VTSYIQI 3D Vibration Meter VOM-7698 Instruction Manual

1. Product Overview

The VTSYIQI 3D Vibration Meter VOM-7698 is a portable instrument designed for precise measurement of vibration in machinery. It utilizes a piezoelectric transducer to measure three parameters: acceleration, velocity, and displacement, across three axes (X, Y, Z). This device is suitable for periodic measurements to detect mechanical faults such as imbalance and misalignment in rotating equipment, aiding in quality control, commissioning, and predictive maintenance.

Key features include:

• Simultaneous display of three parameters (velocity, acceleration, displacement) in one view.
• 3-dimensional or 1-dimensional measurement capability.
• Compliance with ISO 2954 standards for vibration measurement.
• High-quality piezoelectric accelerometer for accurate and repeatable results.
• Wide frequency range for various measurement needs.
• Bearing condition monitoring function.
• USB/RS-232 data output for PC connectivity and data analysis.

4. Operation

4.1 Power On/Off

• Press the red power button to turn the device on.
• Press and hold the red power button again to turn the device off.

4.2 Measurement Modes and Unit Selection

• Press the A/V/D button to cycle through Acceleration, Velocity, and Displacement measurement modes. The active mode will be displayed on the screen.
• Press the UNIT button to change the measurement units (e.g., m/s², ft/s², g for acceleration; mm/s, inch/s for velocity; mm, mil for displacement).

4.3 Axis Selection

• Press the X/Y/Z / XYZ button to switch between single-axis (X, Y, or Z) and three-axis (XYZ) measurement display. In XYZ mode, the device will show readings for all three axes simultaneously.

4.4 Data Hold

• During measurement, press the HOLD button to freeze the current readings on the display.
• Press the HOLD button again to release the hold and resume live measurement.

4.5 Volume Control (Optional)

• If using optional headphones as an electronic stethoscope, use the VOL. button to adjust the audio output level.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the device and sensor with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the meter and its accessories in the provided carrying case in a cool, dry place when not in use.
• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries promptly when the low battery indicator appears on the display to ensure accurate readings and prevent data loss. Remove batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period.
• Sensor Care: Handle the piezoelectric sensor with care. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to excessive force, as this can affect its calibration and accuracy.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Device Does Not Power On

• Check if the batteries are correctly installed with the proper polarity.
• Replace the batteries with new AA 1.5V batteries.

6.2 Inaccurate Readings

• Ensure the sensor is securely connected to the main unit.
• Verify that the sensor is properly attached to the object being measured.
• Check for any visible damage to the sensor or its cable.
• Ensure the measurement mode (Acceleration, Velocity, Displacement) and units are correctly selected for your application.

6.3 Data Transfer Issues

• Confirm the USB data cable is securely connected to both the meter and the computer.
• Ensure the data transfer software is correctly installed on your computer.
• Check your computer's device manager to see if the meter is recognized.
