Vibration sensors receive hazard
certification
Monitran's intrinsically safe vibration sensors are designed with the same performance as its standard range, but with enhanced safety circuitry.
Monitran has been awarded IECEx certification on all 18 of its intrinsically safe vibration sensors IECEx is an international standard under which a product's certification approves its suitability for use in hazardous atmospheres, where flammable liquids, vapours, gases or combustible dusts are likely to occur and risk fire or explosion through sparks or contact with hot surfaces

The MTN/1100SHC accelerometer is specifically designed to provide effective vibration and shock monitoring in a wide range of OEM, industrial and machinery applications, where space is limited.
Andy Anthony, Monitran's Operations Director, said: "Submitting our well-established intrinsically safe sensors for IECEx approval, in addition to their long standing European ATEX certification, now brings Monitran the ability to satisfy the needs of an even wider range of potential users throughout the world via a single approval standard".
"Users across the world will be able to select Monitran's products with confidence".
"As our product range expands and improves we intend to seek IECEx approval, as a matter of course, for all suitable new products".
These intrinsically safe vibration sensors are designed with the same performance as Monitran's standard range, but with enhanced safety circuitry.
They may be used in mining and underground environments (Group I) and petrochemical and dust environments (Group II).
They are available with AC outputs for vibration analysis with portable or on-line analysers and DC outputs for connection to PLC and other control systems giving 24/7 monitoring and control of vital machinery.
All products are detailed in Monitran's general and special purpose vibration sensors guide.
Suitable application areas for Monitran's IECEx-certified sensors include: mining; oil refineries, production and processing plants; automotive and aerospace refuelling stations; chemical processing plants; paper and textile manufacturing; and sewage treatment plants.
