Installing the accelerometers
Contents of this chapter
This chapter describes how to install the accelerometers for vibration
measurement.
Examine the accelerometer mounting location
The accelerometer is a single axis sensor that measures in only one direction, so
determine the best position to mount on the motor. The mounting locations can
differ based on the configuration. For example of mounting locations, see example
1 (page 37) and example 2 (page 38).
You can view the correct locations of the sensor in the ABB Ability™ Smart Sensor
mobile application, after selecting the profile for attaching the motor asset type
as shown in below figures.
