  True left- and right-handed operation 
  Triax Enabled 
  Multi-channel on route recordings 
  1GB memory - virtually unlimited spectra and waveform storage 
  10 hour battery life 
  Lightweight, rugged IP65 rated case 
  DC coupled sensor support 
  12,800 lines of resolution 
  40 kHz Fmax 

  CSA Class 1, Division 2 Hazardous Locations certification 
 USB host port for data transfer to external USB memory 
The SCOUT140 analyzer offers the power and convenience of four-channel
measurement and dual-plane balancing. Its balancing functions enable the
quick diagnosis and correction of dynamic unbalance, the most common form of
unbalance. The SCOUT140 instrument's combination of accuracy, intuitive
operation, ease of use and outstanding storage capacity ensures the
SCOUT140 analyzer delivers a premium return on investment.
The SCOUT140 instrument includes Ascent** software in the purchase price.
Ascent enables you to program the instrument with thousands of separate machine
definitions covering a number of route choices. A library of over 300 customizable
parameter sets is also available enabling a vast array of measurement options.

Ascent Level 2 Software

  Route enabled - build routes in Ascent software and send to the instrument 
  CBDb - Bearing Database with over 30,000 bearings 
  Orbit and Bode plots 
  Waveform analysis tools - perfect for the power user 
  User-designable SQL/HTML reports - unlimited reporting flexibility 
  Statistical alarm creation and adjustment 
 Fully automated measurement parameter and alarm setup based on
®
“The Proven Method” from Technical Associates 
