Metrix 5500 Bedienungsanleitung
5500 PORTABLE VIBRATION METER
Installaon Manual
M8224• REV G July 2017
Compact and simple to operate, these
economical meters are ideal for obtaining
spot measurements of machine vibraon.
Momentarily pressing the red pushbuon
acvates the meter. A vibraon reading is
then obtained by simply holding the probe
p against the machine and observing the
reading on the LCD indicator. Comparisons
to a severity chart, included in this manual,
indicate the severity condion.
The 5500 provides readings in Velocity.
Pressing and holding the pushbuon will
“freeze” the vibraon reading so that the
meter can be removed from the test point
without losing the reading. Releasing the
pushbuon returns the meter to normal op-
eraon. The meter automacally turns o
30 seconds aer the pushbuon is released.
The 5500 vibraon meter is available with
either English or Metric displays.
Power is supplied by a standard 9V baery.
A symbol appears on the LCD indicator
when the baery is low. The instrument
housing is made of high impact polymer.
A Cordura® carrying case with belt loop and
baery are included. Oponal accessories
include a 10” probe extension for dicult to
reach areas.

ACCESSORIES
Model 2182 Probe Extension
254mm (10”) long extension slips on vibra-
on meter probe for measurements in
ght quarters.
APPLICATION NOTE: RMS vs. PEAK Velocity Readings
The 5500 vibraon meter uses a true RMS detector. As indicated in “HOW TO ORDER”, mod-
els are oered with velocity vibraon readings scaled aer detecon for RMS or PEAK units.
The majority of the portable Velocity vibraon meters that are purchased are calibrated
for PEAK measurement. Most North American vibraon level acceptance charts, including
METRIX, and permanent vibraon instruments with indicators display velocity readings in
PEAK units.
If your chart and/or permanent instruments display RMS values (common in Europe) RMS
calibraon is recommended.

1.0 Operaon
NOTE: The Model 5500 is cered to be intrinsically safe for use in gas group IIC. The tem-
perature classicaon is T3 (200°C) with Tambient = 60°C.
1. Momentarily press the red pushbuon to acvate the measuring circuit.
2. Hold the unit against the vibrang surface with just enough force to prevent chaering.
Allow a few moments for the digital indicator to sele. The nameplate is marked to
indicate whether the reading is in peak or rms units.
3. Pressing and holding the pushbuon will “freeze” the vibraon reading, so that the unit
can be removed from the test point without losing the reading. Releasing the pushbut-
ton returns the unit to normal operaon.
4. A greater than full scale reading (over-range) is indicated by the presence of two deci-
mal points. Any reading with two decimal points should be considered to be in error.
5. The power will automacally turn o aer 30 seconds unless the pushbuon is pressed
again, which restarts the 30 second power on mer.

2.0 Changing the Baery
1. The unit is powered by a 9V alkaline dry cell. Depending upon the duty cycle of opera-
on, a fresh baery should last about six months. When the baery voltage drops
below 5 volts, a baery symbol will appear on the LCD display, indicang that the bat-
tery must be replaced. Vibraon readings may be inaccurate when the baery symbol
is displayed.
2. Loosen the two screws that retain the cover to gain access to the baery. Replace the
baery with ONLY an alkaline 9V dry cell, such as:
Duracell MN1604
Panasonic 6AM6
Energizer EN22
Note: One of these baery types must be used to maintain the intrinsically safe rang.
Cauon: Do not install a lithium baery.
The user will nullify the intrinsically safety cercaon of the Model 5500 if any baery
other than an alkaline type is used. The baery must only be changed in a safe area.
The user may not replace the socket head cap screws securing the case cover of the Model
5500 with another type.
