InnoMeter® HVM 5349:2001
  • Reliable user guide through the measurement of hand-arm vibrations
  • Contains measurement, data storage, assessment, archiving

Application

For measurements of human exposure to hand-transmitted vibrations according to EN ISO 5349:2001 and the directive 2002/44/EC.

If hand held machines or workpieces transmit strong vibrations to the operator, a decreased performance and even diseases in blood vessels, nerves, bones, joints, muscles or the connective tissue might develop. For this reason, divers guidelines stipulate measurements acc. to EN ISO 5349, which determines the impact on the human hand-arm-system.

With the InnoMeter® HVM 5349, these measurements are carried out conforming to standards. Piezoelectric sensors are mounted on the handholds of hand held power tools. Data aquisition devices (model InnoBeamer) accept the sensor data and transmit it to the InnoMeter® HVM 5349 via the USB interface.

Advantages

Compared to usual instruments, the InnoMeter® HVM 5349 possesses a user guide. The user is guided through measurement from the choice of the measurement mode to the evaluation of the measurement’s results. Even users who do not deal with HVM measurements very often can be sure to fulfill all details of the standard.

Usual instruments only fulfill one part of the standard: The acquisition of the parameters. Wrong decisions can happen easily. See the difference:

  InnoMeter® HVM 5349 Usual instruments
Before measurement
  • Easy choice of the measurement mode from a list, all necessary settings are carried automatically acc. to the standard
  • The user has to know which parameter and which filter has to be selected for the respective measurement mode.
During measurement
  • Graphical drawing for the correct allocation of axes.
  • Measurement of 1 axis or 3 axes simultaneously, at the same time monitoring of the levels as well as monitoring of the signal's shape acc. to the standard
  • Clear and colored indication of interim and final values during the measurement.
  • Which axis belongs to which direction?
    Without knowing the standards, errors can occur easily.
  • Users mostly cannot monitor the signal's shape simultaneously and cannot be sure that the measurement was valid.
  • Single-colored indication of only few values in a small display.
After measurement
  • The measured values are saved in the data storage. Should there be a critical parameter, it is signaled and explained.
  • For evaluation, the measurements can be sorted and combined by Drag&Drop. The A(8) value is calculated immediately.
  • Not all instruments offer data storage. If they do so, necessary additional information acc. to the standard is not available.
  • In the instrument, the evaluation is confusing or impossible. Alternatively, an intricate data transfer has to be carried out. Whether the PC software reaches the flexibility of VibroMatrix®. may be doubted.


Properties

The InnoMeter® HVM 5349 was developed especially acc. to the specifications of EN ISO 5349:2001. It is able to carry out all measurement modes described in the standard, e.g. the simultaneous measurement in all 3 axes or the measurement in the main axis and weighting of the other two axes.

In addition to the indication of the vibration values of the single axes and the vibration total value, the complete calculation of the daily vibration exposure is integrated. Measured data can be allocated to exposure segments flexibly. The A(8) value is calculated immediately. Additional software or complicated data transfer is not necessary.

A graphical drawing of the correct allocation of axes for the gripping hand eases the multiaxial measurement acc. to the standards.

The user guide makes the operation easy and clear so that the complete functionality of an instrument for a measurement and assessment conforming to standards is available.
