PC420 Explosion proof acceleration LPS™
PC420Ax-yy-Ex, top exit 4-20 mA loop powered sensor

Product Specs PDF PC420 Model Chart Category Comparison Table

The output of the PC420A series is proportional to acceleration vibration. An output of 4 mA indicates a level of 0 g or no vibration present. A full-scale reading of 20 mA indicates the maximum range (Peak or RMS) of vibration is present. The Peak output units provide a computed equivalent peak level of vibration based on the RMS.

Benefits

Choice of output: RMS, True Peak, and Peak, permits you to choose the sensor that best fits your industrial requirements
Provides continuous trending of overall machine vibration
True peak is useful for detecting loose parts like valves on reciprocating machinery
Can help guide maintenance
Helps notify of impending equipment failure
Hazardous area installation
