COMMISSION OF VIBRATION METER

4.1. Operation conditions of vibration meter

• environmental temperature, °С - from 0 to +50• relative humidity at 25 °С: to 95%

4.2. Setting-up procedures

4.2.1. and exterior check of fixtureTo unpack the fixture you just need to draw it out of the packing cartoon. Before starting the measurements it is necessary to make exterior check of the fixture on absence of mechanical damages and contaminations.To check the delivery set of the fixture according to division 3.3. «Structure of vibration meter». In the presence of contaminations it is necessary to make technical service according to division 5 of the present OM.

ATTENTION

In the presence of any mechanical damages please make sure that they do not influence on fixture reading, otherwise send the fixture for repair.

4.2.2. Sensor installationVibration meter BALTECH VP-3410 uses an acceleration sensor, which is connected to the electronic fixture with a help of low-noise cable. Sensor installation on the object is done with the help of magnet clamp, shipped with the sensor. The place of installation need to be cleaned and put consistent lubricant for resonance lowering. (Pic. 4-1)

ATTENTION

Before sensor installation it is necessary to remove chip shield.

ATTENTION

Before operation please make sure that the sensor firmly connected to magnet clamp.

NOTE

The vibration meter switches off automatically in a minute without pressing the button of measurement.

NOTE

The choice of frequency range is possible only for measurement of acceleration.

4.3.3. Execution of measurements

To carry out the following measurements: 1. Press and withhold the measurement button during several seconds, after that the vibration meter is ready for measurement;2. Install a sensor on measurement point. Press measurement button and withhold it. Upon that on the screen it will appear the result of measurement.3. Release the measurement button. The measured value will be on the screen, and you can read and record it.4. Press the measurement button for further measurements.

MAINTENANCE SUPPORT OF VIBRATION METER

It is necessary to keep vibration meter VP-3410 clean, not to allow severe contamination. If there any contaminations on the electronic unit, then one should wipe it with wet nap.

5.1. Replacement of batteries

If while operation with the fixture it will appear a message «BAT» and it means that battery supply is very low, it is necessary to replace battery.

For replacement of battery (Pic. 5-1):

Step 1 Open the battery pack;

Step 2Insert the battery type D in accordance with markings of battery polarity;

Step 3 Close the battery pack.
