SKF Multilog On-line System IMx-8/IMx-8Plus
User Manual
Revision E
o
The number of events that can be stored depends on the number of
channels used, number of samples per channel, number of speed
pulses, internal flash sector alignment of data and additional data
provided with the capture.
o
For a maximum sized capture, i.e. 8 channels, 10 kHz, 60 seconds,
the buffer is capable to hold at least 30 captures. This scales with the
number of samples in a capture, i.e. if number of channels or
samples/channel is halved then the capacity for the number of
captures stored is doubled.
o
When the buffer is full, no new captures will be triggered until there is
enough space to store a new capture (when at least one capture has
been uploaded to the server).

2.6 Hardware Maintenance
The IMx-8/IMx-8Plus hardware, i.e. IMx device and its associated sensors, are
virtually maintenance free, though a yearly inspection of all installed equipment is
advised.
The IMx device does not need to be opened for hardware maintenance or inspection,
in case of suspected hardware failure; replace the faulty device (unit replacement).
Good practice is to use the IMx Manager app to generate and compare annual SAT
(Site Acceptance Test) reports.
2.6.1 Performance over Time
No significant performance degradation over time, is expected for the IMx hardware.
2.7 Mobile data/Wi-Fi antenna (optional)
For an IMx-8Plus, this combined mobile / Wi-Fi antenna is suitable for mounting
on/through an outer enclosure or cabinet.
It has a circular footprint and the integral cable is pre-terminated in appropriate
connectors for the LTE 1, LTE 2 and Wi-Fi connections on the IMx-8Plus, top end
cap, refer section
