Note that default values are those shown above, in bold. Any errors encountered in
transferring the configuration are reported in-app. All credentials stored are
encrypted.
On successful completion of the commissioning activity, the gateway status is
changed to commissioned and the networking and sensor mesh radio, are activated.
Sensors can now be commissioned.

3.2.5.1 USB service interface
A USB service interface is available internally, for SKF use only or under the direction
of TSG or SKF application engineers

3.3.1 Installation considerations
When selecting a location for the sensor bear in mind that the sensor is single axis,
the vibration sensitive axis is through and perpendicular to, the mounting face.
Choose an appropriate installation position:
• Suitable for the machine vibration/temperature measurement envisaged
• Avoiding unnecessary exposure to sources of radiant heat
• That doesn’t impede routine maintenance of the machine
• Where the transducer is not easily damaged
• Of a suitable size and with clearance for mounting and accessing the sensor
• With the mounting area suitably prepared to ensure a good contact interface
• Mount it securely using stud or adhesive-stud mounting
Ensure that maintenance procedures are updated to include, where necessary, the
decommissioning and/or safe removal of the wireless sensors during machine
maintenance and overhaul.
3.3.2 Mounting detail
Once the mounting/measurement point location is decided, prepare the surface
appropriately:
• For direct stud mounting, drill and tap to suit the stud being used and spot
face an area if necessary. Recommendations:
o Depth: greater of 8 mm (0.31 in.) or stud length plus 2-threads.
o Drilled perpendicular to the mounting surface, within ±1°.
o Flat mounting surface for the IMx-1 – within 25 µm (0.001 in.).
