Acceleration, Velocity RMS measurement, Metric & Imperial unit PEN VIBRATION METER Model : PVB-820 Your purchase of this PEN VIBRATION METER marks a step forward for you into field precision measurement. Although this METER is a complex and delicate instrument, its...
1. FEATURES * Applications for industrial vibration monitoring : All industrial machinery vibrates. The level of vibration is a useful guide to machine condition. Poor balance, misalignment & looseness of the structure will cause the vibration level increase, it is a sure sign that the maintenance is needed.
2. SPECIFICATIONS 2-1 General Specifications Display LCD, size : 20 mm x 28 mm. Measurement Velocity, Acceleration. * RMS value. Function Acceleration , g, Velocity mm/s, cm/s, inch/s Frequency 10 Hz to 1 KHz * Sensitivity relative during the range the frequency range meet ISO 2954 Refer to table 1, page.
4. MEASURING PROCEDURE 1)Attaching Meter Body with the Sensing head a. Connect ( Screw ) the " Sensing Head " ( 3-7, Fig. 1 to the bottom of the " Vibration Sensor " ( 3-6, Fig. 1 ). b. Hold the meter's body by hand loosely. Touch the front pin of the "...

3)Function Selection Select the desired function by pressing the " Function Button " ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) once the measurement Function will be present in sequence. Measurement Metric unit Imperial unit Acceleration Velocity mm/s, cm/s inch/s The Display will show the indicator : ACC : Acceleration VEL : Velocity mm/s...
5. ZERO ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE 1)Open the " Battery Cover " ( 3-5. Fig. 1 ). Use one finger to press the " Battery holder " to the battery snap can contact the batteries completely. 2)Power on the meter by pressing the " Power Button " ( 3-2, Fig.
6. BATTERY REPLACEMENT 1)When the LCD display shows It is necessary to replace the battery. However, some measurements may still be made for several hours after Low Battery Indicator first appears, before the instrument can become less accurate. 2)To replace the battery, rotate and remove the " Battery Cover "...
8. CLASSIFICATION RANGES For the valuation of machines and equipment in the ISO 2372 and VDI 2056, four different kinds of machine groups with four classification ranges and their limits for vibration severity ( mm/s ) are determined. The classifications for each machine group are specified as follows : Small machines, especially production electrical motors of up to 15 KW ( Group K )
Large machines on heavy foundations ( Group G ) Good 0 to 1.80 mm/s Acceptable 1.81 to 4.50 mm/s Still permissible 4.51 to 11.2 mm/s Dangerous > 11.2 mm/s Largest machines and turbo machines with a special foundations ( Group T ). Good 0 to 2.80 mm/s Acceptable...
