1 GENERAL PRESENTATION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
We want to congratulate you on your choice and hope that you will be fully satisfied with it. For this
reason, we recommend that you read carefully the present user guide and more specifically the safety
instructions.
Designed to meet industrial requirements for enhancing productivity, FIXTURLASER SMC is a portable
multichannel instrument coming along with a large touchscreen, a 3-axis wireless sensor and numerous
accessories. This innovative all-in-one solution makes vibration analysis available to all users.
FIXTURLASER SMC is available in 2 versions. The FIXTURLASER SMC standard (red rubber) is for
safe area, and the FIXTURLASER SMC-EX (black rubber) for ATEX Zone II area. Always refer to the
product marking to know which version you are using. All functionalities described in this manual are
applicable to both versions.
1.2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The safety instructions delivered with the instrument (printed and on the USB stick) should be carefully
followed and the instrument should always be used within the limits specified here.
Instrument and operator safety is at risk when the instrument is used in conditions that are not
intended by ACOEM.
Dismantling the instrument for an internal operation is forbidden. The only parts for which dismantling is
allowed are the battery hatch, the battery and the hatch providing access to the connectors.
All the spare parts must be provided by ACOEM.

Laser
Laser maintenance: The laser does not need maintenance or adjustment excluding cleaning the glass
with a cotton swab. Always shut off completely the device FIXTURLASER SMC before this operation.
Caution: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Electric connections
All external circuits connected to the instrument must be non-hazardous voltage sources and be energy
limited as explained in sections 6.3 and 9.4 of the IEC61010-1 standard.
Do not exceed maximum input voltage on the A/B/C/D connectors: Maximum input voltage ±24 V DC,
±24 V AC peak.
All external circuits connected to the instrument must carry non-dangerous voltage as defined in
Standard IEC61010-1 (Paragraph 6.6)
Do not exceed maximum input voltage and current intensity for the power supply delivered by the mains
block (see chapter “Mains power block” of the safety instructions).
Use the cables designed for the different types of measurement.
If possible, protect the unused connectors using the plastic caps provided.

1.4
1.3 FIRST POWER UP
The instrument turns on automatically a few seconds after being connected to the mains through the
power supply module. If the battery level is too low, the charge starts and goes on as long as the
instrument is connected to its power supply.
When using a new battery, leave the battery in charge for about 10 hours in order to achieve full charge.
Do not use the instrument prior to 2-3 hours of charge. Usual charging time is about 6 hours when
instrument is switched off.
On-Off
•Power on: Press the On-Off key
•Power off: Press the On-Off key, then message “Shutdown”
Battery charge
•Power off: Press the On-Off key, then message “Shutdown”
•Connect the charger on the main. The instrument is automatically powered on. During the charge,
you can continue to use it. For a faster charge, it is recommended to switch-off the instrument. A full
charge requires about 6 hours.
It is recommended to disconnect the charger from the main when you are not using it.

1.7 WIRELESS SENSOR
FIXTURLASER SMC can be used with a wireless triaxial accelerometer (WLS
Sensor). This chapter described how to use FIXTURLASER SMC with this sensor.
WLS sensor battery
Use the USB cable and charger supplied with the sensor. The connector is protected
by the rubber cap on the top of the sensor. It can also be charged from any USB
interface with power supply (! measurement is not possible if the WLS is connected to
a USB PC port). Charging time is 8 hours with the standard 500 mA charge current.
Notes
•After recharging, the cap must be correctly and fully inserted.
•The sensor should not be used without its cap in wet or polluted environment.
•Opening of the cap should only be done in clean and dry environment.
•If the sensor has been in polluted environment, the cap opening must be done after cleaning and
drying, cap facing down to prevent the intrusion of foreign matter.
•WLS sensor battery replacement must be done by qualified personnel only.
WLS sensor first connection
1. Switch on WLS: press on/off for 2s, until the red LED is on, and wait until the red LED is off and the
blue LED is continuously on. See details below concerning LED indication.
2. On FIXTURLASER SMC from the home screen proceed as follows:
oCheck first if Wi-Fi is enabled in:
Shortcuts > Setting > > Wi-Fi = enabled
oSet FIXTURLASER SMC to work with a WLS sensor:
Shortcuts > Setting > > Accelerometer link = Wireless
oShortcuts > Setting > Wireless sensor:
▪Input WLS serial number (e.g., 10015)
▪Save the settings
▪Wait for about 30 s until the blue LED is flashing. Then 20 s later, the connection
must be set up. It can be seen when there is in the status summary or from the
status panel where you can see the sensor identification (e.g., WLS_10015). It can
also be checked from Wireless sensor setting with the Test function.
If Wi-Fi is enabled further connections are automatic after switch on of the instrument and the WLS
sensor.
Note: It is not possible to connect an instrument with a WLS sensor already connected to another
instrument.

1.11
WLS sensor switch off
Press on/off for 6s until the red LED flashes on. The sensor is also automatically switched off if there is
no connectivity during 10 min.

1.8 CONNECTION WITH PC
FIXTURLASER SMC can exchange data with the PC when the Communication module is run from
the home screen. See below the different settings according to the type of communication. Once the
communication is established the instrument is seen as an external drive from the PC (see § 6.1).
Using USB (Connector H)
No settings are required, the PC automatically detects the instrument after its connection.
Using USB memory (Connector G)
It is possible to use a USB memory stick connected on port G to exchange the following data:
•Firmware update: see § 2.11
•Issue balancing reports: see § 4.13
•Issue diagnostic reports: see § 3.7
•Copy screenshots taken with the device: see § 1.10
Note: USB memory stick format must be FAT32, NTFS format is not accepted. It is always possible to
reformat it to FAT32.
Using Ethernet (Connector D or F)
•Direct connection PC- FIXTURLASER SMC setting:
