Series VBT Vibration Transmitter
Specifications - Installation and Operating Instructions
he Series VBT Vibration Transmitter continuously detects the vibration in a
T
ystem and monitors for unusual operating conditions and potential failure. The
s
vibration is converted into an analog signal at the current output. The VBT requires
no setup, and there is no software required for configuration. The 2-wire loop power
peration, combined with standard M12 micro cable connector and interchangeable
o
mounting studs (1/4˝-28 UNF/M8 (2) or the 1/4˝-28 UNF), makes for a fast and
reliable installation.
