Vibrometer
Glossary
• PPV (Peak Particle Velocity)
The PPV represents the maximum of the modulus of the velocity vector recorded
in the time interval considered. The modulus of the velocity vector is calculated
by simultaneously considering the three components (x, y, z). For example, if
you set the sensor cadence parameter to 2 minutes, the PPV is calculated over
a time window of 2 minutes.
• PCPV (Peak Component Particle Velocity)
PCPV is dened as the maximum value of the modulus of the velocity vector of
each of the three orthogonal components measured simultaneously at a point.
• Working Threshold
set the save threshold for devices in programmed operating mode, and activation
threshold for those in threshold mode.
• Alarm Threshold
this threshold is applied to events on the Move Cloud Platform. If the threshold
is exceeded and email alarms are congured an email notication is sent.

General description
The triaxial Vibrometer can measure the velocity of the point where it is installed,
providing frequency and amplitude analysis of vibrations. With the use of Vibrometer
devices it is possible to highlight vibrations in structures, mainly induced by external
factors, and monitor their risks. The acquisition modes can be set by the user via the
web interface provided in the service.
The sensor measures a variety of parameters such as the maximum PPV (Peak particle
velocity), the maximum amplitude and frequency on each axis, and more.
These parameters are then sent to the Move Cloud Platform. The Vibrometer is thus
suitable for use in geo-environmental, hydrogeological, geotechnical, and structural
monitoring.
The Vibrometer can store acquisitions locally to allow the user to retrieve greater
amounts of data, i.e., the full event waveform.
Access to data saved locally is possible through the serial connector.

Moreover, the user can also access the streaming mode for a live view of the data ow.
A specic software and serial cable are required to access both the storage memory
and the streaming mode.
The Vibrometer is part of the Move Solutions range of LoRaWAN products for moni-
toring purposes; as such, it needs a LoRaWAN gateway in its range (such as the Move
Solutions Gateway Pro) to connect to the Move Cloud Platform. When the sensor is
connected to the platform, the settings and data can be personalized to t the user’s
needs.

What’s in the box
The Vibrometer is shipped inside a cardboard box. On the side of the box, a label is
axed with the EUI and Serial Number of the product. The EUI is very important as
it identies the sensor on the Move Cloud Platform™.

Inside the package you should nd:
Number of pieces Components
1 pc. Vibrometer
1 pcs. Antenna
2 pcs. Anchors (M6x25mm, xing hole 8mm)
2 pcs. Socket cap screws (M6x30mm)
1 pc. Move Solutions yer with a QR code linking to the most
up-to-date documentation
Carefully examine what’s inside the package and check that everything is present and
in excellent condition.
WARNING
•
DO NOT use the Vibrometer if any of the components looks broken
or tampered with.

A label baring the same information as the one on the packaging is axed on the top
lid of the Vibrometer.
From the outside you’ll see:
IMPORTANT
•
DO NOT unbox the Vibrometer in a dusty and/or humid environment.
The IP rating of the product is guaranteed only after the antenna is
screwed tightly on and the serial connector has a cable connected or
the supplied lid on.
• DO NOT loosen or tighten the screws of the Vibrometer as this could
alter the product’s IP rating.

BEFORE THE INSTALLATION
Check that you have the right tools for the operation.
1. A drill of suitable size
2. An electric screwdriver of suitable size
3. A level
6.1 Orientation
NOTE
•
The axes referenced on the Move Cloud Platform™ are the same as indicated
on the device’s labels. It is strongly advised to keep a consistent orientation of
the vibrometers on the structure, unless dierently intended, and to always
take note of the installation position of each vibrometer for future reference.
Before the installation of the unit choose the correct orientation of the installation plate.
Sensors of the same model and same application should be oriented the same way.
The Z axis (antenna) shown on the label must always be oriented upwards, resulting
as parallel as possible to the gravitational axis and perpendicular to the horizontal
plane (i.e.the ground).

CHANGING PLATE ORIENTATION
The installation plate allows the Vibrometer to be rotated 90, 180 or 270 degrees
around the Z axis relative to its factory position. To change the sensor’s orientation:
1. Remove the two screws on the bottom of the plate.
2. Rotate the Vibrometer as desired, making sure that the two smaller holes on the
bottom of the device are aligned with two of the holes of the plate.
3. Screw in the two screws that were previously removed to lock into position.

6.2 Installation
IMPORTANT
Make sure the surface where the Vibrometer is going to be installed does
not have asperities and protrusions. Close, stable and tight contact of the
device with the surface is crucial to detecting accurate data.
1. Using the installation plate as
reference, mark the chosen spot.
2. Drill two holes in the mounting
surface.
3. Insert the two brass anchors in the
holes.
4. Place the Vibrometer on the
structure and loosely tighten the
two screws.
