ORIGINAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS| VMS4100/5100
Subject to change without notice
• Measurement and calibration legislation stipulates that a measured value which is
detected on a measurement device that has been verified as legal for trade in an
application requiring official verification, and is transmitted to an electronic data
processing system must be documented in a manipulation-proof manner for a period
dating back at least 90 days.
• Documentation occurs in the alibi memory on the SD card of the SIM2000 system
controller. The alibi memory must be approved by the Physikalisch-Technische
Bundesanstalt (PTB) or another notified body.
• The VMS5100 ensures compliance with calibration legislation for measurement data
as well as the traceability of all measurement processes in the measurement system.
For this purpose, all measured values obtained are stored in a legally compliant
manner in the alibi memory along with their date, time, and a unique consecutive
alibi ID (“identification index”), which together form the legally relevant identifier of
a measurement data record.
The manipulation-proof status of the alibi memory storage was verified as part of
an official WELMEC SW check by the appropriate authority.
NOTE! When the legally relevant measurement data records are transferred via the
customer interface, the alibi ID (marked in red in the image below) is always included
in order to assist the operating entity with the traceability of the data.

NOTE! The operating entity of the VMS5100 system variant is responsible for complying
at all times with the relevant regulations and guidelines in connection with operating the
system in a way that is verified as legal for trade.
