Turn the Instrument On 

 

Press either the Select or Browse button to turn 
the instrument on. 

¾

 

The instrument automatically turns 

off after 2 minutes of inactivity, or 
you may press and hold the Select 
and Browse buttons simultaneously 
to immediately turn off the 
instrument. 

The title screen briefly displays, then the 
measurement screen displays in RUN mode. 

 

In RUN mode, vibration measurements are 
continuously repeated, and results update 
continuously. 

Place the Sensor Tip against the Machine 

 

Press the pen’s sensor tip against your 
measurement POINT on the machine. 

¾

 

For optimal sensor placement, 

reference the 

Sensor Placement
