Wilcoxon Research has announced the release of six Class I Division 2 (Zone 2) accelerometers and three compatible cable-connector assemblies suitable for Zone 2 environments.
The six sensors all have a sensitivity of 100mV/g, and a tight + 5 per cent sensitivity tolerance, commonly called general-purpose industrial accelerometers.
The standard top-exit model is the 786A-D2.
The standard side-exit model is the 787A-D2, which is also available with a metric M8 mounting stud, model 787A-M8-D2.
The 780A-D2 is a compact sensor ideal for portable data collection.
The integral cable model is the 786F-D2.
The 786T-D2 is a dual output model that senses both vibration and temperature.
Three compatible connector-cable assemblies, suitable for Class I Division 2 (Zone 2) environments, are also offered by Wilcoxon Research.
Each cable connector can be lock wired to prevent it from inadvertently backing off the sensor.
The R6D2-J9T2A mates a MILC-C-5015 style two-pin connector with a twisted pair, Teflon-jacketed cable for harsh, 200C industrial environments.
The R6D2-J10 mates a MIL-C-5015 two-pin connector with a twisted pair cable; the cable has an Enviroprene jacket, suited to 125C industrial environments.
The R6D2-J9T2A and R6D2-J10 are compatible with all of the Class I Division 2 (Zone 2) sensors except the 786T-D2.
The 786T-D2 sensor is compatible with the R6GD2-J9T3A, a three-pin connector and three-wire cable with Teflon jacket.
The sensors were approved by agencies in both North America and Europe.
CSA certified the six sensors to be rated for use in Class I Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D, E, F, G environments.
Kema approved the sensors for Atex operation in Class I Zone 2 AEx na IIC T4.
Class I Division 2 (Zone 2) certification is not available for cables, however, the R6D2-J9T2A, R6D2-J10, and R6GD2-J9T3A are deemed suitable for installation in hazardous areas.
The final installation certification of the cables is determined by the governing authority.
