2 Mounting
Observe the maximum permissible tightening torque of the sensor with M3 fixing
screws of 10 Nm.
Recommended mounting screws: M3 x 10 according to EN ISO 4762.
6.3 Mounting methods
NOTICE
It should be noted that when adapter plates and holders are used, the contact temper‐
ature is strongly influenced, since the sensor no longer measures directly on the object
to be monitored.
Fastening on flat surface
1. Prepare the flat surface with two wells according to the dimensional drawing ( see
"Dimensional drawing", page 56 ) with M3 female threads.
2. Clean the mounting surface.
3. Apply thermal paste for optimum contact temperature measurement.
4. Screw the sensor in place accordingly.
Fastening on curved/uneven surface with only one threaded hole
To be able to mount the sensor on an uneven or curved surface, one of the
mounting plates listed in
section 6.4 should be used. This means the sensor can
be fixed with only one screw.
1. Prepare the surface with the well for the M4, M5 or M8 countersunk screw with
female thread.
2. Clean the mounting surface.
3. Screw on the adapter plate with the countersunk screw.
