Repeat this procedure for your next
measurement POINT. To take measurements
at the next location, press the Select button
again to release the HOLD function. The HOLD
indicator disappears, the RUN indicator appears
and measurements resume.
How to Use the Optional External Sensor
Use the external sensor with magnet attachment to
increase the consistency and quality of your MCA’s
vibration measurements. Also, magnetic mounted
sensors provide higher sensitivity to vibration signals
occurring at higher frequencies (i.e., bearing fault
vibration) than do probe tip sensors. Thus, use the
external magnetic mounted sensor to facilitate earlier
detection of bearing problems vs. the MCA’s internal
sensor.
