  • Page 4: Purpose

    Purpose The vibration sensors of the KSI84xx family are used to measure vibration acceleration or velocity on machines and objects. The sensors measure the vibration amplitude within a specified frequency range in axial sensor direction and outputs the measuring result as a 4-20 mA current loop signal.
  • Page 5: Type Selection

    Either the acceleration (without integration) or the velocity (with integration) of the vibration can be measured. In addition, proper sensor function and input signal are monitored. Defects or overloads are signaled by an error current value. Before delivery, the sensor is parameterized according to the type code selected by the customer.
  • Page 6: Measuring Range

    The HP filter of velocity sensor types has a stopband attenuation of -50 dB/decade, the LP filter has a stopband attenuation of - 40 dB/decade. Frequency response 3.2 Measuring Range The “Range” value in the type table corresponds to the measured value at which the sensor current is 20 mA.
  • Page 7: Sensor Operation

    Sensor Operation 4.1 Sensor Mounting The choice of an appropriate measuring point on the target is important for accurate vibration measurement. It can be helpful to consult a specialist in machine moni- toring for this purpose. In general, it is advisable to measure vibrations as near as possible to their source. This minimizes errors by transmitting mechanical components.
  • Page 8: Sensor Cable

    4.2.2 Sensor Cable We recommend to use shielded cable for best EMI protection. The cable shield has be connected to earth potential at one end (see 4.2.3). Metra offers the following connection accessory:  Type 080G/W: Binder 713, female, straight (G) or angled (W) with screw terminals for connection an existing sensor cable;...
  • Page 9: Connection Of The Measuring Device

    4.3 Connection of the Measuring Device The following figures show possibilities to measure the sensor current. + PIN 2 + PIN 2 + PIN 2 KSI84xx KSI84xx KSI84xx - PIN 3 - PIN 3 - PIN 3 The sensor current can be measured either directly by a current meter connected in series or indirectly by measuring the voltage drop across the load resistance R between PIN 3 and the negative terminal.
  • Page 10: Sensor Self-Test

    4.4 Sensor Self-Test The sensor starts with a self-test once it is connected to the loop supply voltage. During self-test, the sensor outputs the maximum sensor current of 22 mA and the offset current of 4 mA for a duration of 2 seconds. These currents can be measured with an ampere meter to ensure proper function.
  • Page 11: Offset Current And Noise

    4.5.3 Offset Current and Noise The offset current I of the sensor is 4 mA. This is the zero point in measuring mode. The calibrated value is output while sensor elf-test for control. A slightly larger current value is measured when no vibration excitation is present, the current in rest.
  • Page 12: Maximum Dynamic Range

    4.5.5 Maximum Dynamic Range The maximum dynamic range is the maximum peak amplitude value that can be processed without overdriving the signal processing. For accelerometers, the maximum dynamic range is independent of frequency. For all velocity sensors, the maximum dynamic range depends on the frequency. It is halved when the frequency doubles.
  • Page 13: Settling Time T

    4.7.2 Settling Time T The averaging filter causes a signal delay. If the vibration signal changes abruptly, the sensor signal only changes smoothly. The signal change is not completed until the settling time T has elapsed. The table below shows the relationship between the number of averages N and the minimal settling time T.
  • Page 14: Error Messages

    4.9 Error Messages If the sensor current is between 4 mA and 22 mA, the sensor is in normal operational mode. Any current outside this range indicates a specific error. The following table shows the values used. Current Error Cause Remedy LOOP The sensor cannot...
