Fluke Vibration Testers are designed specifically for maintenance professionals who need to troubleshoot mechanical problems and quickly understand the root cause of equipment condition.
2. Types of Vibration Testing
Simple vibration screening: Overall vibration/bearing measurements
• Use vibration screening tools to make quick “go” or “no go” decisions by
checking the value against a pre-set alarm level, comparing it to ISO Standards
(ISO 10816) and trending the results over time.

8. Fluke 805 redefines vibration screening
• Performs in low frequency range to measure overall vibration
and in high frequency range to identify bearing faults.
• Assesses severity on a four-level scale for both overall vibration
and bearings.
• Uses the new and innovative Crest Factor Plus algorithm.

9. What is Crest Factor +?
• A proprietary, weighted calculation involving several waveform
parameters, such as the Crest Factor, the Peak value, and the
RMS value algorithm used to identify bearing faults.

11. How to use the 805
• Supports an optional external sensor
• Any standard ICP type, (100 mV/g) single channel accelerometer
• If external sensor is connected, the users will be able to measure only overall
vibration (no CF+ and temperature measurement)
11
12. How to use the 805
• The meter has an audio
connector for headphones –
useful for detection of
unusual machine sounds.
• Press and hold the measure
button to listen with sensor
tip pressed against bearing.

13. Benefits of Trending with Vibration Meter
• Export measurements to Excel template on PC to
trend overall vibration, CF+, and IR temperature.
• Looking at the number alone for the overall
vibration or bearing condition might not be of
much benefit
• What is normal or what indicates a problem?
• 805 users can use the severity assessment and
trending functionality to overcome this obstacle.

14. Benefits of Trending with Vibration Meter
• After operator rounds, trend with preconfigured Excel plot graphs and compare
to ISO Standards (10616-1, -3 and -7).
• If there is an abnormality, it can be identified by using the trend charts.
• The user can now see a clear picture of the changing bearing condition and
deteriorating health of the machine

15. Compare 805 and 810
Vibration Meter
Front line mechanical maintenance teams need:
• A quick screening tool to fit into existing rounds
• Reliable / repeatable measurements of rotating equipment to
make imperative go/no-go maintenance decisions
• Ability to trend readings over time and notify a consultant or
reliability engineer when something abnormal arises
• Quick understanding of overall machine and bearing condition,
to decide on repairs and repair equipment
Vibration Tester
Maintenance troubleshooters need:
• Quick answers on specific machine condition fault/severity
• Extensive setup, trending, analysis, and onsite expert not
needed to get machine condition answers
• Ability to trend machine fault severity over time to help decide
when to generate a work order for repair
• Majority of rotating machines are basic enough for the vibration
tester to be the perfect choice
16. Forget the Pen… Think METER
Fluke 805 is the most reliable and the user
intuitive vibration screening device for
frontline troubleshooting teams.
FOOLPROOF instead of false alarms
REPEATABLE instead of random
EASY instead of confusing

Editor's Notes
<a href="http://www.fluke.com/fluke/inen/home/default.htm" title="Fluke Corporation-India">Fluke</a> redefines mechanical troubleshooting with a revolutionary product: The <a href="http://www.fluke.com/fluke/inen/products/categoryvibration" title="Vibration Testers">Fluke 810</a> is designed specifically for maintenance professionals who need to troubleshoot mechanical problems and quickly understand the root cause of equipment condition.
Vibration screening devices provide quick feedback of equipment condition A single number for overall vibration to understand whether there is a problem, instead of analyzing vibration in-depth with a spectrum.If the machine vibration or noise is higher, this value will increase.
Crest Factor:1 to 5 Good ( One Bar )6 to 10 Satisfactory ( Two Bars )11 to 15 Unsatisfactory ( Three Bars)16 & above Unacceptable (Four Bars )
Crest Factor is defined as ratio of peak value/RMS value of a time domain vibration signal.Key limitation - it does not increase linearly as the bearing degradesVery difficult to determine the severity of mechanical issues.Crest Factor can actually decrease as a bearing nears catastrophic failure due to large RMS values.CF+ values range from 1 to 16. As bearing condition worsens, CF+ value increasesEnsuring the user is easily able to recognize the severity of the problem. To make things even simpler, Fluke has also included a four-level severity scale that identifies the bearing health as Good, Satisfactory, Unsatisfactory or Unacceptable.
For the severity scale, you must set the Meter to recognize the type of machine, or Machine Category, for the test. A list of the most common categories is programmed into the Meter. When the Meter is set to a category, it can adjust for the usual vibration levels of different machine types. This gives you the best accuracy in the severity scale.After these parameters are set, the Meter shows the overall vibration and bearing measurements with a severity scale for each measurement. The overall vibration severity scales use a statistical analysis of data from thousands of industrial machines. Keep in mind when you use the severity scales:• The severity scales are only applicable to machines at speeds from 600 RPM to 10,000 RPM.Make measurements with the accelerometer as close as possible to the bearing housing.• The severity scales are not applicable if the machine is installed on spring or pad isolators.• Severity scales for motors match the machine that they operate. For example, when you do a test on a motor that operates a centrifugal pump, select the applicable centrifugal pump Machine Category for all test points on the motor and pump.• Gearbox severity scales are applicable only for single stage, rolling element bearing gearboxes.
The 805 supports an optional external sensor.Any standard ICP type single channel accelerometer connected via a Subminiature version B connection should work.Make sure that the sensor is securely mounted on the machine.CF+ and temperature measurements will not be collected, just overall vibration.
