Figure 5. Sensor Setup and Connection
Sensor Care and Handling
Caution
• To prevent damage to the piezoelectric
element inside the Sensor, do not drop.
A faulty Sensor significantly affects the
diagnostic quality.
• Do not pull or force the cable while
attaching or removing the Sensor.
• Allow the Sensor 10 seconds to warm-up
before data collection.
• Make sure that all cables are free from
any rotating parts of the machine.
• Always place the Sensor in the softcase
pouch when not in use.
Tachometer Setup
During the Machine Setup procedure, you have to enter
the speed/RPM (revolutions/minute) of the rotating
machine under test. If the RPM is unknown, you can use
the non-contact type laser Tachometer to measure the
RPM.
Note
Fluke recommends the use of a Tachometer for
variable-frequency drives (VFD) to determine the
running speed under varying load conditions.
