Preface This manual describes the Bump Test and how to apply it using the Dynamix 2500 data collector. You install the extension module with the Bump Test Secure Digital (SD) card. See Installing Optional Extension Modules on page 7 for installation instructions. When using the Dynamix 2500 data collector and the Bump Test extension module, you can do the following: • Determine natural (or resonant) frequencies of a machine or structure. • Identify a structure’s resonant modes.
Preface Additional Resources These documents contain additional information concerning related products from Rockwell Automation. Resource Description Dynamix 2500 Data Collector User Manual, publication 1441-UM001 Describes the Dynamix 2500 data collector, which provides predictive maintenance by using noise and vibration analysis.
