Suitable measuring

points on the machine

of contact resonance. This is particularly important for measure-

ments at high frequency.

5.5.2 Mounting sensor

CAUTION

Risk of injury from rotating machine parts!

When installing the sensors while the machine is running, there is

a risk of serious injury caused by exposed, moving machine parts.

» Do not remove any guards on the machine.

» Always adhere to the safety instructions for work on running

machinery.

Thanks to the compact design and cabling, the sensor can be

installed in locations where limited space is available, using a suit-

able adapter.

Screwing the sensor to the machine is, however, the most secure

and stable option (VIB 3.480 adapter). The adapter with adhesive

base (VIB 3.418) has been designed for attachment to measuring

points where it is not possible to drill holes, for example because

the housing wall is not thick enough. For attachment by magnetic

force, use the VIB 3.423 magnetic adapter.
