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.
Scanning the QR code
(Requires a tablet, laptop or PC camera):
Select the scan code button: Choose the camera from the list, position the QR label in 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.
Configure and name.
We can organize our devices with the following tools:
- In group we can add the phantom to a previously created group or create a new group.
- In name we can name our device to simplify its identification.
- In description we choose the type of sensor we are using.
- Finally, the Data Send Interval sets the sensor collection interval. The minimum value for data collection is 10 minutes and the maximum is 1,440 minutes (1 day), with the exception of the ATEX-certified Phantom, where the minimum is 1440 minutes.
When finished, select next.

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.
