Page 69: Sensor Mounting
Operation Before You Measure Sensor Mounting The Tester’s diagnoses are largely dependent upon the quality of vibration signal it receives from the machinery under test. The method used to mount a Sensor to the Stud Mount machine directly affects the quality, accuracy, and range of the signal, see Figure 4-3.
Page 70 Users Manual Stud Mounting The advantages and disadvantages of a temporary mount are as follows. Stud mounting is typical for permanently mounted applications. A hole is tapped into a flat section of the Magnetic Mounting machinery housing and the Sensor’s stud is screwed into The magnetic mount uses either a 2-pole magnet (for the tapped hole.
Page 71: How To Measure Vibration
Best practice is to take vibration measurements when the machine is running in a steady state and at normal operating temperature. Fluke recommends that you make two measurements for each component in the drivetrain (unless the bearings are less than 36 in (1 m) apart). For optimum diagnostic quality, make each measurement at the bearing location when possible.
Page 72 Users Manual Note Select New orientations / locations. The Sensor Placement screen appears. Because the current running speed is so critical for correct diagnosis, it is a best practice to use a Tachometer on VFD motor controllers. Or, refer to the frequency on the motor controller label before you take a measurement.

Appendix C Glossary Acceleration. The rate of change of velocity, often Alignment. A condition where components within a drive depicted as “g’s” or in “mm/s2” in the metric system or train are parallel or perpendicular, according to design “in/sec2” in the English system. Acceleration is not requirements.
Page 144 Cited Peak. An abnormal vibration magnitude/level waveform would represent a plot of amplitude vs. time. If identified (or cited) by the Fluke 810 diagnostic engine. the waveform were transformed to the frequency domain, Cited Peaks are marked with red in the Tester and in the the result would be a spectrum representing a plot of Viewer Software.
Page 145 Glossary Misalignment. In machines, perfect alignment occurs refers the horizontal axis upon which the accelerometer is when the centerline of two coupled shafts coincide. When attached. they do not coincide, misalignment exists. Angular Range (Frequency). Frequency range of data collection. misalignment is when the centerline of the two shafts Hi indicates the High or wide range of frequency within a intersect but are not parallel.
Page 146 Users Manual amplitudes can be closely related to the running speed of VdB (Velocity in Decibels). VdB is a logarithmic scale the machinery. The diagnostic technology in the Tester referencing 0 VdB=10E-8 meter per second. This scale is identifies the mechanical problems depicted in the used for US measurements.
