Product Details

OVERVIEW

CV series are built-in-amplifier type (IEPE) velocity transducers designed for continuous condition monitoring of rotating machines such as turbines, compressors and pumps.

The transducers can be used for machine condition monitoring required by standards such as ISO 10816, ISO 20816 and API 670.

Multiple models are available: CV-861 (connector type), CV-862 (integral cable type), CV-420 (4-20 mA loop powered), and CV-425 (4-20 mA with temperature output).

CV Series

Piezoelectric velocity transducers for continuous casing vibration monitoring of turbines, compressors, pumps and other rotating machinery.

Built-in-amplifier type (IEPE)

Integrated electronics provide a low-impedance voltage output, simplifying cabling and improving noise immunity.

Intrinsically safe

Certified for hazardous area use: TIIS, ATEX (Ex ia IIC T4 Ga), and KTL.

Marine type approval

Holds type approval certificate for marine applications.

IP67 dust tight and waterproof

Hermetically sealed stainless steel case rated IP67 for harsh industrial environments.

CE and UKCA compliant

Meets European CE and UK UKCA regulatory requirements.

4-20 mA loop powered option

CV-420 model provides direct 4-20 mA output for easy integration with PLC/DCS control systems via two-wire loop power.
