3 Fluke Corporation The benefits of vibration screening
Sample trend plot using the Fluke 805 trending template.
Benefits of trending with the
805 Vibration Meter
Users can export measurements
from the 805 Vibration Meter to
an Excel template on their PC in
order to trend the overall vibra-
tion, CF+, and IR temperature.
Looking at the number alone
for the overall vibration or bear-
ing condition might not be of
much benefit to the operator or
technician if they don’t know
what the numbers mean.
The user may not know what
is normal or what indicates a
problem. With the 805 Vibration
Meter, users can use the sever-
ity assessment and trending
functionality to overcome this
obstacle.
After measurements are taken
on the operator rounds, the
results can be easily uploaded
into Excel. The user can trend
with preconfigured Excel

templates and plot graphs and
compare the overall vibra-
tion readings to ISO Standards
(10616-1, -3 and -7). If there is
an abnormality, it can be identi-
fied by using the trend charts.
The user can now see a clear
picture of the changing bear-
ing condition and deteriorating
health of the machine.
