General
Safety Precautions
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, personal injury or the device damage:
· Carefully read user’s manual. · Do not place sensor on the objects which exposed to high voltages. These voltages could cause personal injury or death.
· The Analyzer could not be used in potentially explosive environments.
· Take measures to prevent cables and straps become entangled by rotating part of machines at measurement site.
· Do not expose PCE-VM 22 parts to heavy impacts, high humidity and extreme temperature. · Do not try to open the display unit this can damage the system, and your after-sales service warranty will come void
Overview
The PCE-VM 22 Vibration Analyzer (Device, Analyzer) is a compact yet powerful, vibration analyzer designed to measure overall vibration parameters, FFT spectrum analysis of the rotating machinery, immediate evaluation against ISO 10816 standard, condition monitoring by route based measurements and data collection.
