VIM6* Vibration Sensors
Installation
3.2
Mounting
Prerequisites
Mounting the vibration sensor on the mounting surface:
•
The mounting surface must be clean and flat, i.e., free of paint, rust, etc.
•
The measuring head surface of the vibration sensor must lie flat on the mounting surface.
•
The vibration sensor is fitted with an M8 screw thread as standard. Insert the screw thread
into a threaded hole in the mounting surface. If the thread in the hole is different, thread
adapters are available as an accessory.
Mounting the Vibration Sensor
For safe and error-free operation, observe the following requirements during mounting:
•
Mount the vibration sensor on the mounting surface correctly to obtain accurate data.
•
Avoid mounting the vibration sensor on auxiliary structures. If it is absolutely necessary to
use auxiliary structures, make sure these are designed to be as rigid as possible.
•
Earth and ground loops are among the most common problems when using measuring
setups with sensitive sensor technology. These loops are caused by unwanted differ-
ences in potential in the circuit between the sensor and the control interface. As a
countermeasure, we recommend our standard grounding concept or, depending on the
application, our alternative grounding concept
•
Make sure that the ground connection is electrically safe.
1.
Screw the vibration sensor into the threaded hole in the mounting surface using a hexagon
wrench (SW 24) at a tightening torque of 8 Nm.
2.
For plug versions: Connect the connection cable and note that the tightening torque of the
connector's M12 union nut must not exceed 0.4 Nm.
