New VS1 Handheld Vibration Meter Kit

DJB Instruments has announced the launch of an all new handheld vibration meter the VS1. Available as a complete kit including palm size meter, cables, vibration probe, magnet and worldwide charger the VS1 replaces the outgoing VT2 which was originally developed by the company’s founder Don Birchall.

The VS1 offers a range of upgraded features over the VT2 to enable vibration engineers to monitor and to analyse a variety of applications and scenarios.
Features include:

• Storage of up to 100 data readings, all time stamped.
• Full colour LCD Display which can be seen even in bright sunlight.
• Rechargeable Lithium-ion battery in addition to a worldwide charger.
• RMS, peak, peak-peak, crest factor readings in acceleration, velocity or displacement modes.
• Bearing condition mode (acceleration and velocity).
• Rubber protective jacket to protect in harsh environment use.
• Adaptive amplifier for high accuracy.
• AC output.
• Audio output to enable the user to listen to the vibration being measured in isolation.

DJB factory’s  Managing Director, Neill Ovenden, said of the new release…’The VT2 has been in our product range since 1994 and still has a loyal user base, however it really needed an update to something that met a wider range of today’s applications. The VS1 is half the size of the VT2 and has considerably more functionality and amazingly we can sell the complete kit at the same price as we sold the VT2 giving customers more for their money’  

The VS1 is available to order now and can be ordered with additional IEPE accelerometers from the DJB range.
