This technical note describes basic installation techniques for accelerometers and other vibration sensors. It will allow qualified field technicians to install vibration sensors in a variety of applications and environments. Some techniques will be general to all installations, whereas others may be specific to a particular application. If additional information is required, please consult the sensor manufacturer.

The process of installation begins with verifying that the proper sensor was selected for the measurement point. Refer to the Wilcoxon Research "Sensor selection guide" for assistance.
