Measuring Ranges
Each display mode on the Excieo meter has four ranges available (excluding
KD1009 Seatpad option which has only one range when the sensitivity is set at
1000mV). Switching between ranges on any mode is achieved by pressing
Soft
Key 2
labelled
RANGE.
It is also possible to change the displayed working units for each display mode
under
Global Settings
from the
Main Menu
.
See
Technical Specification
for a complete list of available ranges for each
display mode and available units of measure.
Vibration Exposure Points
The vibration exposure point system is based on the Health & Safety Executive’s
system where vibration magnitude and exposure time are given in exposure
points rather than ms
-2
.
Partial exposure points can simply be added together manually to produce a
total points exposure for a working day.
The vibration analysis software VibdataPro allows you to merge individual
recordings and automatically calculate total exposure points. It even colour
codes the results for instant recognition of compliance. VibdataPro is
purchased separately.
The exposure points calculated are: -
Partial Points
Points (1hr)
Points (15m)
Calculated exposure points are displayed on the calculation display screen after
a recording has been made. It is possible to recalculate the Partial Points by
changing the exposure time. Please see
Chapter 6
and
Chapter 7
for more
details.
The exposure points are only available for individual HARM or WBV mode
recordings using Metric units (see
Chapter 5,
Real Time Operation
for more
information on instrument modes).
Individual saved recordings of the same mode may be combined using the
Exposure Point Calculator to calculate and display the Total Exposure Points.
See
Exp Point Calc
under the heading

from
