Description
1. Product Title
2. Product Overview
Channel 1 accepts eddy‑current probe for relative shaft vibration; Channel 2 connects seismic / piezoelectric velocity sensor for bearing housing absolute vibration.
The module compensates phase difference between two sensors and calculates absolute shaft vibration by signal subtraction. Two channels can also work independently. It provides configurable alarm / trip thresholds, 4‑20 mA analog output, sensor fault detection, RS232 local configuration and RS485 host‑system communication interface.
Lifecycle status: Obsolete / EOL, only for spare‑part replacement for existing steam‑turbine, gas‑turbine and compressor protection systems.
