Rigid or Flexible Foundation?
An additional factor in ISO machinery classifications is
whether the machinery is mounted on rigid or flexible
foundations. Therefore, an additional setting that
helps define your Alarm Velocity Group’s overall
vibration alarm levels is whether the machinery you’re
measuring has Rigid (default) or Flexible foundations.
• In Setup Mode, select the Foundation option
that describes the mounting type for machinery
you’re measuring (Rigid or Flexible).
