New vibration sensor has choice of output signals

A new vibration sensor is designed to meet the requirements of building service managers, who are using vibration monitoring systems to help provide trouble-free utility services for their workplace

The MTN/1181 sensor contains integral circuitry to provide three different vibration signal outputs as used by maintenance engineers.

These include an RMS velocity output (ISO 10816-1) of 0-10 Volt dc covering a typical range of 0 to 25mm/sec, a 0-10 Volt dc output proportional to enveloped g range which can be conveniently connected direct to a PLC, and, thirdly, an AC acceleration buffered output, 10mV/g typical, with a frequency response of 2Hz to 10kHz (-3dB).

Built to withstand the operating conditions of building services environments where heating, ventilation, air conditioning and other utility generation is in action, the sensor is robustly constructed in a welded stainless steel housing with protection to IP65 and a choice of sealed cable or connector for electrical output.

It operates over a temperature range of 0C to +80C.

The sensor integral circuitry eliminates the need for external electronic modules making the MTN/1181 an attractively priced and competitive unit.
