ATEX / CSA Intrinsically Safe Vibration Transmitters

August 4, 2005, Depew, NY-The IMI Sensors Division of PCB Piezotronics, Inc. introduces a new line of 4 to 20 mA vibration transmitters with intrinsic certifications for monitoring of critical machines. These intrinsically safe sensors comply to ATEX and CSA North American standards and are used to monitor critical rotating machinery in refineries, grain processing facilities, or mines where hazardous gas or dust may be present, thus requiring this safety certification.

The 4 to 20 mA transmitters are loop powered and can be conveniently interfaced with existing plant monitoring equipment such as PLC, DCS, or SCADA systems. Standard features include hermetic sealing, frequency response from 180 to 600,000 cpm (3 to 10 kHz), stainless steel construction, Вј-28 or M6 mounting hardware, temperature 40 to +185 °F (-40 to +85 °C). Standard sensors provide the choice of acceleration or velocity output signals and in either RMS or peak versions. Optional temperature or analog output is available. The analog vibration option gives a technician the ability to perform detailed signal analysis.
