You might maintain a small facility or a dozen large plants. You might be a field service organization, an independent contractor, or a lone consultant. No matter where you work, no matter how you work, the exclusive Datastick SiteConnex VSA-2215 system opens the door to increased efficiency and cost savings while you maintain and improve machine reliability.

Datastick® SiteConnex collaboration technology enables you to connect any inspection site to any decision site in seconds.

Now, any inspector at any site can take vibration measurements on this full-featured vibration anlyzer / data collector, view them on a sharp color screen, and then email the vibration data to anyone else: a plant manager, an analyst at a central facility, a consultant—anyone. Right away.

And, using the same handheld system, you can talk about the data on the phone—even make conference calls—and get written information, instructions, repair authorizations, procedures, test result confirmations, or anyother information you need verbally over the phone or in the form of email or text massages. Immediately.

No going back to the office. No lugging a laptop around. Response time is dramatically improved, redundant trips are all but eliminated, and the time and cost savings are immense.

This is the future. It’s starting now.

Description

The VSA-2215 Vibration Spectrum Analyzer is a high-performance handheld vibration analyzer / data collector. It has a maximum frequency of 20,000 Hz and FFT resolution of up to 3,200 lines.

The VSA-2215 hardware module attaches to a powerful Palm® Treo™ smartphone and has a standard BNC connector and low-noise input that accommodates and powers almost any ICP®-type piezoelectric accelerometer. The VSA-2215 includes Datastick SpectrumSC handheld software, an integrated handheld email application, and Datastick Reporting System™ PC software. 

The VSA-2215 records and displays vibration FFT spectra in acceleration, velocity, and displacement, as well as acceleration waveforms. It also records and displays overall vibration with color-coded ISO (or custom) alert levels. AND it has the unique capability of enabling the user to email data files—including waveform and FFT spectra—directly from the handheld. For a full description of its capabilities, see the description of Datastick SpectrumSC handheld software.

You Control the Power

The VSA-2215 hardware module contains its own rechargeable Li-ion battery and advanced power management capabilities that put you in full control of sensor power — allowing you to determine the exact amount of power output to the sensor. You can easily go all day on a single charge.

An optional 4800 mA/h rechargeable external bettey pack is available if you need more power, and it gives you the added benefit of powering BOTH the VSA-2215 module and the Palm Treo smartphone. For more information, please see the full description of the VSA-2215 module.

Extremely Low Noise

The VSA-2215 does an exceptional job of finding low-level, low-frequency peaks. A typical noise floor at 4 Hz on a velocity spectrum made with an accelerometer is 0.0013 inches per second in the 2 g input range. If you need even lower noise, the VSA-2215 accepts ICP-type velocity sensors as well as accelerometers.

Sharp Color Display and Secure Storage

The Palm Treo has a bright, razor-sharp 320 x 320 pixel screen. The Palm Treo also features 60 MB of nonvolatile memory which keeps your data safe even if the battery drains all the way (which is highly unlikely, due to its efficient power management).

Virtually Unlimited Storage and Communication Flexibility

The VSA-2215 provides virtually unlimited, extremely secure storage capacity. In addition to the Palm Treo's handheld's 60 MB of nonvolatile memory — which will hold approximately 1500 spectra or waveforms — the VSA-2215 also lets you record data directly to a Secure Digital (SD) memory card, which you can insert into the handheld computer. The VSA-2215 supports SD cards of up to 2 GB capacity, and you can use as many cards as you like — you'll never run out of space.

At the end of the day, simply insert the SD card into a card reader on your PC to export the handheld data to your PC, or you can use the Palm handheld's HotSync® feature single to export data to your PC with a touch of a button. With another couple of mouse-clicks, your data is imported into Datastick Reporting System software on the PC for analysis, trending, reporting, and archiving.

And of course, before the day is over, you can email a file to an analyst, consultant, manager, supervisor, or client and get an answer back in the form of a phone call, emnail, or text message while you're still at the site.

Compact size, high performance, and the simple operation of the Datastick Spectrum software make the VSA-1215 an excellent vibration analyzer / data collector for route-based inspections and demanding troubleshooting and field service applications.

Rugged Enclosure Option

For added protection from rough handling and the environment, the optional RC-4 Rugged Enclosure provides a water-tight, dustproof, impact-resistant shell that still allows access to the touch-screen controls.
