PC420A-EX Series Explosion-Proof Acceleration Loop Powered Sensor

Brand: Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies

Wilcoxon’s 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 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 sensor 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.
