Attach the magnetic holder to the mounting surface. Change mounting location if
the hold is poor. An additional mounting that prevents a detaching sensor from
getting into rotating parts is recommended.
NOTE
When using a magnetic holder, the vibration readings may be affected. Regularly
check that the hold and alignment are correct for this mounting method.
Mounting on motors and fans
The best results are obtained when the sensor is placed as close as possible to the
motor bearing. If this is not possible, the sensor should be mounted on a surface that
is in firm contact with the motor. As with the other mounting methods, mounting the
sensor on covers, e.g. the fan cover or other flexible components, is not recommended,
as this makes it much more difficult to interpret the vibrations and obtain relevant
information about the motor or fan.
The measuring axes should be aligned as shown in
so that the directions
shown are monitored and the vibration changes that occur are detected.
