rechargeable batteries can be used in the Air2. Do not use non-rechargeable batteries.
3-5. Strap Mou
nt
You can attach a strap to the device.
3-6. Vibration Sensor
Fix the sensor to the area where you want to measure the vibration. For direct measurement, screw the
standard probe in the socket at the tip of the sensor. You may screw the magnet in the socket for
hands-free measurement.
3-7. Socket (M6 Thread)
Air2 standard model has an M6 thread. The probe or the optional magnet that can be secured in position
with an M6 screw.

5. HOW TO INSTALL THE SOFTWARE
Refer to the quick user’s guide for software installation.
6. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
6-1. Activation of the Software and Setting of the Tablet PC (Nexus 7)
(1) T
urn on the tablet PC and get ready to activate WiFi connection.
(2) Press the power button of the Air2 to bring it to standby mode. (LED indicator: Red blinking)
(3) Go to the setting menu of the Android.
(4) Activate WiFi connection.

(5) Select the “Air-II-xxxxxx” listed in the networks as the access point.
(“xx” will be displayed arbitrary in hex notation).
(6) Once
the status of the “Air-II-xxxxxx” is indicated as connected, the connection is successfully done.
At this point, the LED indicator is still red and blinking.
6-2. Measurement Method
Air2 can measure the vibration in 2 modes:
(1) OA Measurement
OA values of vibration data, such as acceleration, velocity, and displacement can be measured
and displayed. This mode is loaded with ISO and bearing criteria for quick diagnosis.
(2) FFT/WV
The waveform data of the specified time can be gained. The waveform and FFT data are
displayed. Since this function accommodates continuous monitoring, real-time FFT analysis is
possible.
See the chapter 6-2-2 and after for more detailed description of each measurement mode.

Touch “Scan” in the lower right corner of the main menu. Turn on the Air2 and make sure the red LED
indicator is blinking.
Active Air2 device number(s)* will appear. Select the device and touch “Connect.”
The selected device number will be indicated as Sensor Type in the top of main menu page.

6-2-2. OA Vibration Measurement
Once the tablet PC is successfully connected to the Air2, touch the “OA Vib. Measure” icon in main menu.
Touching the icon will lead you to the OA vibration measurement page.
Be sure the message, “Ready,” is indicated below the device number in the display. If not, go back to the
main menu and establish the connection.
When the measurement is completed, the values of acceleration (A), velocity (V), displacement (D), and
either E1, E2, or E3 will be shown.
You can also save the results as you specify the information of the measured spot. Refer to the chapter
6-2-4 f
or more details. In addition, quick diagnosis function is available to evaluate the measurement
results based on the ISO standard.
6-2-3. Quick Diagnosis
You can go to the diagnosis menu by touching “Judge” button in the measurement result page.
You will see three evaluation criteria:
1. ISO Evaluation
2. Bearing Evaluation
3. User Evaluation
ISO evaluation is a judgment based on the ISO standard. On the other hand, bearing evaluation is a
judgment based on the envelope acceleration (E3).
And On User Evaluation, you can define the criteria level for each three functions, namely Acceleration,
Velocity and Displacement. How to define is showed in User Judgment Edit page.
Select and touch evaluation method to see the judgment.
