Human Vibration Meter VM-30
Human vibration meter to measure vibrations and oscillations at the workplace (ISO 5349, ISO 10326-1, ISO 2631, ISO 7096 to measure the oscillation of hand, arm, body or seat, with measurement value memory, software and PC cable)

The human vibration meter VM-30 has a compact format and is water-resistant. This human vibration meter VM-30 is a universal device used for measurements during the development progress of vibrations as well as practical measurements in the field of health and safety protection at the workplace. Due to the long operational life provided by its battery as well as its compact and water-resistant construction the vibration meter can be used perfectly as a personal dosimeter. We offer three versions of  this device:

Vibration Meter:
- VM-30 for hand and arm according to ISO 5349 with a carrying case (VM-30 HA)
- Vibration Meter VM-30 according to ISO 10326-1/7096 for vibration in seats (VM-30 WB)
- Vibration Meter VM-30 for human body according to ISO 2631 in a carrying case (VM-30 HAWB)

This vibration meter for human vibration possesses a frequency range from 0.4 up to 10 kHz as well as indication of current effective value (RMS), the maximum effective value (MTVV), the interval effective value, the vibration dose value (VDV), the vibration total value (aw), the peak value, the maximum peak value and crest factor (peak). These values are based on the determination of the vibration acceleration, vibration velocity and vibration displacement. Actions to reduce vibrations on the basis of the received data can be performed with this human vibration meter. This will help to adhere guidelines of health and safety protection and help protect the welfare of workers. At this link you can find an overview of the different types of vibration meters that you may need. For further information about the Field Strength Meter FMX-003, please read the following technical data or call our Hotline: +44 (0)2380 987030. Our engineers and technicians will gladly advise you with the Human Vibration Meter VM-30 or any other product in the field of regulation and control or scales and balances of PCE Instruments.

Information about the Human Body Vibrations

Hand and Arm Vibration

The daily exposure limit value is standardized on 5 m/s ² with a relative time of 8 h. The trigger  daily value is standardised on 2.5 m/s ² according to the norms with a relative time of 8 h. The assessment of the proportion of exposure to hand and arm vibration is obtained by calculating the daily exposure time of 8 hours on the standard  A (8). It is known as the square root of the sum of squares (total value) of the current values of acceleration with frequency assessment in three orthogonal directions ahwx, ahwy, ahwz (ISO 5349-1:2001).

Body vibration (whole body vibration)
The assessment of the proportion of exposure to whole body vibration is obtained by calculating the daily exposure A (8). It is known as the constant acceleration equivalent to a period of 8 h, calculated as the higher of current values or the highest value of the vibration dose values (VDV) of the accelerations with frequency value in the three orthogonal directions (1.4 awx, 1.4 awy, awz for a worker sitting  or standing/ISO 2631-1.

The corresponding ISO standards may be obtained from the publisher or organisation that collects relevant DIN norms.

Display

Depending on the type of connected sensor, you can see 1, 2 or 3 contiguous values. Below you can see the channel designation (X/Y/Z) and the unit of measurement and display mode.
