Engineered for Hazardous EnvironmentsThe HE102 Series is purpose-built for use in ATEX-rated hazardous areas, meeting stringent safety standards for Zone 1 & 2. Its 316L stainless steel construction and IP67 sealing provide exceptional protection against dust, water, and corrosive agents, making it an ideal choice for demanding industrial settings.
High-Performance Vibration MonitoringDesigned with a wide dynamic range, the HE102 sensor offers accurate measurement of both velocity and acceleration with sensitivity ratings of 10 mV/mm/s and 100 mV/g. Its broad frequency response (2 Hz-10,000 Hz) captures subtle and intense vibrations, aiding in efficient predictive maintenance and reducing unplanned downtime.
Effortless Integration and Flexible InstallationThanks to its standard M8 mounting thread, compact 56 mm length, and side cable or connector option, installation is streamlined. The included shielded, low-noise cable in various lengths ensures high-quality signal transmission. This sensor is compatible with most industry-standard data acquisition systems employing IEPE input.
FAQ's of ATEX vibration sensor HE102 series:
Q: How should the HE102 vibration sensor be installed for optimal performance?
A: To achieve reliable measurements, mount the HE102 sensor using its standard M8 x 1.25 thread directly onto the target surface. Ensure proper torque and use the side cable or connector for secure, shielded cable termination. Select a cable length that minimizes signal attenuation and interference.
Q: What types of environments is the HE102 series suitable for?
A: This sensor is specifically designed for use in hazardous ATEX-rated environments, particularly Zone 1 & 2 locations. Its 316L stainless steel housing, IP67 sealing, and shock resistance up to 5000 g ensure it performs reliably in harsh industrial settings, including those exposed to dust, moisture, and high temperatures.
Q: When would I choose the HE102 sensor over a conventional vibration sensor?
A: The HE102 sensor should be chosen when precise vibration monitoring is needed in hazardous areas requiring ATEX certification. Its wide frequency response, high shock resistance, and IP67 rating make it advantageous where safety, durability, and consistent performance are critical.
Q: Where is the typical application of the HE102 vibration sensor?
A: Common applications include predictive maintenance and condition monitoring of rotating machinery, motors, pumps, and equipment in industries such as oil & gas, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and process plants where ATEX compliance is mandatory.
Q: What is the process for connecting the HE102 sensor to monitoring systems?
A: Integrating the sensor involves connecting its 2-pin output (IEPE signal) via the supplied or compatible shielded cable to an IEPE-enabled data acquisition system. Ensure the power supply is within the 3.3-24 VDC range for optimal performance.
Q: How does the HE102 benefit your industrial maintenance program?
A: By providing accurate and early detection of abnormal vibration, the HE102 sensor helps prevent equipment failures, reduces downtime, and enhances safety-especially in hazardous environments where reliability and predictive maintenance are vital.
