Industry Applications
The Vibro Meter 913-402-000-012/A2-E090-F0-G000 excels in turbine monitoring, compressor protection, and pump shaft displacement measurement. Its Ex i rating makes it ideal for chemical plants, oil refineries, and gas processing facilities where explosive atmospheres exist. The extended temperature range allows operation in steam turbines and high-temperature machinery.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the transducer head securely using the supplied stainless steel body. Ensure the integral cable follows a smooth path without kinks. Hand-tighten each self-locking coaxial connector until locked – do not use tools. Verify the IQS900 signal conditioner provides the required high-frequency power source. For Ex Zone installations, follow all local safety regulations.
Maintenance & Reliability
Inspect the cable and connectors periodically for damage. The IP68 rating protects against dust and water immersion, but the optional FEP sheath or stainless steel hose can be added for extra chemical or mechanical protection. Replacement interval depends on operating temperature; at the upper limits, plan for replacement after prolonged exposure. The robust construction minimises drift below 5% over the full operating range.
Buying Guide & Selection Advice
Before ordering, confirm your vibrating machine’s shaft diameter and clearance. The 9.0 m extension cable suits most installations; for different lengths, choose the corresponding variant. Verify that the IQS900 signal conditioner is compatible. For additional protection, select either the stainless steel hose (not leak-tight) or the FEP sheath (chemical resistant).
