The
580A uses an accelerometer and a microprocessor powered by a 2 wire cable.
The microprocessor uses the input from the USB programmer to determine the
set-point and time delays. Once the vibration reaches the set limit the
microprocessor activates a solid state relay which either completes (NO)
or breaks (NC) the circuit.
The 580A is a rugged (316L Stainless Steel, NEMA
4X, IP68) compact unit provides continuous monitoring of machine vibration
for trending, alarm and/or shutdown when used with a PLC, computer, DCS,
data logger or current relays.
Installation is simple and no calibration is required. A
1/4-28 stud is provided for mounting in a 1/4-28 tapped hole. The unit has
a 2 pin connector and mates with a standard MIL-C-5015 2 socket connector
with splash-proof boot for a weatherproof, splash proof connection.
Optional cable assemblies are available in lengths of 16, 32, 64 and 112
feet.
