Periodic monitoring provides a good solution for Balance of Plant machinery. This is because of the large number of points to be monitored each month. Too many to have continuous monitoring on all of them!

Still, online vibration monitoring required for some of measurement points because of following reasons and benefits

• Machines with higher than normal maintenance
  (Faster deterioration of machine health)
• Personnel safety (must climb to reach measurement points)
• Better operating condition visibility
• Hard to get to machines (like cooling towers)
• Increased workloads for personnel

Vibration Switch

Introduction Vibration switch provides essential protection for critical fans, pumps, motors and other industrial machines. It measures the vibration to which it exposed and provides relay out put when vibration exceeds the predetermined threshold values.

The Vibration Switch is well equipped for machinery protection application. It offers bright 3½ digit display, precise 4-20mA analog output and one relay output with status indicator. In this way it is three-in-one product. Set point setting for relay output is user configurable. Remote sensor mounting gives better performance and higher temperature compliance.
