Installation with Direct Glue Mounting
Gives the shortest vibration path where there is no room for an adapter. The sensor cannot be removed afterwards, so use this method only when no adapter fits. You need a flat area at least 31.7 mm (1.25 in) across.
Prefer an adapter where there is room for one
Use this method only when an adapter cannot be used. An adapter lets the sensor be detached and attached again later; a sensor glued straight onto the surface cannot be removed that way. Glue the sensor directly only when there isn't enough space for an adapter.
The method needs a completely flat, smooth surface at least 31.7 mm (1.25 in) in diameter.
Use it when the surface is flat and smooth, drilling is not possible, and you need the best vibration performance.

What you need
- A Treon Industrial Node X.
- A clean, flat mounting surface at least 31.7 mm (1.25 in) in diameter.
- Industrial-grade glue or epoxy, such as Loctite 4090 or equivalent.
- Cleaning materials: degreaser or isopropyl alcohol, lint-free wipes.
- Clamps or fixtures to hold the node while the adhesive cures, if useful.
- Personal protective equipment as per site rules.
No torque specification applies to this method, because there is no adapter joint to tighten.
Safety and preparation
- Isolate or switch off the asset, and any equipment close to it, if your site procedures require it.
- Choose a flat, smooth area larger than the sensor base, close to the measurement point and away from resonant or loose parts.
- Clean the surface thoroughly. Remove paint, rust, oil and debris.
Step by step
1. Clean the surface
Clean the machine surface thoroughly.
2. Apply the glue
Choose a suitable glue, such as Loctite HY 4090, and follow its own instructions closely. Apply it to the mounting area on the asset. That area must be at least 31.7 mm (1.25 in) in diameter.
3. Place the node on the asset
Place the Treon Industrial Node X in the orientation you want, on the area where you applied the glue, and hold it there so the bond sets properly.
Verify
- Confirm the axis alignment marks match the directions you intended.
- Run a quick measurement and check the directional sensitivity is what you expect.
The Treon Industrial Node X is now installed.
