Page 5: Intended Use
Brüel & Kjær Vibro │Instruction VST-100 Safety Instructions Intended Use If devices, sensors and cables are used in a way not described in the relevant user manuals, function and protection may be impaired and serious personal damage, death or serious, irreversible injuries may result. -
Page 6: Recommendations To User
Hot surfaces In line with the user manuals, the devices, sensors and cables can be operated in extensive ambient temperature ranges, whereby they can become hot through self-heating on housing walls and can produce burning. When mounted at external heat or cold sources (e.g. machine parts), devices, sensors and cables can adopt dangerous temperatures, whereby burning, among other things, can occur in the event of contact. -
Page 7: Overview
Overview Overview The VIBROSTORE 100 (VST-100) is a simple to use rugged vibration monitoring and portable analysis instrument with on-board display of vibration levels. VST-100 automatically performs vibration analysis functions based on machine running speed. This functionality can help diagnose faults such as unbalance, misalignment and looseness. -
Page 8: Batteries
Batteries The VST-100 requires two type AA size batteries, which are replaced by removing the protective rubber boot first and second the battery compartment cover (held in place by multiple screws) as shown in the photographs below: L91 lithium-Ion type AA batteries are recommended. For installing new batteries, please remove all empty batteries first, before installing new or fully charged batteries. -

Page 13: Fitting The Sensor
Brüel & Kjær Vibro │Instruction VST-100 Operation Fitting the sensor VST-100 is supplied with a cable connected sensor (accelerometer) that connects to the BNC connector on VST-100. The nominal sensitivity of the sensor is 100 mV/g. VST-100 can also accept any standard IEPE (CCS) accelerometer and the sensor sensitivity setting can be adjusted to accommodate other sensitivities (see section 3.5.2.3 in this manual). -
Page 14: Taking A Reading
Taking a reading To take a reading, press the center button turn the unit ON. Place the sensor on a rigid part of the machine as close as possible to the desired measurement point (e.g. bearing block) using the magnet mount. Pressing the circle button again takes the reading. -
Page 15: Vibration Readings
Brüel & Kjær Vibro │Instruction VST-100 Operation 3.4.1 Vibration readings WARNING! Through electro-magnetic interferences (acc. to EN 61000-4-3) influences on the measured values may arise. Once a vibration reading has been taken, the display will show three values, as shown in the example screen (see chapter 3.4 Taking a reading). - Page 16 ISO value (mm/s) The ISO value (in mm/s or inch/s) is the large number displayed at the top of the screen. This is the RMS measurement of the calculated peak measurement of the vibration velocity in the frequency band 10Hz (600 RPM) to 1kHz (60,000 RPM) or 2Hz (120 RPM) to 1kHz (60,000 RPM) as specified by the ISO standard .

Page 17: Vibration Analysis (Vibration Bands)
Brüel & Kjær Vibro │Instruction VST-100 Operation Bearing Condition (BDU) Below the displayed ISO value and to the left is the value of bearing noise(high frequency vibration) in Bearing Damage Units (BDU), where 100 BDU corresponds to 1 g RMS vibration measured in the frequency band between 1kHz and 10kHz. - Page 18 N.B. in order to perform a vibration analysis it is important that the running speed of the machine is entered correctly. This can be done with the “Setup Wizard” as described in Section 3.5.1 of this user guide, or by using the strobe attachment (see Section 6.1) Typical but not exclusive for the appearance of following multiples of running speed are:...

Brüel & Kjær Vibro │Instruction VST-100 Operation 3.4.3 Frequency spectrum Pressing the down arrow button once more brings up a display, where the vibration levels are shown as a frequency spectrum plot in the range from 0 to 1 kHz. The heights of the peaks indicate the RMS vibration level (in mm/s or inch/s) at each frequency point in the spectrum. -
Page 20: Configuration Menus
Configuration menus The configuration menu is entered by pressing and holding down the center button for 2 seconds. Moving up and down the menu is achieved by pressing the up and down buttons which causes the menu item to be highlighted. Pressing the circle button will select the highlighted menu item. - Page 21 Brüel & Kjær Vibro │Instruction VST-100 Operation Pressing the center button again brings up the next screen which allows the machine type (motor or pump) to be selected. If a motor is selected the size must also be selected (under or over 300 kW) or if a pump is selected, it must be specified whether it has an integrated or external drive unit.

3.5.2 Manual Setup 3.5.2.1 BDU alarm settings Selecting BDU Alarms allows the alarm levels at which the BDU readings change color to be altered by the user. Normal levels are displayed on a Green background. The BDU threshold values are designated as ALERT (where readings turn Yellow) and DANGER (where readings turn Red). -
Page 23: Device Settings
Brüel & Kjær Vibro │Instruction VST-100 Operation 3.5.2.3 Sensor mV/g Accelerometer sensitivity (in mV/g) can be manually set using the up and down arrow buttons to allow the use of any desired sensor within the range 1mV/g to 1000mV/g. This enables the resolution and range of the VST-100 to be set by the user. - Page 24 The Auto Off Time can be set from 1 minute up to a maximum value of 60 minutes, in increments of 1 minute. The Brightness level can be set anywhere between 1 (least brightness) up to 10 (full brightness). The operating Language can be selected depending on the exact model. Please refer to the product specifications.
