Portable Vibration Meter
5500

Velocity Measurements - Intrisically Safe

Carrying case (included)

SEISMIC PRODUCTS

Easily check vibration levels on your machines with
this compact and simple to operate vibration meter.
These economical units are ideal for obtaining spot
measurements of machine vibration. Pressing the ON
button activates the unit. A vibration reading is then
obtained by simply holding the probe tip against the
machine and observing the reading on the LCD indicator.
This vibration meter is available with English or metric
units, and with RMS or Derived Peak amplitude detection.
Pressing and holding the ON button will “freeze” the
vibration reading such that the unit can be removed
from the test point without losing the reading. Releasing
the button returns the unit to normal operation.

ATEX

Power is supplied by a standard 9V battery. A symbol

Optional accessories include a 10” probe extension for
difficult to reach areas.
