Safety Instructions; Maintenance And Repair Work - Fluke VIBCODE VIB 8.660 Manual

VIBCODE sensors of series VIB 8.660 are used in
industry to measure the following parameters:
– Vibration acceleration on rotating machines
– Cavitation in pumps
– Shock pulse signals in roller bearings
The VIBCODE sensor is operated together with
a compatible, portable measuring device. For
measurement, the VIBCODE sensor is connected
to a coded VIBCODE stud, which is permanently
installed on the machine.
VIBCODE sensors of series VIB 8.660 HEX are per-
mitted for use in the Ex-zone in accordance with
ATEX guidelines.

Safety instructions

• Read these operating instructions carefully and
keep them in a safe place.
• Observe the operating instructions of the devic-
es to be connected.
• Only use the sensors as intended and only for
the permitted purpose of application.
• Only use original accessories.
• Replace defective sensors and cables.
• Have installation of the VIBCODE studs carried
out by qualified personnel exclusively.
• Comply with the applicable safety regulations
when performing installation tasks on the ma-
chine in operation.
• Observe the technical specifications and permis-
sible operating conditions. If in doubt, contact
PRUFTECHNIK.
• VIBCODE sensors are compliant with the appli-
cable European directives. The complete Decla-
ration of Conformity is available under www.
pruftechnik.com/certificates.
Safety instructions for installation and operation
in the Ex-zone:
• Only VIBCODE sensors of series VIB 8.660 HEX
are permitted to be operated in the Ex-zone.
• Sensors of series VIB 8.660 HEX are only to be
connected to certified intrinsically safe circuits
giving due consideration to the following max-
imum values:
U = 30 V; I = 63 mA; P
i i
C = 347 nF; L = negligibly small.

• The following devices may also be connected
to the VIBCODE VIB 8.660 HEX with their
intrinsically safe analogue output circuits. The
connection must take place via a cable with a
maximum length of 10 m an inductance per
2
= 300 mW;

unit length of L' < 1µH/m and a capacitance per
unit length of C' < 120 pF/m.
