The established range of Sensonics PZS accelerometers has been re-certified to allow an even wider scope of applications, including ATEX (EEx ia). Currently used to monitor machine vibration in potentially explosive atmospheres, the re-certified PZS can now be used on an extended range of gas turbine sets.
PZS accelerometers enable safe operation to be maintained in the event of two component failures in a hydrogen gas atmosphere. This performance has now been extended to include operation up to 100ºC with a maximum loaded capacitance rating of 47nF for Class IIC environments in a 28.5V circuit.
Applications for the PZS can now include installations where cable runs in excess of 400 metres can be achieved in the hazardous area utilising industry standard cable and safety barriers.
