Model 786-500-IS Low-Frequency Intrinsically-Safe Accelerometer
Description
Wilcoxon’s Intrinsically-Safe 786-500-IS sensor is certified for usage in hazardous areas and offers clear signals at low vibration levels. The sensor is designed with extended low-end frequency response and improved signal-to-noise ratio compared to other general-purpose models. It can be used to detect both low- and high-speed vibrations and is optimized for detecting vibration on slow turning machinery such as cooling tower fans and slow-speed gearboxes.
The 786-500-IS sensor is classifed for usage in Class I Division 1/Zone 0/1 locations where ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, vapors or liquids are present continuously under normal operating conditions.
