Model 685A09 - Linear Adjust Mechanical Vibration Switch

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document introduces the Model 685A09 Linear Adjust Mechanical Vibration Switch by IMI Sensors, a division of PCB Piezotronics. This switch is designed to offer superior control over trip sensitivity compared to traditional mechanical vibration switches, providing enhanced protection for machinery.
Key Features:
  • Linear trip adjustment allows for precise sensitivity control (~1/4 turn per g).
  • Improved sensitivity repeatability upon reset.
  • Equipped with a DPDT relay with 15 amp dry contacts.
  • Available with remote reset options for 120, 240 VAC or 24 VDC.
  • Cost-effective solution for critical machinery protection.
Applications: The switch is suitable for use in cooling towers, HVAC systems, motors, pumps, blowers, fin fans, and large exhaust and vent fans, providing 24/7 protection.
Technical Specifications:
  • Measurement Range: 0 to 7 g pk (0 to 98.1 m/s² pk).
  • Frequency Range: 0 to 6,000 cpm (0 to 100 Hz).
  • Relay: 15A/480V AC, 0.25A/250V DC, with latching contacts.
  • Operating Temperature Range: -40 to 140 °F (-40 to 60 °C).
  • Enclosure Rating: IP66.
  • Physical Dimensions: 4.35 in x 3.30 in x 4.35 in (110.5 mm x 83.8 mm x 110.5 mm).
  • Weight: 2.1 lb (953 gm).
  • Housing Material: Aluminum Alloy.
Design and Manufacturing: The switch's innovative design and manufacturing processes make it more cost-competitive, especially in the OEM market. It features a magnet with linear adjustment technology for the sensing element.
Certifications: The product is ISO 9001 certified and A2LA accredited to ISO 17025, with CE approved and intrinsically safe versions available.

Model 685A09 - Linear Adjust Mechanical Vibration Switch-1

IMI Sensors: A PCB Piezotronics Division Mechanical Vibration Switch The new patent pending design innovation provides better control over trip sensitivity than any other mechanical vibration switch on the market Highlights n n Low cost protection for critical machinery Outperforms traditional mechanical vibration switches Linear trip adjustment (~1/4 turn per g) Better sensitivity repeatability on reset DPDT relay, 15 amp dry contacts 120, 240 VAC or 24 VDC remote reset options Cooling towers HVAC systems Motors & pumps Blowers Fin fans Large exhaust and vent fans 24/7 protection IMI Sensors has developed this new mechanical vibration switch, Model 685A09, which not only effectively competes in the mechanical vibration switch market but also has a significant technical advantage. This Linear Adjust Mechanical Vibration Switch has a unique new design that provides much better sensitivity adjustment than traditional designs. This allows a user to better control the trip level in the switch and improve protection of their equipment (reference test data below). Additionally, due to the design and manufacturing processes used to build the switch, it is more cost competitive than any of the existing mechanical vibration switches on the market, including pricing advantage in the OEM market.
