SPM VibChecker Quick Start

Important information
VibChecker is a handheld instrument for fast and easy measurement
of machine condition in preventive maintenance. It is based on the
recommendations of ISO2372 and ISO10816 standards for broad
band measurements of vibration. These standards make the assump-
tion that limited information, obtained easily and at a low cost, is
often as useful as a detailed analysis using expensive equipment and
elaborate techniques.
- The instrument is intended for professional, industrial process, and
educational use only while taking into consideration the technical
specifications.
- Charge the battery within the charging temperature range (0° to +45
°C) in a dry office environment, otherwise it can become damaged.
- Charge the battery before storing the VibChecker for a longer
period of time (>6 months). The reason for this is that the cells can
not withstand being fully discharged.
- The instrument must be sent to a certified SPM Instrument service
and calibration partner for replacement of a discharged battery.
- When measuring, ensure that no cables etc. can be caught in ro-
tating parts which can cause injury.
- For safety reasons, the instrument must only be operated and
maintained by properly trained personnel.
- Service and repairs of the instrument may only be performed by
SPM Instrument authorized service technicians.
- Never use alcohol or ammonia-based cleaning fluid to clean the
instrument screen.

Class I
Individual parts of machines, integrally connected to the machine
Class II Medium size machines without special supports
Class III Large size machines on rigid supports
Class IV Turbomachines and large machines on flexible supports
Class V Drive systems on stiff foundations with unbalanceable inertia effects
Class VI Drive systems on soft foundations with unbalanceable inertia effects
Part 2 Large land-based steam turbine generator set in excess of 50
MW. Machine speed either 1500/1800 RPM or 3000/3600 RPM.
Part 3 This part treats most of the common industrial machines and is
divided into four groups:
Group 1 Large machines with rated power above 300 kW and not more
than 50 MW; electrical machines with shaft height above 315 mm.
Group 2 Medium machines with rated power above 15 kW up to and
including 300 kW; electrical machines with shaft height from
160 mm to 315 mm.
Group 3 Pumps with multivane impeller with separate driver (centrifugal,
mixed flow or axial flow) with rated power above 15 kW.
Group 4 Pumps with multivane impeller with integrated driver (centrifugal,
mixed flow or axial flow) with rated power above 15 kW.
Part 4 Gas turbine driven sets excluding aircraft derivates with power output
of at least 3 MW. Limit value table depends on RPM of the turbine.
