6 Detector III
Detector III is a hand-held measuring instrument with data recording function for
offline monitoring of systems and machinery (condition monitoring). For this
purpose, the instrument senses vibrations at pre-determined measuring points
using a Detector and works out the RMS values of vibration velocity, acceleration
in vibration and demodulation, the so-called characteristic values, for
characterizing machine or component condition. In addition, Detector can
measure temperatures using an infra-red sensor.
