The MAC800-IS contains no user serviceable parts. In the unlikely case of malfunction, please return the complete unit to Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies for repair. N.B. removal of any of the case screws (other than those securing the battery compartment cover) will invalidate the unit’s intrinsic safety certification.
2.2 Taking a reading Taking a reading displays overall vibration numbers for a view of the machine’s condition. Press the POWER button to turn the unit on. Place the sensor on a rigid part of the machine as close as possible to the desired measurement point (bearing block) using the magnet mount.

One (1) g of high frequency vibration (100 BDU) corresponds to a high level of bearing noise and can be considered indicative of a damaged bearing. Think of bearing noise as being roughly equivalent to percentage of bearing wear. Default alarm settings (can be changed in Manual Setup menu) •...
2.2.3 Frequency spectrum Press the down arrow button to display vibration levels as a frequency spectrum from 0 to 1 kHz. The heights of the peaks indicate RMS vibration level (mm/s or inch/s) at each frequency point in the spectrum. The readings to the right of show the frequency (Hz or RPM) and the RMS vibration level (inch/s or mm/s) at the position of the cursor (red dotted line).

Unless a machine is bolted to a concrete floor, its mounting should be considered flexible. Most motors and pumps are mounted on some kind of frame or structure and should be considered flexibly mounted. 2.3.2 Manual setup ISO alarm setting Sets the alarm levels at which the ISO readings change color to be altered.
Factory Reset A factory reset modifies any changed settings back to the default settings the meter shipped with in either Metric or Imperial units. Graph mode Displays the frequency spectrum as either a line graph or a bar graph. Color scheme The display can be configured as standard (full color), White on black, or Black on white.
