Step 4: Determine asset information
Collect information on the asset (equipment) where you are installing the
Sensor. Including:
• Determine the assets
Assets are the equipment being monitored. For example, Chilled Water
Pump 2A.
• Define an asset group
An asset group is the location (building/plant/floor/production line/room) where
the asset is located. Use asset groups to set the asset hierarchy. For example,
Boiler Room.
• Select the test points
The Test Point is a specific location on the asset. For example, Motor
Bearing 1.
• Record the Sensor ID
The Sensor ID is the last 5 digits of the unique serial number on the Sensor.

within 4 in (10 cm) from the Sensor.
•During the in-app setup, the maximum distance between
the Gateway and the Sensor must be ≤5ft (1.5m).
For step-by-step guide on in-app setup, go to:
Choose 3561 FC Vibration Sensor and download Step by step in-
app setup guide.
Important: Do not begin the physical installation of the Sensors
until the data starts to stream on the graph.

Sensor Installation
Step 9: Confirm the Sensor and Gateway connection
The Bluetooth range between the Gateway and Sensors is 65 m (213 ft) line-of-
sight. However, this range is affected by metal and concrete around the
Sensors and Gateway. Fluke recommends these steps to make sure there is
good connectivity between Sensors and the Gateway.
1. Temporarily place the Sensors on the asset test points. (Do not install
them yet.)
2. In the app, make sure you see the alert: Sensor is now connected.
3. Monitor the the app for several minutes. Look for the alert: Sensor has lost
connection.
οIf you do not receive the alert the position is good.
οIf you receive the alert, reposition the Gateway closer to the Sensor.
Monitor the app again.
4. When the Sensor remains connected for at least 5 minutes without loosing
the connection, use epoxy to install the Sensor.

Step 10: Mount the Sensors
Use the epoxy provided in the package to mount the Sensor on the asset test
point. Refer to the Epoxy Application Instructions for mounting the Sensors.
Mount the Sensor on solid metal of bearing(s) of the machine. Do not mount on
thin covers, motor fins, electrical boxes, couplings, or belts. Refer to the
Deployment Planning Guide on the Quick Start page.
Step 11: Monitor assets remotely
You are now ready to remotely view vibration trends, alerts, and alarms from
your Sensors.
