The VEXO Hand Arm Vibration meter measures the actual vibration from hand-held equipment, while the HAVi devices measure the vibration time and calculate the HSE exposure points.
Applications
Main Features
Hire Kit Includes
With the VEXO sensor attached to the tool you can measure the true levels of vibration that the worker is exposed to.
A HAVi monitor can then be attached to each tool to monitor the actual exposure time, avoiding the fact that workers often overestimate the time that the tool is running.
This kit is intended for the measurement of hand-arm vibration levels and to the monitor the amount of vibration that workers are exposed to.
The VEXO (GA2006H) is fully compliant with ISO 8041:2005, the standard that specifies the performance and tolerance limits for instruments used in assessing the human response to vibration. It is also the correct grade of meter for making measurements to ISO 5349:2001, the standard for the measurement and evaluation of human exposure to hand-transmitted vibration.
The HAVi monitor can measure the total vibration exposure from the vibration magnitude provided by the tool manufacturer, or measured using the VEXO.
If you only want to measure the vibration levels, or only want to measure the vibration exposure based on the manufacturer's figures then here are the options:
1. Attach accelerometer to tool.
Must be securely attached.
Mounting block and attachments are included in the kit.
2. Start the Measurement.
Press the OK/Run/Stop key to start the measurement.
3. View or Download Results
View the results on-screen or download to the software, which is included in the hire kit.
1. Setup
Set the m/s2 value for the piece of machinery.
2. Attach
Attach the HAVi to the tool using the strap or cable ties provided.
The monitor senses the tool operating. It starts and stops automatically, accurately recording the length of time it operates and calculating the vibration exposure.
The exposure is displayed clearly as HSE points. These can be easily reset when moving between tools or when switching users.
Log books are provided in the kit.
