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.



Machine Sentry® Fixed

Semi-continuous monitoring reduces the chance of undetected machine faults progressing into complete failure.
The Machine Sentry Fixed 2 sensor incorporates a 3-channel multiplexed data acquisition system connected to a
tri-axial sensor, providing full 3-axis support.

Flexible installation and efficient collection

The Machine Sentry® MSF-2 sensor can be permanently mounted to a machine or temporarily installed using the optional magnet attachment.

Using a combination of low energy Bluetooth® and classic Bluetooth® protocols, MSF-2 optimises battery life while increasing data transfer speed. It pairs with any Android tablet or smartphone, enabling safe and efficient data collection from up to 25 m away, or over 100 m when used with an
X2000 Gateway.

The replaceable internal battery supports a service life of up to 5 years. Intelligent data compression optimises internal storage, while time waveforms are stored in high-definition raw format for maximum post-processing flexibility.
