  • Page 7: Product Description

    VIM6* Vibration Sensors Product Description Product Description Use and Application Vibration sensors from the VIM6* product family determine the vibration magnitude using the root mean square (RMS) formation. This form of quadratic average determination or pre-filter- ing allows precise statements to be made about trends relating to the status of the application. Depending on the product versions, the vibration magnitude is determined either as the vibra- tion acceleration (in g rms), as the vibration velocity (in mm/s), or as the vibration velocity and temperature (in °C).
  • Page 8: Vibration Monitoring

    VIM6* Vibration Sensors Product Description Vibration Monitoring 2.2.1 Vibration Velocity Operating Range The operating range of the vibration velocity is not constant over the entire measuring range. It always depends on the current frequency at which the vibration sensor is vibrating. Essentially, the higher the current frequency, the lower the detectable vibration velocity.

    VIM6* Vibration Sensors Installation Installation Instructions for Mechanical and Electrical Installation Note Further installation-relevant information on technical data, mechanical data, and available connection lines for the relevant vibration sensor types can be found in the corresponding datasheet. Always observe the following instructions to ensure safe operation of the vibration sensor: Warning! Work must be performed by trained and qualified personnel only.
  • Page 12 VIM6* Vibration Sensors Installation Caution! Ensure that the data cable and power supply cable are physically separate! To prevent interference, route the cordset for the vibration sensor so that it is a suitable distance away from power supply cables. Shielded cables must be used to ensure reliable data transfer. A perfect ground connection must be ensured.
  • Page 13: Mounting

    VIM6* Vibration Sensors Installation Mounting Prerequisites Mounting the vibration sensor on the mounting surface: • The mounting surface must be clean and flat, i.e., free of paint, rust, etc. • The measuring head surface of the vibration sensor must lie flat on the mounting surface. •...
  • Page 14: Electrical Installation

    VIM6* Vibration Sensors Installation Electrical Installation Note Connection Diagram Earth and ground loops are among the most common problems when using measuring setups with sensitive sensor technology. These loops are caused by unwanted differences in potential in the circuit between the sensor and the control interface. Three different grounding concepts are described below.
