SKF Multilog On-Line System IMx-S 2 - 1
User Manual – Revision S

Installation
The installation of an IMx-S must be carried out according to the instructions and advice
given in this manual. Any deviation from these directions can be made only after
consulting with the SKF.
Installation errors can lead to a situation where the system does not work as intended
and machinery faults go undetected. In case of questions arising during installation
contact TSG (Technical Support Group) for advice.
➢ Installation errors that require the involvement of SKF personnel
to rectify, may incur additional charges.
Safety Considerations
Observe all site safety requirements including any that may be specific to the machines
or areas where the installation is being carried out. This will likely include, but not be
limited to, PPE (personal protective equipment) and a permit to work.
Important – An IMx-S unit contains circuit boards that are static sensitive.
Therefore, use appropriate precautions to prevent ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) when
handling circuit boards.
The following are some of the ways to prevent ESD when handling or transferring circuit
boards:
• Use an ESD wrist strap
• Use a grounding mat
• Use correct packaging materials such as anti-static bags
Important - In order to fulfil fire enclosure requirements, the cabinet must always
be mounted using all four supplied mounting brackets.
When mounting the IMx-S unit, make sure that it is firmly attached at a location where it
is not unnecessarily exposed to radiant heat or strong magnetic fields.
The ambient temperature limits for the IMx-S can be found in the Environmental section
of the Technical Data.
Scenario
Before beginning an installation, it is important to assess and evaluate the location
where the system is to be installed and to plan how the installation should look after it
has been completed. For guidance on how and where to attach sensors to machines
