Sensor Installation
6
NOTE
Do not permanently affix sensors to assets until you’ve allowed sufficient time to ensure sta-
ble communication between sensors and gateways in their temporary positions.
6.1 Sensor Placement Considerations
When considering test point sensor locations, the individual parts of the
equipment and its operation should be well understood. Basic rotating equip-
ment will have a combination of bearings, shafts, shaft coupling equipment,
fans, pumps, compressors, etc. Note that this unit is not suitable for monitor-
ing bearing or gearbox vibration as this would require a higher frequency
range (this product has a maximum frequency of 1 kHz).
For personal and equipment safety, do not affix sensors where they can inter-
fere with machine operation. Affix sensors to solid metal. Refer to the dedi-
cated section below for a list of areas where sensors should not be affixed.
6.2 Mounting the Sensors
Sensors should be placed on structural parts of the equipment that signifi-
cantly respond to the overall vibration and dynamic forces (example photos
below).
For best results, clean the area where the sensor is to be attached.
Confirm stable communication between sensors and gateways before com-
mitting to a permanent installation. Move the gateway closer to the sensors if
necessary and use multiple gateways if greater coverage is required.
Although the maximum distance between sensors and gateway is 65 m (213
ft.), the range is affected by concrete, metal, etc. in the line-of-sight. Multiple
gateways can be used for wider coverage.
Sensors must be installed where they cannot interfere with the operation of
the machinery under test or where they will interfere with machine operators.
Attach the sensors to the equipment using the supplied double-sided tape.
Adhesive alternatives are available commercially that could be more reliable
on some machinery (see the
Specifications section for details).
