Technical Questions & Answers

• What types of vibration sensors work with this monitor?
• The A6125 supports piezoelectric accelerometers and velometers with constant current power from 2-8mA. It replaces older seismic sensor systems effectively.
• How many vibration measurements can it handle simultaneously?
• This dual-channel monitor processes two independent vibration signals at the same time, with separate alarm setpoints for each measurement point.
• What vibration frequency ranges does it cover?
• It measures from 2 Hz to 8000 Hz across different modes, covering both low-frequency machine vibration and high-frequency bearing defects.
• Can I integrate this with existing control systems?
• Yes, it provides 0/4-20mA outputs, 0-10VDC signals, and ModBus TCP/IP communication for easy integration with PlantWeb, Ovation, and DeltaV systems.
• How does the self-checking feature work?
• The module continuously monitors sensor wiring, power supply, internal temperature, and system operation, providing clear fault indications through LED status lights.
