990 Thrust Transmitter

Description

The 990 Thrust Transmitter is intended primarily for the original equipmentmanufacturers (OEMs) 

of centrifugal air compressors or small pumps, motors, orfans who prefer to provide a simple 4 to 20 

mA proportional axial displacement(thrust) signal as the input to their machinery control system. The 

transmitter is a2-wire, loop-powered device that accepts input from our 3300 NSv* proximityprobe and 

its matching extension cable (available in 5 m and 7 m system lengthoptions). The transmitter conditions 

the signal into appropriate engineering unitsproportional to the shaft’s axial position1, and provides it 

as a 4 to 20 mAindustry-standard signal for input to the control system where machineryprotection alarming 

and logic occurs2.

The 990 transmitter provides the following notable features:

l Integrated Proximitor* Sensor requires no external unit

l Non-isolated “PROX OUT " and "COM" terminals plus a coaxial connectorprovide a dynamic 

vibration and gap voltage signal output for diagnostics3.

l Non-interacting zero and span potentiometers under the Transmitter labelsupports loop adjustment.

l Test Input pin allows quick verification of loop signal output, using a variableDC voltage source as 

the input.

l A Power-up Inhibit circuit eliminates signal errors due to line voltagetransients.

l A Not OK/Signal Defeat circuit prevents high outputs or false alarms due to afaulty proximity probe 

or loose connection.

l Choice of DIN-rail clips or bulkhead mounting screws as standard optionssimplifies mounting.

l Potted construction for high humidity (up to 100% condensing)environments.

l Compatibility with 3300 NSv proximity probe allows transducer installationin small areas with minimal 

clearance, typical of centrifugal air compressors.
