Display Functions Display Functions Measurement mode indicator Shows which measurement mode is currently selected. High range/low range indicator When acceleration measurement (m/s ) is selected, this indicator shows whether the vibration frequency is set to "Lo" (10 Hz to 1000 Hz) or "Hi" (1 kHz to 15 kHz). Replace battery mark When this mark is shown, the remaining battery capacity is very low. -
Page 20: Measurement
Measurement Measurement 1. While keeping the MEAS button depressed, hold the vibration detector against the measurement object. Use a pressure of about 500 g to 1 kg. If the MEAS button is pressed while power is off, the unit will require about 10 seconds until measurement is possible. - Page 21 Measurement Note • Vibrations in the range from 10 Hz to 1000 Hz can be measured either with the attachment S or the attachment L (option). • When making acceleration measurements with the "Hi" range setting, do not use the attach- ment L.
