MC 5HD Vibration Transmitter

The MC5 monitor lets you measure mechanical vibrations. It’s 4-20 mA output works as a signal transmitter for PLCs or DCS. With 2 additional relay outputs of Caution and Warning you can use it as a low-cost monitor and great versatility. It has a frontal display where it shows the vibration in Real Time and also the relays state.

Alarm Threshold Setting

While measuring vibration you can set both the Caution and Warning thresholds. When this limit is surpassed you can trigger sound or light emitting alarms, independently, as well as a contactor that could trigger a protection to stop the machine being monitored

Relay Programming

You can configure relays in 6 different ways:

  • Milestone: As the limit is reached the relay activates
  • Window: You set a low and a high value. Exceeding both limits, the relay behaves the same.
  • Sensor error: Relay is activated by an error in reading the sensor.
  • Power Supply: Relay is activated any time that power is feeding the Module
  • Disconnected: Relay is in the off state (disengaged)
  • Delay: You can configure a delay from 0 to 3600 sec. Either in the activation or deactivation of the relay.
  • Hysteresis: You can configure it in between 0,1 to 25% of the input range or in between 1 and 2999 counts.
