Bently Nevada Machinery Condition Monitoring

323223 Rev. VDescription
The SCOUT100EX Vibration Data Collector, Analyzer andBalancer is a portable hardware monitoring device that
supports dual-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 onsite dynamic balance correction.
The SCOUT100EX is ATEX Zone 2 and IECEx Zone 2 compliant
and safe for hazardous areas. It is both light and rugged. Theneck strap includes an integrated Sensor Keeper that
restrains your sensor while you walk or climb to reach othermachines.
The device includes a complete suite of advanced recording
and analysis capabilities, including 6Pack recordings, coastdown and long time waveform.
The SCOUT100EX offers plenty of storage and long battery life.
The device comes with a five year warranty. It works withSystem 1 software.
The SCOUT100EX Vibration Data Collector, Analyzer andBalancer offers the following features:llllll
lll

Up to two-channel, simultaneous on-route recordingsUnique 6Pack recording system
DC-coupled sensor support
One GB memory plus virtually unlimited spectra andwaveform storage
