Applications
VIBROCONTROL 1800 Series of Vibration Monitors are machine protection devices with 4 real-time vibration input
channels, 1 tacho input and 1 process input channel. These vibration monitors are combining protection with condition
monitoring of roller bearing machines, by means of a variety of bearing failure detectors like Envelope, Kurtosis and
Crest factor. VIBRONCONTROL 1800 offers 4-20 mA outputs, danger and alarm relays, a RS-485 and USB port for
communication and time waveform recording of RAW data. Several features support the ISO/EN 13849-1 standard.

Product Specification VIBROCONTROL 1800 Series
Test function:
Can be activated digitally or by PC. As default the
alarm relays activate and DC outputs increase to
the specified test level of 102 %.
Front panel:
5 light diodes indicate channel status (green, yellow,
red) for each of the 4 vibration input channels, as
well as for general system status.
EN
Time waveform recording:
Up to 4 input channels can record digital raw data
(time waveform) simultaneously to a PC running
"Commpact Analyzer". The recording can be done
through:
RS-485/LAN (buffered) Up to 10 kHz
Mini USB (real-time) Up to 10 kHz
Time waveform recording is user activated and contains scalar values for vibration and process input
data at start of recording.

All input channels can be trended and alarms can
be stored when connected to either EtherBridge or
directly to a PC running “Compact Analyzer”.
VIBROCONTROL 1804 EtherBridge RAM can store
trends and time wave-form recordings event or timer
based.
