Frequently Asked Questions - IVE 320 PCE

How do I power on the PCE IVE 320?

Press the ON/OFF button once to turn on the device. The LCD will light up briefly. To turn off, press and hold the button for about 2 seconds.

What measurement units are available?

The IVE 320 can display velocity in mm/s, acceleration in m/s², and displacement in mm. Use the VEL/ACC/DISP button to cycle through modes.

How do I replace the battery?

Slide the battery cover off on the back of the device. Replace the 9V battery (6LR61 or 6F22) with a new one, observing polarity. Close the cover securely.

What is the auto power-off setting?

The meter will automatically shut down after 5 minutes of inactivity to save battery. To disable this feature, press and hold the HOLD button while powering on.

How do I calibrate the IVE 320?

The device is factory calibrated. For recalibration, contact PCE Instruments or an authorized service center. Do not attempt to adjust internal potentiometers.

Can I use the meter to measure bearing vibration?

Yes, the IVE 320 is suitable for measuring vibration on rotating machinery including bearings. Place the probe tip firmly on the measurement point and read the value.

What does the 'MAX' function do?

Press the MAX/MIN button briefly to enter MAX mode. The display shows the highest measured value since entering this mode. Press again for MIN mode or hold to exit.

How should I clean the device?

Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Keep the probe tip clean.

Why is the display showing 'OL'?

'OL' indicates overload: the measured vibration exceeds the maximum range. Check that the measurement range is appropriate and reduce the vibration level or use a different sensor.

Where can I download the user manual?

The user manual can be downloaded for free from notice-facile.com or the official PCE Instruments website. It includes detailed instructions, specifications, and safety information.

1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a telescopic camera PCE-IVE 320 from PCE Instruments.

The telescopic camera allows the user to get new insights of the places that are difficult to access or are located high. Due to the telescopic stick of up to 2.3 m, the camera is ideal for maintenance and inspections. With the help of the device, you can detect the problem spots. Use in the dark is also possible due to the LEDs that are attached to the camera head. A very useful feature of the telescopic camera is that you can make videos and take pictures using the digital recorder. Thus, they can be used for the analysis later.

9 Disposal

For the disposal of batteries in the EU, the 2006/66/EC directive of the European Parliament applies. Due to the contained pollutants, batteries must not be disposed of as household waste. They must be given to collection points designed for that purpose.

In order to comply with the EU directive 2012/19/EU we take our devices back. We either re-use them or give them to a recycling company which disposes of the devices in line with law.

For countries outside the EU, batteries and devices should be disposed of in accordance with your local waste regulations.
