Mechanical Monitoring and TSI Characteristics

The 330500-01-00 sensor incorporates a piezoelectric element that translates casing vibration into an electrical signal proportional to velocity. Unlike eddy-current displacement probes that mandate precise gap voltage validation (-10 VDC targets), the Velomitor system provides a continuous output directly related to seismic intensity. Effective rotor dynamics analysis requires signal fidelity; implement strict cross-talk suppression by utilizing high-quality shielded cabling to prevent electromagnetic interference from peripheral high-power AC lines or variable frequency drive conductors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the 316L stainless steel housing provide shielding against electromagnetic noise?

A: Yes, the hermetically sealed stainless steel construction offers robust environmental protection and assists in mitigating external electrical interference when properly grounded at the monitor end.

Q: Can this sensor be mounted on any surface orientation?

A: Yes, the piezoelectric element is omnidirectional regarding static acceleration (gravity). However, the mounting surface must be rigid and machined flat to ensure accurate vibration transmission without attenuation.

Field Installation Guidelines

  1. Machine the mounting surface to a flat, smooth finish to optimize the contact area and vibration energy transfer.
  2. Apply a thin layer of light machine oil to the transducer base to eliminate air gaps at the mounting interface.
  3. Tighten the sensor into the 1/2-20 UNF mounting hole until the base is fully seated against the machine casing.
  4. Route all signal cabling away from high-power AC leads to minimize potential electromagnetic noise induction.
  5. Perform a system loop check and verify the bias voltage level at the monitor input terminals prior to commissioning.
