DataMite Selection Chart
The DataMite 1000 Series is a group of measurement instruments that are fast, accurate, simple-to-use and can be tailored to your application. These reliable meters measure vibration, temperature, acoustic emission, ultrasonics, Censorsound™ or the combination of these that fits your specific needs.
VIBRATION is the periodic movement of a mass (or “rotor”) that is not balanced. Vibration results from rolling and rubbing contact between machine parts and from out-of-balance forces in rotating and reciprocating parts. Vibration data is often presented as “velocity”, “displacement or acceleration”.
a. “Velocity” is the time required for the vibration movement to occur. It is often the best indication of the potential for damage when vibration in rotating machinery is measured. Velocity is read in inch/sec, or cm/sec., PK or RMS.
b. “Displacement” is the distance that the rotor moves. Displacement is read in MIL’S (one MIL is equal to .001”) or Micron PK-PK.
c. “Acceleration” is rate of increase or decrease in speed of vibration. Read ACCL in g’s/sec2 or m/sec2.
TEMPERATURE is the degree of hotness or coldness of a mass. Temperature is read in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) or Celsius (°C).
ACOUSTIC EMISSION is the energy released from the molecular structure of material under stress (for example, material that is bent, stretched, sheared or abraded). This energy is measured in decibels by the DataMite over a range of 0 to 60 dB. The frequency of acoustic emission is well above that of audible sound or vibration.
CENSORSOUND™ is a unique sensor capable of detecting frequencies between 40Hz -18kHz and sending to a headset for listening. Read in CS units.
IS Intrinsically Safe instrumentation reduces the risk of explosions in Hazardous environments. Intrinsic Safety (IS) requirements for instrumentation limit the electrical and thermal energies to levels insufficient to ignite an explosive atmosphere. Certification: by Canadian Standards Association (CSA) has certified designated instruments to International Electrotechnical commission (IEC) Standard CEI/IEC 60079-11:1999-02 and CAN/CSA-E60079-11: 02 for Class 1 Zone 0 IIC. Verify certification availability prior to ordering.

| FUNCTIONS AND FEATURES 1. Acoustic Emission (A.E.) detects Hi frequency plastic waves that move through materials. The waves are caused by stress in the material. Stress is produced by High Velocity Fluids passing thru such defects as cracked seats, unseated valves, collapsed lines, failed steam traps and other turbulent conditions. Stress is also present in Bearings or roller elements which are misaligned, improperly lubricated or failing. A.E. is well above the human hearing range of frequencies.
2. CensorsoundTM amplified audible sound from within equipment. Impervious to ambient noise. The really sensitive probe can detect bearings, steam, condensate, turbulence and other phenomenon for audible analysis. 3. Ultrasound is a high frequency sound wave in the 20 Kilohertz to 60 Kilohertz range that are translated down to the human hearing range. Primarily for leaks it is also used on Bearings, gearing, steam/condensate traps and mechanical linkages. 4. Temperature High speed, and rugged surface probes can check bearings, steam traps or any hot surface quickly and accurately. The probe is extendable to 16" using two extensions(optional). 5. Three continuous "Battery monitors" insure users of good data and extended use. a. The first monitor warns users when the Battery needs recharging by lighting a BAT symbol in the display b. The second monitor turns the instrument off if the battery level continues to drop thus preserving the integrity of the data. c. The third monitor is an Energy miser which will automatically turn the DataMite off after five minutes of non use. 6 Averaging A 3 ½ Digit numeric display can be averaged more than six seconds and frozen to give operators the RMS average of selected function variances. This prevents digital blurs often accompanied by fast moving numeric values. 7. Auto ranging Numeric Display means hand free operation and error-free readings (no need to guess about decimal point location or scaling). 8. Tongue & Groove construction for dust and splash protection. Tough construction + leather case combined to form an industrial grade portable instrument. 9. 1250 Energy Monitor attaches to a belt for easy portability and convenient use. Operators’ can see all the controls and the display even with the instrument mounted on the hip.
10. Three NICAD rechargeable batteries ensure economy and long life. LED advises operators of charging status. RED indicates rapid full charge. Yellow indicates normal charging levels. Green indicates a trickle charge to maintain proper levels during long charging periods. In an emergency the three internal NICAD batteries can be replaced with three ALKALINE BATTERIES. NOTICE: Do not recharge Alkaline Batteries. |

Fast, Easy Color-Qualifying of Machinery Vibration
DataMite introduces a simple way to measure vibration velocity of rotating equipment. It’s the DataMite Model 2000, a four-color liquid crystal display meter that is hand-held, easy-to-use, and weighs just 11 ounces. Specially designed to fit comfortably in the palm of the hand, the DataMite 2000 qualifies vibration velocity measurements of rotating equipment to quickly determine its serviceability. Personnel need not be acquainted with vibration analysis as the 2000 will show them Green for good, Yellow for questionable and Red for dangerously operating equipment. Operators, electricians, mechanics or trainees with five minutes of safety and orientation can complete satisfactory surveys. With the samples in the analysis section of the manual, one can do basic analysis almost immediately. The 2000 is also a training tool used to educate personnel in the beginning techniques required of all analysis.
The DataMite 2000 incorporates:
FOUR-COLOR LCD-A large 2 1/4” x 5/8” display, which is easy to read in outdoor conditions, indicates machinery vibration velocity. A Blue section of the display has an “ON” symbol that appears, advising that the unit is ready for measurement. When the battery voltage drops below that required for accurate measurement, a blue battery symbol will appear.
ANALOG VOLTAGE OUTPUT- Gives the DataMite 2000 the ability to interface with a portable data terminal for fast and accurate recording of vibration readings for later analysis. This analog voltage output also serves as a connection for the model 2050 LCD readout accessory.
HARD PLASTIC CASE WITH NON-SLIP FINISH-Makes the DataMite 2000 rugged and easy to hold. The case is sealed and weather-resistant to IP-54 requirements for dependable operation in varying environments and slips securely into a protective red leather case that can be attached to a belt for easy portability.

The DataMite 7000.01 series is a Quality Control instrument used in the qualification of ball and roller bearings, before installation into their final product. Simple design implementations remove any subjective evaluations from non-skilled operator control. The 7000.01 uses custom and proprietary circuits to evaluate bearings under a simple test. Using two channels of information RMS and Peak RMS plus two alarm levels per channel, the DataMite 7000.01 can quickly test and qualify a group of bearings. Alarm set points, test spin speeds, test pre spin speed, digital and analog signal outputs, motor power, and sensor sensitivities are all under customer control. Controls are behind the rear panel for security and are available to qualified customer technicians only. When all controls are set, the 7000.01 is ready to objectively evaluate a bearing. The operator simply moves the LOAD/TEST lever to the TEST position. The remainder of the test is automatic and ends at the preset test time (7.5 seconds is default). The 7000.01 can separate GOOD from BAD bearings with 99.6% assurance with first time pass through results. Without accurate testing with the DataMite 7000.01 series, the result would be rework and customer return’s, which removes profit from the bottom line.
FUNCTIONS
Total auto-ranging means accurate repeatable readings and results, not subjective human results. We designed the 7000 SERIES for use on small ball bearings and bearing assemblies with shafting. The analyzer will detect cracked races, dirt, improper lubrication & finish, brinelling, and improper preloading. Thrust bearings will require a special movable mandrel, which preloads the bearing. Consult the factory for information.
CENSORSOUND™ PEAK A function that monitors all the instantaneous problems that occur in a bearing including vibration/sounds that occur faster than the display can respond to; that is, bearings with cracks or micro spalling. During a test, the unit documents the highest readings it receives and stores them for display at a test end.
CENSORSOUND™ PEAK RMS This function looks at the general noise problems occurring in ball bearings. Such as, vibration or sound that is so continuous as it appears to be constant. This phenomenon is common in bearings that are dirty, misaligned and heavily loaded in the axial direction. The 7000 01averages the PEAK data from the test bearing and then sends it to the display at test end.
FEATURES
Back to top
DIGITAL DISPLAYS Two 3.5 digit numeric LED displays that update results three times per/Second. Displays will also hold an end of test reading until the next test run begins.
RS232-C OUTPUT Both data streams are available from the rear power panel MINI-D 9 PIN CONNECTOR. Dataq® Instruments software is supplied to manipulate the data in an EXCEL spread sheet for analysis. Both channels are available simultaneously.
AVERAGING Data taken during a test is averaged and displayed incrementally until the test ends. At completion of a test, the displays will indicate the end readings and the appropriate ALARM LED’s will illuminate.
AUTO ALARMS Two independent alarm set points are available for each channel of data. A switch at the top center of the front panel changes the preset set points depending on which type of bearing and test are selected. This allows the user to preset two completely different alarm sets for two different bearing shapes. The adjustments of the alarm set points are behind the rear panel. A switch behind the rear panel allows front displays to show set points.
CUSTOMIZABLE The 7000.01 is built to adapt to many bearing forms. The trunnions, mandrels, drive motor, drive wheel, test duration, alarm set points (two), test speeds (two) are all flexible and customizable. Of particular interest is the technique used to drive thrust bearings, see figure 2 for the assembly breakdown. The THRUST LOAD PRESSURE PLATE applies a thrust load to the outer race with the help of the THRUST LOAD ADJUSTMENT SPRING ASSEMBLY. The fixed mandrel applies a load in the opposite direction to the inner race against the main spring in the movable mandrel. Thrust assemblies are available for any bearing in the 7000.01's capability. Consult the factory for details
USING THE DataMite™ BEARING ANALYZER
SETUP
To configure the 7000.01adjust the trunnions, shafting and mandrels to hold the bearing being tested, many styles are available. Changing from one size or type of bearing to another is simple and straightforward. Select ALARM 1 OR 2 for previously set limits on RMS and PEAK RMS levels. When the level exceeds, the set limit the FAIL light will illuminate at the end of the test. Using previously obtained test data on a bearing adjusting the alarm set points for RMS and PEAK RMS levels can be done from the back panel.
TEST
Move the TEST/LOAD lever to the LOAD POSITION and install a test bearing. Move the TEST/ LOAD lever to the TEST POSITION. Observe the 7.5-second test (DEFAULT). The 7000.01 will accelerate to the preset pre spin level then change to the to the test speed. At this time, the displays will start to accumulate data on the bearing under test. When the test run is finished, the 7000.01 will display the final readings and illuminate the PASS/FAIL lights. The results will remain on the display until the next test. For subsequent bearings repeat the LOAD and TEST steps only, the 7000.01 will run the prescribed test . . . . THAT’S IT!
The 4-Point is a magnetic level that has two 360o vials with their axis 90o to one another. Being sealed in a polycarbonate case that is 1.4”x1.9”x.47” in size, produces a rugged, adaptive, simple, and fast level.
