aerosols. They could cause damage, fire, or electrical shock.
2.1 Introduction
SKF Microlog Analyzer dBX is a portable condition monitoring system that uses
hybrid, keypad and touchscreen navigation based on a Microsoft Windows operating
system.
The dBX Series Microlog system is used by machinery maintenance personnel who
wish to collect and analyse vibration data from their rotating machinery, to help
reduce maintenance costs and downtime.
Note: If the SKF @ptitude Analyst software is hosted on the cloud, only
TCT.dBX is required on the host computer, along with the end point
connection information to access the @ptitude Analyst Transaction Service.
The Microlog Analyzer dBX data collector is a portable, four channel data acquisition
and storage terminal. It collects machinery vibration, temperature, and other
condition monitoring measurements. Together with visual observations, Microlog
Analyzer dBX allows for detailed machine condition analyses in a harsh industrial
environment.
The Microlog Analyzer dBX, with its preinstalled and licensed modules, performs
tasks required for machinery predictive maintenance. It automatically collects both
dynamic (vibration) and static (process) measurements from almost any source, it
provides easy to use setup screens for quickly capturing data related to specific
applications, such as balancing, etc., and it allows you to configure up to twelve
measurements for automatic data collection at one sensor location.
