Applications and Use Cases for the 200355-13-00-00

This accelerometer excels in rotating machinery monitoring, including pumps, motors, and compressors. Its 100% relative humidity tolerance and IP68 rating make it suitable for wet or condensing environments. The 100 mV/g sensitivity is ideal for general-purpose vibration analysis. Additionally, the stainless steel construction resists corrosion in chemical processing plants.

Installation Guide for the 200355-13-00-00

Mount the accelerometer using the included magnetic base kit (Mounting Stud 13). The mounting thread is 1/4-28 female, and the recommended mounting torque is 2 to 5 ft-lb (2.7 to 6.8 N-m). Ensure the mounting surface is clean and flat for optimal coupling. The electrical connector is a 2-pin Mil-C-5015 located at the top. Allow a settling time of 2.0 seconds within 1% of bias after power-up.

Maintenance and Reliability of the 200355-13-00-00

Regularly inspect the cable and connector for damage. The welded hermetic seal and stainless steel housing provide long-term protection against moisture and contaminants. Verify output bias voltage remains between 8 and 12 VDC during operation. For maximum reliability, follow the manufacturer's maintenance guidelines.
