Vibration Meter Stores More Overall Vibration Measurements

June 10, 2009
Balmac Inc. introduces the Model 230 Vibration Meter that stores overall vibration measurements needed to check the condition of rotating equipment.  Providing your maintenance and operations personnel with this easy-to-use meter can provide an early warning of potential machinery problems before a costly failure occurs.  With the Model 230 Meter the user can quickly and accurately check the machinery condition and store the measurements for later recall and analysis.  The Model 230 stores a typical workday of vibration measurements. The Model 230 Meter features a small 100 mV/g accelerometer with a magnetic base and extension probe for hard-to-reach locations. Vibration readings and stored measurements are shown on a bright backlit display viewable in direct sunlight or low light locations.  The meter uses four standard AA size alkaline batteries providing days worth of portable operation. The meters auto-shutoff helps extend battery life.• AMPLITUDE METER RANGE: • 0.015 to 199.9 mils (peak-to-peak) Displacement o to 199.9 in/sec (peak) Velocity o to 199.9 g’s (peak) Acceleration • Metric: (230M) Displacement micrometers (µm) peak-to-peak • Velocity millimeters-per-second (mm/sec) peak • RANGE: Automatic Scaling Over 3 Ranges • English (Usable) Metric (Usable) • High: 200 = 20.0 to 199.9 2000 = 199.9 to 1999 • Medium: 20 = 2.00 to 19.99 200 = 19.99 to 199.9 • Low: 2 = 0.015 to 1.999 20 = 01.99 to 19.99 • SENSITIVITY: • Displacement: 0.000015 inch (0.015 mil) (15 micro-inch) • Velocity: 0.001 inch/sec • Acceleration: 0.001 g • ACCURACY: 5% of Full Scale • FREQUENCY • RANGE: ±5% = 180 to 480,000 RPM (3 to 7,000 Hz) • ±3 dB = 24 to 840,000 RPM • (0.4 to 14,000 Hz) • DISPLAY: Graphic LCD with Low Battery indicator • INPUT: Industrial ICP Accelerometer (100 mV/g) • OUTPUT: Signal for Headphones 1/8" Mono jack • CONTROLS: Sealed 6 Button Keypad • POWER: 4 x AA Alkaline Batteries • OPERATING • TEMPERATURE: 32° to 122°F (0° to 50°C) • ENVIRONMENT: Relative Humidity 0-90% Non-Condensing • DIMENSIONS: • Model 230 7.67" H x 3.97" W x 1.73" D (19 x 10 x 4 cm) • Carrying Case 13.5" H x 10.5" W x 4.5" D (34 x 26 x 11 cm) • WEIGHT: • Meter and Accessories 5 lbs (2.3 kg) • Meter and pickup 1.25 lbs (0.6 kg)
