Once a reading has been taken the display shows three color coded values to indicate alarm status. • ISO value (velocity in inch/s or mm/second) • Bearing noise in BDU (Bearing Damage Units) • Total g (acceleration) ISO value (mm/s) The ISO value (mm/s or inch/s) is the large number displayed at the top of the screen, which is the RMS (average) of the vibration velocity in the frequency band 10 Hz to 1 kHz (600 –...

Displacement Pressing the arrow buttons when the reading screen is displayed will display RMS displacement (mils or µm). Press the arrow buttons again to revert to the ISO value display (mm/s or inch/s). 2.2.2 Vibration analysis Press the down arrow to display the readings of vibration velocity (inch/s or mm/s), or displacement (mm or thou), broken down into each of three bands.
The MAC800 can continuously display readings taken at one second intervals. Select live update from the Configuration menu, by holding down the POWER button for two seconds. It is possible to use live update with the basic readings screen, the VA bands screen or 100 line frequency spectrum.
