Depew, NY-based IMI Sensors, a division of PCB Piezotronics, Inc. has released its model 682A09 ICP® in-line 4-20 mA vibration transmitter.

Another IMI Sensors industry-first, the model 682A09 installs in line with any industrial accelerometer and converts the vibration signal to a 4-20 mA velocity output that can be trended with today's PLC, DCS or SCADA control room systems. The unit can be installed right into the cable run, with no DIN rails, cabinets or special power required. Now existing accelerometers can be turned into 24/7 vibration monitoring devices for critical machinery.

The 682A09 is a stainless steel, hermetically sealed design capable of operating in the harshest environments with two-pin MIL connector input and three-pin MIL connector output. It accepts a 100-mV/g analog signal, converts to 4-20 mA output and operates off loop-power supplied by the PLC, DCS or SCADA system. In addition, the 682A09 outputs the 100 mV/g analog signal via its three-pin output connector. The analog signal can be run to a central collection point, allowing the user to maintain the FFT capability of the original system.
