VM-82A Vibration Meter

The general-purpose vibration meter VM-82A is designed mainly for maintenance and inspection of industrial machinery, with particular emphasis on rotational machinery. Acceleration, velocity, and displacement can be easily measured using a suitable frequency range, allowing comprehensive and precise evaluation of machine vibrations.
  • Operation panel with optimised button layout makes mode switching and setup easy and fast
  • Wide range of measurement applications supported by selecting different accelerometers
  • Backup function instantly reactivates previous settings at next power-on
  • Convenient USB interface allows transfer of saved data to a computer
  • Up to 24 hours of continuous operation on one set of alkaline batteries. Environment-friendly nickel-hydride batteries are also supported.
  • Compact dimensions and light weight: only 27- grams including batteries.

​Wide range of possible applications​

Using the standard accelerometer PV-571 supplied with the unit, the measurement range of the VM-82A is indicated by the Orange coloured section in the table.
Selecting a different accelerometer makes it possible to perform a wide range of other measurements.
Accelerometer sensitivity, measurements full-scale range, and frequency range can be set to achieve the measurement configurations shown in the table.

Data Store Capability

The internal memory of the VM-82A can hold up to 1000 data. In recall mode, any of the stored data can be easily redisplayed by specifying the desired address. Stored data can also be transferred to a computer. (Transfer software can be downloaded free of charge from the RION website).

Easy to read display

The large LCD panel displays the bar graph meter and numeric reading at the same time, making it easy to visually evaluate any changes immediately. The display also shows the frequency range setting and other useful information. Back lighting can be turned on if required, allowing use of the unit in dark locations. In case of overload, the indicator "OVER" appears, and the entire display colour changes to red.

System Configuration

Except for the vibration meter, Curled accelerometer cable VP-51KI and PV-571, the rest of the shown components are available as options. 

Data Printout

The separately available printer can be used to produce a hard copy of stored data or currently displayed data, together with information on measurement time and measurement parameters.
