Real-World Applications
The 111-402-000-013-A1-B1-C165-D080-E050-F0-G000-H05 excels in machinery protection systems for turbines, compressors, and pumps. In a typical steam turbine installation, the probe continuously monitors shaft relative vibration and axial position, enabling early detection of developing faults. Its temperature-compensated design ensures stable accuracy across wide thermal swings, reducing false alarms and unplanned shutdowns. The system integrates seamlessly with VM600 and VibroSmart monitoring platforms, making it ideal for API 670-compliant safety installations.
Installation and Setup Guidance
Mount the Vibro Meter 111-402-000-013-A1-B1-C165-D080-E050-F0-G000-H05 using the M10 × 1 body thread and 165 mm body length. The 80 mm unthreaded section positions the sensor tip at the correct gap. Connect the 5.0 m integral cable to an IQS900 signal conditioner using the self-locking miniature coaxial connectors. Hand-tighten the connectors until locked—do not use tools. For hazardous areas, ensure the cable and connector are rated for Ex zones. The optional FEP sheath or flexible stainless steel hose can be specified for additional chemical or mechanical protection.
Maintenance and Reliability
With an IP68 rating, the transducer head withstands immersion and dust ingress, drastically reducing maintenance frequency. The Torlon tip and stainless steel body (AISI 316L) resist corrosion and wear. Vibration tests at 5 g and shock at 15 g ensure reliable operation in rotating machinery. The temperature-compensated design extends calibration intervals, lowering total cost of ownership. Regularly inspect the cable for damage and verify connector tightness during routine outages.
Selection and Purchasing Advice
When ordering the 111-402-000-013-A1-B1-C165-D080-E050-F0-G000-H05, verify that the total system length (5 m) and flexible hose option (none in this configuration) match your installation. Optional protection types (FEP sheath or hose) can be chosen based on environmental exposure. For bulk or expedited needs, contact UBEST Automation (ubest101) for stock availability and competitive pricing. Ensure your signal conditioner is compatible with the high-frequency power requirement.
