Analyzer and Balancer

Datasheet
Bently Nevada Machinery Condition Monitoring 323330 Rev. T

 
 
Description
The SCOUT140EX Vibration Data Collector, Analyzer and
Balancer is a portable hardware monitoring device that
supports four-channel vibration data collection, analysis,
and balancing. Use the device to collect data from sensors on
a route, for machine-side analysis and diagnosis, and on-site
dynamic balance correction.
The SCOUT140EX is ATEX Zone 2 and IECEx Zone 2 compliant
and safe for hazardous areas. It is both light and rugged. The
neck strap includes an integrated Sensor Keeper that
restrains your sensor while you walk or climb to reach other
machines.
The device includes a complete suite of advanced recording
and analysis capabilities, including tri-axial and 6Pack
recordings, coast-down, long time waveform, modal analysis
and cross channel spectrum (ODS).
The SCOUT140EX offers plenty of storage and long battery life.
The device comes with a five year warranty. It works with
System 1 software.
The SCOUT140EX Vibration Data Collector, Analyzer and
Balancer offers the following features:

 l Up to four-channel, simultaneous on-route recordings

 l Simultaneous acquisition, two-plane balancing with up
to four sensors
 l Unique 6Pack recording system
 l DC-coupled sensor support
 l Support for acceleration, velocity, displacement, DC-
coupled, current and voltage output sensors
 l Triax-enabled
