ProSight 2 Wire Magnetic Type Integrated Vibration Sensor Transmitter
ProSight 2 Wire Magnetic Type Integrated Vibration Sensor Transmitter is an industrial vibration monitoring device designed for bearing vibration measurement and real-time condition monitoring of rotating machinery. Its magnetic base option enables convenient attachment to suitable ferromagnetic measurement surfaces, while the sensor measures vibration velocity or displacement across a 5-1000 Hz frequency response range. The transmitter provides a specified 2-wire 4-20 mA output for integration with PLCs, DCS systems, and industrial vibration monitoring equipment.
The ProSight 2 Wire Magnetic Type Integrated Vibration Sensor Transmitter is a compact industrial instrument designed to measure and continuously monitor vibration from rotating machinery, mechanical equipment, and other vibration-sensitive systems.
The ProSight 2 Wire Magnetic Type Integrated Vibration Sensor Transmitter series combines vibration sensing and signal transmission in an integrated device. The magnetic-type version is equipped with a 42 mm diameter magnetic base, allowing it to be attached to suitable ferromagnetic surfaces for convenient vibration measurement. This makes it particularly useful for temporary, portable, or maintenance-based vibration measurements where drilling and permanent threaded installation may not be practical.
The transmitter can measure either vibration velocity or vibration displacement, depending on the selected measurement range. The 2-wire configuration converts the measured vibration into a standard 4-20 mA output signal, which can be connected to industrial monitoring and automation equipment.
The ProSight 2 Wire Magnetic Type Integrated Vibration Sensor Transmitter0 can be used for vibration measurement and real-time monitoring of equipment such as submersible pumps, fans, steam turbines, coal mills, oxygen generators, generators, centrifuges, compressors, water pumps, and motors. It can also be applied to low-frequency vibration monitoring for machine tools, machining centers, underground pipelines, automotive equipment, and other systems where environmental vibration may affect equipment operation.
How Does the ProSight 2 Wire Magnetic Type Integrated Vibration Sensor Transmitter Work?
The magnetic base is placed directly against a suitable metal surface on or near the equipment being monitored. During operation, mechanical vibration from the machine is transferred through the mounting surface to the vibration sensing element.
The sensor detects the vibration and the integrated electronics process the signal according to the selected measurement range. The resulting measurement is transmitted as a 4-20 mA signal through the 2-wire connection.
It can be configured for different vibration measurement ranges, including:
Vibration Velocity
- 0-10 mm/s
- 0-25 mm/s
- 0-50 mm/s
Vibration Displacement
- 0-100 μm
- 0-200 μm
- 0-500 μm
The 4-20 mA output can then be connected to a PLC, DCS, 4-20 mA monitoring device, data acquisition system, or other compatible industrial control equipment for continuous monitoring, alarm generation, trend analysis, and condition-based maintenance.
