About the PC420V-EX series

The Wilcoxon PC420V-EX series vibration transmitter provides a 4-20 mA output signal proportional to the overall velocity level. The ATEX- certified sensors are explosion-proof and are suitable for use in hazardous locations. RMS or peak value output can be selected according to the respective requirements.

The sensors come with a rugged, corrosion-resistant industrial housing, consisting of 303 stainless steel. It features a 3/8-24 x 3/8 depth tapped hole and 13-foot 18 AWG output leads as well as a SF20-2 mounting stud (included).

The PC420V-EX series enables cost-effective and continuous monitoring of the entire machine vibration. Trend data can easily be compared against standard vibration guides, can alert users to changing machine conditions, and can help guide maintenance in prioritizing the need for service without the investment and learning curve that come with other standard vibration monitoring systems.

Applications:

rotating machinery (600-3600 RPM / 10 to 60 Hz range)
