Bently Nevada Machinery Condition Monitoring

323330 Rev. VDescription
The SCOUT140EX Vibration Data Collector, Analyzer andBalancer is a portable hardware monitoring device that
supports four-channel vibration data collection, analysis, andbalancing. Use the device to collect data from sensors on aroute, 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. 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 tri-axial and 6Packrecordings, 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 andBalancer offers the following features:lllllll

Up to four-channel, simultaneous on-route recordings
Simultaneous acquisition, two-plane balancing with up
to four sensors
Unique 6Pack recording system
DC-coupled sensor support
Support for acceleration, velocity, displacement, DCcoupled, current and voltage output sensors
