Two Minute Tips
Motor Overload
Motor overloads occur when motors are drawing too much current. The main issue with excess current is that it creates heat which degrades the insulation surrounding the conductors that creates stator magnetic field.

Using Baseline for Analysis
When you measure on your machine, the results may vary even if no defects are present. That is just normal behavior. This video will discuss how using baselines in analysis can be beneficial in keeping machines healthy.

Accelerometer Maximum Cable Length Calculator
When cables between the power supply and the accelerometer are short, less than 100 feet or 30 meters, circuit capacitance usually has no significant effect on the vibration data signals. Long cables may introduce sufficient capacitance into the sensor circuit to allow vibration signal distortion and produce spurious signals.

Condition Monitoring in Hard-to-Reach and Dangerous Areas
Monitoring motors and motor driven equipment, such as fans and pumps, in hard to reach or remote areas can be extremely challenging. In most cases, traditional condition monitoring methods fall short in these areas.

Why Use 1000Hz-800Hz Lines When You Have a Choice?
Most people use 1000Hz as the standard setting, but nobody asks why. Why not make your life easier by having 1Hz resolution rather than 1.25 or 0.625 Hz? Lines is ALWAYS a selected value but FMax can be user defined or selectable.
