How to Choose the Right Vibration Sensor: Which Type Fits Your Site?

[A] Wired Online Monitoring System

Used for the heart of power plants and oil refineries where momentary stoppage is unacceptable.

• Pros: Highest reliability. Capable of real-time shutdown signals.
• Cons: Costs thousands of dollars per sensor point. Plus, enormous wiring construction costs make it difficult to introduce for general pumps and fans.

[B] Portable Vibrometer (Handy Type)

The most common method where maintenance personnel patrol the site and measure by hand.

• Pros:
  - A single vibrometer can measure multiple points.
  - Selectable from inexpensive simplified diagnostic tools (hundreds of dollars) to high-precision diagnostic tools (thousands of dollars) depending on the purpose.
  
• Cons:
  - Requires labor costs as "people" must move around.
  - Values vary depending on the measurer.
  - Dangerous to measure in high places or near rotating bodies.
  

[C] conanair (Wi-Fi Vibration Sensor)

A new choice that combines "wired analysis capability" and "handy convenience".

• Pros:
  - No wiring work required (Battery & Direct Wi-Fi).
  - Acquires "Raw Waveform Data (FFT)" comparable to wired systems at a handy price.
  - Automatic measurement solves labor shortages.
  
• Cons:
  - Frequent battery replacement required for high-frequency measurements (once every few months to years).
  - Not suitable for real-time shutdown (emergency stop).
  

Sites Where conanair Fits Perfectly

As a result of the diagnosis, conanair demonstrates overwhelming performance especially in sites that meet the following conditions.

• Sites that "Gave up due to high wiring estimates"
  → Start with zero construction cost because it sticks with a magnet and runs on batteries.
• Sites with "Dangerous/High places visited only occasionally"
  → Once installed, you can retrieve data via Wi-Fi from the office.
• Maintenance personnel who want to "Analyze signs of abnormality in detail"
  → While many simple wireless sensors only output "values", conanair captures "raw waveforms", enabling precision diagnosis (FFT analysis).
