Theory of Operation

The 200150-09-05 accelerometer contains an internal piezoelectric ceramic sensing device arranged in a shear geometry. When the machinery undergoes vibration, the sensing element is subjected to motion and generates an electrical charge. The internal electronics of the accelerometer then convert this charge into a differential voltage signal. This output signal is directly proportional to the dynamic acceleration occurring parallel to the sensitive axis of the transducer.

System Compatibility and Replacement Models

System Compatibility:

• Trendmaster ProTIMs (Standard Acceleration-to-Velocity channel type, -01 option)
• Trendmaster 2000 systems
• 200100 Dual Acceleration-to-Velocity flexiTIM Module
• 89130-01 Acceleration-to-Velocity TIM (Transducer Interface Module)

Alternative/Alternative Replacement Models:

• 200155-09-05 (Low Frequency Version)
• 200157-09-05 (Acceleration Enveloping Version)

Differences from Alternative Models:

• 200150-09-05: Designed for general industrial applications. It operates in a standard frequency range of 10 Hz to 1,000 Hz, features a fast settling time of ≤300 ms, and has a lower broadband electrical noise floor (14.7 mm/s²).
• 200155-09-05: Tailored for slow rotating equipment (like Fin-Fans). It extends down to a low frequency of 2.0 Hz up to 10,000 Hz, but has a significantly longer settling time (≤2,000 ms) and higher electrical noise (24.5 mm/s²).
• 200157-09-05: Specifically engineered for roller element bearings and detecting cavitation effects. It operates across 10 Hz to 10,000 Hz and must only be used if the application specifically requires acceleration enveloping.
