Always mount Q45VA / VAC so that the x-axis (reference label on side of sensor) is parallel to the main centerline of the asset. The
front of the Q45VA / VAC can face either direction as long as x-axis is parallel. Verify the z-axis is perpendicular (reference label on
side of sensor) with the radius of the of the asset main shaft.

There are four recommended ways to mount the Q45VA / VAC to the monitored asset:
•
Install the Q45VA Sensor Node Directly to the Asset
•
Install the Q45VA Sensor Node Using Bracket Assembly BWA-Q45VA-FESS
on page 1
•
Install the Q45VA Sensor Node Using Magnetic Mount Bracket BWA-Q45VA-CMSS
•
Install the Q45 Using the Disc from BWA-Q45VA-FESS and Magnetic Mount Bracket BWA-Q45VA-CMSS
on page 5
Install the Q45VA Sensor Node Directly to the Asset
Follow these instructions to mount the Q45VA Sensor Node directly to the asset you are monitoring. It is important to note that using
this method to mount the sensor may not allow future replacement without damaging the sensor.
1. Clean the bottom surface of the Q45VA Sensor Node.
2. Apply Loctite 330 and 7387 Activator (or similar adhesive) to the base of the Q45 housing.

3. Place the Q45VA on the asset, ensuring the correct alignment as shown in
on page 1.
4. After the Q45VA Sensor Node is aligned, hold for several minutes until the epoxy hardens.
Install the Q45VA Sensor Node Using Bracket Assembly BWA-Q45VA-FESS
Follow these instructions to mount the Q45VA Sensor Node to the monitored asset using the
BWA-Q45VA-FESS
bracket assembly.
The
BWA-Q45VA-FESS
bracket assembly includes:
•
Screw retainers (2)
•
Base plate (1)
