VIBCONNECT RF 05.2012
Foreword
Foreword
Thank you for purchasing our VIBCONNECT RF online condition
monitoring system. VIBCONNECT RF offers maximum flexibility at
minimum costs for installation and operation. It caters for the con-
tinuous condition monitoring of machines for which wired systems
would not be economically viable.
System properties
• Easy and quick installation without cabling
• Low purchasing, installation and operating costs
• Ideal to cover distant or difficult to reach locations
• Free OMNITREND PC software for visualization, analysis and
configuration
• Up to 50 Sensor Units communicate with each Bridge
• Each Sensor Unit connects to two 3-in-1 sensors for vibration,
roller bearing condition and temperature
• Separation of radio module and sensors for optimized signal
reception
• Measures time waveform and temperature simultaneously
• FFT spectrum and envelope spectrum (bearing condition)
• Overall and narrow-band characteristic values
• 3 power options: Long-life batteries, 24 VDC or Harvester
• Battery life approx. 4 years thanks to energy-efficient sensor
technology and intelligent power management
• Battery load monitoring
• Radio frequency is ideal for applications without a permanent
radio communication
• Maximum radio range: 300 meters
• Upgradable with additional sensor units at any time
