1.3 Symbols Used
This document contains symbols for the identification of warning messages and of informative
messages.
Warning Messages
You will find warning messages, whenever dangers may arise from your actions. It is mandatory
that you observe these warning messages for your personal safety and in order to avoid prop-
erty damage.
Depending on the risk level, the warning messages are displayed in descending order as fol-
lows:
Informative Symbols
Action
1. This symbol indicates a paragraph with instructions. You are prompted to perform an action or
a sequence of actions.
1.4 Intended Use
The vibration sensor is used exclusively for measuring mechanical vibrations on machines and
mechanical systems. Use is only permitted within the specifications stated in the datasheet.
Typical applications are monitoring fans, ventilators, electric motors, pumps, centrifuges, sepa-
rators, generators, turbines, and similar oscillating mechanical systems. Read through this
manual carefully. Familiarize yourself with the device before installing, mounting, or operating.
Some product versions are suitable for use in hazardous areas. The relevant national or inter-
national directives and the instruction manual for the product must be followed.
Always operate the device as described in these instructions to ensure that the device and con-
nected systems function correctly. The protection of operating personnel and the plant is guar-
anteed only if the device is operated in accordance with its intended use.
Danger!
This symbol indicates an imminent danger.
Non-observance will result in personal injury or death.
Warning!
This symbol indicates a possible fault or danger.
Non-observance may cause personal injury or serious property damage.
Caution!
This symbol indicates a possible fault.
Non-observance could interrupt the device and any connected systems and plants, or result in
their complete failure.
Note
This symbol brings important information to your attention.

Introduction
1.5 General safety instructions
Responsibility for planning, assembly, commissioning, operation, maintenance,
and dismounting lies with the plant operator.
Installation and commissioning of all devices may be performed only by trained and qualified
personnel.
It is dangerous for the user to make changes and/or repairs. Additionally, doing so voids the
warranty and excludes the manufacturer from any liability. In the event of any serious errors,
stop using the device. Secure the device against unintended operation. To have the device
repaired, return it to your local Pepperl+Fuchs representative or your sales center.
Note
Disposal
Electronic waste is dangerous. When disposing of the equipment, observe the current statutory
requirements in the relevant country of use and local regulations.

2 Product Description
2.1 Use and Application
Vibration sensors from the VIM6* product family determine the vibration magnitude using the
root mean square (RMS) formation. This form of quadratic average determination or pre-filter-
ing allows precise statements to be made about trends relating to the status of the application.
Depending on the product versions, the vibration magnitude is determined either as the vibra-
tion acceleration (in g rms), as the vibration velocity (in mm/s), or as the vibration velocity and
temperature (in °C).
Some product versions are suitable for use in hazardous areas. The relevant national or inter-
national directives and the instruction manual for the product must be followed.
Vibration sensors from the VIM6* product family always have two temperature readings: the
measuring head temperature TM and the ambient temperature TA.
•The measuring head temperature TM describes the maximum permissible temperature
range directly at the location where the sensor is mounted. The machine surface to be
monitored must therefore not exceed or fall below the specified measuring head tempera-
ture TM for the sensor.
•The ambient temperature TA describes the maximum permissible temperature range for
the ambient atmosphere in which the sensor is used.
The two temperatures are related as described below. The measuring head temperature TM is
always permitted to be a higher temperature than the corresponding ambient temperature Ta in
the upper range. This means that the machine to be monitored is permitted to heat up to the
upper limit of TM and therefore contribute to the heating of the ambient atmosphere. However,
the resulting ambient temperature must not exceed the upper limit of TA.
Example
Temperature specifications:
•-35 °C TM 125 °C
•-35 °C TA 60 °C
The machine to be monitored must not exceed 125 °C at the location where the sensor is
mounted, while the ambient atmosphere in which the sensor is used must not exceed 60 °C.

Product Description
2.2 Vibration Monitoring
2.2.1 Vibration Velocity Operating Range
The operating range of the vibration velocity is not constant over the entire measuring range. It
always depends on the current frequency at which the vibration sensor is vibrating.
Essentially, the higher the current frequency, the lower the detectable vibration velocity. This
can lead to a significantly high frequency, which can then lead to the current operating range of
the sensor in this state being smaller than the specified measuring range.
The maximum detectable operating range can be derived from the maximum detectable accel-
eration. This is 16.5 g (161.8 m/s2) for the entire frequency range.
The maximum measurable vibration velocity results from the following physical correlation:
The following figure depicting the vibration monitoring shows the operating range, which is lim-
ited by the maximum measurable vibration velocity in mm/s depending on the frequency. The
area above the curve shows the operating range that cannot be measured when recording the
vibration velocity, because the frequency is too high. The sensor outputs the vibration velocity
value that can only just be detected.
Example for a version with a measuring range of 128 mm/s:
•Assumption: Application vibrates at 80 mm/s at 400 Hz
•Sensor output: 64 mm/s
This is the vibration velocity value that can only just be detected at this frequency.
