Product overview: Fluke 805 Vibration Meter
The Reliable, Repeatable, Accurate Way to Check Bearings and Overall Vibration
Make go or no-go maintenance decisions with confidence. The Fluke 805 Vibration Meter is the most reliable vibration screening device available for frontline mechanical troubleshooting teams that need repeatable, severity-scaled readings of overall vibration and bearing condition.
What Makes the 805 the Best Choice?
- A meter – not a pen – that measures overall vibration as well as specific variables like bearing condition and temperature, to provide a more complete picture
- A combination vibration and force sensor tip that compensates for user variance (force or angle) yielding accurate, repeatable readings
- A four-level severity scale and onboard processor calculate bearing condition and overall vibration using easy-to-understand textual alerts (Good, Satisfactory, Unsatisfactory, Unacceptable)
- Sensor sensitivity can read a wide range of frequencies (10 to 1,000 Hz and 4,000 to 20,000 Hz) covering most machine and component types
- Straight-forward user interface that minimizes the user inputs to RPM range and equipment type
Other useful features:
- Measures overall vibration (10 Hz to 1,000 Hz) for acceleration, velocity, and displacement units of measurement for a wide variety of machines
- Provides Crest Factor+ technology for reliable bearing assessment using direct sensor tip measurements between 4,000 Hz and 20,000 Hz
- Compares vibration levels with ISO-10816 severity scales
- Allows you to view trending in Microsoft® Excel using pre-built templates
- Features colored lighting system (green, red) and on-screen comments to indicate how much pressure needs to be applied to take measurements
- Measures temperature with Spot IR Sensor to increase diagnostic capabilities
- Holds and saves up to 3,500 measurements in on-board memory
- Provides external accelerometer support for hard to reach locations
- Allows you to export data via USB
- Provides audio output for listening to bearing tones directly
- Features built-in flashlight for viewing measurement locations in dark areas
- Provides large high-resolution display for easy navigation and viewing

Rated 4 out of 5 by Andrew from Good technically, average firmware, poor software support Technically it is excellent equipment - useful, accurate, providing sufficient information.
The firmware, however, still needs some improvements.
First of all, I find it at least annoying to attach a type to the whole 1st level ID. Quite often you would like to check whole production lines, or complicated machines with multiple motor types. The current design makes such measures at least annoying.
I also find it annoying, that whenever you modify the name / type of the first level ID, all data within it is lost. Fluke may have put more effort here.
Also when you wish to delete a second level ID, you cannot. You can only delete the whole group. Fluke missed that option too.
Finally there could be some basic software to edit all settings and the database from PC level. It is often annoying to input the whole database through the device.
To sum up, technically it is a good device, but the interface is poor.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Batman from 805 vibration meter so easy About 5 minutes after recieving our new 805 meter we were taking readings.
Not only is it easy to use (by almost anyone) it works extremely well.
It's another Fluke tool/meter that will keep having you find more uses for the longer you use it.
Every maintenace staff should have one.
