Instruction Manual Vibration Switch VS10 Application and Operation The instrument enables simple and cost efficient monitoring of vibration on rotating machines, for example, in the frame of preventative maintenance to DIN/ISO 10816. Likewise, it can be used as a limit switch for a diverse range of processes involving vibration and shock.

Figure 2: Parameter Program To establish a connection to VS10, press Search VS1x. The program searches COM-Ports 1 to 50 for the in- strument. As soon as it has been found the status report VS1x connected appears and the instrument settings are read.
The Teach-in factor, is the factor by which the vibration amplitude currently being measured is multiplied, when by pressing the Teach-in (Figure 2) button, the alarm limit is automatically set. The Teach-in button is accessible without opening the casing, you simply need to remove the screw cap. It is useful for setting the alarm limit when there are no specific values available.
