Frequently Asked Questions - VR 10 PCE Instruments
How do I charge the VR 10 vibration data logger?
Connect the device to a USB port (computer or 5V charger) using the supplied USB cable. The LED turns red while charging and green when fully charged. A full charge takes about 3 hours.
What parameters can the VR 10 measure?
The VR 10 measures vibration acceleration, velocity, and displacement along three axes (X, Y, Z). It calculates RMS, peak and frequency domain values.
How do I set the sampling rate and recording duration?
Using the included PCE VR 10 software, you can select a sampling rate from 1 Hz to 5 kHz, and define a recording duration or use the maximum storage capacity of the internal memory or microSD card.
Can I use the VR 10 outdoors?
The device has an IP65 protection class, meaning it is dust-tight and protected against low-pressure water jets. It is suitable for outdoor use in dry or damp conditions, but avoid prolonged submersion.
How do I transfer recorded data to my computer?
Connect the VR 10 to your computer via the USB cable and open the PCE VR 10 software. The software will detect the logger and allow you to download the raw data for analysis and export.
Does the VR 10 come with a calibration certificate?
The VR 10 is factory calibrated, but an ISO 17025 calibration certificate is available as an option. If you need recalibration after a certain period, you can request it from PCE Instruments.
How do I mount the VR 10 on a machine?
The device can be mounted using the magnetic base or the 1/4 inch screw hole. Ensure the contact surface is clean and flat to avoid vibration measurement errors.
What does the blinking red LED mean during operation?
A blinking red LED indicates that the set alarm threshold has been exceeded. If the logger is in alarm mode, it will also record an alarm marker in the data stream.
How long will the battery last during continuous logging?
At a typical sampling rate of 1 kHz, the battery lasts approximately 8 hours. At lower sampling rates (e.g., 1 Hz), the battery life extends up to 24 hours.
Can I replace the battery myself?
The battery is a user-replaceable 3.7V lithium polymer cell. Open the battery compartment on the back, disconnect the old battery, and connect the new one. Rechargeable battery must be the same type and capacity.
