Key Features

The 200350-09-00-01 offers several advantages for vibration monitoring applications.

Hazardous Area Approvals:
The sensor holds CSA, ATEX, and IECEx certifications. Consequently, it can be installed in explosive atmospheres. This makes it ideal for oil, gas, and petrochemical facilities.

Wide Frequency Range:
The sensor measures from 30 to 600,000 cpm (0.5 to 10,000 Hz). Therefore, it captures both low and high frequency vibrations effectively.

High Sensitivity:
With 100 mV/g ±20% output, it detects small vibration changes. Hence, it suits predictive maintenance programs.

IP68 Environmental Rating:
The welded hermetic sealing provides IP68 protection. As a result, the sensor operates reliably in wet and condensing environments.

Shear Sensing Geometry:
The ceramic shear element offers excellent temperature stability. Moreover, it reduces base strain sensitivity for more accurate measurements.

High Shock Survivability:
The sensor withstands 5,000 g peak shock. Thus, it survives harsh machine start-up and fault conditions without damage.

Electrical Isolation:
Case isolation exceeds 10⁸ ohms. Therefore, ground loops are prevented in monitoring systems.

No Mounting Stud Included:
The -09 option includes no mounting stud. For this reason, the user must supply a suitable 1/4-28 stud for installation.

Typical Applications

The 200350-09-00-01 suits various vibration monitoring applications.

• Case-mounted vibration monitoring in hazardous areas.

• Bearing housing measurement on compressors in refineries.

• Machine condition monitoring in petrochemical plants.

• Predictive maintenance programs in explosive atmospheres.

• Vibration data collection on offshore platforms.

Installation Guidelines

Install the 200350-09-00-01 using a customer-supplied 1/4-28 mounting stud. First, clean the mounting surface thoroughly. Then, screw a suitable 1/4-28 stud into the machine's threaded hole.

After the stud is secured, mount the sensor onto the stud. Apply mounting torque between 2 and 5 ft-lb (2.7 to 6.8 N-m). Do not overtighten. Connect the 2-pin Mil-C-5015 connector to a compatible constant current power supply. Supply 18-28 VDC at 2-20 mA. The output bias voltage will settle within 8-12 VDC after approximately 2 seconds.

For hazardous area installations, follow the CSA, ATEX, or IECEx certification requirements. Use appropriate certified wiring methods and barriers as specified in the approval documentation.
