OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
USB VIBRATION LOGGER "DL-131G"
ITEM NO. 41 93 29
INTENDED USE
The battery-operated data logger "DL-131G" is used to measure and record blows and vibra-
tions. The measuring data is recorded automatically at adjustable intervals from 50 ms up to
12 h. The measurement takes place via a 3-axis recording. See also imprint on the battery
compartment "5".
A space-saving installation by mounting on the wall is also possible. The data logger is con-
nected to a computer like a standard USB data carrier and is read there. The analysis is done
graphically using the software included in the delivery. Data export for table evaluation is also
possible. In addition, the recorded data can be saved for further processing.
A long-life lithium battery supplies the power. This ensures a very long recording time.
The data logger must not be operated when it is open, i.e. with an open battery compartment
or when the battery compartment cover is missing. Measuring under adverse ambient condi-
tions such as dust and fl ammable gasses, vapours or solvents is not admissible.
Always observe the safety instructions and all other information included in these operating
instructions.
