Portable vibration monitoring device
First Claim
1. A portable monitoring device comprising:
- a housing;
a processing circuit disposed within the housing;
a primary sensor extending outwardly from the housing, coupled with the processing circuit, and configured to transmit input to the processing circuit;
a rechargeable battery disposed within the housing and configured to provide electric power to at least the processing circuit; and
a connector coupled with the processing circuit, the connector being configured to operatively couple the battery with a battery charger and to alternatively couple the processing circuit with at least one of a secondary sensor and a calibration device, the connector having an opening configured to receive the battery charger and to separately and alternatively receive the at least one of the secondary sensor and the calibration device.

Abstract
A portable monitoring device includes a hand-held housing, a processing circuit disposed within the housing, and a primary sensor extending outwardly from the housing, coupled with the processing circuit, and configured to transmit input to the processing circuit. A rechargeable battery is disposed within the housing and is configured to provide electric power to at least the processing circuit. A connector is coupled with the processing circuit and configured to operatively couple the battery with a battery charger and to alternatively couple the processing circuit with at least one of a secondary sensor and a calibration device. Preferably, a temperature sensor is disposed proximal to the primary sensor and configured to transmit temperature input to the processing circuit, and a switch disposed within the housing is electrically connected with the processing circuit, the connector and the primary sensor and couples the connector with the battery charger or the processing circuit.
