Operation
6.1
Measurement screen
After turning on the device, the main measurement screen is displayed. The mechanical vibration
is converted by the sensor into an electrical signal which is subsequently evaluated according to
the measurement settings. The result is displayed as the measurement value on the screen and
is continually updated with the current value.
Default measurement settings (first start or after reset of device settings) consists of the RMS
value of vibration velocity in mm/s. When measurement settings are adjusted via the menu, the
changes are applied when the screen is returned to the measurement screen and the changes
are reflected on the display accordingly.
6.2
Preparation
Depending on the application and machine to be measured, the desired measurement settings
need to be set with the menu. These settings include measuring unit, parameter, units and
possibly ISO evaluation or max value.
6.3
Perform measurement
The sensor needs to be attached the desired position to perform a measurement. It can be
mounted either with a stud bolt or the magnet adapter. If the measuring tip is used in conjunction
with the sensor instead of either mounting option, the sensor should be placed as vertical as
possible on the measurement surface in order to receive an accurate result.
The measurement is performed continuously by the device when on the main measurement
screen and no further user input is required.
If the ISO evaluation function is enabled, the current measurement value is color coded with
regards to the selected thresholds. Additionally, the corresponding vibration severity zone at the
bottom of the display flashes periodically which allows for quick identification of the current
vibration severity.
