LITHIUM ION BATTERY LIMITED WARRANTY
Lithium ion batteries inevitably lose power during their lifetimes, depending
on usage temperatures and the number of charging cycles. Therefore, the
internal rechargeable batteries used in VIBRO-LASER products are not
included in our general 1-year warranty. There is 6 months warranty for the
battery capacity not to fall below 70 % (a normal change means that the
battery must have more than 70 % capacity after more than 300 charging
cycles). A 1 year warranty applies if the battery becomes unusable because of
a manufacturing fault or factors that VIBRO-LASER could be expected to have
control of, or if the battery displays abnormal loss of capacity in relation to
use.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Follow all the safety and control rules, regulation, procedures, and general
common sense VIBRO-LASER is not responsible whatsoever for any injuries,
loss of production or capacity, or any failure of any kind as a result of the
user/owner not following instructions as set forth in this manual, on product
labels, in their work area, or general industry practices and common sense.
Do take notice of any warning labels on the device and in the operation
manuals.
Lack of the consideration to such warning labels may cause personal injuries
and damage to the equipment.
LASER LIGHT SOURCE HANDLING RULES
VIBRO-LASER system uses laser diodes with 1.0 MW output capacity, which
complies with the Class 2 standards of SS-EN-60825-1-1994. This class is
considered to be safe for operation providing the following precautionary
measures are taken:
strictly follow safety rules during operation;
the device might be used only for its
intended purpose;
do not use the device if it or its parts
are damaged in any way;
do not open laser source blocks;
6
do not look in the laser source when it is working;
do not direct laser beam into other people’s eyes;
All repair or calibration of the laser source may only be completed by
VIBRO-LASER or those authorized by VIBRO-LASER in writing.
CHARGING THE SENSOR
Attention!
It is forbidden to charge the sensor units in an explosion-hazard area!
It is only allowed to use the original power USB cables. Use of any other USB
cables may cause personal injuries and damage to the equipment.
During the charging of S and M sensor units the charge LED indicator will
illuminate.
After the indicator is o, please disconnect the adapter from the sensor units.
Follow your facility/company lock out tag out equipment shutdown rules
Do not use vibro-laser until the equipment to be aligned is veried
100% de-energized
MAINTENANCE
The system should be cleaned with a lint free cotton cloth or cotton buds
dampened with mild soap solution. Detector and laser windows,
however, should be wiped with alcohol swabs or cleaning pad.
Do not use paper tissues as they may
damage the surface of the detector;
Do not use acetone;
To insure proper operation and life
keep your VIBRO-LASER product clean.
It is best practice to clean the system
after use.

INTENDED PURPOSE
VIBRO-LASER shaft alignment systems are a portable high-precision device
designed for alignment control of rotating machines (pumps, electric motors,
reduction units, compressors, etc).

PREPARATION FOR WORK
Fix the sensor unit with the M label to the movable part of the machine, and
then x the S-labeled sensor unit to the stationary. Mounting each sensor for
each side as shown below.
The sensor units should be xed with a shift (see the gure).
Note!
Fix the sensors at a reasonable distance from eachother not beyond 10m
Place the v-bracket vertically on the shaft of the machine being
aligned. Take the loose end of the chain and pull it to remove the
whipping, then x it to the hook. (Fig. A)
Pull the chain tightly via the screw. Try to avoid excessive tightness.
(Fig. B)
If the shaft diameter is too big, use extension chains or replace with
common chains from any hardware store or industrial supplier to
make the chain longer. (Fig. C)
Correct the height of the units by slowly moving them along the bars
until the laser beam points to the center of the receiver of each unit.
Fix the units with the locking screw on the сlamping bar. (You can ne
tune the beams with the dial)
Clamping bars might be xed under units (recommended) as above
them. (Figг. D)

Attention!
M unit laser direction can be adjusted with the adjusting screw at the top
of the unit. Normally, it is not required, but it may be needed if the distance
between units is large.
PRELIMINARY WORKS
Before start of the alignment check for following:
What are the alignment tolerances required?
Are there any thermal compensation requirements?
Are there any size restrictions for measurement system installation?
Are the shafts able to be rotated?
What size shims will be needed?
Before the installation of the measurement system to the machine, check its
base, bolts and preinstalled shims. Check for restrictions (is there enough
space for moving the machine).
After the visual check proceed with the following:
Remove old and rusty shims (if removable);
11
Check socket joint and loosen fasteners;
Check for soft foot;
Check how loose is the machine;
Check for run out of the shaft and the socket joint;
Check for pipe strain;
Check for end clearance between the shafts (axial alignment).
SETTINGS
Mount the sensor units on the shafts.
Turn the S and M units on (the red LED indicator goes on).
Turn the VIBRO-LASER software.
Touch the Icon “Global settings”
