VBDL100

Vibration Datalogger

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Triplett Model VBDL100. The

model VBDL100 can measure and record shock and vibration

(acceleration) readings over its ± 18g measurement range. This device

will record 3‐axis g‐force and related peaks to provide a history of shock

and vibration conditions. The real time clock provides time stamps for all

data.

The user can easily configure the logging rate, high/low alarm and start‐

mode, and download the stored data by plugging the VBDL100 into a

PC's USB port and running the supplied PC software. Measurement

data can be plotted, printed and exported for use with other applications

such as word processors and spreadsheets. The data logger is supplied

with a long‐life 1000 hour lithium battery.

The VBDL100 memory uses a 4MB Flash device that can hold 168042

Normal recordings or 112028 Motion Detection recordings per axis

Mounting the VBDL100

The VBDL100 fits securely in the supplied mounting pedestal. Unscrew the

pedestal latch andsnap the VBDL100 into the pedestal. Secure the latch and

follow one of the mounting methods below. There are three mounting

methods for affixing the pedestal to the area under test:

1. Magnetically: Powerful magnets are built into the rear of the

pedestal

2. Adhesive: Use glue (not supplied) to affix the pedestal to the area

under test

3. Screws: Three mounting holes are provided on the pedestal for

screw mounting (screws not supplied)

LED Status Indication

*To save power, the VBDL100’s LED flashing cycle can be changed via the supplied

software.

**To save power, alarm LEDs for temperature can be disabled via the

supplied software. NOTE: When the battery is low, all operations will be

disabled automatically.

NOTE: Logging automatically stops when the battery weakens (logged data will be

retained).

Datalogging Software Program

INSTALLING THE DATALOGGER SOFTWARE

Install the supplied WindowsTM PC Datalogger Software by placing the supplied program

disk in the PC’s CD‐ROM drive. If the installation program does not automatically open

and provide on‐screen prompts (as shown in diagram below), open and browse the CD‐

ROM drive, then find and double‐click on the SETUP.EXE file included on the program

disk. Follow the on‐screen prompts as shown below to complete the installation.

Before running the datalogger software, please connect the VBDL100 to the PC and

install the USB Driver software as described in the next section.

INSTALLING THE USB DRIVER

The PC will prompt for the USB Driver installation immediately after the main software

program is installed. A window similar to the one shown below will appear to prompt for

the installation. Simply click INSTALL to continue.

To install the driver manually, plug the VBDL100 into an available USB port on the PC. If

this is the first time that the VBDL100 is connected to the particular port on the PC, the

following screen will appear:

Make sure the program disk is still in the PC CD‐ROM drive. Select the ‘recommended’

installation and follow the on‐screen prompts to complete the driver installation. If this is

a repeat connection of the VBDL100 to the USB port, the driver installation process will

be automatically skipped.

RUNNING THE DATALOGGER SOFTWARE

With the VBDL100 inserted in the PC’s USB port, double‐click the program icon (located

on the desktop) to launch the program. The main software screen will appear.

Instructions for using the Datalogger Software are contained in the HELP Utility available

from the HELP menu in the software program. Please read the HELP Utility thoroughly in

order to fully understand the software and the related functionality of the VBDL100.

Note: When the VBDL100 is connected to the USB port, its battery discharges at a

higher rate than normal. To conserve battery life, do not leave the VBDL100

connected to the USB port for a prolonged period of time.

Basic Datalogger Operation

This section covers only the starting and stopping of the Datalogger’s recording

functions. All other information is provided in the HELP utility within the software

program.

1. Configure the Datalogger’s sample rate, motion detection threshold, record

mode, LED flash cycle and more using the supplied software program. Refer to

the instructions included in the software program’s HELP utility to configure the

datalogger and to otherwise use the software.

2. If AUTO start is selected in the software, the datalogger will begin logging data

the moment the software window is closed. If MANUAL is selected, press and

hold the datalogger start/stop button until the green LED flashes; the

datalogger LED flashes periodically (flash interval time selectable in software)

indicating that the datalogger is recording.

3. To stop datalogging, press and hold the start/stop button while the unit is

datalogging. The red LED will quickly flash indicating that datalogging has

stopped. Refer to the LED status table earlier in this manual for interpreting the

LED flash information.

4. Refer to the software HELP utility for transferring the data from the logger to

the PC.

1g OFFSET

The axis (or combination of axis) parallel to the earth surface will indicate the 1g

force related to gravitational force.

Battery Replacement

The VBDL100 does not lose its stored readings when the battery expires or when the

battery is replaced. The data logging process will however be stopped and cannot be

re‐started until the battery has been replaced and the logged data has been

downloaded to PC.

The battery life is rated for approx. 1000 hours. If in doubt, replace the battery before

logging critical data. Use only 3.6V lithium batteries. Before replacing the battery,

remove the datalogger from the PC.

Note: When the VBDL100 is connected to the USB port, its battery discharges at

a higher rate than normal. To conserve battery life, do not leave the

VBDL100 connected to the USB port for a prolonged period of time.

Remove the two Phillips screws identified with the two smaller arrows in the

diagram below.

Slide the battery compartment

cover in the direction of the

larger arrow.

Replace the battery with one of

the same type (3.6V lithium, ½ AA 1.0Ah, Saft LS‐14250 or equiv).

Close the battery compartment and tighten with the two screws.

WARNING: Handle lithium batteries carefully, observe warnings on battery

casing.

Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.
