Operating the VIBROCONTROL 1500  

VIBROCONTROL 1500 

VC1500EN / C103845.002 / V 09 / 14.04.2015 

- 45 - 

With 

L1BC, L2BC, L1temp 

and

 L2temp 

no relay response lag time

 

for the 

limit value violation is preselectable.  Signaling  of these events takes place 

immediately after violation of the set limit values. 

 

 

 

Fig. 41: Limit settings 

 
With further paging through the menu points using the buttons 

 and 

 the 

display with setting options for the measuring range and input filter frequency 

are reached. 

 

Fig. 42: Setting for the measuring range and highpass corner frequency 
 

Possible measuring range:

  

10; 20; 40; 50; 100; 200 

mm/s

 (0.5; 1,0; 2; 2.5; 5.0; 10.0 

in/s

 ) 

A plausibility check when changing the measurement range with respect to 

the pre-set limit values is  not performed. This means, for example, it is 

possible to set the measuring range smaller than the limit values. The correct 

configuration is the sole responsibility of the user. 
 

Possible high pass corner frequency:

  

1, 3, 10 Hz.  Please note that through  selection of the corner frequency all 

vibrations with frequencies lower than the selected corner frequency will be 

suppressed. 
 

Note: 

When a high pass  corner frequency is edited it is necessary to carry 

out a reset of the instrument.  This happens automatically when the 

selected changes to the settings are stored.
