Frequently Asked Questions - VPP 16 PCE Instruments
What does the VPP 16 measure?
The VPP 16 is a portable vibration meter that measures acceleration, velocity, and displacement in mm/s, m/s², and mm respectively, to assess machine condition.
How do I switch between measurement units?
Press the MODE button to cycle through acceleration (m/s²), velocity (mm/s), and displacement (mm). The active unit is shown on the display.
Can I use the VPP 16 on rotating machinery?
Yes, it is ideal for vibration analysis on motors, pumps, fans, and other rotating equipment for predictive maintenance.
How often should I calibrate the device?
Calibration is recommended every 12 months or after any drop or impact, to ensure accuracy remains within the rated ±5%.
What type of battery does it require?
It uses two AA 1.5V alkaline batteries. Replace them when the battery icon flashes or the display dims.
Is the VPP 16 waterproof?
No, it is not waterproof. It should only be used in dry environments and protected from moisture and dust ingress.
How do I clean the sensor tip?
Clean the probe tip with a soft, lint-free cloth after each use. For stubborn residue, use a mild isopropyl alcohol solution.
Does the device have data logging capability?
No, the VPP 16 does not have internal memory or data logging. You must record readings manually or use an external data logger.
What is the correct way to hold the pen during measurement?
Hold the pen perpendicular to the surface and apply constant pressure (about 10 N) to the probe tip against the measuring point.
Can I order spare parts for the VPP 16?
Yes, replacement sensor tips, batteries, and housing components are available. Contact PCE Instruments directly or an authorized distributor.
