1.0 Introduction
The MachineryMate 800 is a simple to use vibration monitoring and analysis tool that allows easy display of
vibration signals. The MAC800 automatically performs vibration analysis functions based on machine running
speed to help diagnose faults such as unbalance, misalignment and looseness.
The system is designed to enable users to take vibration measurements from machinery assets (pumps,
motors, fans and bearings). The meter displays vibration frequency plots and allows vibration severity and
bearing condition to be monitored.
The MAC800 also has an optional strobe attachment for determining machine speed and optional Bluetooth
connected headphones for listening to bearing noise.
1.2 Batteries
The MAC800 requires two AA size batteries which can be replaced by removing the battery compartment cover
(held in place by six screws).
1.3 Service
The MAC800 contains no user serviceable parts. In the unlikely case of malfunction, please return the
complete unit to Meggitt Sensing Systems.
2.0 Operation
2.1 Fitting the sensor
The MAC800 is supplied with an integral cable connected 780FM-2-J88C sensor that connects to the BNC
connector on the meter. The nominal sensitivity of the sensor is 100 mV/g and this is the meters default setting
for sensor sensitivity.
The MAC800 also accepts standard IEPE (constant current) accelerometer and the sensor sensitivity setting
can be adjusted to accommodate other sensitivities (default setting: 100 mV/g).

Press the down arrow to increase the resolution of the frequency axis from 100 (10 Hz or 600 RPM resolution)
to 800 lines (1.25 Hz or 75 RPM resolution). Increasing the resolution zooms into the frequency spectrum.
Scroll using the arrows to display the full spectrum at the higher resolution.

Run speed
Can be set manually using the up and down arrows.
Sensor mV/g
Accelerometer sensitivity (mV/g) can be manually set using the up and down arrows from
1 - 1000 mV/g. This enables the resolution and range of the meter to be set by the user.

Machines and their measurement points are downloaded from DataMate trending and
asset management software using the supplied USB docking cradle.
The exact list of machines to be downloaded is determined by the user in DataMate.
There will also always be a machine downloaded named off route that contains 10 MPs. This is done to allow
users to save readings for upload to DataMate where they can then be saved to a new or existing machine.
