Expert Technical Support

• What mounting considerations are unique to horizontal vibration sensors?
• Horizontal installations require careful attention to gravitational effects on measurements. Ensure mounting surface flatness and use recommended torque specifications for accurate data collection in this orientation.
• How does temperature variation affect transducer performance over time?
• Temperature changes cause minor sensitivity shifts, typically within the specified ±5% tolerance. For critical applications, consider temperature compensation based on your specific operating environment requirements.
• What maintenance procedures ensure long-term measurement accuracy?
• Perform regular visual inspections for physical damage and verify electrical connections. Check baseline readings quarterly and compare against initial installation values to detect any performance degradation.
• Can this transducer withstand high-pressure washdown environments?
• The IP55 rating provides protection against water jets from any direction, making it suitable for most washdown applications. For continuous high-pressure exposure, additional protective measures may be necessary.
• What signal conditioning requirements does this transducer have?
• The voltage output signal works with most standard data acquisition systems. For long cable runs or electrically noisy environments, we recommend using signal conditioners with appropriate filtering capabilities.
