1)Attaching Meter Body with the Sensing head a. Connect ( Screw ) the " Sensing Head " ( 3-7, Fig. 1 to the bottom of the " Vibration Sensor " ( 3-6, Fig. 1 ). b. Hold the meter's body by hand loosely. Touch the front pin of the " Sensing head " to the area that you intend to measure the vibration value. For best results: The Meter body should be perpendicular with the measurement surface area. Measurement area 6

a. If the measuring surface is a ferrous material, you may consider using the " Magnetic base " ( 3-8, Fig. 1 ) on the " Measurement area ", screw the " Magnetic base " ( 3-8, Fig. 1 ) to the bottom of " Vibration sensor " ( 3-6, Fig. 1 ). For best results: The Meter body should be perpendicular with the measurement surface area. Magnetic base Measurement area 7

Button " ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) once the measurement Function will be present in sequence. Measurement Metric unit Imperial unit Acceleration , g Velocity mm/s, cm/s inch/s The Display will show the indicator : ACC ACC : Acceleration ACC g VEL : Velocity ACC VEL mm/s VEL cm/s VEL inch/s 4)Power ON : Power on the meter by pressing the " Power Button " ( 3-2, Fig. 1 ) once, the LCD Display ( 3-1, Fig. 1 ) will light up, the meter is ready for the measurement. 5)Data Hold : During the measurement, push the "Hold button" ( 3-3, Fig. 1 ) to hold the measured value, the LCD will indicate the " HOLD " symbol. Push the " Data hold button " again to release the data hold function and the " HOLD " symbol will be removed. 8

1)Open the " Battery Cover " ( 3-5. Fig. 1 ). Use one finger to press the " Battery holder " to the battery snap can contact the batteries completely. 2)Power on the meter by pressing the " Power Button " ( 3-2, Fig. 1 ) once. 3)There is an " Zero Adjust VR " near the battery compartment,. Use the crew driver to adjust the " Zero VR " until the Display show zero value ( not show the minus symbol ), refer Fig, 2 Fig. 2 Zero adjust VR 9

1)When the LCD display shows It is necessary to replace the battery. However, some measurements may still be made for several hours after Low Battery Indicator first appears, before the instrument can become less accurate. 2)To replace the battery, rotate and remove the " Battery Cover " ( 3-5, Fig. 1 ), take out the old batteries, install new batteries, watching polarity. DC 1.5V alkaline battery (UM-4/AAA) x 4 PCs. 7. CARRYING CASE ( included ) Soft carrying Size : 200 x 80 x 50 mm. case CA-52A 10

For the valuation of machines and equipment in the ISO 2372 and VDI 2056, four different kinds of machine groups with four classification ranges and their limits for vibration severity ( mm/s ) are determined. The classifications for each machine group are specified as follows : Small machines, especially production electrical motors of up to 15 KW ( Group K ) Good 0 to 0.71 mm/s Acceptable 0.72 to 1.80 mm/s Still permissible 1.81 to 4.5 mm/s Dangerous > 4.5 mm/s Medium sized machines, especially electrical motors with 15 up to 75 KW output, without special foundations ( Group M ) Good 0 to 1.12 mm/s Acceptable 1.13 to 2.80 mm/s Still permissible 2.81 to 7.1 mm/s Dangerous > 7.1 mm/s 11

Good 0 to 1.80 mm/s Acceptable 1.81 to 4.50 mm/s Still permissible 4.51 to 11.2 mm/s Dangerous > 11.2 mm/s Largest machines and turbo machines with a special foundations ( Group T ). Good 0 to 2.80 mm/s Acceptable 2.81 to 7.10 mm/s Still permissible 7.11 to 18.0 mm/s Dangerous > 18 mm/s 9.
