Precision Monitoring with the 177230-01-02-00 Seismic Transmitter

The 177230-01-02-00 is a high-performance seismic transmitter designed to convert low-level vibration signals into a standardized 4–20 mA output. This signal can be easily read by PLCs, DCS systems, or other control systems, enabling streamlined data collection and analysis across various industrial platforms.

Built for monitoring vibration velocity, this transmitter is commonly installed on rotating machinery like pumps, compressors, fans, and motors. Its core sensing element is engineered for accuracy and stability, offering a dependable solution even in demanding industrial conditions.

Key features include:

• Measurement Range: Typically 0–1.0 in/s (0–25.4 mm/s) RMS velocity

• Output Signal: 4–20 mA, proportional to vibration level

• Frequency Response: 10 Hz to 1,000 Hz (±3 dB)

• Power Requirements: Loop-powered, 12–36 VDC

• Mounting: Stud-mounted or optional magnetic base

• Enclosure: Rugged stainless steel, IP65-rated for harsh environments

The ability to capture accurate vibration data in real time makes the 177230-01-02-00 indispensable for detecting early signs of mechanical issues such as imbalance, misalignment, looseness, or bearing wear—before they lead to failure.

Versatile Applications and Seamless Integration

The 177230-01-02-00 is widely deployed across industries like oil and gas, power generation, chemical processing, water treatment, and manufacturing. Thanks to its 4–20 mA output, it integrates easily into both legacy and modern automation systems without the need for signal converters or complex configurations.

Its compatibility with standard control system inputs allows maintenance teams to build robust, scalable monitoring systems. Whether used in a centralized monitoring architecture or distributed across remote field assets, the transmitter enables consistent data collection without the need for high-end analyzers.

Application benefits include:

• Improved maintenance scheduling

• Early fault detection

• Enhanced safety through continuous monitoring

• Reduced unplanned downtime

• Lower overall maintenance costs

Additionally, when installed in hazardous areas, the device can be paired with appropriate intrinsic safety barriers, making it suitable for environments with explosive gases or flammable materials.
