Installation and Maintenance
Pre-installation Preparations:
Before installing the BENTLY 125800-01, verify that the mounting surface is flat, clean, and free of debris to ensure optimal vibration transfer. Use a torque wrench to secure the transducer to the equipment (recommended torque: 11–14 N·m), and ensure the mounting location is representative of the machinery’s vibration characteristics. Route shielded cables away from high-voltage lines to minimize electromagnetic interference, and connect the transducer to the monitoring system using a 2-wire configuration. Calibrate the system with a known vibration source to validate measurement accuracy before commissioning.
