Sensors of series VIB 6.12x / VIB 6.14x are used
in industry to measure the following parameters:
– Vibration acceleration on rotating machines
– Cavitation in pumps
– Shock pulse signals in roller bearings
Sensors of series VIB 6.1**DEX are permitted
for use in the Ex-zone in accordance with ATEX
guidelines.
Safety instructions
• Read these operating instructions carefully and
keep them in a safe place.
• Observe the operating instructions of the devic-
es to be connected.
• Only use the sensors as intended and only for
the permitted purpose of application.
• Only use original accessories.
• Replace defective sensors and cables.
• Have installation carried out by qualified per-
sonnel exclusively.
• Comply with the applicable safety regulations
when performing installation tasks on the ma-
chine in operation.
• Lay the cables in accordance with the applicable
safety regulations.
• Observe the technical specifications and permis-
sible operating conditions. If in doubt, contact
PRUFTECHNIK.
• The sensors are compliant with the applicable
European directives. The complete Declaration

Safety instructions for installation and operation
in the
Ex-zone
:
• Only sensors of series VIB 6.1**DEX are permit-
ted to be operated in the Ex-zone.
• Sensors of series VIB 6.1**DEX are only to be
connected to certified intrinsically safe circuits
giving due consideration to the following max-
imum values:
Ui = 24 V; Pi = 300 mW; Ci = 15 nF; Li = negli-
gibly small.
• The permissible ambient temperature range is
between -30°C and +80°C [-22°F ... + 176°F].
• The European installation regulations are to be
observed (EN 60079-14).
• The information in the type-examination cer-
tificate is to be observed: TÜV 02 ATEX 1865,
incl. 1st supplement, issued march 1st, 2007
and 2nd supplement, issued June 22nd, 2011.

187°C
Maintenance and repair work
Operation of the sensors does not require any
maintenance. Repair work is not possible.
Storage
The following instructions are to be observed in
relation to temporary storage of the sensors prior
to installation:
• Store the sensors in the original packaging.
• Conditions at the storage location:
– Dry and free of dust
– Temperatures are within the permissible range
– Vibration-free
– No high electromagnetic fields
– No corrosive materials
Disposal
After use, dispose of the sensors in an environ-
mentally friendly manner and in accordance with
national provisions.
