Mounting of the VIBROCONTROL 850
When mounted at external heat or cold sources (e.g. machine parts), systems, sensors and
cables can adopt dangerous temperatures, whereby burning, among other things, can occur in
the event of contact. Mounted sensors must not be used as steps.
The VIBROCONTROL 850 is only sensitive to vibration in the direction parallel to the length axis of the
enclosure. For proper mounting of the Vibration Guard, a smooth flat surface, free of dirt and paint of
min. Ø28 with a M8 thread in the middle, should be prepared. The M8 thread must have a depth of at
least 10 mm.
To prevent unintended loosening of the stud while mounted on vibrating parts such as pumps, motor
mounting bolts, gear boxes, etc., it should be secured with liquid thread lock e.g.
1) LOCTITE 243: Recommended for use where disassembly with hand tools is required for servicing.
Prevents loosening on vibrating parts such as pumps, motor mounting bolts, gear boxes
2) LOCTITE 270: Recommended for permanently locking studs, where regular removal fo
maintenance is not required.
For use of above-mentioned products refer to their respective datasheets.
The VIBROCONTROL 850 has an enclosure with IP68 ingress protection, which means that it
is suitable for outdoor use. Please be aware that if the device is exposed to direct sunlight for
a long period of time that the text on the label of the standard devices might fade.
It is only allowed to engage 10 mm of the stud into the VIBROCONTROL 850.
To allow an easy installation of the VIBROCONTROL 850 please make sure that there is enough
space available around the device.
