What Is the 111-403-000-013-A1-B1-C086-D000-E050-F0-G000-H05 Proximity Measuring System?
When machinery vibration threatens uptime, the Vibro Meter 111-403-000-013-A1-B1-C086-D000-E050-F0-G000-H05 delivers precise, non-contact measurement using the eddy-current principle. This system from the vibro-meter® product line measures shaft relative vibration and gap/position in rotating machinery. It conforms to API 670 recommendations and offers Ex certified versions for hazardous areas. The system includes a transducer with a standard environment rating (A=1), M10×1 body thread (B=1), 86 mm body length (C=086), 00 mm unthreaded length (D=000), a 5.0 m integral cable (E=050), no optional protection (F=0), no flexible hose (G=000), and a total system length of 5 m (H=05). Weighing only 0.22 kg, it provides a compact solution for critical machinery protection.
Technical Specifications Breakdown
The 111-403-000-013-A1-B1-C086-D000-E050-F0-G000-H05 operates with a frequency response from DC to 20 kHz (−3 dB) and offers measurement ranges of 2 or 4 mm. The transducer works from −40 to +180°C with drift 5%. When used in an Ex Zone, the transducer and cable withstand −40 to +195°C. The cable, connector, and optional protection handle −40 to +200°C. The transducer head (tip and integral cable) is rated IP68 per IEC 60529. It withstands vibration of 5 g peak between 10 and 500 Hz (IEC 60068-2-26) and shock acceleration of 15 g peak (half sine-wave, 11 ms duration, IEC 60068-2-27). The transducer uses a wire coil Ø8 mm, Torlon tip, encapsulated in stainless steel body (AISI 316L) with high-temperature epoxy glue. Integral and extension cables are FEP covered 70 Ω coaxial cable, Ø3.6 mm, with self-locking miniature coaxial connectors.
Industry Applications
This system is ideal for shaft relative vibration and gap/position measurement chains in machinery protection and condition monitoring. It works seamlessly with VM600Mk2/VM600 and VibroSmart® machinery monitoring systems. In API 670 applications, it provides reliable data for turbine, compressor, and pump protection. The temperature-compensated design ensures stable performance across varying thermal conditions, making it suitable for both standard and hazardous environments.
Installation & Setup Guidance
Mount the transducer with the M10×1 thread into a properly tapped hole. Ensure the 86 mm body length is fully inserted. Connect the integral cable using the self-locking miniature coaxial connectors—hand-tighten until locked. The system requires a high-frequency power source from an IQS900 signal conditioner. For Ex zones, verify the cable temperature rating of −40 to +195°C. No additional protection is needed for standard applications (F=0).
Maintenance & Reliability
Inspect the transducer tip and cable periodically for damage. The IP68 head resists dust and water ingress. The stainless steel body (AISI 316L) and FEP cable covering provide excellent chemical resistance and mechanical toughness. Regular calibration checks ensure measurement accuracy. The temperature-compensated design reduces drift, extending service life and minimizing unplanned downtime.
Compatibility & Integration
The 111-403-000-013-A1-B1-C086-D000-E050-F0-G000-H05 integrates with IQS900 signal conditioners and VM600Mk2/VM600 and VibroSmart® monitoring systems. It supports voltage or current output with short-circuit protection. The system is designed for API 670 applications, ensuring compatibility with standard machinery protection architectures.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
Before ordering, verify the system length (5 m) and cable length (5.0 m ±500 mm) meet your installation requirements. Confirm the transducer thread (M10×1) matches your mounting point. For hazardous areas, ensure Ex certified versions are selected. SpareTechPLC offers this Vibro Meter system with fast shipping and expert support.
