4. MEASURING PROCEDURE
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.

2)Cooperate with the Magnetic base
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.

3)Function Selection
Select the desired function by pressing the " Function
Button " ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) once the measurement
Function will be present in sequence.

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.

5. ZERO ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
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

6. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
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.

8. CLASSIFICATION RANGES
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
Large machines on heavy foundations ( Group G )
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
