1. Generally basical safety-instrucations
Do not use this device as the sole monitoring device in situations where failure of the device can
result in damage to goods or personal injury.
To achieve the desired results, make sure that the device and its technical data are suitable for
use with the device/equipment and parameters which you wish to monitor.
.
The sensor is sensitive to shock. A downfall out lower height to a hard substratum can destroy
the sensor.
The location where the sensor is installed and the method used for installing the sensor have a
decisive impact on the quality of the sensor signal. The sensor may only be installed by
appropriately qualified and instructed staff.
Electrical connections must be made by appropriately skilled staff. Connection errors can lead
to malfunctioning or failure of, or irreparable damage to, the sensor and the electronics.
The ESW®-Mini should not be used on machines with a very energetic high-frequency solid-
borne. Through resonance apparitions in the sensor, the device can indicate a much too great
or too small value.
Powerful noise sources for instance inverters, in direct closeness of the sensor, electronics or
cabling, can result in faulty behaving of the apparatus.
Potential differences and balance currents in the mass guidance can result in faulty behaving
too.
The connection cable is resistant against many but not every type of chemicals. A defective
cable can allow chemicals to enter the housing and iireparable damage the electronic, in which
case the device would no longer work. The conditions from the mounting surrounding must be
checked and the cover material from the cable must be proofed, if it resists these requirements.
You can get an overview from the chemical resistance of the cover material from us.

2. Performance specification
2.1. The Problem
Vibrations develop in many technical areas. Often they can be ignored or are even necessary,
but sometimes they are also undesirable or dangerous. Dangerous vibration states can also
develop from initially unnoticeable vibrations or completely unexpectedly.
The causes often lie in mechanical defects or unbalances or in improper use of the machine in
question. The consequences can include a deterioration of product quality, production losses
and safety hazards, and as a minimum increased wear.
Increased automation and, for example, high noise levels often hinder acoustic or visual
monitoring. Early detection, material treatment and protection and damage limitation offer a
significant potential for cost reductions.
2.2. Application Area
The ESW®-Miniis used to protect machines, mechanical equipment and devices and last but
not least the operating staff against the impacts of excessively high vibration stress. It
permanently monitors the level of the vibration and provides a warning if the limit level is
exceeded. The current level of the vibration parameter can also be measured at any time via
the analog output.
The frequency range and the unit of measurement result from the characteristics of the
measured object and the environmental reference. Depending on the measured object occurs
the signal estimation according to the crest value or the effective value of the measurement.
The actual measurement is given out in form of a 4 to 20mA analog-signal that can be
used without any disturbance for longer cable interconnections.
2.3. Foreseeable Misuse
WARNING!
• Never change the limit level to reduce assumed false alarms.
Clarify the cause of the alarms.
• Manipulation of the switch contacts of the alarm output or dismantling
of the device disable the monitoring function.
• Every modification or change can endanger safety.
2.4. Special Features
The device does not require special maintenance!
If you send the device to the manufacturer for inspection and checking, please enclose a
detailed description of the fault and provide the name of a contact person whom we can contact
if we have questions.

4.3 Installing the Device
Fig. 3: Installation drawing
In the version with a standard housing, the device is installed on the machine to be monitored
using two M4 threaded bolts. A drilling template is provided in Section 6.2. A sufficiently large,
flat mounting surface must be available around the mounting position for the device,
perpendicular to the mounting holes and the direction of vibration.
With the housing version with a base plate, the device is installed on the machine to be
monitored using a central M8 threaded pin. The maximum torque of 30 Nm may not be
exceeded, and the force may only be applied via the hexagonal element.
1. The measurement axis of the device must be aligned to the direction of vibration
(see the drawing of the housing).
2. The instructions on the device must be complied with in all cases.
3. The mounting surface must be flat, clean and free of paint and rust.
4. The threaded hole(s) must be perpendicular to the mounting surface and free of swarf and
other foreign bodies. The threaded hole(s) may also not contain any paint, rust, lubricant or
insulation material. This also applies to the threaded hole in the device and to the threaded
pin.
5. The threaded pin and the mounting bolts must be secured using a suitable liquid fixing agent
to
prevent unintentional loosening.
6. The device must be lie solidly on the mounting surface.
CAUTION!
When the device has been installed, the connecting cable is laid. Care
must be taken that the cable is on the one hand fitted sufficiently
flexibly, to ensure that it does not become torn off during excessive
vibration. On the other hand it must be laid sufficiently firmly to ensure
that it can not itself generate noises due to impacts, that it is protected
against damage during normal operation, and that it does not create a
risk of accidents due to tripping or stumbling over it. The bend radius of
the connecting cable may in no case be less than 70 mm.

4.7 Ground connection settings( ST2: S1 and S2)
WARNING!
Potential-differences and excessive leakage currents can be result into
signal scatters and large equalizing currents, that could cause errors at
the measurement mode or even destruction inside of the device.
For a flexible reaction at different situations, it´s possible to connect different grounds differently
with the switch S1 and S2 of the dip switch.
table 1: grounding connection
4.8 Setting the Limit Level
WARNING!
The correct limit level depends on the measurement task and may not
be changed without careful consideration of the impacts.
If a large number of alarms are generated, the reason for these should
first be established rather than simply changing the limit level.
• To change the limit level, first the device must be opened.
• The desired limit level is then set using the limit level step switch. The step switch is marked
with the numbers 0 to 9. Switch position 1 corresponds to a limit level of 10%, position 6
corresponds to a limit level of 60%, and position 0 corresponds to a limit level of 100% of the
measurement range. The switch does not have an end stop and can be rotated through 360°
without a risk of damage.
• Having set the limit level, the device is then closed again.
