HS-620/630 User Guide 1. Overview The HS-620 Vibration Meter Kit is a reliable and easy to use hand-held machine condition inspection instrument. It provides vibration measurement, alarm indication and a bearing status check facility. The HS-630 kit provides an additional facility for non-contact temperature measurement.

HS-620/630 User Guide 2.3 Key Functions SEL key - Press SEL to switch-on the meter. In the Overall Vibration mode press SEL to toggle through the measurement parameter options: Table 1 OVERALL VIBRATION MODE Measurement units - specified on order...
HS-620/630 User Guide 2.4 Overall Vibration Measurement & Assessment At switch-on the meter defaults to the Velocity measurement mode, with the units ‘mm/s rms’ indicated at the bottom right of the display. If required, press SEL to select acceleration or displacement. Note that no vibration assessment is available on these ranges.
HS-620/630 User Guide 2.6 Bearing Status Check Fix the sensor directly to the bearing housing as close to the bearing as possible. Note that valid high frequency readings are unlikely to be measured using hand-pressure and the spike. Press the BRG key to enter the Bearing Status mode.
HS-620/630 User Guide 3. The ISO10816-3 Machine Vibration Standard Industrial machines covered by the ISO10816-3 standard include: • Steam Turbines with nominal power less than 50MW • Steam Turbines with nominal power above 50MW with speeds less than 1500rpm or above 3600rpm (i.e.

HS-620/630 User Guide 4. Bearing Status Assessment When the rolling elements move inside a bearing, broadband noise and vibration is generated. This increases if the bearing is not properly lubricated, or is overloaded sue to misalignment or damaged surfaces. The bearing vibration Bg or Bv measured by the meter is the RMS value of all high frequency bearing vibrations between 1kHz and 12kHz.
HS-620/630 User Guide 4.2 BV Values BV measurement is a long established method for detecting bearing faults which gives reliable indication of bearing condition in 80-90% of cases. The rule-of-thumb assessment used in the metre is as follows: • BV < 1mm/s Healthy bearing, correctly greased •...
HS-620/630 User Guide 5.1 Surface Temperature Measurement The temperature sensor measures the average temperature in a circle of diameter one-eight of the distance between the surface and the sensor. For example, when the meter is held 1m from a surface, the sensor will respond to a 125mm spot diameter on the surface.
