What does an external vibration sensor do?

The external vibration sensor measures vibration levels from rotating or reciprocating machinery, connecting to the Fluke 805 Vibration Meter to assess bearing health and machine condition without relying on the meter's built-in transducer.

Why is a low-profile 90-degree body useful?

The right-angle design lets you attach the sensor perpendicular to a machine surface, fitting into confined spaces like under motor feet, inside tight cabinets, or against guarded equipment edges where a standard probe cannot reach.

How does the U-shaped magnetic mount save time during measurement?

The magnetic mount lets you quickly clamp the sensor to ferrous machine surfaces without special fixtures or fasteners, speeding up data collection during routine condition monitoring rounds.

What advantage does a coiled cable provide?

The coiled cable extends when needed for extended reach and retracts when not in use, reducing clutter and protecting the cable from kinks or snagging on equipment edges during movement between machines.

Can I use this sensor on machines in production?

Yes, the quick-mount design minimizes downtime. Attach the sensor, collect data, and move to the next machine in seconds—ideal for continuous-run production environments.

Does the external sensor replace the Fluke 805 meter's built-in measurement?

No, the external sensor adds a second measurement point. You can use both the meter's built-in sensor and the 805/ES simultaneously for comparison or higher-resolution trending on critical equipment.

Fluke 805/ES External Vibration Sensor

Name: Fluke 805/ES External Vibration Sensor
Brand: Fluke
SKU: Fluke-805-ES

The Fluke 805/ES is an external vibration sensor designed for the Fluke 805 Vibration Meter. Its low-profile 90-degree body, U-shaped magnetic mount, and coiled cable allow measurements in tight, hard-to-reach, or guarded machine locations without compromising contact pressure.

Overview

The Fluke 805/ES External Vibration Sensor extends the reach of the Fluke 805 Vibration Meter to locations where the onboard sensor tip cannot be reliably applied. Its 90-degree low-profile body fits into confined spaces, behind machine guards, and around enclosures, while the rugged coiled cable and powerful U-shaped magnetic mount maintain firm, consistent contact on flat or curved measurement surfaces.

Key Features

Low-profile 90-degree sensor body for access in restricted or confined machine locations
Rugged coiled cable minimizes dangling and extends to over 2.1 m (7 ft) when needed
Powerful U-shaped magnetic mount for reliable adhesion to flat or curved surfaces
Sealed cable connector with strain relief tail to reduce cable wear at the connection point
Removable sensor magnet for direct attachment to a mounting pad or threaded hole on equipment
SMB connector interfaces directly with the Fluke 805 Vibration Meter heel port

FAQ

Q: Which meter is the Fluke 805/ES compatible with?
A: The 805/ES is designed exclusively for the Fluke 805 Vibration Meter, connecting via the SMB port at the heel of the meter.

Q: Can the magnet be removed for surface-mounted installations?
A: Yes. The sensor magnet is removable, enabling direct attachment to a sensor mounting pad or threaded hole on a piece of equipment.

Q: Why would I use this instead of the built-in sensor tip?
A: The 805/ES is ideal when it is physically difficult or impractical to apply sufficient manual pressure with the onboard sensor, such as when measuring inside enclosures or behind guards.
