Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications and features of the Metrix Model 5535 and 5545 seismic vibration signal conditioners and transmitters. These models are designed to interface with machine casing-mounted accelerometers, producing a 4-20 mA current output proportional to the measured vibration levels.
Specifications:
  • Input Signal: 10 to 100 mV/g.
  • Sensor Excitation: 19 VDC, 4 mA constant current, with an option for 10 mA.
  • Output: 4-20 mA DC, with a maximum load resistance of 600 ohms.
  • Frequency Response: 20 to 20 KHz for acceleration, 2 to 2 KHz for velocity.
  • Sensor Malfunction Indicator: Output current drops below 3.6 mA, and the green LED turns off.
Features:
  • Cost-effective alternatives to rack mount monitors.
  • Capable of driving dynamic signals over long distances (up to 300 meters or 1000 feet).
  • Includes a BNC connector for FFT analyzers and optional galvanic isolation.
  • High, low, and band-pass frequency filters available for specific machine conditions.
Applications: Suitable for gear mesh monitoring, industrial fans, motors, generators, process pumps, centrifuges, natural gas/diesel engines, and gas turbines.
Installation and Configuration:
  • DIN-rail mount available for machinery skid installations.
  • Optional environmental enclosures for outdoor installations.
  • Various sensor input types and mounting styles are supported, with a range of vibration outputs.
Additional Options:
  • Optional LCD digital indicator for Model 5545.
  • Optional galvanic isolation between input, output, and power.
  • Optional high-pass and low-pass filters that do not affect dynamic signal output.
Environmental and Safety Ratings:
  • Temperature limits: Model 5535 (-40° to +66°C), Model 5545 (-10° to +66°C).
  • Input power: 20 to 30 VDC with reverse polarity and transient protection.
  • Hazardous area rating: CSA & NRTL/C Class I, Div. 2 for safety certification.
  • Electromagnetic compatibility: CE Mark certified.

INTRINSICALLY SAFE LISTED SENSOR DIVISION 2 HAZARDOUS AREA ACCEL. Accepts signals from machine casing mounted accelerometers and produces a 4-20 mA current output proportional to the measured variable. The detection circuit is responsive to true RMS vibration but the output may be scaled either to peak or RMS units. A green LED indicates sensor and cable integrity. In the event of sensor failure, the LED extinguishes and the output current is driven below 3.6 mA, thereby signaling a malfunction. A BNC connector gives access to the buffered input signal for local analysis. Optional features for either model include lters and galvanic isolation between input, output and power supply. 2.06 ACCEL.
