Purpose The vibration sensors of the KSI84xx family are used to measure vibration acceleration, velocity or displacement 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.
Either the acceleration (without integrator), the velocity (integrator) or the displacement (double integrator) 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.
The HP filter of the velocity sensor types has a stopband attenuation of -50 dB/decade, the LP filter has a stopband attenuation of - 40 dB/decade. Frequency response The HP filter of the displacement sensor types has a stopband attenuation of -60 dB/decade.
3.3 Type Code The type code is printed on the sensor housing. It is composed according to the following key. Note that only integer values without decimal places are printed in the type code. KSI84QM-HHH-LLL-RRR Range in m/s² (1…3 places) Low-Pass filter in mm/s (2 places) -3dB cutoff frequency...

For accelerometers, the dynamic range is independent of frequency. The sensor setting LP of the low-pass filter defines the corresponding range of values. For all velocity sensors, the dynamic range depends on the frequency. It is halved when the frequency doubles. The dynamic range of the displacement sensors depends strongly on the frequency.
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.
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...
