8. PERfORMING A MEASuREMENT
Observe rotating or moving parts during measurement. danger of injury
The measurement must only take place at current-free surfaces. The indicated temperature range
must not be exceeded and undercut at the sensor either. Remove the sensor from the object to be
measured after completion of each measurement and switch off the measuring device.
a) Preparation for Measurement
• Connect the sensor (7) to the meter (6). Turn the safety ring until it is hand-tight.
• Push the button "POWER" for approx. 2s to switch on the meter.
• Equip the sensor with a sensor prod as required.
• Hold the sensor (7) against the position to be measured. Observe a good level position. For ferro-magnetic materi-
als (e.g. iron), the enclosed screwed magnet (9) can be screwed to the sensor (7). It will then adhere to the metal
in an operating-friendly manner.
b) Selecting Measuring functions
• Select the measuring function by pushing the corresponding button (3). Every time you push the button, you
switch the function. Possible measuring functions are:

Acceleration:
v
vibration strength
D
vibration offset:
for vibration monitoring, acceleration or vibration strengths are usually measured.
• Read the measured value at the display.
c) hOLd function
To record the measured value briefly, push the button "HOLD". The display shows the active HOLD function with the
icon "HOLD". Pushing the button again switches the function off again.
