The BC screen, when using two transducers, is presented in
Figure 7-8.
To the right side of the value, a bar graph indicates the
measurement stability.
On the left side of the screen are shown details regarding:

Transducer(s) used

Frequency range

Averaging type

Audio input (for BC only filtered input)

Volume (Disabled or percent of maximum volume)
The data collection may be temporary suspended by pressing the (AUX) key. To resume
measurement, just press again the (OK) key.
During live measurements, you can press:

(F2) - Change the detection type (RMS, Peak or p-p);

(F4) - Change the measurement settings.

(UP)/ (DOWN) Arrow – Change audio volume (if enabled)
7.3.4. Listening to bearing sound
The listening of bearing sound is an old proven method. Sound analyzes of low speed
bearings and gears can sometimes be much faster and even more reliable than BC-value.
With the VIBERX5™ you can both listen and look at the vibration value at the same time.
