IMI Sensors Launches Series EX64xB7x for Monitoring Overall Vibration Levels on Critical Machinery in Hazardous Areas

August 7, 2008 – Depew, NY, USA – The IMI Sensors division of PCB Piezotronics (PCB®) has released Series EX64xB7x, a line of loop-powered 4-20 mA output sensors with a 1-inch NPT, 90° capped elbow conduit, to meet ATEX and CSA approval requirements for use in hazardous areas. Sensors operate from standard 24V loop power, making them directly compatible with existing PLCs, SCADA, DCS, and Plant Information (PI) systems, for continuous vibration monitoring of overall vibration levels on critical machinery in hazardous area application environments.

Sensors are available with either acceleration or velocity outputs and in various amplitude ranges. Outputs of peak or RMS vibration can be selected, as well as optional temperature or raw vibration outputs. The raw vibration output provides a buffered signal that can be used with vibration data collectors to perform detailed diagnostic analysis when a problem is detected.
