Question
Answer
The instrument will not power on.
Check condition of batteries and
replace if required.
If batteries are inserted and are of
adequate charge, remove one
battery for approximately 10
seconds and replace.
The Instrument is not responding on
all or individual axis to inputted
vibration levels.
Turn the instrument Off, wait 10
seconds to allow the instrument to
reset and then turn back On.
Check the cable for possible
damage or incorrect attachment
to the transducer or instrument.
The instrument is displaying
unexpected readings in one or more
modes of operation.
Ensure correct Axis coefficients
are entered in the Manual
Calibration screen for the mode of
operation.
Ensure the transducer is fitted
securely to the source of vibration.
Ensure cable is securely fastened.
The overload indicator is permanently
on.
Change to a higher range.
The overload indicator comes on
before 5% over the top of the range is
reached.
The overload indicator will also be
shown if the input amplifier is
saturated. This is possible even if
the displayed vibration reading on
your instrument is below the top of
the selected range because of the
applied frequency weighting filter.
