Epro PR9268/017-100 Machinery Health Sensor Original

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What type of vibrations can the PR9268/017-100 measure?
It is designed to measure absolute vibration velocities in an omnidirectional range using a seismic measurement principle.

What is the expected sensitivity of the sensor?
The nominal sensitivity is 17.5 mV per mm/s, measured at 80 Hz and 20°C under a 100 kΩ load.

What kind of environment is the sensor suitable for?
The sensor is built with a stainless steel housing and rated IP65, suitable for harsh industrial environments up to 100°C.

Can the PR9268/017-100 be used in explosive atmospheres?
No, this specific model is not certified for hazardous location use. Models like PR9268/20x or 60x variants are suitable for such environments.

How should the sensor be mounted?
It should be mounted using the supplied M10x1 to M6 bolt on a clean, flat surface, and tightened with a torque of 3.8 to 4.4 Nm.

What kind of signal output does this sensor provide?
The output is an analog voltage proportional to the vibration velocity, generated by the relative motion between coil and housing.

Is the sensor maintenance-free?
Yes, the sensor is maintenance-free under normal operating conditions. However, periodic resistance and insulation checks are recommended.

What is the maximum vibration amplitude the sensor can withstand?
The sensor supports a vibration amplitude of up to 500 µm peak-to-peak, with 4000 µm as the mechanical limit stop.
