1. Instrument Overview
This chapter provide a general introduction of the VIBER X5 MkIII™, it describes the scope of
supply, the basics on how to use and navigate in the instrument and general settings.
1.1. Introduction
The VIBER X5 MkIII™ is an advanced 3 channel vibration analyzer. Together with SpectraPro®
PC software it is a valuable tool for predictive maintenance.
The VIBER X5 MkIII™ is capable of measuring, processing, displaying and storing a wide range
of measurement parameters. You can collect various types of field data; examples are
vibration information, bearing measurements, temperature, speed and other process
variables that enable you to expand its functionality by adding new modules to improve your
analysis capabilities. You may also use the VIBER X5 MkIII™ for 1 or 2 plane balancing.
Features of VIBER X5™:
FAST
VIBER X5 MkIII™uses a new generation of floating point DSP processor from Texas
Instruments (C6700 series), which ensures a very short data processing time.
RUGGED
Made for hard use in hard environments IP65 casing and operating temperature of -20 to
+70 °C
COMPATIBLE
VIBER X5 MkII™ uses SpectraPro® condition monitoring software to manage data. Using an
existing database, it may be used together with Easy VIBER, Easy Balancer and XVIBER
instruments, just the way it is, with no other changes.
EASY TO USE
VIBER X5 MkIII™has a graphical user interface, a right and left hand operated keyboard and a
user friendly context sensitive HELP.
The measurements are grouped so that a novice user can easily handle them, but also the
experienced users have access to the advanced measurement menus.
FLEXIBLE
The instrument works with all standard type of vibration transducer in the market.
In the Route measurement you may define a customized transducer for any measurement
point; this makes most signals accessible, in order to get additional information that might
improve the condition measurement quality.
The instrument is compatible with any external tachometer and also with standard 4-20 mA
process transducers (flow, pressure, temperature a.s.o.).
OPEN SYSTEM
The storage device with all user data can be connected to a PC through a USB cable, as with
any USB mass storage device. No driver is required.
All user data, including route data, is stored as files. To include this data into another
monitoring system, you require the monitoring systems communication protocol
specifications.
