Maintenance
Devices of type VC-18xx are generally maintenance-free.
12.1 Cleaning
NOTE!
To clean the VC-18xx device, wipe off the enclosure with a moist cloth and if necessary with a
small amount of a mild cleaning agent. Use of a strong/aggressive cleaning agent may cause
the labels on the enclosure to fade so they will no longer be legible.
Do not introduce any moisture such as water or other liquids into the
device!
If you notice a
red
LED for one of the channels and a
red
LED for "Status," this means that the
connection between the vibration monitor and the sensor is disconnected for that specific channel.
Please check the integrity of the connection cable on both sides, i.e. at the side of the sensor and
at input terminals on the enclosure of the vibration monitor.
If faulty behavior of the device occurs, for example the "OK" LED (System Failure) flashing
red
continuously, we recommend you take a few minutes to run a complete self-test. If the system
failure is still present after a complete self-test, we strongly recommend you contact Brüel & Kjær
Vibro for a check or repair of the device.
Whenever you contact the manufacturer for a repair of the device you are kindly requested to have
the following information at hand:
-
The type number of the vibration monitor: VIBROCONTROL 1850, VIBROCONTROL 1860,
VIBROCONTROL 1870, VC-1801, VC-1803/04.
-
The serial number of the device. It is clearly visible on a label on the device enclosure.
-
The color of the status displays in the Compact Setup software that may be active. Indicators
pointing to a malfunction are normally colored
Red
.
