Hazardous Area Vibration Sensor - UL & CSA Class I II III Divison 1, Zone 1 Grps Grps A B C D / Grps E F G - T4A - NEMA 7 & 9 - Low Temperature - Integral Wireable Head - 316L Stainless Steel
Vibration Sensor Certified for UL & CSA Class I II III Divison 1, Zone 1 Groups Grps A B C D / Grps E F G T4A Rated for use in Gas & Dust Class I II III Div 1 NEMA 7 & 9
The Low Temperature Vibration Sensor series of vibration sensors provide measurement of overall vibration levels being generated by all types of rotating machinery in Hazardous Areas, and can be directly connected to PLC, DCS and other industrial controllers.
The Vibration Sensor type are loop powered, 4-20mA output vibration sensors configured with a full scale acceleration output (RMS or Peak) of between 5g to 50g. The housing is manufactured from 316 stainless steel, and it is provided with a fully potted cable suitable for use in hazardous environments.
Benefiting from state-of-the-art annular shear design, our Vibration Sensor series sensors provide better frequency response, improved base strain, lower noise, and an insensitivity to cable motion compared to the market competition.
It is available certified for Hazardous Area use including ATEX / IECEx / UL / CSA / TRCU & INMETRO.
