The 9070 is a simple to use vibration monitoring and analysis tool that
allows easy display of vibration signals. The meter automatically performs vibration analysis functions based on machine running speed to
help diagnose faults such as unbalance, misalignment and looseness.
The system is designed to enable a user to take vibration measurements
from assets (e.g. pumps, motors, fans and bearings). The unit displays
vibration frequency plots and allows vibration severity and bearing
condition to be monitored.
1.1 Control buttons
Turning the meter ON is achieved simply by pressing the power on
(circle) button. The unit automatically turns OFF if not used for 1
minute (this time period can be increased up to 60 minutes using the
Setup Wizard).
1.2 Batteries
The 9070 requires two AA size batteries and these can be replaced by
removing the battery compartment cover (held in place by 6 screws) as
shown in the photographs below. Use a #1 phillips head screwdriver to
loosen and tighten the battery cover screws. Using the incorrect screwdriver will result in damage to the screws.
Care must be taken when the batteries are changed. Make sure the gasket
is properly seated when reinstalling the battery door otherwise the IP67 rating will be compromised.
1.3 Service
The 9070 contains no user serviceable parts. In the unlikely case of
malfunction, please return the complete unit to your supplier for repair.

2.1 Changing the probe tip
Warning: In order to prevent possible damage,
the probe tip should only be tightened using the
machined flats on the probe tip’s mounting plate
and 8mm & 16mm wrenches, as illustrated in the
photo opposite. Do NOT hold or clamp the case of
the Vib Meter when tightening the probe tip or
magnet, as this may cause damage and will invalidate the warranty.
2.2 Taking a reading
To take a reading, briefly press the circle button to turn the unit ON
and then, while holding the tip of the unit against the machine to be
measured, press the circle button again to take the reading.
This causes the overall vibration
numbers screen to be displayed as
shown in the example screenshot on
the left.
This shows an overall view of the
machine’s vibration condition as
explained in the following sections.
2.2.1 Vibration readings
Once a vibration reading has been taken, the display will show three
values, as shown in the screenshot above.
• ISO value (velocity in mm/second or in/sec)
• Bearing Noise in BDU (Bearing Damage Units)
• Total g (acceleration)
According to ISO standards, values will display on a Green background
indicating a new machine condition, Amber background indicating unlimited long term operation allowable, and Red background indicating vibration causes damage. Total g (acceleration) always displays on a Blue
background. These readings are explained in more detail below with
some examples of what they actually mean:

ISO mm/s or in/sec
The ISO value (in mm/s or inch/s) is the large number at the top of the
screen, which is the RMS value of the vibration velocity in the frequency
band 10Hz (600 RPM) to 1kHz (60,000 RPM), as specified
by the ISO standard
1
.
The ISO value background is color coded according to the ISO 10816-1
vibration velocity level chart (see below). The color coded background
will indicate the condition of the machine according to the relevant
vibration levels for the size and type of machine selected with the
Setup Wizard (see section 2.2.1).
