type accelerometer to provide accurate vibration measurements. Conforming to ISO10816-3/7, MTN/VM220 will display RMS, peak, peak-peak, crest factor and bearing condition on its colour screen. Up to 100 time-stamped readings can be stored to non-volatile memory. The MTN/VM220 is an invaluable trouble-shooting tool for instrumentation engineers familiar with the problems of plant vibration monitoring, providing an instant readout of the condition of bearings and rotating parts. 2. Precautions • Only use the unit as directed in this manual. • Protect the unit from shocks and extremes of temperature, humidity and harsh environments (such as high salt). • Use only a soft clean cloth. Do not use solvents or harsh cleaning agents. • The unit contains no user serviceable parts. Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the unit, as this will invalidate your warranty. • To ensure continued performance, have the unit checked and serviced at regular intervals. 3. Equipment Details Purchase date: Vibration meter serial number: Cable serial number: Sensor serial number: Software version:

Carefully remove the instrument from the transit packaging and ensure all accessories supplied agree with the delivery note. Visually inspect for transit damage.

directly. To avoid hearing damage, use of headphones with an inline volume adjustment is recommended. Ensure the volume is turned down before connecting your headphones. After placing headphones in your ears, gradually turn up the volume until you reach a comfortable listening level. Do not use headphones when it's unsafe to do so - while operating a vehicle, or during any activity or in an environment where your full attention to your surroundings is required. 8. Battery status Normal operation 100% 50% 25% 10% Charging The meter will automatically turn-off after 15 minutes of inactivity (5 minutes if sensor not connected). 9. Charging the unit The supplied multi-voltage charger comes with 4 adaptors and is suitable for use worldwide. Connect the correct adaptor for your region, plug into mains and connect the mini USB to the MTN/VM220. The unit should reach full charge within 4 hours. The battery status icon will indicate charging is in progress (see 6. Display & 8. Battery status). When the battery is level is low, a warning screen (see left) will display for 5 seconds and the unit will power off.

• Once fully charged, briefly press the power button to switch the unit on. 1 2 3 Connect either end of the cable to the unit by rotating the connector to align the key. Once in the correct position, the connector will drop into the socket and the knurl can be tightened to hold the connector in place. Do not overtighten. • Repeat this process to connect the sensor to the other end of the cable. Notes: The connection status icon (see 6. Display) will change accordingly. No connection Cable connected Sensor connected • Attach spike or magnet, if required.

The current mode will be highlighted. Units for each measurement mode can be set (see 16. Setting units) MODE UNITS Acceleration mode g m/s² Velocity mode mm/s in/s Displacement mode µm mils Memory recall mode (see 13. Memory recall mode) Settings (see 14. Settings menu) 12. Calculation modes When the unit is in one of the measurement modes (acceleration, velocity, displacement), press buttons to switch between RMS, peak-peak and 0-peak displays. An additional bearing display is available in both acceleration and velocity measurement modes. The bearing mode passes the vibration signal through a 1kHz-10kHz band-pass filter to attenuate non-bearing vibration found at lower frequencies, and is used for more precise monitoring of bearings. Display Calculation mode RMS Root mean square PK-PK Peak to peak 0-PK Zero to peak B Bearing (RMS) Press to store the displayed value in the current memory slot. The current memory number will automatically move to the next slot. • Current time • Current date • Measurement mode • Calculation mode • Crest factor value • Vibration value & units The Crest Factor is equal to the peak amplitude of a waveform divided by the RMS value. The purpose of the crest factor calculation is to give an analyst a quick idea of how much impacting is occurring in a waveform. Impacting is often associated with roller bearing wear, cavitation and gear tooth wear.

Using buttons , select memory recall mode. Press buttons to navigate through memory slots. When returning to the measurement mode, the selected memory slot will be the current memory slot for the next store. It is possible to quickly clear all memory slots (see 18. Clearing memories). There are 100 memory slots in total. The blue fields shown in the above figure are saved into memory Provided the unit is returned to Monitran for service, the memories will remain intact, even after battery replacement and calibration (see 24. After Sales Support)
