The vb and SCOUT series are compatible with powerful software

solutions—System 1™ Evolution and Ascent™.

System 1 Evolution:

• Multiple communication methods between the data

collector and software: USB cable, Ethernet cable, File mode

(e.g. via email), Remote Comms (e.g. over WAN).

• Run up to three different CM databases simultaneously on

a server from remote clients

• Route enabled—build routes for efficient data collection

and send to the instrument

• Bearing Database with over 30.000 bearings

• Obit and waterfall plots

• Comprehensive Diagnostic Reports to explain your analysis

and recommendations, or use Plot Records to track internally

• Statistical alarm creation and adjustment

• User Machine Templates to streamline the creation and

updating of multiple similar machines. Includes points,

bearings, measurements, alarm bands, setpoints etc.

• Quick Config to help with those difficult decisions when

setting up a new database – what measurements to take,

what alarm bands to check, what initial setpoints to apply

Based on a design with a proven track record of quality and

innovation, the vb and SCOUT series data collectors, analyzers

and balancers have been engineered from the ground up to offer

leading-edge reliability, accuracy and usability.

The vb and SCOUT platforms bring industry-leading Bently

Nevada condition monitoring expertise to the world of portable

data collection and analysis, giving you access to a dependable,

efficient, and cost-effective condition monitoring solution that is

deployable across your entire plant.

Easy and efficient up to four-channel capability

The SCOUT100-EX and SCOUT140-EX analyzers offer the power

and convenience of dual- or four-channel measurement

and dual-plane balancing. The balancing function enables

quick diagnosis and correction of dynamic unbalance,

the most common form of unbalance. vb and SCOUT’s

combination of accuracy, intuitive operation, ease of use

and outstanding storage capacity enables our analyzers to

deliver a premium return on investment.
