Step 3: Install the Vibration Sensor
Option 1: Stud Mounting
Drill and Tap the Mounting Hole: Create a flat, rigid surface for attaching the sensor.
Clean the Surface: Remove any grease, paint, or debris to ensure proper contact.
Install the Stud: Screw the mounting stud into the hole securely.
Attach the Sensor: Thread the sensor onto the stud, tightening it to the manufacturer’s torque specifications to prevent over-tightening or damage.
Option 2: Adhesive Mounting
Clean the Surface: Prepare both the sensor base and the mounting location for adhesion.
Apply Adhesive: Use high-strength industrial adhesive or epoxy.
Mount the Sensor: Press the sensor firmly onto the surface and hold it in place until the adhesive cures.
Option 3: Magnetic Mounting
For temporary installations or testing:
Attach the Magnetic Base: Place the magnetic base onto a clean, flat metal surface.
Secure the Sensor: Screw or attach the sensor to the magnetic base.

Note: Magnetic mounting may not be suitable for high-frequency or permanent monitoring applications.
