Important information

These operation instructions are to be read through completely and carefully heeded before

starting the device. Failure to heed or adhere can result in claims on manufacturer’s liability

becoming null and void for damages ensuing there from.
Manual action of any manner on the device – with the exception of proper procedures and those

described in these operation instructions – lead to forfeit of guarantee and exclusion from
liability.

The device is solely intended for the usage as described below. It is particularly not intended for
the direct or indirect protection of persons.

holthausen elektronik GmbH assumes no liability whatsoever as regards suitability for some
specific purpose.

If any question should remain open, please never hesitate to contact us.

1. Generally basical safety-instrucations

Do not use this device as the sole monitoring device in situations where failure of the device can
result in damage to goods or personal injury.

To achieve the desired results, make sure that the device and its technical data are suitable for
use with the device/equipment and parameters which you wish to monitor.
.
The sensor is sensitive to shock. A downfall out lower height to a hard substratum can destroy
the sensor.

The location where the sensor is installed and the method used for installing the sensor have a
decisive impact on the quality of the sensor signal. The sensor may only be installed by
appropriately qualified and instructed staff.

Electrical connections must be made by appropriately skilled staff. Connection errors can lead
to malfunctioning or failure of, or irreparable damage to, the sensor and the electronics.

The ESW®-Mini should not be used on machines with a very energetic high-frequency solid­borne. Through resonance apparitions in the sensor, the device can indicate a much too great
or too small value.

Powerful noise sources for instance inverters, in direct closeness of the sensor, electronics or
cabling, can result in faulty behaving of the apparatus.

Potential differences and balance currents in the mass guidance can result in faulty behaving
too.

The connection cable is resistant against many but not every type of chemicals. A defective
cable can allow chemicals to enter the housing and iireparable damage the electronic, in which
case the device would no longer work. The conditions from the mounting surrounding must be
checked and the cover material from the cable must be proofed, if it resists these requirements.
You can get an overview from the chemical resistance of the cover material from us.

2. Performance specification

2.1. The Problem

Vibrations develop in many technical areas. Often they can be ignored or are even necessary,
but sometimes they are also undesirable or dangerous. Dangerous vibration states can also
develop from initially unnoticeable vibrations or completely unexpectedly.

The causes often lie in mechanical defects or unbalances or in improper use of the machine in
question. The consequences can include a deterioration of product quality, production losses
and safety hazards, and as a minimum increased wear.
Increased automation and, for example, high noise levels often hinder acoustic or visual
monitoring. Early detection, material treatment and protection and damage limitation offer a
significant potential for cost reductions.

2.2. Application Area

The ESW®-Mini is used to protect machines, mechanical equipment and devices and last but
not least the operating staff against the impacts of excessively high vibration stress. It
permanently monitors the level of the vibration and provides a warning if the limit level is
exceeded. The current level of the vibration parameter can also be measured at any time via
the analog output.

The frequency range and the unit of measurement result from the characteristics of the
measured object and the environmental reference. Depending on the measured object occurs
the signal estimation according to the crest value or the effective value of the measurement.

The actual measurement is given out in form of a 4 to 20mA analog-signal that can be
used without any disturbance for longer cable interconnections.

2.3. Foreseeable Misuse

2.4. Special Features

The device does not require special maintenance!

If you send the device to the manufacturer for inspection and checking, please enclose a
detailed description of the fault and provide the name of a contact person whom we can contact
if we have questions.

WARNING!

• Never change the limit level to reduce assumed false alarms.

Clarify the cause of the alarms.

• Manipulation of the switch contacts of the alarm output or dismantling
of the device disable the monitoring function.

• Every modification or change can endanger safety.
