Installation
The sensor supports three installation methods: magnet, glue, M8 stud Installation Precautions:
- The sensor should be installed as close to the bearing as possible, or at other locations that can effectively reflect the vibration of the equipment.
- Different sensor installation methods have different effects on the frequency response curve. See the figure below for details:(The picture is taken from the Internet, if there is any infringement, please contact us)
Note: Mechanical equipment is usually well insulated. If the mechanical equipment is poorly insulated, it will affect the signal detected by the sensor. At this point, the sensor can be insulated from the mechanical equipment by pasting insulating tape or insulating glue before installing the sensor.

Use of Device
5.1. Steps for usage
-
The installation environment is well covered by the ZETA network in advance so that the equipment can enter the network smoothly afterward;
-
Before powering on the device, first add the device to the FM Platform, as shown in the figure:
-
Power on the equipment and wait for the equipment to go online, and at the same time install the equipment to the selected installation point of the rotating machinery to be tested;
-
After the device is online, you need to enable the required functions (default is off), such as bearing, rotor, gear fault detection, etc.;
-
Diagnostic parameter settings. For different mechanical equipment, different parameter information needs to be set according to the conditions of the mechanical equipment. For the setting guidelines, please refer to Chapter 3.3.
-
The sensor needs to be initialized the first time it is used. Please turn on the mechanical equipment and wait for it to warm up. After confirming that the machine is running in a stable state, issue the “start initialization” command through the platform command. The initialization process usually takes 1-3 minutes. After the initialization is successful, you can view it from the uplink data return status
5.2. Setting detection cycle
Through the FM platform, the sensor detection cycle can be set, as shown
below:
Note: The detection cycle is related to the battery life. The more
frequent the detection cycle, the faster the battery consumption and the
shorter the service life.
5.3. Setting diagnostic parameters
Among them, the following parameters need to be set according to the models of
different rotating machinery and equipment1:
- Rotation speed: fill in according to the actual parameters of the mechanical equipment installed, range: 1-6000 rpm
- Inner ring failure frequency coefficient: Query according to the bearing model of mechanical equipment, and fill in the corresponding coefficient value
- Outer ring failure frequency coefficient: Query according to the mechanical equipment bearing model, and fill in the corresponding coefficient value
- Frequency coefficient of rolling element failure: Query according to the bearing model of mechanical equipment, and fill in the corresponding coefficient value
1 The failure coefficient of the inner ring, outer ring, and rolling bar can be queried in the database through the bearing model. If you need help with a database queries, please contact us
Other parameter settings have been set to default values:
- Sampling rate: default value: 25600, unit hz
- Shutdown threshold: default value: 30, unit 0.01
- Low frequency anomaly threshold: Default value: 130, unit 0.01
- High-frequency anomaly threshold: Default value: 120, unit 0.01
- Unbalance threshold 1: Default value: 162, unit 0.01
- Unbalance threshold 2: Default value: 190, unit 0.01
- Looseness threshold: Default value: 400, unit 0.01
- Misalignment fault threshold: default value: 140, unit 0.01
- Gear failure threshold: Default value: 150, unit 0.01
5.4. Query function
Through platform commands, the device parameter setting information can be
queried:
- Query detection cycle
- Query enables switch
- Query detection parameter
- Query software version
5.5. Query device status
Proactively initiate a diagnosis of mechanical equipment through platform
instructions without waiting for the diagnosis cycle.2
2 The query delay is related to the ZETA protocol. If it is in real-time
downlink mode, it can be inquired in real-time. If it is in ACK downlink mode,
it needs to wait for the uplink cycle.
5.6. The power button and status indicator
Power button
- Plugin the battery, the default power is on
- Long press for 5 seconds to turn off the power
- Long press for 3 seconds to turn on the power
Indicator light
- Module registration
- It will be on for 2ms every 2s until the registration is successful and the device enters sleep or long sleep, the light is off.
- When the device is successfully registered
- Every 500ms, it lights for 2ms and lasts for 5s.
- During normal work 2ms on every 1 minute
6. Sensor detection flow chart
7. Common faults and handling
- Ensure ZETA signal coverage
- Ensure that the device is powered on, and the ZETA network device management platform can observe that the ZETA module is online
- Check the battery usage of the device. When the battery is low, replace the battery in time.
