VIBRATION TRANSMITTER model TR–I/ATEX
Certified according to ATEX 94/9/CE Directive
Function
TR-I integrated transmitter measures absolute vibrations in the hazardous area of the support of
any rotating machine and it can be interfaced directly by 2-wire technique (current loop 4÷20 mA)
to an acquisition system (PLC or DCS).
TR-I minimizes the incidence of installation and wiring which could normally limit the application
possibilities of traditional vibration monitoring systems.
The transmitter is certified for application in classified area as II 2GD Ex d IIC T6 Gb
Ex tb IIIC T85°C Db

General description
The transmitter, fixed directly on the machinery, generates a current signal (4÷20 mA) proportional
respectively to the vibration speed or to the vibration acceleration.
It consists of a stainless steel body with male thread machine connection ¼” 18 NPT and a die-cast
aluminium casing for the terminal board with female thread connection ¾” NPT.
It can be supplied complete with mechanical accessories for machine connection threads different
from those proposed as standard.
Note: The transmitter is duly calibrated at CEMB laboratory according to the customer’s
indications. It is not possible to perform further recalibration later on. The transmitter is ready after
the correct calibration as shown on dwg 99564-P here enclosed and it does not need adjustments
or maintenance.
Principle of operation
A suitable accelerometer, inside the transmitter body, produces a voltage signal proportional to the
vibration acceleration. This signal is appropriately conditioned by an electronic circuit ( placed inside
the transmitter body) and converted into a 4÷20 mA current signal proportional to the vibration.

Notes concerning certification:
1) The employ of Atex certified transmitters is not allowed for different hazardous conditions or
anyway those exceeding the data specified on the label of the transmitter itself.
2) The transmitter does not require maintenance. Any work regarding performance checks or
repair should only be carried out in a laboratory duly authorized by CEMB SpA.
