Installation with Treon Bolt Mount Adapter

Introduction - Treon Bolt Mount Adapter

With the Treon Bolt Mount Adapter, the Treon Industrial Node X is directly attached to the machine surface. This minimizes the vibration transmission route for best measurement quality. Manual alignment of the Industrial Node X is not possible with this installation method.

This installation method requires a flat surface of at least 31.7 mm or 1.25 in diameter, and a hole for an M6×1 or M8×1.25 bolt with at least 9 mm or 0.35 in depth of threading.

Applies to: Treon Industrial Node X
Adapter: Treon Bolt Mount Adapter
Use when: You can tap/drill a mounting hole on a completely flat, smooth surface and manual alignment is not necessary.

Specifications

Requirements

For this installation method you will need:

• Treon Industrial Node X.
• Treon Bolt Mount Adapter.
• Tap/drill M6×1 or M8×1.25 bolt of minimum 9 mm or 0.35 in depth.
• Torque wrench capable of applying 20 Nm.
• Cleaning materials (degreaser/isopropyl alcohol, lint‑free wipes).
• Personal protective equipment (PPE) as per site rules.

Safety & Preparation

1. Isolate an/or turn off the asset and other equipment in close proximity if required by your site procedures.
2. Select a flat, smooth area larger than the sensor base close to the measurement point and away from resonant/loose parts.
3. Clean the surface thoroughly; remove paint, rust, oil, and debris.
4. Verify there is sufficient thickness in the asset’s material for the tapped hole.

Step-by-step installation guide

Step 1: Drill mounting hole

Start with carefully drilling an M6×1 or M8×1.25 hole into the machine surface at the location you have chosen for the measurements. Please consider carefully where you drill the hole. If you are unsure, please consult the manual of the machine or the manufacturer.

Be sure to drill the hole with the correct alignment to the machine. For most uses, an exact angle of 90° to the plane will be the right choice.

The minimum required thread hole depth to drill is 9 mm or 0.35 in.

Step 2: Clean the surface

After drilling, clean the machine surface thoroughly.

Step 3: Attach mounting bolt to adapter

Attach the mounting bolt to the Treon Bolt Adapter by carefully screwing it in with a screwdriver. Choose the M6×1 bolt if you drilled an M6 hole and the M8×1.25 bolt if you drilled an M8 hole.

Step 4: Tighten adapter to node

Place the Treon Bolt Adapter with the attached mounting bolt on the Treon Industrial Node X and carefully screw it in.

Step 5: Attach to machinery

Now screw the Treon Industrial Node X with attached Treon Bolt Adapter into the M6 or M8 hole on the asset’s surface.

Optionally a threadlocker can be used if needed to secure the device in place.

Step 6: Tighten

Now set your torque wrench with a spanner size of 34 mm to a tightness of 20 Nm (Newton metres) and carefully tighten the Treon Industrial Node X to the machine.

Verification

• Confirm axis alignment marks match the intended directions.
• Run a quick measurement and validate expected directional sensitivity.

The Treon Industrial Node X is now fully installed!
