Applications
The Vibro Meter 913-402-000-013/A1-E040-F0-G000 is ideal for shaft relative vibration and gap/position measurement in machinery protection and condition monitoring systems. It suits use with VM600Mk2, VM600, and VibroSmart machinery monitoring systems. Common applications include API 670 compliant installations on turbines, compressors, and pumps.
Installation & Setup
Mount the transducer using two M4 screws (without a DIN-rail adapter). Ensure the extension cable is routed without sharp bends. When connecting the self-locking miniature coaxial connectors, hand-tighten until locked — do not use tools. The 4.0 m ±400 mm extension cable provides flexibility for sensor placement. For hazardous area installations, verify that the transducer and cable are within the −40 to +195°C range.
Troubleshooting & Common Issues
Common issues include signal drift due to extreme temperature. The temperature-compensated design of the Vibro Meter 913-402-000-013/A1-E040-F0-G000 minimizes drift up to 180°C. Ensure the IP68-rated tip is clean and free from debris to maintain accurate readings. If using optional protection (FEP sheath), verify chemical compatibility to avoid degradation. For applications exceeding the standard temperature range (short-term survival up to 220°C), monitor drift >5% and plan maintenance accordingly.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
Before purchasing, confirm the extension cable length (E=040 indicates 4.0m) and optional protection (F=0 means no cable/connector protection). Ensure your system supports the high-frequency power source from an IQS900 signal conditioner. For reliable sourcing, trust PLC Source PRO — your supplier for genuine industrial automation spares.
