2  Functions and features

The vibration sensor detects the vibration in the system (measured / evaluated 

physical unit = vibration velocity)� This is converted into an analog signal at the 

current output� The switching output behavior is determined using the two setting 

rings�

3  Installation 

 

► Mount only in a thick housing wall (e.g. transport thread).

 

Ensure that the signal direction is correct�

 

Ensure a safe vibration transmission and allow no elastic intermediate layers�

 

Tighten the sensor with a tightening torque of 15 Nm�

4  Electrical connection

The unit must be connected by a qualified electrician� The national and 

international regulations for the installation of electrical equipment must be 

adhered to�
