Phase II DVM-2000 3D Vibration Meter
- DVM-2000
Measure vibration in three axes for machinery inspection and troubleshooting
The Phase II DVM-2000 is a multifunction digital vibration meter designed to measure acceleration, velocity and displacement using a 3-axis piezoelectric accelerometer. Measurements can be taken along the X, Y or Z axis, or in XYZ mode, providing a practical way to evaluate vibration on rotating machinery and other mechanical equipment.
Three vibration parameters in one instrument
The DVM-2000 measures vibration acceleration, RMS velocity and peak-to-peak displacement. Having all three measurement modes available in a portable instrument allows the operator to examine vibration using the parameter most appropriate for the inspection being performed.
3-axis piezoelectric accelerometer
The external accelerometer provides X, Y, Z and XYZ measurement capability. This makes it possible to evaluate vibration in different directions rather than relying on a single measurement axis, which is particularly useful when investigating vibration behaviour on rotating equipment.
Check rotating equipment for balance and alignment problems
Phase II designed the DVM-2000 for quick vibration analysis when checking the balance and alignment of rotating objects. It is suited to machinery inspection, manufacturing, production and laboratory applications where vibration levels need to be measured and compared.
Large backlit LCD and convenient measurement functions
A large backlit LCD helps make measurements easy to read in different working environments. The instrument also provides push-button inch/metric conversion and a Max Hold function for retaining the maximum measured value.
Flexible sensor mounting and probing
The DVM-2000 kit includes a powerful magnet for mounting the accelerometer to suitable ferrous surfaces as well as pointed and ball stinger probes. These accessories provide different ways to couple the vibration sensor to the equipment being evaluated.
Portable, rugged construction
The meter features an all-metal body and operates from two AA batteries, making it convenient for portable machinery inspection. A regulated AC output of 2.0 V peak at full scale is also provided.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of a 3-axis vibration meter?
The DVM-2000 can measure using the X, Y or Z axis as well as XYZ mode. This allows vibration to be evaluated in different directions when inspecting machinery rather than being limited to a single sensor axis.
Does the DVM-2000 measure acceleration, velocity and displacement?
Yes. All three vibration parameters are available from the same instrument: peak acceleration, RMS velocity and peak-to-peak displacement.
Can it be used to investigate rotating machinery?
Yes. Phase II specifically identifies the DVM-2000 for quick analysis when checking the balance and alignment of rotating objects.
How is the accelerometer attached to the machine?
The supplied accessories include a powerful magnet as well as pointed and ball stinger probes, providing several methods of coupling the sensor to the equipment being inspected.
Can measurements be displayed in metric and imperial units?
Yes. The DVM-2000 provides push-button inch/metric conversion.
