The vibration sensor was developed for the continuous monitoring of vibration velocity. The vibration sensor is available in various designs. Depending on the type of vibration sensor, a distinction is made between design and measuring range. The vibration sensor measures vibration velocity within a range of ± 12.7 mm/s or ± 25.4 mm/s in the frequency range between 3 Hz and 1500 kHz.
The measured vibration velocity is output as a 4 to 20 mA process current. The vibration sensor is connected to a controller or process display in a current loop via a MIL-C-5015 connector. Depending on the design, the connection socket is mounted vertically or horizontally on the vibration sensor. The vibration sensor can be operated with a voltage of 12 to 24 V DC.
The panel-mounted measuring instrument is configurable as an AC and DC voltmeter (up to 600 Vac/DC) and an AC and DC ammeter (up to 5 Aac/DC). Furthermore, the panel-mounted measuring instrument displays measured values of process signals (mA, VDC), thermocouples, resistive temperature sensors (Pt, Ni, PTC, and NTC), resistors, potentiometers, and frequency. The panel-mounted measuring instrument is configurable using the front-panel buttons. The panel-mounted measuring instrument is installed in a standard panel cutout size of 96 x 48 mm (1/8 DIN). The measured value is scalable to 4 digits (9999 / -1999).
Also available on the panel meter are quick access to alarm setpoints, external control for activating predefined functions, Eco mode for low consumption, selectable dual scaling, and five configurable brightness levels. A single universal 18 ... 265 V AC/DC power supply transforms the panel meter into an easy-to-use process measuring device. Optional output and control modules (relay, analog output, Modbus RTU) are available to the panel meter user.
