5.7 Installing additional sensor unit after 
commissioning of the system

VIBCONNECT RF can be extended at any time, and sensor units 
and sensors can be added during operation of the system.

•  Set up the required measuring points in the OMNITREND data-

base (see also “Setting up measuring point database”, page 28).

•  Print the measuring point report of the respective machine train 

(see also “Creating measuring point report”, page 29).

•  Identify a suitable location of installation for the sensor unit 

(see also “Measuring reception field strength at location of 
 installation”, page 38).

•  Mount the sensor unit on the machine.
•  Mount the sensors (see also “Installation of sensors”, page 46). 
•  Establish the electrical connections and commission the sensor 

unit (see also “Connecting sensor unit”, page 41).

•  In the measuring point report, note down the machine on which 

the sensor unit is installed (see also “Mounting sensor unit”, 
page 40). Also note down the channel to which the respective 
measuring points are connected (see also “Connecting sensor 
unit”, page 41).

•  Register the sensor unit in OMNITREND.
•  Assign the respective measuring points set up in the database to 

the sensor unit and the bridge.

•  Adjust the measuring channels according to the measuring 

point report.

•  Set up a measuring configuration for each measuring point.

•  Load the measuring configuration to the bridge (see also “Load-

ing measuring configuration to the bridge”, page 56).

•  Import the measuring data in OMNITREND.
