Taking Shock Pulse Readings
To take a shock pulse reading, connect a shock pulse
transducer and switch the A2010 to the SPM mode.
The results from the last reading are shown on the
BEARING TEST menu (fig. 7). The basic bearing data
last set are shown when the SET key is pressed (fig. 6).
• Check that the bearing is rotating.
• Press SET and check/change NORM, TYPE,
COMP and Acc. Press the M key.
• Connect the transducer to the measuring point.
• Press the M key again.
A measuring cycle takes approximately 10 seconds.
During measurement, the peak indicator blinks and
the basic bearing data are on the screen. A message
in the lower right hand corner shows which trans-
ducer is being used:
TMU - an installed shock pulse transducer with
TMU (transducer matching unit)
PROBE - the hand-held probe
TRA - a transducer with quick connector or a
permanently installed transducer
without TMU.
Results of a Normalized Reading
The A2010 will accept the reading
• if the NORM No. is min. 10 (min. 18 for the probe
transducer).
• if signal strength and shock pulse pattern are
within the range which is possible for a bearing
with the preset basic data.
The result of a normalized reading is shown in figure
7. It consist of:
CODE A = good condition
B = poor lubrication condition
C = poor surface condition
D = bearing damage
LUB Lubrication number for oil film condition
COND Condition number for surface condition
LR / HR Measured shock values.
An arrow points at one of the fields on the coloured
scale:
green – good condition (CODE A
)
yellow – caution (CODE B or C)
red – bad condition (CODE D).

Unnormalized Readings
When the NORM No. is set to 0, the A2010 will
display LR and HR only (fig. 8). The condition codes
and the arrow are not shown.
Note that LR / HR values are always independent of
the NORM No. The measuring unit is dBsv (decibel
shock value), and the range is from -19 dBsv to +99
dBsv.
