It is possible to add a phantom device by entering the sensor code. Select the Manually button. The code window will open, enter the phantom 11-ID phantom code from the sensor QR tag (2-digit sensor model code + 9-digit sensor serial number) and select Ok. The sensor will appear in the added phantom’s section.
(Requires a tablet, laptop or PC camera):
Select the scan code button: Choose the camera from the list, position the QRin front of the camera – place it centered and close so that it is easy to read. The code will be captured automatically and the scan window will close. The Phantom will have been added.
We can organize our devices with the following tools:
When finished, select next.
In the channel assignment window, we can select an analysis point on a machine where to add our phantom device, we can only add one sensor to one point:
In the next window, we have two sections, “axis configuration” and “alarms”.

Next, we have the Phantom alarm configuration window, we select which type of clamp will be connected to each channel for the Phantom, we have available clamps of 50, 100, 250 and 500 Amp.
In addition, here we can set a preset current threshold. If the alarm value is exceeded, the sensor will wake up immediately and send an unscheduled data capture.
It is possible to add a phantom device by entering the sensor code. Select the button manually. The code window will open, enter the phantom 40-ID phantom code from the sensor QR tag (2-digit sensor model code + 9-digit sensor serial number) and select Ok. The sensor will appear in the added phantom’s section.

When finished, click next.
In the channel assignment window, we can select an analysis point on a machine where to add our phantom device, we can add the RPM phantom to a single analysis point or machine.
In the next window, we can set a preset threshold of the internal temperature.
The Phantom Configuration Wizard screen will open in a new window. In this window you will see several options. Click on “Add Phantom”.
It is possible to add a phantom device by entering the sensor code. Select the button manually. The code window will open, enter the phantom 60-ID phantom code from the sensor QR tag (2-digit sensor model code + 9-digit sensor serial number) and select Ok.

The phantom configuration window allows us to organize our sensors for easy identification. Example:
When finished, click next.
In the channel assignment window, we can select an analysis point on a machine where to add our phantom device, we can add the module to a single analysis point, or we can add the module to a single analysis point..
Next is the unit configuration window. Here you will have to define the type and a sensor name. Afterwards, you will have to create your unit according to the sensor connected to the general purpose module.
When creating the unit, define the range of your unit based on the general purpose module (4-20mA and 0-10V).
In addition, here we can set a preset current threshold. If the alarm value is exceeded, the sensor will wake up immediately and send an unscheduled data collection.
To achieve the correct vibration analysis it is crucial to know how the sensor is placed in the machine. The vibration sensor contains a triaxial accelerometer that measures vibration in three axes at the same time. The sensor also has an engraving on its front face that indicates the position of these axes. It is important to define the position of the sensor before its configuration in DigivibeMX®.
The image below shows a Vibration Phantom Sensor placed in a three-phase motor. We can also see that the Z axis is parallel to the motor shaft; the Y axis corresponds to the vertical axis, and the X axis is orthogonal to the other two and corresponds to the horizontal axis of the motor. This means that in DigivibeMX® we should use the following configuration: H for the X axis, V for the Y axis and A for the Z axis.
Another possible configuration would be to place the sensor in a plane transverse to the machine shaft. For this configuration the values to be used should be as follows: H for the Y-axis, V for the X-axis and A for the Z-axis.
