Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech 407860 Vibration Meter. The Model 407860 measures vibration levels in industrial machinery. Misalignment, poor balancing, structural compromises, and other factors can cause unwanted vibration increases. The Model 407860 has a frequency sensitivity that meets ISO-2954 and offers Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration features.
PEAK – For measurement of the peak value. Not available in the Displacement mode. MAX_HOLD – Holds and displays the maximum value. The display will update only when a new maximum is measured. Not available in the Displacement mode. 407860-en-GB_v3.0 2/17 GlobalTestSupply www.

Turn the meter on and set the function to ACC and RMS. Make sure the vibration sensor is perfectly still (no vibration). Press and hold the HOLD button for > 5 seconds to allow the display to reach the zero value. 407860-en-GB_v3.0 2/17 GlobalTestSupply www. .com Find Quality Products Online at: sales@GlobalTestSupply.com...
When the display shows the sample rate, release the HOLD and REC buttons. Press and hold the REC button for > 5 seconds. The display will indicate 0 when the memory is clear.

GROUP T – Large Turbo Machinery on Special Foundations Testing Status Vibration Severity (mm/s) Good 0 to 2.80 Acceptable 2.81 to 7.10 Permissible 7.11 to 18.00 Dangerous Greater than 18.00 407860-en-GB_v3.0 2/17 GlobalTestSupply www. .com Find Quality Products Online at: sales@GlobalTestSupply.com...
RMS: Root Mean Square Amplitude (RMS) is the square root of the average of the squared values of a waveform. The RMS amplitude of vibration is 0.707 times the peak amplitude value The RMS value of a vibration signal is an important measure of its amplitude. 407860-en-GB_v3.0 2/17 GlobalTestSupply www.
