An Effective “First Alert” Wireless Vibration System
 
Why use valuable manpower to collect vibration data on healthy machines? Why settle for measurements once a month when you can have them daily? Why have people venture into hazardous areas to collect routine measurements? The Echo® Wireless Vibration System can safely “look” at the machine’s health several times per day and provide data to your existing vibration or plant monitoring system.

Using patent pending Ultra-narrow Bandwidth RF Communication and Extended Range RF (ERRF) technologies, the radio operates in the 902 to 928 MHz unlicensed ISM band, has a -155 dBm noise floor and -145 dBm sensitivity. The radio is ultra sensitive and can detect a RF signal level as low as a millionth of a billionth of a milliwatt! Actual tests in a power plant achieved successful signal transmission distances of 1/3 mile through buildings and could have gone farther. Outdoor tests have achieved transmission distances measured in miles. And all were at only 1 mW ERP!

In addition to the vibration measurements listed above, Echo® provides accurate battery and RF status. Using a programmed vibration threshold, Echo® can detect if the machine is not running, and if not, skip a measurement to conserve battery power. It also has an optional Raw Vibration Output (with optional cable) for use with a portable data collector.

Wireless Vibration Sensor

Model 670A01

• Batteries last over 5 years
• Transmits long distances
• Eliminates expensive cable runs

The Echo® Wireless Vibration Sensor is a stand alone, battery powered, industrial vibration sensor. At the default setting of three measurements per day (user programmable) battery life is greater than 5 years. A Raw Vibration (RV) output version includes an integral connector that can be used with an optional cable and a standard vibration data collector for fault analysis. The sensor can be programmed via RS-232 to set the transmission (collection) interval and a Residual Vibration Level (RVL) if desired. Echo® has an LED that provides visual feedback on the status of the sensor, including: on, off, measuring, transmitting, or changing states. The sensor has an embedded magnetic switch and can be activated or deactivated by holding a strong magnet next to the sensor. Upon activation, the sensor makes and transmits a set of measurements.

IMI is also proud to offer the EchoPlus®; a Wireless Junction Box that works with permanently installed sensors. Replace or supplement your current junction boxes for wireless operation.

Wireless Junction Box

Model 672A01

• Converts existing sensors to wireless
• Runs independently or with existing junction box
• Uses 24 VDC or battery power

The EchoPlus® Wireless Junction Box is an 8-channel junction box that instantly converts installed industrial sensors to wireless operation. This incredibly economical device periodically powers each sensor, makes the same set of overall measurements as Echo®, and transmits them wirelessly. The default transmission interval is 8-hours but is user programmable. Additionally, it operates as a standard junction box allowing full data collection with a portable data collector at the box. It can be powered using either standard 24 VDC or any battery between 6 and 13 VDC. The unit can be used by itself or in conjunction with an existing junction box by simply jumping wires between them.

Powerful Remote Monitoring,  Low-Power Transmissions

With ERRF Technology we can measure a millionth of a billionth of a milliwatt signal transmission!
