2.2 Mode of functioning
Detector III is a hand-held measuring instrument with data recording function for
offline monitoring of systems and machinery (condition monitoring). For this
purpose, the instrument senses vibrations at pre-determined measuring points
using a detector and works out the RMS values of vibration velocity, acceleration
in vibration and
characterizing machine or component condition. In addition, Detector can measure
