MODEL VM-300

Columbia introduces the Model VM-300 Vibration Meter, a general-purpose vibration measuring instrument for periodic routine vibration checks of industrial machinery and general field use where portability and ease of use are required. Model VM-300 operates from a rugged, precision piezoelectric accelerometer and incorporates a charge amplifier input stage for stability and minimizing errors. Operation is controlled by an internal integrated micro-controller, acting under direction of a splash-resistant 7-key membrane keypad. The sensor probe contains a Columbia Research Laboratories piezoelectric accelerometer which outputs an electric charge proportional to the instantaneous value of the applied acceleration. This charge signal is communicated to the VM-300 instrument through a low-noise coaxial cable.
