The Meggitt Vibro-Meter 913-402-000-012 is a proximity measuring system. This device belongs to the Vibro-Meter product family from Meggitt. You can use it for shaft vibration and position monitoring. The system requires a high-frequency power source from an IQS900 signal conditioner. It is designed for demanding industrial applications including hazardous areas.

Technical Specifications of the 913-402-000-012

The Meggitt Vibro-Meter 913-402-000-012 has an Ex i explosive environment rating. The extension cable length is 4.5 meters with ±450 mm tolerance. The cable has no optional protection and no connector. The flexible hose length is none. The unit weighs 0.22 kg.

Transducer Construction

The transducer uses a wire coil of Ø8 mm. The tip is made of Torlon (polyamide-imide) material. The body is encapsulated in stainless steel (AISI 316L). High-temperature epoxy glue secures the assembly. The Meggitt Vibro-Meter 913-402-000-012 has a rugged construction for harsh environments.

Cable and Connector Specifications

The integral and extension cables use FEP covered 70 Ω coaxial cable. The cable diameter is Ø3.6 mm. The connectors are self-locking miniature coaxial type. When connecting, hand-tighten until locked. Do not use tools for tightening.

Temperature Ranges

The transducer operates from -40°C to +180°C with drift below 5%. Short-term survival from +180°C to +220°C has drift above 5%. For Ex Zone use, the transducer and cable operate from -40°C to +195°C. The cable, connector, and optional protection operate from -40°C to +200°C.

Environmental Protection

The head of the proximity transducer has an IP68 rating. This includes the transducer tip and integral cable. The Meggitt Vibro-Meter 913-402-000-012 withstands 5g peak vibration between 10 and 500 Hz. Shock acceleration tolerance is 15g peak half sine-wave for 11 ms duration.

Optional Protection Features

A flexible stainless steel hose provides additional mechanical protection. This hose is not leak-tight. An FEP sheath offers resistance to almost all chemicals. It also provides low permeability to liquids, gases, and moisture. The FEP sheath is flexible, low friction, and mechanically tough.

Installation Guidelines for the 913-402-000-012

Mount the Meggitt Vibro-Meter 913-402-000-012 with proper gap settings. Hand-tighten all coaxial connectors until locked. Do not exceed the temperature limits for your zone. Use the FEP sheath for chemical resistance applications. Use the stainless steel hose for mechanical protection. Connect to an IQS900 signal conditioner for proper operation.
