Vibration Monitoring System · Vibration Monitoring
VIBSCANNER 2 is a portable vibration data collector used for condition monitoring of rotating machinery. On board, it is typically carried by engineers or condition-monitoring personnel rather than installed permanently on one machine. Measurements are taken at repeatable points on motors, pumps, fans, gearboxes, bearings and other rotating equipment and then compared with previous routes or diagnostic criteria. The platform can acquire vibration information such as overall values, spectra and time signals, supporting fault identification before a machine reaches a failure state. A triaxial sensor arrangement can reduce the number of separate measurement placements required for a route. The page designation "8ch" should be checked against the actual supplied hardware and software package because public VIBSCANNER 2 documentation generally describes the platform rather than every customer-specific channel configuration. Explosion-protected VIBSCANNER variants exist separately, so hazardous-area suitability must be confirmed from the exact instrument marking rather than assumed from the product family name.

What our service work and the manufacturer documentation say about keeping this model running.
Keep the instrument, sensors and cables under a calibration and functional-check regime appropriate to the vessel's condition-monitoring program. Inspect connectors, mounts and cables before route measurements and clean the machine measurement point before attaching the sensor. Use the same location, direction and mounting method for trend measurements so that changes reflect machine condition rather than measurement technique. Confirm battery condition and data-transfer function before starting a long route, and back up completed route data. Calibration validity, allowable sensor error and firmware compatibility should be verified against current PRUFTECHNIK documentation for the exact instrument and sensor set.
| Factory calibration | typically annual, per accreditation requirement |
|---|---|
| Battery replacement | as needed when field runtime noticeably degrades |
| Firmware/software update | as released by the manufacturer |
| Sensor and cable inspection | before each major vibration survey campaign |
Typical intervals for this design class, not the manufacturer’s figures for your model. The manufacturer’s manual is binding.
| Accelerometer calibration drift | sensitivity is typically expected to stay within a few percent of the calibrated value between annual calibrations - confirm the specific tolerance against Pruftechnik's calibration certificate |

Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.
The instrument itself is not classed equipment, but its readings are commonly used to support condition-based maintenance evidence for machinery under an approved PMS/CBM survey scheme - keep the current calibration certificate available for the surveyor/auditor.
Useful spares and accessories include a compatible sensor cable, approved accelerometer or triaxial sensor, magnetic mounting base, charging equipment and commonly used connector adapters. Protective caps and a spare data or charging cable are inexpensive items that prevent a complete loss of field capability. Replacement sensors should remain traceable to their calibration documentation.
