Vibration Level - Castle group Excieo GA2005H Operating Manual

Vibration Level

In some environments, high levels of vibration may occur. The Excieo meter has
therefore been designed with 4 ranges for all of the following modes of
operation: -
Hand Arm Vibration (HARM)
Whole Body Vibration (WBV)
Single Axis Vibration (SINGLE)
Custom Mode Vibration (CUSTOM)
Before you record measurements take the time to ensure you have selected the
optimum range for the process being recorded and if using Single Axis or
Custom Mode ensure that you have selected the correct parameters.
The optimum range is generally the lowest range that can be selected that does
not produce an overload condition for the process being monitored.
Where high levels of vibration are encountered the meter may register an
overload and in these circumstances the meter will display that this has
occurred. In such cases you will need to select a higher range to accommodate
the higher peak levels.
If the vibration levels are too low for the range selected then the meter will
display an under range condition. Under these circumstances you will need to
select a lower range.
For more detailed information see Under Range & Overload Conditions and
Range Selection.
