Overview
Features:
- IQS900 signal conditioner
- IQS900 proximity measurement system
- Very wide frequency range (DC to 20000 Hz), with configurable sensitivity and measurement range
The IQS900 signal conditioner is a versatile and configurable device that performs all required signal processing and generates the output signal (current or voltage) for input to a machinery monitoring system such as a VM600Mk2/VM600 or VibroSmart®. In addition, the IQS900 supports optional diagnostic circuitry (that is, built-in self-test (BIST)) that automatically detects and remotely indicates problems with a measurement chain.
The IQS900 signal conditioner contains a highfrequency modulator/demodulator that supplies a driving signal to a TQ9xx sensor. This generates an electromagnetic field in the tip of the sensor, which generates eddy-currents in the metallic target. When the target moves, the eddy-currents change, which causes a change in the electrical characteristics of the TQ9xx that the signal conditioner converts into a signal that is proportional to the distance to the target.
The IQS900 204-900-000-011 A1-B21-C1-H10-I0 VIBRO METER Proximity measurement system may still be available for purchase and support from Moore Automated Company beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
The IQS900 signal conditioner’s output is a dynamic signal suitable for spectral analysis. As such, the IQS900 is recommended for machinery protection and/or advanced condition monitoring applications. For more basic applications, a slowly-varying output signal such as that provided by the IQS910 signal conditioner could be more suitable. Refer to the IQS910 signal conditioner data sheet for more information.
