ST5484E Seismic Velocity 4-20 mA Transmitter

Datasheet

OVERVIEW
The ST5484E is a self-contained seismic velocity transmitter
that incorporates a piezoelectric accelerometer, signal integra-
tor, RMS peak detector, and a 4-20 mA signal conditioner into a
single package. It can be mounted directly on a machine case or
bearing housing without intervening signal conditioning equip-
ment. The amplitude of the integrated acceleration (velocity)
signal is converted to a proportional 4-20 mA signal compat-
ible with industrial process control instrumentation such as Flying Leads 4-Pin Terminal Block
PLCs, DCSs, and SCADA systems that can provide trending and/ (Option D=0, 1, 5, or 6) (2-wire (Option D=3)
or alarming capabilities for a simplified vibration monitoring shown; 4-wire also available)
strategy.

When the flying lead or terminal block connector options are

chosen, the transmitter does not need a separate environmental
housing and can directly accept conduit. To reduce installed
cost, it can be used with barriers for intrinsically safe installa-
tions, or wired directly to explosion-proof conduit fittings for
explosion- proof installations.

When continuous, local indication of
vibration levels is required at the trans-
mitter, the Metrix ST5491E provides
these capabilities. Its sensing and transmitter 1180
elements are similar to the ST5484E, but it
includes a convenient 2½ digit LCD display in
an integral conduit elbow and is rated for use
in temperatures from -10oC to +70oC. Refer to Why Measure Velocity?
Metrix datasheet 1004598 for ordering informa-
tion and detailed specifications. Acceleration and displacement levels are heavily influenced by
the frequencies at which the vibration is occurring, while veloc-
ity levels are much less influenced. Thus, although acceleration,
velocity, and displacement measurements are inter-related

WIRING CONNECTIONS

Table 5 – Wiring Connection Legend

Connector Type Dynamic Signal Connections Power Connections
MIL-C-5015 Not Available 24 VDC power may be connected to all ST5484E models without regard
2-wire flying leads Not Available to polarity. Sensor uses IPT® independent polarity diode bridge circuit
that will always orient voltage correctly inside sensor, regardless of
2-wire terminal block Not Available polarity externally.
4-wire flying leads Red: Power +
Blue: Power -
White: Dynamic Signal - NOTE: Although the ST5484E allows polarity in either direction, installations
Black: Dynamic Signal + using I.S. barriers will need to observe correct polarity at the barrier input side.
However, the barrier output side (i.e., sensor connection) may be wired without
4-wire terminal block regard to polarity.
