Product Overview
Integrated Monitoring for Critical Rotating Equipment
The 990-04-70-01-007 accepts input from a compatible 3300 NSv proximity probe and matching extension cable, converting shaft vibration into a standard 4–20 mA analog output. In addition to the process signal, it provides a dynamic vibration output for diagnostics, allowing maintenance personnel to perform detailed vibration analysis without interrupting normal operation.
Its potted industrial design offers excellent resistance to moisture, vibration, and harsh operating environments, making it ideal for continuous machine condition monitoring.
