2. Use probe to measure object according to the selected way and measurement result shall display in data value display area of LCD as shown in the following illustration:
   

2) Velocity measurement:

1. Press key V to enter into velocity measurement mode and LCD screen shall display Vrms; indicators of 10-1kHz and cm/s are as follows:
   

2. Use probe to measure object according to the selected way and measurement result shall display in data value display area of LCD as shown in the following illustration:
   

3) Displacement measurement:

1. Press key D to enter into velocity measurement mode and LCD screen shall display dp-p; indicators of 10-500 Hz and mm are as follows:
   

2. Use probe to measure object according to the selected way and measurement result shall display in data value display area of LCD as shown in the following illustration:
   

4)  Maximum value measurement

Under corresponding measurement mode, press key MAX to enter into maximum value measurement mode, LCD screen shall display indicator of MAX and results of maximum under corresponding measurement mode in the data value display area; press key MAX to cancel maximum value measurement.

5) Reading holds measurement:

Press HOLD key to enter into reading hold measurement mode, LCD screen shall display indicator of HOLD and hold the present measurement value in data value display area on LCD screen.

6) Backlight display:

Press the key  to enter into LCD backlight display mode, and LCD screen shall display indicator , and light up, press key   to exit backlight display.

7) Data storage:

Press key REC to enter into manual data storage mode, LCD screen shall display indicator of DATA and store the present measurement value manually, DATA signal shall disappear after about 0.5 second; press key REC to conduct next position data storage. Press REC for a long time to enter into automatic data storage mode, indicator of DATA on LCD screen shall flicker continuously, and store the present measurement value automatically between the set time intervals (detailed in menu function set). If automatic record count exceeds the maximum record count 1999, it shall exit data storage automatically.

8) Check record data

Press key REND to enter into check record data mode, if no storage data, data value on LCD screen display area display — data record number display area display — and enter into test function after about 0.5 second.

Maintenance

1. Working environment: Vibration meter is precision apparatus required to avoid collision, shock, moisture, strong power, magnetic field, oil and dust.
2. Replace battery and maintenance

• In working, LCD shows symbol , user needs to replace battery timely in reference to illustration in the manual.
• Please draw out battery to avoid battery weeping, which shall cause severe damage to the apparatus if you needn’t use the test apparatus for a long time.
• Don’t dismantle the apparatus or try to make any transformation interiorly.
• Chassis cleaning: alcohol and diluents are erosive to chassis, especially to LCD window

Mechanical Vibration Rating Table (ISO2372)

Notes:

1.  Grade I is small-size electric motor (less than 15 kW electric motor); Grade II is medium-size electric motor (15 kW-75 kW electric motor); Grade III is large original electric motor (hard base) ; grade IV is large original electric motor (plastic base).
2. A, B, C, D is the vibration rating. A is great, B is satisfactory, C is discontent and D is not allowed. The measurement velocity RMS value shall be on the orthogonal intersection direction of shell bearing.

The maximum allowable vibration for electric motor higher than 1 horsepower (NEMA MG1-12.05)

Notes: For AC electric motor, use highest sync rotating speed; for DC electric motor, use the maximum power rotating speed; and for serial and multipurpose electric motor, use working rotating speed.

The maximum allowable vibration for large electric motor (NEMA MG1-20.52)

The above two standard are formulated by National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA)

Preformed winding squirrel-cage induction electric motor

The standard is formulated by American Petroleum Institute.
