Description

Explosion-proof, acceleration loop powered sensors (LPS) 4-20 mA vibration sensors incorporate an accelerometer, data acquisition circuitry, and vibration transmitter in a rugged industrial housing. The explosion-proof sensor provides a 4-20 mA output signal proportional to the overall acceleration level. The 4-20 mA output is commonly accepted by process control systems including PLC, DCS or SCADA for cost-effective continuous vibration monitoring. Simplified condition based maintenance can be performed on machinery without the investment and learning curve associated with traditional vibration monitoring systems. The acceleration-output sensors gives a signal with increased sensitivity to higher frequencies which can help indicate bearing wear and gear mesh conditions. 4-20 mA sensors are specified by their full scale values, where a “-10” sensor is designed with a full scale range of 10 g’s equivalent to 20 mA. By trending overall acceleration, changes can be monitored and when a predetermined increase is reached, an informed decision to shut down machinery can be made. Key features PC420AR-EX Series RMS, peak equivalent or true peak detection Explosion proof certified Corrosion resistant Provides continuous trending of overall machine Vibration Hermetically sealed Reverse wiring protection Manufactured in an approved ISO 9001 facilit
