About the VIB-M12 Universal Vibration Monitor
The Universal Vibration Monitor is suitable for applications
where vibrations need to be monitored or measured. Typical
applications include condition monitoring of rotating machinery to ISO 10816 and bearing monitoring. The M12 provides information about the running condition of a machine. Thereby it helps the maintenance engineer to predict wear in time and to avoid unexpected breakdown. Thus the M12 can reduce cost caused by production loss and unnecessary repairs. The M12 can also be used for many tasks in process and quality control.
Its flexible design makes it easy to adapt the M12 for any
monitoring application. This can be of particular advantage if
no information about the vibration signal and its frequency
components is available before installation.
The M12 provides standardized output signals for further
processing. A relay output for shut-off functions or alarm
messages is also available.
The M12 is designed for operation with an IEPE compatible
piezoelectric accelerometer. It can be used for measuring the
following quantities
• Vibration acceleration (without integration)
• Vibration velocity (single integration)
• Vibration displacement (with double integration)
For each vibration quantity among 3 measuring ranges can be chosen.
Application
- Monitoring of vibration velocity (severity) of rotating machinery to ISO 20816-1
- Vibration monitoring of reciprocating engines to ISO 10816-6
- Monitoring of pumps, compressors, centrifuges, ventilators, mills, and mixers
- Monitoring of bearing vibration, for instance by means of RMS or peak values, crest factor
- Emergency shut-off or alarm tripping in case of increasing vibration
- Sound level monitoring using IEPE compatible microphones
- Production quality control
Key features
- Relay output with adjustable threshold and alarm delay to prevent false alarm
- Insulated current loop output (4 .. 20 mA)
- DC 0 .. 10 V output of RMS and peak-to-peak signal
- AC output for signal analyzers, recorders or scopes, selectable with or without filtering / integration
- LED bar graph display for vibration signal and threshold
- Easy snap attachment on 35 mm DIN rail
- Simple connection via screw terminal blocks
- Self test of power supply and transducer functioning, overload indicator
- External 12 .. 28 V DC supply
