An expert measuring the vibration levels on site can be the best way to monitor levels during a critical, high-risk operation. Conversely, a monitoring regime based on short-term attended measurements can be sufficient for smaller construction projects or where the risk of adverse effects from vibration is considered relatively low. The VM-56 is ideally suited to attended measurements. It is easy and intuitive to use. The bright, backlit display is easy to read in all lighting conditions. The unit is lightweight and portable with sufficient battery life, from the internal AA cells, for a full day’s monitoring. Practical accessories, such as ground and wall mounting plates are available.
The VM-56 stores the measurement results as a CSV file onto a memory card which can be opened directly into a spreadsheet program making the task of reporting very quick and easy. The Waveform Recording Program VX-56WR and Waveform Analysis Software can be used if more detailed analysis is required.
