The electronic vibration switch you described is highly useful for monitoring machinery health, especially in environments where transient vibration spikes can lead to false alarms or shutdowns. Here’s a summary of its main features:
- Solid-State Crystal Accelerometer: Measures vibrations by generating an electrical output when deformed. This output is converted into a velocity-proportional signal.
- Solid-State Relay Activation: The velocity signal is compared against a preset threshold, triggering a relay if the limit is exceeded.
- Time Delay Feature: Prevents unnecessary alarms or shutdowns due to short-lived vibration spikes, especially useful during machine startup, which commonly involves higher transient vibration.
- Adjustable Alarm Delay: Comes with a standard 3-second delay, adjustable between 2 to 15 seconds, enabling field customization based on specific operational needs.
- Weight: The unit weighs approximately 2.7 kg (6 lbs), making it relatively compact for industrial applications.
This design is ideal for industrial settings where reliable monitoring and protection against high vibration levels are necessary.
