  • Page 18: Calibration

    Calibration The VE-10 should be in the soft case when performing calibration. Also, do not give vibra- tions to the VE-10 especially when calibrating in velocity and displacement. Calibration of Vibration Measurement System 1. Set the sensitivity of the vibration meter to the sensitivity of the vibration pickup in use.
  • Page 19: Sensitivity Check Of Accelerometer

    Calibration Sensitivity Check of Accelerometer 1. Set the sensitivity of the meter to the sensitivity of the accelerometer. 2. Set the measurement range of the vibration meter to measure 10 m/s (rms) for ac- celeration. 3. Press once the power/mode switch. The power indicator lights up. 4.
