VIBXPERT at a glance
VIBXPERT with its comprehensive
measurement and analysis func-
tions and logical user operation is
ideal for daily inspection rounds.
Together with the OMNITREND
PC software, VIBXPERT provides
an important contribution to con-
dition-oriented maintenance for
preventing unforeseen machine
downtimes and expensive produc-
tion losses.
Single-handed operation VIBXPERT lights up
Operation with the joystick is If its too dark, VIBXPERT au-
childs play. The ergonomically tomatically switches on the
arranged keys are easy to keyboard illumination. The
reach and use. lighted display allows work
night or day.

Clear display
The high-contrast illuminated
display (1/2 VGA) is easy to
read even in broad daylight.
To save power, the illumina-
tion can be automati-
cally switched off
(selectable).

Alarm display

Four indicator LEDs on
the display indicate
'Everything OK' (blue)

'Warning' (yellow)
'Alarm' (red).

Memory full
VIBXPERT saves the mea-
surement data on a Compact-
Flash card (64MB).
If necessary, cards up to 1 GB
can be used!
VIBXPERT really measures up!
The attractive external design of
VIBXPERT is also reflected in its
internal structure: intuitive, graphi-
cal user interface, straightforward
user guidance and a constantly
available help function allow not
only skilled experts, but also inex-
perienced novices to quickly
achieve usable results.

Balancing & Analysis

Expandable
VIBXPERT can be effortlessly
equipped with additional mea-
surement functions (e.g. bal-
ancing, phase measurement,
coast down measurement, or-
bit, 2-channel measure-
ments,...). No changes to the
instrument are required just a
password needs to be entered!

Communication genius Laptop/PC connection via LAN / Ethernet

VIBXPERT offers a number of

ways of exchanging data: USB and
serial jacks for direct connection to
the computer or Ethernet for
connection to the company net-
work. Via USB, VIBXPERT can be
connected directly to the appropri-
ate printer for printing out reports.

Printer connection via USB Laptop/PC via serial connection and USB

Safely in the bag!

The VIBXPERT case is robust,
looks good and, with its custom-
ized foam inlays, guarantees opti-
mum transport protection for the
components and numerous acces-
sories. Compact dimensions and
the low overall weight makes it a
handy companion.
