3.5.8 Channel organisation
It is possible to use FALCON with WLS sensor or with 1 to 4 wired inputs.
The point to channel association depends on:
Instrument setting: see § 2.2.
o Wired channel number: Single or Multi
o Accelerometer link: Wire or Wireless (WLS sensor)
Number of optional channels of the instrument: see § 2.8, License information
Measurement input type
Configuration of measurement points: (horizontal or vertical shaft, location and measurement direction)*:
o Compatible with triaxial measurement: for triaxial measurement, the instrument groups together 1 to 3
points of the same machine with:
the same location
direction compatible with triaxial measurement, i.e.:
For horizontal shaft:
o axial, horizontal and vertical measurement direction
Example:
or
o axial, radial oblique & and radial oblique 2 measurement direction
Example:
o For vertical shaft: axial, main radial and perpendicular direction
Example:
o Not compatible with triaxial measurement: all other cases or 4 points on the same location.
Example: 4 points on 2 bearings
* Machine shaft direction, location and measurement direction are automatically created in NEST Machine setup.
For machines created in XPR, it must be done manually and shaft is considered as horizontal.
