	On the engine 0.5 in/sec rms or 12.5 mm/sec rms. On the generator itself , 0.3 in/sec or 8mm/sec rms is the rule of thumb I use. There are ISO standards for gensets.

	Measure with an accelerometer type of tool. Are you experiencing excessive transmitted vibration? In 'days of Old' i can recall motors tagged "special balance" Good isolation can reduce transmission of 'vibes' to the outside world. __________________ If you always do what you've always done, You'll always get what you've always had!
