Sure Cross® Wireless Q45VA Vibration and Temperature Sensor
The Wireless Q45VA All-in-One Sensor Node combines Banners VT1 Vibration and Temperature Sensor with the Sure Cross® Q45VT Wireless Sensor Node. The Q45VA is a compact, industrial, battery-powered device that wirelessly communicates with any Sure Cross Performance Gateway on a variety of machines to analyze vibration and temperature data to identify and predict failures in rotating machinery.
Benefits
• Delivers pre-processed high accuracy vibration values for monitoring rotating equipment such as:
◦ Motors
◦ Pumps
◦ Rotary Compressors
◦ Exhaust or HVAC fan motors
◦ Spindles
• Easy-to-use rugged device that can be easily mounted to equipment
• Use with the DXM Wireless Controller to track and trend vibration and temperature characteristics in real time to predict need for maintenance, predict potential component failure and avoid process downtime.
• Battery powered for “peel and stick” functionality with 2+ years of battery life
• Detects vibration characteristics on 2 axis (radial and axial) such as RMS Velocity, High Frequency Acceleration, Peak Acceleration, Peak Velocity Component Frequency, etc
• Achieves vibration accuracy of ±10% RMS velocity (in/sec)
• Eliminate control wires—The Sure Cross wireless system is a radio frequency network with integrated I/O that removes the need for power and control wires
• Reduce complexity—Machine or process reconfiguration made easier; great for retrofit applications
• Deploy easily—Simplify installation on existing equipment enables deployment in remote and hard-to-access locations where implementing a wired solution would be difficult, impractical, or not cost-effective
• Transmit power levels of 250 mW or 1 Watt for 900 MHz models and 65 mW for 2.4 GHz models are user-selectable
• DIP switches for user configuration of sample time and vibration characteristics
• Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology ensures reliable data delivery within the unlicensed Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band
• Transceivers provide bidirectional communication between the Gateway and Node, including fully acknowledged data transmission
• Diagnostics allow user-defined output settings in the unlikely event of lost RF signal
