1. OVERVIEW
The ST5484E Seismic Vibraon Transmit-
ter combines a vibraon sensor and signal
condioner in a single package for sensing
machinery vibraon level and transming a
proporonal 4-20 mA signal directly to PLCs,
DCSs, monitors, and computers. Versions
with 2 wires, 4 wires, terminal blocks, or
MIL-type connector are available.
The transmier has no moving parts and is
encapsulated in a stainless steel housing.
Each transmier is factory calibrated to the
sensivity marked on the label. An oponal
dynamic signal output can be specied.
Refer to Metrix Datasheet 1004457 for
specicaons, ordering informaon, and
outline dimensions.
2. MOUNTING
It is important to solidly mount the transmit-
ter body to the machine surface. Refer to
secon 6 on transducer placement. Dier-
ent machine preparaons are required for
the two basic transmier mounng styles;
NPT (Naonal Pipe Thread) and machine
thread (UNF and Metric). Transmiers with
the NPT type mounng stud are secured by
the thread engagement and the base of the
transmier does not contact the machine
surface. Transmiers with the machine
thread studs must contact the machine
surface. The base of the transmier must
make square and direct contact. This re-
quires preparing the surface of the machine
with a 1 1/2 inch counter bore (surfacing
tool). This tool can be used with a portable
