3. METRIS VIBE SENSOR START UP

3.1 ACTIVATING THE METRIS VIBE FROM STORAGE MODE
It is necessary to activate the Metris Vibe sensor from storage mode before installing it on equipment. This is possible with the Metris Vibe mobile App. In the App you have to connect for the first time with the sensor for activation.

When using the gateway router this happens automatically.

The serial number is printed on each sensor starting with Axxxx.

3.2 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
The accuracy of the high frequency response is directly affected by the mounting technique selected. Maximum output will be generated when vibration is acting along the center axis of the vibration sensor (this is particularly important when monitoring bearings and ventilation fans). The vibration sensor is equally effective at detecting vibration in housing and casings. It is important to identify points of vibration where the maximum output signals can be obtained. It is also important to prepare an accurate mounting position for the vibration sensor and if possible, choose a relatively flat area where a spot face of about 36mm can be created.

Procedure:

1. Select a mounting position, in any plane, as close as possible to the vibration source.
2. Prepare a flat, smooth, unpainted surface larger than the base of the Metris Vibe sensor (recommended to use a wired drilling machine, 300-600rpm).
3. Drill a hole with a suitable diameter in the center of the flat area, with 10mm depth.
4. Using a suitable sized tap for the mounting option (M8x1.25) of the sensor, screw the sensor in the hole ensuring that there is at least 7mm of full thread.
5. De-burr the prepared hole and thoroughly clean the surface and the base of the stud with solvent.
6. Apply Loctite Screw lock to the thread on the METRIS VIBE sensor and smear grease on the mating surface to ensure good coupling to the METRIS VIBE sensor.
7. Screw the METRIS VIBE sensor into the threaded hole and tighten to 8Nm torque with a torque wrench WAF30.

**** CAUTION

It is very important to mount the sensor according the installation instruction.
