The Snapshot™ IS is intended for periodic manual collection of data as part of a plant asset management program. The instrument offers a single vibration channel plus speed/phase input. Its ATEX Directive II Ga Ex ia IIC T4 (Ta -20°C to +S0°C) , and Directive I Ma Ex ia (Ta 0°C to +S0°C) hazardous area approval permits use in Intrinsically Safe environments without the need for a special "hot work" permit. Snapshot™ IS interfaces with the Bently Nevada's System 1™ software platform. The user configures point and route information in System 1, downloads the configuration to the Snapshot IS, and transfers collected data back to System 1 for display, trending, and storage.
The Snapshot IS data collector uses System 1 host software (refer to System 1 Specifications and Ordering Information, p/n 14S146-01) for permanent storage of all collected data and for system configuration functions.
