New Hansford Sensors New Intrinsically Safe 4-20mA Transmitter Series :- Hansford Sensors has introduced a new range of ATEX and IEC Ex certified intrinsically safe 4-20mA vibration transmitters, ideal for direct use with PLC, BMS or other 4-20mA input modules. The most recent addition is the HS-421I and HS-423I series of transmitters now giving AC & 4-20mA output in certified areas. Sealed to a minimum of IP65 and certified for use in Group II (Petrochemical) applications. This ensures the safe operation of electrical equipment in dangerous areas.

With their construction in stainless steel and the ability to withstand tough operating conditions, the transmitters offer reliability, optimum performance and long service in a range of hazardous environments. Available in a choice of either integral cable or connector, including tough braided cable, waterproof silicon cable, 3 Pin MS connector or M12 connector.

New Hansford Vibration Trip Display Unit  :- The new HS-517 series available for general industry and IS option for intrinsically safe, is designed for use with the Hansford HS-420I series with 4-20mA output, and also available for non intrinsically safe 4-20mA transmitters.

One of the key features is the display indicates measurement values with a integral LED display and optional relays.

Temporary or permanently installed using the sensor M12 connector option. The display is 330° rotatable and 300° connector to allow for easy viewing when the sensor is mounted in a difficult position. This device can be used in intrinsically safe areas with European approval, is sealed to IP65 and works with 4 Pin M12 connector. Check out the product page here.

New Hansford Sensors Connection Module :- A new addition to the Hansford product range is the HS-552 connection module which comes with easy connection input through AC accelerometer and AC output via BNC.

The HS-552 module uses DIN rail mounting, allowing ease of installation and the temperature ranges from 0 to 55°C. This module provides the engineer with a system offering full protection for valuable plant and machinery.

Installing Hansford Sensors Screened Cable  :- Hansford Sensors offers a range of cable assemblies for use with accelerometers to suit your application, these are available with a range of specifications. One of these options includes screened cable, which is often used for instrument cables to minimize the effect of radiated EMF emanating from external sources. To find out more information and understand how to install screened cable on an accelerometer system, view our useful application note here.

Intrinsically Safe Vibration Meter :- Wilcoxon has released the new MAC800-IS intrinsically safe handheld vibration meter which is certified by ATEX, IECEx and SGS for use in Class I Div 1/Zone 1 hazardous areas.

MAC800-IS.jpg

The MAC800-IS supplies all the functionality of Wilcoxon's MAC800 meter, with built-in filter bands and a display color-coded to ISO 10816-3 alarm levels, and offers the added benefit of hazardous area approvals.

New Velocity Sensor :- The new Wilcoxon 786V velocity transducer comes with a wide frequency response range (1-12,000 Hz at +/- 3dB), allowing users to capture signs of the most common developing faults - imbalance, misalignment, looseness - on rotating machines.

Key features information and benefits :-
  • Velocity vibration measurements can be easily compared against ISO standards
  • Ideal for monitoring common mid-frequency faults – imbalance, misalignment, looseness
  • Eliminates noise influences from external integrators
  • More compact size than legacy sensors
  • Lower cost without loss of reliability or performance

Floor / Structure Vibration Measurement :- we offer different measurement using different type of sensors to suit your budget. For customers who require accurate measurement of low frequencies vibration (for VC-Curves or other standards) we have sensors suitable for this task. Alternatively, if accuracy is not important but price is let us know and we can quote an affordable price using alternate sensors

SIL 2 & SIL 3 approval for Hansford Intrinsically Safe 4-20mA Transmitters :- Hansford 4-20 mA intrinsically-safe vibration transmitters (HS-420I and HS-422I) have received official Safety Integration Level (SIL) 2 and SIL 3  rating. This rating is a requirement of IEC 61508:2010. SIL certification ensures operator and machine safety in hazardous environments, allowing the 4-20mA transmitters meet the requirements of Systematic Capability, Hardware Safety Integrity and Random Safety Integrity.

This series is ideal for direct use with PLC systems and designed for use in online vibration monitoring applications, where the environment contains inflammable gases, fumes, chemicals etc., as found in many industries such as mining, gas and petrochemical. The 4-20mA transmitters allow maintenance engineers to monitor vibration levels of pumps, fans, compressors, motors, conveyors, drilling rigs and all types of rotating machinery, which are in potentially explosive working environments.

You can view the SIL certificate here. Also check out our range of HS-420I and HS-422I datasheets here.

Vibration Service :- we now offer vibration service using Wilcoxon very sensitive accelerometers. Please check with us if you require accurate measurement. 

Assemble yourself or use ready-made cable assemblies? :-This question always arises when the cable lengths cannot be estimated when preparing the offer and planning. But is self-assembly actually more economical in the end?

Read the latest Hansford white paper which explores the advantages and disadvantages of the use of
pre-assembled cables for most applications.

Self-Closing Switch Enclosure :- A new addition to the Hansford switch enclosure range is the HS-SE-SR-SC. One of the key features of this stainless steel switch enclosure is the self-closing hinges, ensuring the closing of the enclosure door even with the slightest push, without using any force. This reduces the level of wear and tear on the enclosure.

Enclosure HS-SE-SR-S.jpg

The protective sloping roof stops the dust and dirt settling, making it ideal for mining and paper industries. The switched output through a BNC and 2 pin connector allows for data collection from the accelerometer via a portable data collector. This provides complete protection in a wide range of demanding applications. Download the brochure here.

SIL certification for 4-20mA Transmitters :- The Hansford HS-420I and HS-422I Intrinsically-Safe Transmitter have received official Safety Integration Level (SIL) 2 and SIL 3 certified rating.

Assessed to the relevant requirements of IEC 61508:2010. SIL certification ensures operator and machine safety in hazardous environments, the 4-20mA transmitters meet the requirements of Systematic Capability, Hardware Safety Integrity and Random Safety Integrity.

This series is ideal for direct use with PLC systems and designed for use in online vibration monitoring applications, where the environment contains inflammable gases, fumes, chemicals etc., as found in many industries such as mining, gas and petrochemical. The 4-20mA transmitters allow maintenance engineers to monitor vibration levels of pumps, fans, compressors, motors, conveyors, drilling rigs and all types of rotating machinery, which are in potentially explosive working environments.
