Fluke 805 Vibration Meter
Fluke 805 Handheld Vibration Meter

The Fluke 805 portable vibration meter is a reliable, repeatable, accurate test instrument for
checking bearings and most mechanical vibration problems. 
Quickly and easily determine go or no-go maintenance decisions with confidence.  
The Fluke 805 Vibration Meter is the most reliable vibration screening device available for frontline mechanical
troubleshooter and maintenance departments that need repeatable, severity scaled readings of overall mechanical vibration and bearing condition.


Fluke 805 Features
  • Integral and Innovative sensor design minimizes measurement variations caused by angle or contact
    pressure
  • Consistent data quality across low and high 
    frequency ranges
  • Four-level severity scale assesses urgency of problems for overall vibration and bearing condition 
  • Exportable data via USB 
  • Trending in Microsoft Excel using built-in 
    templates
  • Overall vibration measurement (10 Hz to 1,000 Hz) for acceleration, velocity and displacement units of 
    measurement for a wide variety of machines 
  • Crest Factor+ technology provides reliable bearing
    assessment using direct sensor tip measurements 
    between
    4,000 Hz and 20,000 Hz
  • Colored lighting system (green, red) and on-screen 
    comments indicate how much pressure needs to be 
    applied
    to take measurements
  • Temperature measurement with Spot IR Sensor
    increases diagnostic capabilities
  • On-board memory holds and saves up to 3,500 measurements 
  • Audio output for listening to bearing tones directly
  • External accelerometer support for hard to reach 
    locations
  • Flashlight for viewing measurement locations in 
    dark areas
  • Large screen with high resolution for easy navigation and viewing

What is Crest Factor?
The original Crest Factor is used by vibration analysts 
to identify bearing faults. It is defined as the ratio of  
the peak value/RMS value of a time domain vibration
signal. 
A key limitation of using Crest Factor to identify bearing faults is that the Crest Factor does not
increase linearly as the bearing degrades. In fact, the 
Crest Factor can actually decrease as a bearing nears 
catastrophic failure due to large RMS values.
In order to overcome this limitation, Fluke uses 
a proprietary algorithm known as Crest Factor + 
(CF+). Crest factor+ values range from 1 to 16. As the bearing 
condition worsens, the CF+ value increases. To keep 
things simple, Fluke has also included a four-level 
severity scale that identifies the bearing health as 
Good, Satisfactory, Unsatisfactory or Unacceptable.
Vibraion data exporting and trending with the Fluke 805

The Fuke 805 allows the usre to Export and Trend vibration data in Excel
Trending, or repeated vibration measurements kept in 
a spreadsheet over time, is the best method to track
machine health. With the Fluke 805 you can easily:
  • Export your result to Excel via USB connection
  • Trend the readings with the pre-built Excel 
    templates and plot graphs
  • Compare the overall vibration readings to ISO 
    Standards (10816-1, 10816-3, 10816-7)
Import measurements from the 805 Vibration Meter 
to an Excel template on your PC in order to trend 
the bearing
parameters: overall vibration, CF+, and 
temperature. Looking at just the number alone for the
overall vibration or temperature might not be of much 
benefit to the operator or technician if they don’t
know what the number means. The user may not 
know what is normal or what indicates a problem.
If measurements taken on the operator rounds are 
easily loaded into Excel, then the trend will show 
patterns of something that is becoming abnormal.  
The user can now see a clear picture of the changing 
bearing condition 
and deteriorating health of the
