Page 6: Before You Read This Manual
We have not changed some pictures in the manual although they have been changed in the instrument already. This has only been done on places where such pictures have no consequence on the new function. For further technical and contact information visit www.adash.com, email: info@adash.cz... -
Page 7: Before Switching On
Use only original cables designed for connection with the sensor. If you are unsure, contact your distributor or the manufacturer. A long push and hold of the POWER button switches the instrument off incorrectly. Data could be lost. For further technical and contact information visit www.adash.com, email: info@adash.cz... -
Page 8: Batteries And Charging
Keep the unit in normal temperature before you begin measurement. Don’t leave the unit uncharged for the long time. The battery could be discharged completely. If you do not use the unit, charge it regularly every 6 months. For further technical and contact information visit www.adash.com, email: info@adash.cz... -
Page 9: General Information
There are 2 signal inputs and 1 tacho/trigger input. Input 2 offers connectivity to a triaxial sensor, therefore all 3 channels can be measured simultaneously. The expert system developed by Adash can automatically detect machine faults such as unbalance, looseness, misalignment and bearing faults. -

(selection of required setting accordingly to the sensor type) Sensitivity[mV/unit] usually 1,10,100, user Unit the unit selected from the list or the user unit Position the angle of the sensor (see picture bellow). Usually used for proximity sensors. For further technical and contact information visit www.adash.com, email: info@adash.cz... -
Page 19: Dc Sensors
The used formula: output value in Unit = (input value in mV - Offset) / Sensitivity. Tacho The speed is measured from the tacho channel. The signal contains one or more pulses per one rotation. The pulses can also trigger the measurement. For further technical and contact information visit www.adash.com, email: info@adash.cz... -
Page 20: Global
The correct reference value has to be set for speed measurement. E.g. when the standard tacho level is 0.5V and the pulses reach the 1.5V, then the value 1V should be correct. The negative pulses are not allowed, you need to use the Adash converter for them. Pulses per rotation This value has to be set for correct speed evaluation, when more pulses are generated during one rotation. -

Adash Limit Values Adash limits are not rewritten from any existing standard. It is a result of more than 20 years of the Adash engineering team's experience. It is difficult to invent a critical value definition which would be simple (which means not many parameters such as speed, power, bearing type, machine type and so on) and reliable. - Page 64 Adash Limit Values of Bearing Vibrations The roller bearing limits are used for acceleration RMS value in 500-25600Hz frequency range. 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 6000 7000 8000 speed [RPM] ----> For further technical and contact information visit www.adash.com, email: info@adash.cz...

Range C: Machines in this range are not acceptable for a long period of operation; they can be operated until the repair time only. Range D: Machines with vibration values in this range should not be operated. There is an acute danger of damage to the machine.

We use the 19200 Hz sampling frequency. But we can measure only 42ms time signal. The time between the pulses is 114 ms. We need to be lucky and to hit the pulse. For further technical and contact information visit www.adash.com, email: info@adash.cz... -
Page 68: The Acmt Method Can Do Even More
The all short-pulses are held and amplitude is modulated for better view. This result is much better, because Y axis scale corresponds with real pulses amplitude, not with speed sine wave amplitude. For further technical and contact information visit www.adash.com, email: info@adash.cz...
