Figure 2: Checkout of SC 300 training class The information provided during this initial set up can
also be used to set up the industrial refrigeration service
provider’s account and create the report dashboard. Sub-

service provider will be added to that service provider’s list
of users.

Setting up the Service Provider's account

• Each industrial refrigeration Advanced Vibration Evalu-
ation service provider will need their list of end users
and customers added to their account with Johnson
Controls Diagnostic Services in order to display their
job reports.
• The Frick Service department can assist with setting up
the list of end users. Contact the Frick Service Depart-
ment at frickservice@jci.com and request the initial
setup Excel spreadsheet for the Frick Advanced Vibra-
tion Evaluation service.
• The setup spreadsheet is also available for download
on the SC 300 Advanced Vibration Evaluation training
page on FrickTraining.com. Fill out this spreadsheet as
thoroughly as possible and email it back to frickser-

2. Align the standoff on the outer edge of the base of the
sensor with the cutout on the surface of the magnet,
so that the base of the sensor sits flush with the top
surface of the magnet.
3. When mounting the sensor to a mounting pad, remove
the standoff from the sensor so that the sensor sits
flush with the mounting pad.
4. To mount the tri-axial accelerometer to a mounting pad
that is pre-installed on the equipment, do not attach
the sensor magnet.
5. The tri-axial accelerometer senses data in three axes.

1. To turn on the WVS-1000 DAQ, press and hold the
power button for 6 s. As it powers up, the WVS-1000
DAQ goes through a boot sequence, which takes ap-
proximately 30 s. The Data Status LED flashes rapidly to
indicate this sequence. The LEDs indicate that power is
on. For more information about the LEDs, see Figure 8
and Table 1.
