Similarly, the devices can be used as impact detectors, for example, to report collisions. The PCE-VS11 and PCE-VS12 devices measure and monitor vibration in both the time and frequency domain, for this reason they can selectively monitor individual frequency band components.
The supply voltage range is 5 to 26 V. Power consumption is less than 100 mA. Figure 1: Open PCE-VS11 with terminals for power supply / relay output and USB socket During parameter setting the PCE-VS11 obtains its power via the USB cable.
PCE-VS1x". The computer then searches from the entered COM port number and ends with COM50. You can also manually change the COM port. This may be useful if several PCE-VS11/12 are connected to the computer at the same time. The program works with COM port numbers 1 to 50.
4.2.4. Filters and Integrators PCE-VS11/12 can monitor vibration acceleration or vibration velocity. A range of high and low pass filters are available for selection. The widest frequency range is 0.1 Hz to 10 kHz for acceleration, and 2 to 1000 Hz for velocity. The frequency range is ad- justed via a drop-down menu.
The calibration password (“Cal. Password”) only needs to be entered by calibration labs. 4.3. LED Status Indicators The PCE-VS11 signalizes the current status via four green/red LEDs. Whenever the de- vice is ready for operation all LEDs light up. The LEDs have the following configu- ration:...
7. Teach-in Function The PCE-VS11 has a teach-in function for calibrating the alarm limit. A PC is not re- quired for this function. To use the teach-in function the vibration switch has to be mounted onto the object to be measured, which should be in ready-to-monitor oper- ating status.
8.2. Attachment The PCE-VS11/12 devices have robust aluminum casing with an M8 thread pin for at- tachment. The devices should be attached by hand only. Please do not use tools.
