5-2 Cable and Accelerometer Connection
Important
Make sure that the power of the meter is turn to off before connecting or disconnecting the cable and accelerometer.
Make the connection with the supplied curled cable VA-02, as shown in the illustration as follows. 5-3 Accelerometer Mounting
There are four basic methods of attaching the accelerometer to the measurement object. The accelerometer mounting method greatly affects the contact resonance frequency. Please perform suitable method in consideration of the advantages and disadvantages of the four methods are outlined below.
Contact resonance frequency:
When the contact area between the accelerometer and the measurement object is partially deformed, a kind of spring system is created which vibrates at a frequency that is determined by the mass of the spring and the accelerometer. This is called contact resonance frequency. The contact resonance frequency varies by depending on the accelerometer mounting method. This affects the upper frequency limit of vibration that can be measured. The figure below shows the change in high-frequency response by the accelerometer mounting method. To eliminate the effect of the contact resonance frequency as much as possible, the mounting method must be chosen so that measurement in the desired frequency range are possible. When the frequency range is generally less that about 1/3 of a contact resonance frequency, the flat frequency response is obtained.
An example of change in high-frequency response by the Accelerometer mounting method is shown below. Screw mounting (VA-04): This mounting method is the best vibration characteristics.
The mounting surface must have a surface smoothness of 0.4a ~ 1.6a. Use a fastening torque of 1 ~ 1.5 N-m for the accelerometer and the M5 screw that joins the accelerometer to measurement object.
Adhesive mounting (VA-05): After screw mounting, this method is the next best vibration characteristics.
Instant glue, epoxy glue, or a similar adhesive material can be used.
When choosing the glue take the surface material of the measurement object into consideration. (For details, refer to the instructions of the glue.)
Make sure that the surface of the measurement object is completely clean and free from grease before attaching the Hex flat attachment.
Use a fastening torque of 1 ~ 1.5 N-m to join the accelerometer to the Hex flat attachment.

Flat magnet mounting (VA-01):
Although a magnet can be used when the measurement subject is made of the metal which sticks to a magnet, due to this mounting method the contact resonance frequency will be quite low, this method is mainly suited for vibration measurements in the medium to low frequency range. Use a fastening torque of 1 ~ 1.5N-m to join the accelerometer to the magnet attachment.

CAUTION

The magnet attachment is very powerful (0.8kG ~ 1.0kG). Exercise careful when attaching it to the measurement object, to prevent injuries.
Keep the magnet at least 50cm away from objects such as magnetic cards or other magnetic media, to prevent data loss.
Do not let go of the magnet attachment until it is placed on the surface to be measured. If the magnet attachment slips from your hand, it can exert a strong force on the accelerometer equal to the shock from dropping the unit, which could result in fatal damage.

Verify the accelerometer is properly connected to the meter.
For setup on the surface to be measured, firmly grasp the magnet attachment on both sides.
Carefully bring the accelerometer into contact with the measuring surface while holding it at an angle.
Carefully lower the accelerometer onto the measuring surface until the magnet attachment is in full contact and perpendicular to the surface.

Rod attachment mounting (VA-06): Pressing the accelerometer against the measurement object with a rod is the simplest method, but it is only suitable for measurement below 500Hz, due to the contact resonance frequency will be very low.
This method should only be used if the shape or material of the measurement object precludes the use of the other three mounting methods.
Use a fastening torque of 1 ~ 1.5 N-m to join the accelerometer to the rod attachment.
The rod attachment is made of aluminum alloy (A5052). Lightly grease the screw thread to prevent screw lockup.
