vPod II - Smart VIBRATION METERS
Powered by the microprocessor this
meter can easily measure average, hold or peak hold vibration data,
and display them with user selectable unit/detection. The battery
charge indicator and sensor bias indicator is also a standard feature
of vPod and vPod ll. vPod ll has built-in memory for storing up 1000
archive data points. It can transfer data through the RS-232C port with a
PC.
For those precision machines that have
very low vibration levels, a precision reading is necessary. In
addition to an extra quiet accelerometer that is supplied as a
standard accessory incorporate a built-in gain circuit to amplify
small vibration signals and show the reading in precision mode when
you turn the gain mode on. This one button gain function allows the
user to increase precision by one decimal place.
The vPod can measure vibration levels in
acceleration, velocity or displacement. The users can select to
display the vibration results in their preferable units and
detections. The vPod come standard with a built-in 500 Hz high pass
filter. The is significant because most roller element bearings' parts
are located between 500 Hz - 2 kHz. This high pass filter method has
been proven to be very useful in identifying a bearing condition.
With the incorporation of built-in
EEPROM memory, a vPod ll meter can store up to 1000 sets of vibration
data. These saved data points can be recalled by entering the meter's
REVIEW mode. Every vPod ll comes with an RS-232C interface program for
downloading the saved data from memory to a PC for post analysis or
report building.
The Trendex software supports both
vibration and temperature data. In the route data collection mode,
vPod ll also can connect to an optional thermo meter for collecting
temperature data. vPod II Kit 01 Includes: - vPod II Smart Vibration meter
