Technical FAQs:

1. What measurement principle does the Velomitor CT use?
   • It uses seismic velocity sensing technology to directly measure the vibration velocity of machinery casings.
2. Does this sensor require external signal conditioning?
   • No, it outputs a conditioned signal that can be fed directly into standard monitoring systems without the need for additional conditioning equipment.
3. What types of equipment is it best suited for?
   • It is designed for medium and large rotating machines, including motors, pumps, compressors, and turbines.
4. Can the Velomitor CT detect early-stage faults in machinery?
   • Yes, it is particularly effective at detecting early signs of imbalance, misalignment, and bearing wear, which are critical indicators of impending mechanical failure.
5. Is the sensor installation directional?
   • Yes, correct orientation is important for obtaining accurate measurements.
6. How is the sensor typically mounted?
   • It can be mounted using stud mounting or industrial-grade adhesive, depending on the application.
7. Is field calibration required for the sensor?
   • No, it is factory-calibrated and does not require recalibration during installation or regular operation.
8. What type of output signal does the Velomitor CT provide?
   • The sensor provides an analog velocity signal that corresponds directly to the vibration velocity of the monitored machine.
9. Can the sensor operate in harsh environments?
   • Yes, it is specifically designed to withstand the challenging conditions found in industrial environments, including high vibration, dust, and temperature extremes.
10. Is the sensor suitable for continuous, 24/7 operation?
    • Yes, it is intended for continuous, round-the-clock condition monitoring, offering reliable performance in demanding industrial settings.
