1.1 Application
DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The vibration meter BALTECH VP-3410 is designed to
perform vibration monitoring of a wide range of machines
for the purpose of checking their technical condition.
The vibration meter is a simple, portable measurement
device, which allows to perform the following tasks:
- measurement of vibration acceleration in two frequency
bands;
- measurement of RMS vibration velocity and vibration
displacement within the range from 10 to 1000 Hz.
The vibration meter BALTECH VP-3410 consists of electronic
unit and piezo sensor. The piezo sensor is connected to the
device via cable. Sensor type: piezoelectric acceleration
sensor.
The device housing is made of ABS plastic and has one
sensor input, screen, which displays measurements and
current settings. Measurement and setting control is
performed with a film keyboard. Battery is inside the housing
in a battery cabinet.
During the measurement procedure the sensor is connected
to the device, via cable and is pressed by probe or mounted
on a measurement object with magnet or pin.

The vibration meter BALTECH VP-3410 must be protected
from heavy shocks and vibrations.
If the vibration meter is not used for a long period of time, it
is necessary to remove the battery, in order to prevent
outflow of liquid from it, which may result in the device
damage.
The manufacturer guarantees the conformance of the
produced devices BALTECH VP-3410 to the technical data
upon observance of conditions of operation, maintenance,
storage, transportation, specified in the operational
documentation.
Guarantee period - 12 months
Warranty is not valid:
- if there are visible mechanical damages;
- if power supply, which doesn't conform to the present
technical documentation, was used.

2.2.2 Battery monitoring
ON
Press the measurement button to
switch on the device.
The vibration meter SWITCHES
OFF in a minute AUTOMATICALLY.
To do this:
1. Open the battery cabinet;
2. Insert the battery type D (6F22, 6LF22) in accordance with the
battery polarity marking;
3. Close the battery cabinet.
If during the device operation the screen
displays «BAT», it means, that the battery
is low and it is necessary to replace it.

2.2.3 Measurement mode
Press the button «SET» to select a measurement mode:
acceleration, velocity or displacement; the selected mode is
indicated by the arrow on the right side of the screen.
2.2.4 Selection of frequency range interval
When measuring acceleration, you can use a button of the
frequency range change. The selected frequency range is
indicated by the arrow on the left side of the screen.
Measurement ranges (LO/HI) are shown on the figure 3.
HI: 1kHz– 10 kHz is used for high-frequency vibration measurement
LO: 10 Hz – 1 kHz is used for overall vibration measurement
Note: selection of the frequency range is possible only for
acceleration measurement

Before you start measuring, make sure, that the battery is
not low. If necessary, replace it. Remove the shield from the
magnet before mounting the sensor.
The vibration meter BALTECH VP-3410 uses the acceleration
sensor, which is connected to the electronic device via low
noise cable. The sensor can be mounted on the
measurement object in the following way:
1. Mounting with a magnet is used for performing ordinary
measurements with relatively accurate measurement
results. When operating with the magnet, make sure, that
the sensor is connected to the magnet tightly.
2. Mounting with a probe, when there is little space for
mounting the magnet, or when the measurement object is
nonmagnetic. The probe is connected to the sensor with the
help of thread connection. When measuring, make sure, that
the sensor and the probe are mounted on the measurement
object tightly. This measurement method is not applicable
when operation with high-frequency band.
3. Mounting on the pin for measurement of high-frequency
vibration.
2.3 Work with the device
2.3.1 Preparation for measurement procedure
2.3.2 Sensor mounting
sensor
magnet
Connect the sensor cable
to the electronic unit
(make sure, it is fixed).

1. Hold the measurement button during 10 seconds, after
this the vibration meter is ready for measurement;
2. Press the measurement button and hold it, mount the
sensor on the measurement object. The screen will display
the measurement results; release the measurement button.
The measured value will be saved on the screen, you can
read and record it.
3. Press the measurement button for further measurements.
- If the measurement button is not pressed within one
minute, the device will switch off automatically;
- The sensor must be mounted on the measurement object
tightly, otherwise you can have inaccurate measurement
results.
