The SCOUT100-Ex and Commtest vb7 Vibration Analyzers are suitable

for every level of vibration analyst – From novice to expert. These

instruments offer the power and convenience of dual-channel

measurement and dualplane balancing. Their balancing functions

enable quick diagnosis and correction of dynamic unbalance.

The SCOUT100-Ex and vb7 instruments combine accuracy,

intuitive operation, ease of use, and outstanding storage

capacity to ensure a premium return on investment.

The SCOUT100-Ex is certified for an ATEX Zone 2 hazardous

rating, whereas the vb7 is rated for CSA Class 1. Division 2.

When you purchase a SCOUT100-Ex or Commtest vb7 Vibration

Analyzers, the powerful, award-winning Ascent software is included.

Ascent Level 2 enables you to program your instrument with

thousands of separate machine definitions, covering a number of route

choices. A library of over 300 customizable parameter sets is also

available, enabling a wide array of measurement options.

So easy to carry

Carry the data acquisition module using a shoulder strap or

a belt clip. Sensors mount onto sensor keepers. Hold the

industrial smartphone or tablet in your hand, on a belt clip,

or on a neck strap. So you can focus on your job and move

safely between machines.

Powerful and connected

Vibration recordings are viewed and stored on the handheld

device. It runs the Android OS, so you can use it like any

smartphone or tablet to take pictures and video, send

text messages, check email, make phone calls, track your

location, create SOS alerts, and run other enterprise apps.

Try doing all that on an old school data collector!

High performance data acquisition

Unlike most products on the market, the intrinsically safe

SCOUT devices retain the same high performance and

long battery life as their non-rated COMMTEST brethren.

Ten hours of continuous use, while supporting up to: 80

kHz Fmax, 12.800 line spectral resolution, 6-Pack super fast

measurements, 4 channel simultaneous sampling, optional

tachometer. And the firmware updates automatically from

the handheld. Amazing!

Portable vibration analyzers

These portable data collector solutions record the vibration

of industrial machines, to monitor their condition and

diagnose their faults. The Series includes “SCOUT” models

for use in hazardous areas (explosive atmospheres) and

“COMMTEST” models for less stressful environments. There

are 2-channel and 4-channel versions of each, to suit your

data acquisition and analysis needs.

Designed in and for the 21st century

These two-part solutions utilize the power and connectivity

of modern industrial smartphones and tablets, paired with

a small form factor, rugged data acquisition module.

This gives the best of both worlds, a fast handheld device

full of accessories and communication options, and a simple

durable interface to sensors on your machines.

Flexible handheld options

Choose from multiple handheld devices to meet your form

factor, screen size, and hazardous rating needs. Update your

handheld at any time, load the System 1 Collector app onto

the new device and get collecting.
