function, it can set the different position ( location ) No.
( position 1 to position 99 ).
* Innovation and easy operation, computer is not need
to setup extra software, after execute datalogger, just
take away the SD card from the meter and plug in the
SD card into the computer, it can down load the all the

7-2 Decimal point of SD card setting
The numerical data structure of SD card is default used
the " . " as the decimal, for example "20.6" "1000.53" .
But in certain countries ( Europe ...) is used the " , " as
the decimal point, for example " 20,6 " "1000,53".
Under such situation, it should change the Decimal
character at first.

1)When the left corner of LCD display show " ", it
no - Not execute the SD memory card format
2)If select the upper to " yES ", press the " Enter Button
" ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) once again, the Display will show text
" yES Enter " to confirm again, if make sure to do the
SD memory card format, then press " Enter Button "
once will format the SD memory clear all the existing
data that already saving into the SD card.
8. POWER SUPPLY from DC
ADAPTER
The meter also can supply the power supply from the
DC 9V Power Adapter ( optional ). Insert the plug of
Power Adapter into " DC 9V Power Adapter Input Socket
" ( 3-11, Fig. 1 ). The meter will permanent power ON
when use the DC ADAPTER power supply ( The power
Button function is disable ).
9. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
is necessary to replace the battery. However, in-spec.
measurement may still be made for several hours after
low battery indicator appears before the instrument
become inaccurate.
2)Loose the screws of the " Battery Cover Screws " ( 3-13,
Fig. 1 ) and take away the " Battery Cover " ( 3-12, Fig. 1 )
from the instrument and remove the battery.
3)Replace with DC 1.5 V battery ( UM3, AA,
Alkaline/heavy duty ) x 6 PCs, and reinstate the cover.
4)Make sure the battery cover is secured after changing
the battery.

10. SYSTEM RESET
If the meter happen the troubles such as :
CPU system is hold ( for example, the key button can
not be operated... ).
Then make the system RESET will fix the problem.
The system RESET procedures will be either following
method :
During the power on, use a pin to press the " Reset
Button " ( 3-10, Fig. 1 ) once a while will reset the
circuit system.
11. RS232 PC SERIAL INTERFACE
The instrument has RS232 PC serial interface via a 3.5
mm terminal ( 3-9, Fig. 1 ).
The data output is a 16 digit stream which can be
utilized for user's specific application.
A RS232 lead with the following connection will be
required to link the instrument with the PC serial port.

Each digit indicates the following status :
D15 Start Word
D14 4
D13 1
D12, D11 Annunciator for Display
= 92 = 97
mm/s = 93 cm/s = 95 inch/s = 98
mm = 94 inch = 96 g = 57
D10 0
D9 Decimal Point(DP), position from right to the
left
0 = No DP, 1= 1 DP, 2 = 2 DP, 3 = 3 DP

12. 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

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
