PA150 800-150-000-011 probe mounting adaptor with proximity measurement chain

Description:

The PA150 probe mounting adaptor with proximity measurement chain is a complete selfcontained measurement chain/system, using a TQ912 and IQS900 proximity measurement chain, from Meggitt’s vibro-meter® product line. This probe mounting adaptor with proximity measurement chain allows contactless measurement of the relative displacement of moving machine elements. It is particularly suitable for measuring the relative vibration and axial position of rotating machine shafts, such as those found in steam, gas and hydraulic turbines, as well as in alternators, turbo-compressors and pumps. The PA150 probe mounting adaptor consists of a TQ912 proximity sensor with a 1 m long integral cable and an IQS900 signal conditioner in a customised housing, which eliminates the need for an EA902 extension cable. The IQS900 signal conditioner supports optional diagnostic circuitry (that is, built-in self-test (BIST)) that automatically detects and remotely indicates problems with a measurement chain. In addition, For test purposes, the IQS900 provides a “raw” voltage output signal and supports a test voltage input signal that allow the measurement chain/system operation to be tested in situ, thereby simplifying commissioning and troubleshooting. Refer to the TQ902/TQ912, EA902 and IQS900 proximity measurement chain data sheet for further information. The PA150 probe mounting adaptor facilitates the external mounting of the reverse-mount TQ912 proximity sensor without machine disassembly. The removable housing makes it easier to adjust the gap, even while the machine is running. Designed for harsh industrial environments and certified for use in hazardous areas, the adjustable stainless-steel rod and aluminium housing assembly protect the proximity sensor and the signal conditioner.
