VIBROPORT 80. It also refers to critical situations which can result in damage to the VIBROPORT 80 or malfunctions and false measuring results. Instructions The following symbols are used to help you when carrying out actions: This is an action step / instruction directed at you.
When handling the VIBROPORT 80 and its accessories, the live components constitute a potential hazard source. Volta- ges of over 50 V do not occur in the VIBROPORT 80 but only in the power supply module, and are generally categorized as hazardous.
Page 13
VIBROPORT 80. Note! Only use genuine spare parts in the VIBROPORT 80. Note! The VIBROPORT 80 is not designed for long-term use under UV light. Note! Before commissioning, test the local mains voltage check and compare it with the voltage range of the AC-7001 power supply module.
Use a slightly damp cloth for cleaning. Note! The seals of the battery compartment, the SD storage card slot and the housing of the VIBROPORT 80 must be regularly checked to ensure the integrity of the water and dust protec- tion.
The EMC has been tested in accordance with EN 61326:2006, with reduction of the requirement for static elec- tricity (ESD) from 4kV to 2kV (EN 61000-4-2). The VIBROPORT 80 fulfils Class A (industrial sector) for emit- ted interference in accordance with EN55011. Note! Avoid electrostatic discharges in the area of sockets / con- nections (input channels).
Electromagnetic interference can influence the measured values and should be avoided as far as possible. Low Voltage Directive The VIBROPORT 80 fulfils the relevant requirements of Low Voltage Directive 2006 / 95 / EC in accordance with EN 61010:2010. IP protection...

Translation of the Original Operating Instructions VP-80/VP-80 E 9.2.4 Time Signal module Display The Time Signal module is based on a special procedure du- ring measurement. In a first step, a live preview of the existing time signal including offset is displayed. When you have star- ted the measurement the signal display is “frozen”, but the ac- tual measurement continues in the background until you end the measurement.

With component correction 3 - 99 fixed locations can be selected (e.g. fan vanes, equidistant holes on rotor circumference). The test weights are mounted in a fixed location for the trial run. VIBROPORT 80 calculates the correction weights for two (adjacent) component locations. Fixed weight correction With fixed weight correction the weight is preselected.
