What you need

A Treon Industrial Node X.
A Treon Orientation Adapter.
A tap and drill for an M6×1 or M8×1.25 bolt hole, minimum 9 mm (0.35 in) thread depth.
A hex key for the adapter's hex socket.
A 36 mm (1.42 in) spanner and a 34 mm (1.34 in) spanner.
A torque wrench capable of 20 Nm.
Cleaning materials: degreaser or isopropyl alcohol, lint-free wipes.
Personal protective equipment as per site rules.

Safety and preparation

Isolate or switch off the asset, and any equipment close to it, if your site procedures require it.
Choose a flat, smooth area larger than the sensor base, close to the measurement point and away from resonant or loose parts.
Clean the surface thoroughly. Remove paint, rust, oil and debris.
Check that the asset's material is thick enough for the tapped hole.

Step by step

1. Drill the mounting hole

Drill an M6×1 or M8×1.25 hole into the machine surface at the location you have chosen. Consult the machine's manual or its manufacturer if you are unsure where it is safe to drill.

Drill the hole perpendicular (90°) to the surface. The minimum thread depth is 9 mm (0.35 in).

2. Clean the surface

Clean the machine surface thoroughly after drilling.

3. Attach the mounting bolt to the adapter

Fit the mounting bolt to the adapter. Use the M6×1 bolt if you drilled an M6 hole, the M8×1.25 bolt if you drilled an M8 hole.

The mounting bolt fitted to the Treon Orientation Adapter

Put a hex key into the hex socket on the top of the adapter and tighten the bolt.

4. Fit the orientation nut

Slide the orientation adapter onto the orientation nut.

5. Mount the adapter on the asset

Place the assembly on the mounting hole in the asset and tighten firmly with a hex key. Tighten the adapter-to-asset joint to 4 Nm.

6. Install the node on the adapter

Place the Treon Industrial Node X on the mounted adapter and screw the nut onto the node, but do not tighten it yet.

7. Align the axes

Rotate the node to the orientation you want, using the orientation notch in the top window and the safety-screw opening as visual guides.

Then tighten the node-to-adapter joint to approximately 20 Nm. Hold the node still with a 36 mm (1.42 in) spanner on the Node X base while you turn and tighten the adapter with a 34 mm (1.34 in) spanner.

Verify

Confirm the axis alignment marks match the directions you intended.
Run a quick measurement and check the directional sensitivity is what you expect.

The Treon Industrial Node X is now installed.
