Key Features & Engineering Advantages
True Triaxial Intelligence:Monitors vibration in three orthogonal planes simultaneously, capturing complex fault signatures like unbalance, misalignment, and structural looseness that single-axis sensors might miss.
Dual-Protocol Versatility:Compatible with both ISA100 and WirelessHART standards, allowing the sensor to fit into existing industrial wireless mesh networks regardless of the manufacturer.
PeakDemod Technology:Features specialized signal processing (PeakDemod spectrum) to isolate high-frequency impact energy, making it highly effective for early-stage detection of rolling element bearing defects.
Intrinsically Safe Design:Certified for Class I, Division 1 areas, allowing for permanent installation in explosive or hazardous environments typical of oil, gas, and chemical processing.
Flexible Installation:Supports direct stud mounting for maximum frequency response or tethered mounting options for assets where surface temperatures exceed standard limits.
