Product Introduction
In demanding industrial environments where accurate shaft vibration measurement is critical for machinery protection, the Vibro Meter 913-402-000-012/A1-E090-F0-G000 proximity measuring system delivers reliable performance. This non-contact eddy-current sensor is designed for applications requiring high temperature tolerance and resistance to harsh conditions. Part of the proven vibro-meter® product line, the 913-402-000-012/A1-E090-F0-G000 provides voltage or current output with short-circuit protection and conforms to API 670 recommendations.
Technical Specifications
The Vibro Meter 913-402-000-012/A1-E090-F0-G000 offers robust specifications for continuous operation in extreme environments:
-
Temperature range: Transducer −40 to +180°C (drift <5%), short-term survival +180 to +220°C (drift >5%)
-
Protection rating: Transducer tip and integral cable rated IP68 (IEC 60529)
-
Vibration resistance: 5 g peak, 10–500 Hz (IEC 60068-2-26)
-
Shock resistance: 15 g peak, 11 ms half-sine (IEC 60068-2-27)
-
Frequency response: DC to 20 kHz (−3 dB)
-
Measurement range: 2 mm or 4 mm
-
Weight: 0.22 kg (200 g approx.)
-
Mounting: Two M4 screws (without DIN-rail adapter)
The system requires a high-frequency power source from an IQS900 signal conditioner. Integral and extension cables are FEP covered 70 Ω coaxial, Ø3.6 mm, with self-locking miniature coaxial connectors.
Industry Applications
The Vibro Meter 913-402-000-012/A1-E090-F0-G000 is ideal for shaft relative vibration and gap/position measurement chains in machinery protection and condition monitoring. It works seamlessly with VM600Mk2/VM600 and VibroSmart® systems for API 670 applications. The 9.0 m extension cable (E090 configuration) enables flexible installation in turbines, compressors, and pumps.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the transducer using two M4 screws. Hand-tighten the self-locking coaxial connectors until they lock — do not use tools. The integral cable and extension cable (9.0 m ±900 mm) are pre-configured. Optional protection (F0) is none, so ensure the cable is routed away from sharp edges. The transducer head is IP68, but the connector area should be kept dry. For Ex Zone use, maintain cable temperature below +195°C.
Maintenance & Reliability
The temperature-compensated design of the Vibro Meter 913-402-000-012/A1-E090-F0-G000 minimizes drift below 5% over the operating range. The stainless steel body (AISI 316L) and Torlon tip resist chemical attack and mechanical wear. No routine calibration is needed; periodic inspection of cable integrity and connector tightness is recommended. The system withstands 5 g vibration and 15 g shock, ensuring long service life in rotating machinery.
Compatibility & Integration
Connect the Vibro Meter 913-402-000-012/A1-E090-F0-G000 to any IQS900 signal conditioner for DC to 20 kHz response. It integrates with VM600Mk2/VM600 and VibroSmart® monitoring platforms for real-time vibration analysis. The Ex certified versions allow use in potentially explosive atmospheres. For replacement or upgrade projects, this module directly substitutes older 913-402-000-012 variants.
