LP802 Series
Product Manual
Introduction
4-20 mA Vibration Monitoring Process Overview
4-20 mA technology can be used to measure temperature, pressure, flow and speed, as well as the overall vibration of rotating machines . Adding a vibration sensor/transmitter to the machine provides a critical measure of the machine’s health . It can be used to dentify changes in balance, alignment, gears, bearings, and many other potential faults . The purpose of the 4-20 mA analog current loop is to transmit the signal from an analog vibration sensor over a distance in the form of a 4-20 mA current signal . The current signal generated is proportional to the overall vibration of the equipment or machinery that is being monitored . This output current has a range of 4-20 mA, with 4 representing the minimum and 20 representing maximum amplitudes (within the range of 4-20 mA) . The 4-20 mA signal output is proportional to the overall amplitude generated within a defined frequency band . Therefore, the signal does not include data from frequencies outside the frequency band but includes all vibration (critical and non-critical faults) within that band .

Wiring
The Intrinsic Safety Control Drawing INS10012 below shows the installation requirements for CTC IS Sensors . As shown, properly installed barriers are required to limit the energy the sensor can receive . Cabling brings the signal from the sensor to the Zener diode barrier or galvanic isolator, which is the energy-limiting interface . The signal is transferred through the barrier (which can be located in a Class I Div 2 or non-hazardous area) to measurement equipment, such as a data collector or junction box, for further processing .
NOTES:
- Unspecified barrier strip shown
- See safety barrier manufacturer installation manual for information on proper wiring of sensor cables to the terminal blocks of the safety barrier
- Wire color for clarity only

Installation
Tighten the sensor to the mounting disk using 2 to 5 ft-lbs of mounting force.
– The mounting torque is important to the frequency response of the sensor for the following reasons:
- If the sensor is not tight enough, proper coupling between the base of the sensor and the mounting disk will not be achieved .
- If the sensor is over tightened, stud failure may occur .
– A coupling agent (such as MH109-3D epoxy) will maximize the high frequency response of your hardware, but is not required .
Permanent/Stud Mounting Surface Preparation
- Prepare flat surface using a spot face tool and pilot drill hole using a CTC spot face installation tool .
- The mounting surface should be clean and free from any residue or paint .
- Tap for required thread ( ¼-28 or M6x1) .
- Install sensor .
– Suggested Installation Tool Kit: MH117-1B
