You can define and monitor frequency bands of any frequency width in the range from 0.1 Hz to 20 kHz. FAG Detector III can save up to 1600 measuring points and up to 270 time signals. Once a measuring round has been finished, all data recorded are transferred to the Trendline software, where they are evaluated, analyzed and displayed.
Page 8 The result is machine failure and thus unscheduled production downtime. The FAG Detector III is a tool with which you can not only detect but also remedy such conditions easily and efficiently. The easy user interface provides good support during the balancing process.

General 2 General 2.1 About this documentation This documentation describes the functionality of the Detector III and the Trendline software. It explains: · how to create configurations or measuring routes on a computer and transfer these to the Detector; · how to use the device to record measuring data;...
Page 10 In addition to the condition monitoring measurement (subsequently referred to as CM measurement ) the Detector III also masters what is known as operation balancing. During this process the Detector helps you find the optimum position of balancing weights when carrying out the balancing measurement .
Page 11 General Before you start Ferrit modules will reduce electromagnetic fields from the device which could otherwise affect other electronic devices in the vicinity. You will receive three ferromagnetic modules with the RFID-Kit or the RFID-Detector. The ferrit modules have to be fasten to the three sensor cables (cable for the acceleration sensors as well as for the trigger sensor) of the Detector.
