Foreword
Congratulations! And thank you for selecting the VIBXPERT II FFT
data collector and signal analyzer*. This newly developed measure-
ment device is not just the ideal companion for your routine measure-
ment round, but also a reliable on-site aid for recording and analyzing
complex machine signals.
VIBXPERT records all types of machine vibrations, bearing conditions
as well as process and visual inspection data, and transfers this infor-
mation to the OMNITREND maintenance software for evaluation,
archiving and documentation.
The combination of its extensive range of features and easy operation
makes VIBXPERT the effective choice for a wide range of applications:
• Highmeasurementaccuracyandhigh-speeddatacollection
• Operatingmodes:
'Route' for routine data collection for condition-based maintenance,
'Multimode' for individual measurements for machine diagnosis
'Balancing' in one or two planes (optional).
'Machine templates' for recurrent measurement tasks within the
scope of acceptance or service measurements

General safety
The following notes must be carefully read and completely under-
stood before the device is put into service.
Risk of injury when measuring on a running machine!
Observe the safety regulations. Install the measurement equip-
ment properly. During measurement on machines with rotating
parts exposed, ensure that no brackets, cables etc. can become
caught in rotating machine parts.
The measurement device may only be operated if it is undam-
aged, dry and clean.
Operation and maintenance are to be performed only by prop-
erly trained personnel.
 RepairstothedevicemaybecarriedoutonlybyaPRÜFTECH-

Only original spare parts and accessories may be used.
Only properly functioning, regularly-maintained electrical
equipment may be used. Any defects such as broken plugs or
loose sockets must be corrected immediately. Damaged cables
must be replaced by an authorized service technician.
Any alterations that affect device design or operating safety are
not permitted.
Environmental influences
Portable radio-based devices can interfere with proper func-
tioning of the device when operated nearby. In case of doubt,
check the connecting cable between the device and its trans-
ducer.
Avoid exposing the device, its transducers and cables to envi-
ronmental conditions that exceed the tolerances listed in the
‘Technical Data’ section at the rear of this manual.
Keep the protective caps on the connector sockets when they
are not in use to keep them clean.

Interfaces
The connections for the sensor and data cables are located on the
front of the measurement device. The cable connectors and sockets
are colored for easy identification.
To unplug the connector, push the connector sleeve backwards to re-
lease the lock. Only then should you remove the connector from the
device. Never pull directly on the cable!
Analog
The blue channels marked with 'A' and 'B' are used as the:
- Input for analog signals
- Charging socket for the battery (A or B)
The sensor cable is connected to the channel (A or B) set in the mea-
surement task.
The analog measurement channels are not electrically insulated.
For 2-channel measurement on two machines, check the potential
equalization (VDE 0100) or use electrically insulated sensors.

Digital
The yellow channel is used as the:
- Input for digital signals from a trigger or a RPM sensor
- Serialinterfacefordatatransmission(RS232)
- Output for the analog signal (connection for headphone/oscillo-
scope)

The input signal must not exceed the switching threshold of the
positive and negative range as otherwise incorrect measurements
can occur.
Temperature
This interface is used for the connection of a thermo couple type K.
Communication
The green channel is used as the:
- Communication interface to the PC. The connection is established

Attention!
During extended periods of non-use and during storage, connect
VIBXPERT regularly to the mains supply. This prevents the battery
from becoming completely discharged, and the date and time settings
are retained.
