Vibrock V901-2	Whole Body Vibration Recorder with VDV Vibration Dose Value Measurement	£ 33 a day *

Vibrock - dual channel vibration analyser for continuous level recording or event monitoring
and/or recording VDV vibration dose levels.

Delivered with

a triaxial PPV - peak particle velocity transducer **

a triaxial VDV vibration dose value transducer .

The PPV vibration transducer details are detailed here

VDV - Vibration Dose Value
When using the VDV vibration dose value transducer, the instrument complies with BS 6472 and BS 7482 part 3 with automatic day/night change over. Both 30 second and 1 hour dose levels are recorded and the resultant 16 or 8 hour values calculated in the range 0.025 to 10 m/s^{- 1.75}.

Ideal for whole body vibration measurements when the operator is standing on the vibrating surface.
You can also record the PPV levels etc., on the other channel - transducer supplied.

Vibrock V901 Manufacturer's Specifications

Robust, weatherproof and lightweight - kit also includes PC download software with a cable.

The transducer leads are 1.2 m long, order extension cables if required.

** If you need a second channel for additional PPV measurements, then add an extra PPV transducer and suitable extension cables
