7 Tips to Get the Most from Your VIBar System
1. Start with a prioritized asset list
Identify 3–5 critical “bad actors” (Tier 1) to monitor first so you capture quick ROI and avoid data overload.
2. Establish baselines before setting thresholds
Collect 1–2 weeks of operating data under known-good conditions and use that to set warning/critical limits rather than relying on generic values.
3. Mount sensors correctly
Mount on bearing housings or rigid points, use proper surface prep and mounting hardware (stud or adhesive per manufacturer) to ensure accurate readings.
4. Use Smart/edge filtering
Enable on-sensor processing (Smart Mode) to send alerts only on anomalies—this preserves battery life and reduces false positives.
5. Configure actionable alerts
Set multi-level alerts (notice/warning/critical), include context (machine, location, RPM), and route them to the right person or CMMS to ensure timely, prioritized response.
