Performing Measurement - Fluke VIBCODE VIB 8.660 Manual

Performing measurement

After VIBCODE is inserted in the coded measure-
ment stud, the measuring device recognizes the
measurement location and automatically calls up
the measurement tasks for this location. Measure-
ment either begins automatically or must be start-
ed by pressing a button on the measuring device.
Additional details can be found in the measuring
device documentation.
Attach the VIBCODE sensor
• Open the protective cap of the VIBCODE stud.
• If necessary, remove the protective cap from the
VIBCODE sensor.
• Place the VIBCODE sensor on the VIBCODE
stud.
• Press the VIBCODE sensor lightly and tighten
it clockwise until stop. The sensor is locked by
means of a bayonet connection.
• Check whether the sensor is fixed correctly in
the stud.
• To unplug, turn the sensor counterclockwise
until the lock is released. Do not pull the cable.
Never use the VIBCODE sensor to take a mea-
surement directly from the machine surface. This
sensor must always be locked onto the VIBCODE
stud!
Do not remove the VIBCODE sensor from the VIB-
CODE stud during measurement.
Do not unplug the VIBCODE sensor from the mea-
suring device when the code ring is being read.
Only leave the VIBCODE sensor attached to the
VIBCODE stud for as long as necessary as, other-
wise, the spring tension of the sensor will be too
heavily stressed.
Before mounting the VIBCODE sensor on the
stud, measure the temperature of the stud with
a temperature probe. VIBCODE studs may not
exceed a maximum temperature of 70°C / 158°F
during measurement. If the measurement takes
no longer than five minutes, the temperature may
reach a maximum of 80°C / 176°F.
