Robust Design for Hazardous EnvironmentsThe HE100 series is ATEX certified and constructed with stainless steel 316L, providing exceptional resistance to corrosion, harsh chemicals, and extreme temperatures. Its hermetic sealing ensures IP67 protection, making it perfectly suitable for applications in challenging industrial settings where safety and reliability are non-negotiable.
Flexible Output and Mounting OptionsThis sensor offers both 4-20 mA and IEPE voltage outputs, making integration with existing systems seamless. Versatile mounting options, such as M8 or M6 screw studs, combined with a compact form factor (18 mm diameter, 60 mm length), allow it to fit easily into tight spaces on different types of rotating machinery.
FAQ's of ATEX vibration sensor HE100 series:
Q: How is the HE100 vibration sensor installed on rotating machines?
A: The HE100 sensor features M8 or M6 screw stud mounting for secure attachment to rotating machinery. Installation is straightforward: select the appropriate thread size, secure the sensor to the recommended location on the machine, and connect the 2-pin connector or integral cable as specified.
Q: What benefits does the ATEX certification provide for users in hazardous environments?
A: ATEX certification ensures that the HE100 series is safe for use in explosive atmospheres, common in petrochemical, mining, and process industries. This reduces the risk of ignition, enhancing overall plant safety and compliance with international standards.
Q: When should the sensitivity or measurement range be customized?
A: Customization is recommended when monitoring machines that operate outside the standard 0 to 25 mm/s RMS velocity range or require unique sensitivity settings for specific vibration thresholds. Custom options are available to tailor the sensor's performance to your monitoring application.
Q: What is the process for selecting the correct cable length for my installation?
A: Consider the distance between the sensor's mounting point and the nearest monitoring equipment. The HE100 offers standard cable lengths of 1 m and 5 m, with customization available for longer or shorter runs to fit your specific installation requirements.
Q: Where is the HE100 vibration sensor best used?
A: This sensor is ideal for vibration measurement and monitoring of rotating machinery, particularly in hazardous or harsh industrial settings such as chemical plants, refineries, manufacturing sites, and energy facilities, especially where ATEX compliance and environmental durability are required.
Q: How does the IP67 rating benefit industrial users?
A: The IP67 rating indicates the sensor is protected against dust and temporary submersion in water, ensuring reliable performance even in wet, dusty, or corrosive environments, thereby minimizing maintenance and downtime.
Q: What are the usage advantages of the 4-20 mA and IEPE output signals?
A: The 4-20 mA output is widely recognized for long-distance noise-resistant transmission in industrial controls, while IEPE voltage output suits integration with vibration analysis tools. This duality gives users flexibility depending on their monitoring and diagnostic needs.
