Portable vibration meter stores up to 100 readings A
n upgraded version of its successful portable
vibration meter with a bright, easily readable display has been introduced by Monitran. When connected to a constant current type accelerometer the compact MTN/VM330D stores up to 100 time-stamped readings, which can be transferred to a PC using the USB cable supplied. An invaluable trouble-
shooting tool, the high performance unit displays an instant readout of RMS, peak, peak-peak, crest factor and bearing condition and gives a colour-coded indication of machine status. Conforming to ISO 10816-3, it has a large colour LCD display and a rugged protective rubber case. Its rechargeable lithium-ion
battery comes with a worldwide charger and delivers a battery life of over 20 hours. Other features include a switchable low pass filter and an audio output for listening to the vibration directly. The MTN/VM330D is
suitable for monitoring the performance of a wide range of machinery, including engines, gearboxes, motors, turbines and pumps. It is supplied with Monitran's MTN/2200 general purpose accelerometer as standard, with other types available on request. “This simple vibration
meter gives you the ability to measure vibration at any point on a machine and is often all you need to confirm that your machinery is working within manufacturing specification.
We recommend it should be in every engineer's tool kit,” says Monitran managing director, Andy Anthony. Customers who already
have Monitran’s MTN/VM220 vibration meter can return it to take advantage of an introductory upgrade offer.
