3.5.8 Channel organisation
It is possible to use FALCON with WLS sensor or with 1 to 4 wired inputs.
The point to channel association depends on:
 Instrument setting: see § 2.2.
o Wired channel number: Single or Multi
o Accelerometer link: Wire or Wireless (WLS sensor)
 Number of optional channels of the instrument: see § 2.8, License information
 Measurement input type
 Configuration of measurement points: (horizontal or vertical shaft, location and measurement direction)*:
o Compatible with triaxial measurement: for triaxial measurement, the instrument groups together 1 to 3
points of the same machine with:
 the same location
 direction compatible with triaxial measurement, i.e.:
 For horizontal shaft:
o axial, horizontal and vertical measurement direction
Example:
Point

Pt1-Ax
NDE
Axial (Ax)
Pt1-H

Horizontal (H)
Pt1-V

Vertical (V)
or
o axial, radial oblique & and radial oblique 2 measurement direction
Example:

* Machine shaft direction, location and measurement direction are automatically created in NEST Machine setup.
For machines created in XPR, it must be done manually and shaft is considered as horizontal.
