Tru Pointe® 1100 Instruction 0028-9002

Vibration

Vibration, misalignment, or moving machinery which is not properly balanced can be deadly to

a system. These things can cause excessive wear bringing the life of any system to an early

demise.

All these problems have a common warning signal; increased ultrasonic energy. This ultrasonic

energy is generated from the friction associated with these problems, and can be detected with

the Tru Pointe

1100.

EXAMPLE: Maintaining a system using multiple pumps

or motors all of the same type. After testing a sample

of these bearings, the will be able to determine what

readings are normal or abnormal for each type.

REMINDER: To insure success, be consistent. If you

test a compressor bearing, for example, test the same

place, at the same sensitivity setting. It is a good idea

(although not necessary) to test units when they are

new, and keep your own records of what is acceptable

for a new piece of equipment.

See the previous section on charting your results.

WARNING! Be careful when working around rotating

machinery. The headphones will dampen much of the

sound around you. Use care, and be alert at all times.

Make certain the headphone cord is away from moving

machine parts.
