Mounting
The Echo
®
Wireless Vibration Sensor should be stud mounted on a clean, flat surface. It
is not recommended to mount the sensor with a magnet due to the size and mass of the
sensor. The correct mounting torque for the sensor is 3 to 5 ft-lb (4 to 7 N-m). It is also a
good idea to put a small amount of silicon grease on the bottom of the sensor before
mounting.
WARNING
– Do NOT tighten the sensor by twisting on the housing. Damage to the
sensor WILL occur. Tighten to the correct torque using a wrench on the hex base.

Preparing the Surface
If a clean, flat spot is not available on the machine, it is recommended to prepare a flat,
machined surface using an optional IMI Model 080A127 1” spot face tool, shown below.
This tool will prepare a flat surface and drill the appropriate pilot hole for a ¼-28 UNF
thread. A ¼-28 tap is NOT included with the spot face tool.
If you are unable to use a spot face tool on the machine, optional Model 080A118
Mounting Pad can be epoxied on to the machine. Optional Model 075A05 Small Epoxy
Kit or Model 075A06 Large Epoxy Kit can be used to attach them to the machine.
