NOTES for determining a setpoint (e.g. alarm and/or danger limit) for machine protection monitoring:
1) Metrix Instrument Co. will not be held liable for setpoint determination. 2) Consult machinery manufacturer (OEM) for recommendations. They know their machinery best. 3) As a starting point only, the following is from over 30 years of company eld experience and is offered free from charge.
