VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012
Suitable measurement
locations on the machine
way and free of contact resonance. This is particularly important
for measurements at high frequency.
5.5.2 Mounting sensor
CAUTION
Risk of injury from rotating machine parts!
When installing the sensors while the machine is running, there is
a risk of serious injury caused by exposed, moving machine parts.
» Do not remove any guards on the machine.
» Always adhere to the safety instructions for work on running
machinery.
Thanks to the compact design and cabling, the sensor can be
installed in locations where limited space is available, using a suit-
able adapter.
Screwing the sensor to the machine is, however, the most secure
and stable option (VIB 3.480 adapter, included). The adapter with
adhesive base (VIB 3.418) has been designed for attachment to
measurement locations where it is not possible to drill holes, for
example because the housing wall is not thick enough. For attach-
ment by magnetic force, use the VIB 3.423 magnetic adapter. Both
adapters are available as accessories.
