Repair and Maintenance
PCB guarantees Total Customer Satisfaction through its
“Lifetime Warranty Plus” on all Platinum Stock Products
sold by PCB and through its limited warranties on all other
PCB Stock, Standard and Special products. Due to the
sophisticated nature of our sensors and associated
instrumentation, field servicing and repair is not
recommended and, if attempted, will void the factory
warranty.
Beyond routine calibration and battery replacements
where applicable, our products require no user
maintenance. Clean electrical connectors, housings, and
mounting surfaces with solutions and techniques that will
not harm the material of construction. Observe caution
when using liquids near devices that are not hermetically
sealed. Such devices should only be wiped with a
dampened cloth—never saturated or submerged.
In the event that equipment becomes damaged or ceases
to operate, our Application Engineers are here to support
your troubleshooting efforts 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week. Call or email with model and serial number as well
as a brief description of the problem.
Calibration
Routine calibration of sensors and associated
instrumentation is necessary to maintain measurement
accuracy. We recommend calibrating on an annual basis,
after exposure to any extreme environmental influence,
or prior to any critical test.
PCB Piezotronics is an ISO-9001 certified company whose
calibration services are accredited by A2LA to ISO/IEC
17025, with full traceability to SI through N.I.S.T. In
addition to our standard calibration services, we also offer
specialized tests, including: sensitivity at elevated or
cryogenic temperatures, phase response, extended high
or low frequency response, extended range, leak testing,
hydrostatic pressure testing, and others. For more
information, contact your local PCB Piezotronics
distributor, sales representative, or factory customer
service representative.
Returning Equipment
If factory repair is required, our representatives will
provide you with a Return Material Authorization (RMA)
number, which we use to reference any information you
have already provided and expedite the repair process.
This number should be clearly marked on the outside of
all returned package(s) and on any packing list(s)
accompanying the shipment.

description
The meter provides two types of measurements —overall acceleration and overall velocity. In the velocity mode,
the meter measures in the frequency range of 10 Hz to 1 kHz, and complies with ISO2954 standard. It measures
overall RMS velocity to a maximum of two inches per second. In acceleration mode, the meter measures in the
frequency range of 50 Hz to 50 kHz. The maximum overall RMS acceleration reading is 20 g’s. To toggle
between acceleration and velocity measurements, use the rocker switch labeled “ACC/VEL.”To turn the unit on,
move the rocker switch labeled “0/I/Bias”to the “I”position. The “0”position shuts the unit off, while the bias is a
momentary toggle for monitoring the bias voltage of the sensor.
The meter provides three input connectors that are located at the top of the unit. The input for the sensor (labeled
SENSOR) is a standard BNC Jack. The headphones can be connected through the 1/8 inch stereo jack (labeled
with the appropriate symbol), and the input for the recharger (labeled CHARGE) is a 2.5 mm plug.
The unit is powered by a 9-volt alkaline battery which is housed in the battery compartment located at the bottom
of the meter. To remove this cover, use a small standard screwdriver, pry the cover up, and the push it up
towards the top of the meter. Since the meter is supplied with alkaline batteries, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
RECHARGE ALKALINE BATTERIES. IT MAY CAUSE A POTENTIAL FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION.
The unit has a low battery indicator on the front panel LCD display. The indicator will light when the battery
voltage is approximately 7.5 volts. Please replace the battery or recharge the rechargeable battery if supplied.
If the optional recharger was purchased, plug-in the recharger in the appropriate connector located on the top of
the meter. Turn unit off, and plug the charger into an electrical outlet. Recharge the battery for approximately 12
hours.

sensor –model 603C01
The sensor supplied with the kit is a general purpose industrial accelerometer, Model 603C01. Please refer to the
enclosed specifications on the 603C01 for proper operation of the sensor.
headphones –model 070A47
The headphones are stereo-type with built-in, individual volume controls. The volume knobs are located on the
side of the cuffs. Please keep volume to a comfortable level in order to maintain audio safety.
magnetic mounting base –model 080A131
The supplied magnet can be used for either curved or flat surfaces. To maximize frequency response, always
dab a layer of silicone grease or equivalent between the sensor and the magnet. To minimize errors in readings,
proper surface preparation should be observed. See sensor manual for further information.
cable assembly –model 050BQ006AC
The cable assembly supplied is a 6 ft coiled cable with a right-angle military connector on one end to a BNC plug
on the other. Screw the military connector onto the sensor, and make sure it is hand tight. The BNC plug is then
inserted into the BNC jack on the meter labeled sensor.

warning 1 –ESD sensitivity
The power supply/signal conditioner should not be opened by anyone other than qualified service
personnel. This product is intended for use by qualified personnel who recognize shock hazards and are familiar
with the safety precautions required to avoid injury.
warning 2 –ESD sensitivity
This equipment is designed with user safety in mind; however, the protection provided by the equipment may be
impaired if the equipment is used in a manner not specified by PCB Piezotronics, Inc.
caution 1 –ESD sensitivity
Cables can kill your equipment. High voltage electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electrical devices.
Similar to a capacitor, a cable can hold a charge caused by triboelectric transfer, such as that which occurs in the
following:
 Laying on and moving across a rug,
 Any movement through air,
 The action of rolling out a cable, and/or
 Contact with a non-grounded person.
The PCB solution for product safety:
 Connect the cables only with the AC power off.
 Temporarily “short”the end of the cable before attaching it to any signal input or output.
caution 2 –ESD sensitivity
ESD considerations should be made prior to performing any internal adjustments on the equipment. Any
piece of electronic equipment is vulnerable to ESD when opened for adjustments. Internal adjustments should
therefore be done ONLY at an ESD-safe work area. Many products have ESD protection, but the level of
protection may be exceeded by extremely high voltage.

warranty
IMI instrumentation is warranted against defective material and workmanship for 1 year unless otherwise
expressly specified. Damage to instruments caused by incorrect power or misapplication, is not covered by
warranty. If there are any questions regarding power, intended application, or general usage, please consult with
your local sales contact or distributor. Batteries and other expendable hardware items are not covered by
warranty.
service
Because of the sophisticated nature of IMI instrumentation, field repair is typically NOT recommended and may
void any warranty. If factory service is required, return the instrumentation according to the “Return Procedure”
stated below. A repair and/or replacement quotation will be provided prior to servicing at no charge. Before
returning the unit, please consult a factory IMI applications engineer concerning the situation as certain problems
can often be corrected with simple on-site procedures.
return procedure
To expedite returned instrumentation, contact a factory IMI applications engineer for a RETURN MATERIAL
AUTHORIZATION (RMA) NUMBER. Please have information available such as model and serial number. Also,
to insure efficient service, provide a written description of the symptoms and problems with the equipment to a
local sales representative or distributor, or contact IMI if none are located in your area.
Customers outside the U.S. should consult their local IMI distributor for information on returning equipment. For
exceptions, please contact the International Sales department at IMI to request shipping instructions and an RMA.
For assistance, please call [phone], or fax us at [phone]. You may also receive assistance via e-
