Datastick Vibration Spectrum Analyzers

Palm® PDA-based handheld, easy and portable measurement collection & troubleshooting

Datastick Systems Palm® PDA-based handheld vibration spectrum analyzers are invaluable tools. They give the following advantages:

• PDA hand held computers give you strong computing power with large memory in a small package.
• Enable machine health monitoring and machine troubleshooting,
• Conduct Route inspections or perform field service repair
• No recurring annual maintenance, software or hardware licensing fees.
• Reporting system based on Microsoft® Excel® — open, non-proprietary
• Time & Frequency domains (Acceleration, Velocity, Displacement, & Vibration dB)
• FFT resolution is selectable: 400 / 800 / 1600 / 3200 lines.
• Uses and powers standard ICP-type piezoelectric accelerometers
• Accepts Displacement, Pressure and Voltage Sensors (ICP-type).
• Alarms for Velocity or Displacement domains using ISO or custom levels.

VSA-1215 Vibration Spectrum Analyzer

The VSA-1215 Vibration Spectrum Analyzer is Datastick's high performance vibration analyzer / data collector. It has a maximum frequency capability of 20,000 Hz, with an FFT resolution up to 3,200 lines.

The VSA-1215 hardware module attaches to a powerful Palm TX handheld computer and has a standard BNC connector and low-noise input that accommodates and powers almost any ICP®-type piezoelectric accelerometer. The VSA-series of spectrum analyzers accommodate popular PDAs into the Datastick module. Fits the Palm TX, Treo phone and HP iPAQ (VSA 1225 Series) SD memory cards give you unlimited memory capability.

All VSAs come with troubleshooting tools so you can evaluate peas and waveforms for signs of trouble. Zoom in, inspect the X & Y values of any point or just the Peaks. Check Orders of points or main peaks and find out the differences between peaks.

You can also add notes to saved spectrums or waveforms.

SiteConnex™ - Instant Data Transmission

SiteConnex™ technology allows you to send vibration data using wi-fi or bluetooth to anyone or your EAM/CMMS software. All while the person is standing next to the machine. SiteConnex™ can be used on any VSA platform.

SiteConnex™ technology is available for the -6 & -7 Series analyzers as well.

VSA-1216 Vibration Spectrum Analyzer

The VSA-1216 has all the features and capabilities of the VSA-1215, plus

• The ability to accept a direct signal from an independently powered displacement sensor and display displacement without mathematical integration.

Application: Spot-recording of displacement data at the machine under test or from online systems such as those by Bently Nevada.

• The ability to accept a direct signal from an ICP®-compatible pressure sensor.

Application: Flow-balancing of pump systems to achieve optimum efficiency in initial setup and continuing efficiency in maintenance checks.

VSA-1217 Vibration Spectrum Analyzer

The VSA-1217 has all the features and capabilities of the VSA-1216, plus

• Automatically triggered recording of impact tests with sample rates up to 1 kHz; trigger levels are adjustable for maximum differentiation between the test impact and background noise

Applications: Impact (bump) testing to determine resonant frequencies as well as faults, such as cracking and fatigue, that can change resonant frequencies.

• Initial equipment setup and acceptance.
• Maintenance and reliability checks.

Accessory: Protective Soft Case

The protective soft case as the following features:

• Zippered top gives easy access to the SD card slot
• Extended battery fits inside of soft case, allowing over 16 hours of data collection time
• Constructed of lightweight, tough Denier® Nylon
• Nylon canvas cover secures over plastic access panel when not in use
• Protective foam rubber padding wraps around VSA unit inside case
