VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012

As the system is based on wireless communication, the installation

of the components is very simple. All you need to do is installing

and connecting the bridge, the sensor unit(s) and the sensors. The

few cable connections required for the system are normally short

and easy to establish:

• Bridge: Power cable and network connection

• Sensor: Connection of sensor cable to sensor unit

• Sensor unit: 24 V or energy harvester power cable

Before installing the system in the machine park, conﬁgure the

OMNITREND software and change the IP address of the bridge if

required.
