3.4. Structure and functioning
of vibration meter

3.4.1. General principles of operation

The vibration meter BALTECH VP-3410 consists of electronic
unit and piezoelectric acceleration sensor (further piezosensor).

Piezosensor is connected to the xture via cable (Pic. 3-1).
The xture case is made of ABS plastic and has one sensor input
for sensor and display, reecting changes and current settings.

3.5. Marking and packing

Marking of xture is made in the form of the nameplate on the

back side of electronic unit. On the nameplate it is indicated the

name of xture, power supply, capacity, article, serial number

and name of manufacturer.

COMMISSION OF VIBRATION METER

4.1. Operation conditions of vibration meter

• environmental temperature, °С - from 0 to +50

• relative humidity at 25 °С: to 95%

4.2. Setting-up procedures

4.2.1. and exterior check of xture

To unpack the xture you just need to draw it out of the

packing cartoon.
Before starting the measurements it is necessary to make

exterior check of the xture on absence of mechanical damages

and contaminations.

To check the delivery set of the xture according to division 3.3.

«Structure of vibration meter».
In the presence of contaminations it is necessary to make
technical service according to division 5 of the present OM.

ATTENTION

In the presence of any mechanical damages please make

sure that they do not inuence on xture reading, otherwise
send the xture for repair.

4.2.2. Sensor installation

Vibration meter BALTECH VP-3410 uses an acceleration sensor,

which is connected to the electronic xture with a help of low-

noise cable.
Sensor installation on the object is done with the help of magnet
clamp, shipped with the sensor.
The place of installation need to be cleaned
and put consistent lubricant for resonance
lowering. (Pic. 4-1)

4.3. Application of vibration meter

Before making measurements make sure that the battery is not
discharged. If it is necessary, change the battery according to
division 5.1.

4.3.1. Measurement mode

Press the button «A•V•S» for the choice of measurement mode
(Pic. 3-2): acceleration, velocity or displacement. Selected
measurement mode is indicated by arrow in the right part of the
screen. (Pic. 4-3).

ATTENTION

Before sensor installation it is necessary to remove chip
shield.

ATTENTION

Before operation please make sure that the sensor rmly

connected to magnet clamp.

NOTE

The vibration meter switches off automatically in a minute
without pressing the button of measurement.

While measuring of acceleration it can be used button of change
for frequency range «HI*Lo» (Pic. 3-2). Selected frequency
range will be indicated by arrow in the left part of the screen.
(Pic. 4-4).

Рiс. 4-4. Indicator of range (HI/Lo*)

4.3.3. Execution of measurements

To carry out the following measurements:

1. Press and withhold the measurement button during
several seconds, after that the vibration meter is ready for
measurement;

2. Install a sensor on measurement point. Press
measurement button and withhold it. Upon that on the
screen it will appear the result of measurement.

3. Release the measurement button. The measured value
will be on the screen, and you can read and record it.

4. Press the measurement button for further measurements.

MAINTENANCE SUPPORT OF VIBRATION
METER

It is necessary to keep vibration meter VP-3410 clean, not to
allow severe contamination. If there any contaminations on the
electronic unit, then one should wipe it with wet nap.

5.1. Replacement of batteries

If while operation with the xture it will appear a message

«BAT» and it means that battery supply is very low, it is
necessary to replace battery.

For replacement of battery (Pic. 5-1):

Step 1 Open the battery pack;

Step 2

Insert the battery type D in accordance with
markings of battery polarity;

Step 3 Close the battery pack.

10

ATTENTION

The sensor must be reliably connected with measured object,
otherwise the results of measurement can be inaccurate.

STORAGE AND TRANSPORT

While transportation the vibration meter must be protected
from heavy shocks and vibrations. If the vibration meter is not
used for a long period of time, it is necessary to remove the

battery in order to prevent outow of liquid from it, which may
result in the xture damage.
