Hand-Arm and Whole Body Vibration Meter Rental

Monitor Human Vibration Exposure | HVM200

Human Vibration Meter HVM200

The Larson Davis HVM200 is a small, rugged, 3 channel human vibration meter with built in Wi-Fi that can be used to measure hand-arm, whole body and general vibration (in accordance with ISO 2631, 5349, and 8041 standards). Its expanded capability from the HVM100 allows for 1/1 and 1/3 octave measurements and the ability to record raw sampled time domain data in one small package utilizing a removable (up to) 32 GB micro SD memory card. The HVM200 is controlled through a computer interface with the G4 Utility Software and/or a smartphone using the LD Atlas app via a Wi-Fi connection (free download from the Apple App Store or Google play). The HVM200 also has the ability to read calibration data from TEDS-equipped sensors for even quicker test set up.
