Product catalog summary
Overview: The document details the specifications and applications of the Model 5477 Electronic Vibration Switch, designed for upgrading existing mechanical installations. It features a 2-wire design, accelerometer-based velocity response, and solid-state reliability, making it suitable for various industrial applications.
Features:
  • Accelerometer-based velocity response with a single setpoint.
  • Separate startup and monitor trip delays to prevent nuisance trips.
  • External setpoint adjustment and optional built-in vibration LCD indicator.
  • Flashing red LED for trip indication and optional digital display of vibration levels.
Applications: The switch is ideal for upgrading mechanical vibration switches in equipment such as centrifugal pumps, reciprocating compressors, centrifuges, cooling towers, industrial fans, electric motors, and natural gas/diesel engines.
Specifications:
  • Vibration Ranges and Frequency Range: 3 Hz to 500 Hz.
  • Setpoint: Externally adjustable with a tamper-proof graduated dial.
  • Startup Trip Delay: 30 seconds; Monitor Trip Delay: 3 seconds.
  • Trip Logic: AC Supply with N.C. triac standard, N.O. field selectable; DC Supply with N.O., latching.
  • Environmental Rating: NEMA 4, IP 65; Hazard Rating: CSA certified for Class I (C & D), Class II (E, F & G), Div.1.
  • Electrical Connection: 2 wires, AWG #18, 610 mm (24 in.) long.
Accessories and Options: Various relays and electronic modules are available for different power supplies and vibration ranges. The document provides part numbers for ordering these components.
Installation and Mounting: The switch features a removable electronics module in a weathertight, explosion-proof aluminum housing. It can be mounted using an NPT stud or a flange mount adapter for surface mounting.

5477B Electronic Vibration Switch-1

Electronic Vibration Switch 5477 2-Wire Design for Upgrading Existing Mechanical Installations The Model 5477 features two-wire hookup and solid state reliability. This makes it an ideal replacement for mechanical vibration switches when increased accuracy and repeatability are required. SEISMIC PRODUCTS Powered by an AC or DC control circuit, the unit closes or interrupts the circuit when the base vibration level exceeds the field adjustable setpoint. Separate start-up and monitor delays prevent nuisance trips. A flashing red LED illuminates upon a tripped condition and an optional LCD digital indicator provides a convenient display of vibration level. The removeable electronics module plugs into the weathertight, explosion-proof aluminum housing. The wire entry is sealed against moisture. An NPT stud provides a rigid, single hole mount to machinery. Typical Installations Features • Accelerometer based - velocity response • Single setpoint • Separate startup and monitor trip delays • External setpoint adjustment • Optional built-in vibration LCD indicator SWITCHES ENGINE COMPRESSOR User Wiring Diagrams Applications • Upgraded monitoring for mechanical vibration switch using existing wiring • Centrifugal Pumps • Reciprocating Compressors • Centrifuges • Cooling Towers • Industrial Fans • Electric Motors • Natural Gas/Diesel Engines Note: For dual setpoint needs or additional options, see multi-wire, fully optioned Models SW6000 (pg 4.07) or 440/450 (pg 4.02) electronic switches. 4.09 CENTRIFUGAL PUMP/MOTOR See Accessory P/N 94500-06X www.metrix1.com • [email protected] • Sales & Service Tel: 281-940-1802 • Fax: 713-559-9421 • 05/10
