Murphy EVS-A Specification Sheet

Electronic Vibration Switch (EVS)
Also available, optional internal battery powered
EVS switch model, designed for use on
ignition powered systems.
The Electronic Vibration Switch (EVS) protects against equipment failure by monitoring velocity-based vibration
levels and providing an early warning or shutdown when abnormal vibration is detected.
The EVS product can be connected to Murphy's TTD™ annunciator, Centurion™ or Millennium™ controllers for
increased functionality. It also complements Murphy's VS2™ shock and excessive vibration/pulsation switch, which
is designed to detect an abnormal shock or pulsation due to equipment failure and to shutdown other equipment in
a system to prevent further damage.
The EVS product can be used on any equipment
where abnormal vibration could lead to equipment
damage, including:
•
Cooling fans
•
Engines
•
Pumps
•
Compressors
•
Gear boxes
•
Motors
•
Generator sets
