Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Extech 407860 Vibration Meter. The Model 407860

measures vibration levels in industrial machinery. Misalignment, poor balancing, structural

compromises, and other factors can cause unwanted vibration increases. The Model 407860 has

a frequency sensitivity that meets ISO-2954 and offers Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration

features. This meter is shipped fully tested and calibrated and, with proper use, will provide years

of reliable service.

Meter Operation

Connecting the Probe

1. Note that this meter accepts only the supplied vibration probe.

2. Plug the BNC connector end of the probe cable onto the BNC connector at the top of the meter.

3. The probe can then be connected to the tested machinery in three ways.

a. Attach the magnetic end of the probe to a ferrous material on the equipment under test as

shown in the accompanying diagram.

b. Manually hold the probe in place against the equipment under test as shown.

c. Unscrew the magnet from the probe end (as shown in the diagram) and use the threaded

mount to connect to a screw, bolt, or stud on the equipment under test.

POWER button and Auto Power OFF feature

1. Press the POWER button to turn the meter ON. If the meter does not turn on, check the 9V

battery.

2. To turn the meter off, press and hold the POWER button until the meter beeps.

3. The meter is equipped with an Automatic Power OFF utility that conserves battery life. If the

meter is left inactive for 10 minutes it will automatically turn off.

Note: Automatic Power OFF utility is disabled in the RECORD mode.

FUNCTION button

Press the FUNCTION button to select RMS, PEAK or MAX-HOLD.

1. RMS - Typical selection for vibration measurements

2. PEAK – For measurement of the peak value. Not available in the Displacement mode.

3. MAX_HOLD – Holds and displays the maximum value. The display will update only when a

new maximum is measured. Not available in the Displacement mode.

ZERO Adjustment

The meter may not indicate zero (or may indicate within a few digits of zero) with no signal applied

to the meter (no vibration). Although this is usually not a problem, this procedure will bring the meter

within a few digits of zero and improve measurement precision.

1. Connect the vibration sensor to the meter.

2. Turn the meter on and set the function to ACC and RMS.

3. Make sure the vibration sensor is perfectly still (no vibration).

4. Press and hold the HOLD button for > 5 seconds to allow the display to reach the zero

value.

Datalogging

The internal datalogger memory can hold up to 500 readings. Readings can be logged manually,

with a button press, or automatically at a programmed sample rate.

Sample Rate

The sample rate can be set to 0 (manual), 1, 2, 5, 10, 30, 60, 600, 1800 or 3600 seconds.

1. With the meter OFF, Press and hold the HOLD and REC buttons.

2. Press the POWER button.

3. When the display shows the sample rate, release the HOLD & REC buttons.

4. Use the UNIT button to select the desired sample rate.

5. Press the REC button to save the selection. The meter will sound three tones indicating that

the sample rate was successfully stored.

6. Follow the Auto or Manual Datalogging procedures in the next section.

7. To return to normal operation, simply cycle the meter’s power.

Auto Data Logging

Memory Full Indication

The meter produces a continuous tone when the internal memory has been filled to capacity (500

readings). The data can be viewed, cleared, or downloaded to a PC.

Viewing Stored Data

1. With the meter OFF, Press and hold the HOLD and REC buttons.

2. Press the POWER button.

3. When the display indicates the existing sample rate, release the HOLD and REC buttons.

4. The HOLD and the FUNCTION buttons are used to scroll through the stored data. When either

button is pressed, the data reference number will briefly appear and then the reading for the

given memory location will be displayed. The HOLD button increments the data location

number and the FUNCTION button decrements the data location number.

PC Interface

The meter is equipped with an RS-232 serial data port (located at the top of the meter next to the

probe input jack). This interface was designed to operate with the 407001 Extech software package

which includes two programs and the required meter to pc cable.

1. 407001A- Extech Data Acquisition Software: This software allows the user the meter to a PC

and view readings in real-time as they are taken (this software does not download the contents

of the meter’s memory to the PC)

2. DL2005 - Datalogger Download Software: This software allows the user to download the

contents of the meter’s memory to the PC

For streaming of data to a PC via the RS232 Output jack, the optional 407001-USB kit (RS232 to

USB cable and driver CD) along with the 407001 software (available free at www.extech.com) are

required.

Download Stored Data to PC (requires DL2005 software)

The SEND button is used to send the contents of the meter’s internal datalogger memory to the PC

via the optional DL2005 software.

1. Connect the RS-232 cable to the PC

2. Install and run the DL2005 datalogging software.

3. With HOLD and REC not selected press and hold the SEND button for > 2 seconds. “232”

(flashing) will appear in the display.

4. Press the SEND button again and the data will be sent to the meter’s RS-232 port and onto the

connected PC.

5. Press the ESC button to return to normal operation.

Appendix C: Glossary

Vibration: Vibration is an oscillation or repetitive motion of an object around an equilibrium position.

Displacement: Displacement is the peak-to-peak distance from a reference position, or equilibrium

point, of an object under test.

Peak to Peak Amplitude: Peak –to-peak amplitude is the displacement of an object (see above). It

can be thought of as the distance from the maximum positive deviation point to the maximum

negative deviation point with respect to an object’s equilibrium position.

Velocity: Velocity is the rate of change of displacement. Velocity is measured in inches/second

(mm/second) units.

Acceleration: Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Units of measure for Acceleration is

feet per second squared (meters per second squared)

Peak Amplitude: Maximum deviation of an object from its equilibrium position.

RMS: Root Mean Square Amplitude (RMS) is the square root of the average of the squared values

of a waveform. The RMS amplitude of vibration is 0.707 times the peak amplitude value The RMS

value of a vibration signal is an important measure of its amplitude.
