Machine Sentry Fixed
Machine Sentry Fixed MSF-2 is a wireless intelligent tri-axial vibration and temperature sensor used for machine condition monitoring.
Connecting via a Bluetooth® enabled hand held device to the Machine Sentry® software, the sensor can either be permanently mounted or temporarily installed to a machine using the optional magnet attachment.
