The MTN/2285IT and MTN/2200IT series are sealed to IP67, are available with integral cables or 4-pin connectors and are suitable for measuring vibration levels and temperatures in areas where explosive gases, liquids or dust may be present.

Intended for monitoring applications, the MTN/2285IT series comprises sensors with dc current outputs, in the range 4-20mA, proportional to rms velocity (mm/s) and temperature as a voltage at a sensitivity of 10mV/degC. In addition, the operating temperature is certified to T6 (-55degC = Ta = +45degC).

The MTN/2200IT series is aimed more at analysis applications and features constant current accelerometers with isolated outputs for acceleration, in volts at a standard sensitivity of 100mV/g, and temperature at a sensitivity of 10mV/degC. The operating temperature for this series is certified to T4 (-55degC = Ta = +95degC).
