PCE Instruments PCE-VT 3850 Accelerometer

Overview

The PCE-VT 3850 is a portable accelerometer designed for mobile vibration measurement and machine condition assessment. It measures vibration displacement (0 to 3.9 mm), velocity (0 to 399.9 mm/s), and acceleration (0 to 399.9 m/s²) using an external sensor. The device features built-in data logging, automatic ISO 10816-3 evaluation, and included analysis software for comprehensive field-based vibration monitoring.
