SW5484E Compact Configurable Vibration Switch

The SW5484E is a loop powered seismic velocity transmitter and configurable switch. The compact vibration switch incorporates a piezoelectric accelerometer, signal integrator, RMS or peak detector, 4-20 mA signal conditioner and a digital microcontroller into a single package. It is mounted directly on a machine case or bearing housing without disturbing the signal conditioning equipment.

SW5484E Compact Configurable Vibration Switches are an attractive solution when all the following criteria apply:

  • Confined areas such as a cooling tower where people are kept out for safety and disease prevention reasons.
  • Water ingression reduced to zero.
  • The device can work in any orientation.
  • Insufficient room to mount a larger mechanical or electrical switch.
  • Capability of switching two independent alarms.
  • Field configurable switch setpoints and time delays.
  • Velocity 4-20mA signal and dynamic raw acceleration output signal are ready for external monitoring and control system.

Pending hazardous area approvals.
