Page 8: Overview
Overview The VIBROSTORE 100E (VST-100E) is a simple to use rugged vibration monitoring and portable analysis instrument with on-board display of vibration levels. VST-100E provide basic vibration indication functions based on machine running speed. This functionality may help to diagnose faults, indicating main parameter for unbalance, misalignment, and looseness, to be confirmed with further analysis. -

Page 15: Fitting The Sensor
Brüel & Kjær Vibro │ Instructions VST-100E Fitting the sensor VST-100E is supplied with a cable connected sensor (accelerometer) that connects to the BNC connector on VST-100E. The nominal sensitivity of the sensor is 100 mV/g. VST-100E can also accept any standard IEPE (CCS) accelerometer and the sensor sensitivity setting can be adjusted to accommodate other sensitivities (see section 3.5.2.3 in this manual). -
Page 16: Taking A Reading
Taking a reading To take a reading, press the center button turn the unit ON. Place the sensor on a rigid part of the machine as close as possible to the desired measurement point (e.g. bearing block) using the magnet mount. Pressing the circle button again takes the reading. -
Page 17: Vibration Readings
Brüel & Kjær Vibro │ Instructions VST-100E 3.4.1 Vibration readings WARNING! Through electro-magnetic interferences (acc. to EN 61000-4-3) influences on the measured values may arise. Once a vibration reading has been taken, the display will show three values, as shown in the example screen (see chapter 3.4 Taking a reading). - Page 18 ISO value (mm/s) The ISO value (in mm/s or inch/s) is the large number displayed at the top of the screen. This is the RMS measurement of the calculated peak measurement of the vibration velocity in the frequency band 10Hz (600 RPM) to 1kHz (60,000 RPM) or 2Hz (120 RPM) to 1kHz (60,000 RPM) as specified by the ISO standard .

Page 19: Vibration Analysis (Vibration Bands)
Brüel & Kjær Vibro │ Instructions VST-100E Bearing Condition (BDU) Below the displayed ISO value and to the left is the value of bearing noise (high frequency vibration) in Bearing Damage Units (BDU), where 100 BDU corresponds to 1 g RMS vibration measured in the frequency band between 1kHz and 10kHz. - Page 20 N.B. in order to perform a vibration analysis it is important that the running speed of the machine is entered correctly. This can be done with the “Setup Wizard” as described in Section 3.5.1 of this user guide. Typical but not exclusive for the appearance of following multiples of running speed are: 1X = Unbalance: The level of vibration in the frequency band based on the running speed is usually indicative of how...
