RMS and peak acceleration loop powered sensors PC420A series Wilcoxons PC420A series sensors provide a 4-20 mA output proportional to vibration, allowing for continuous trending of overall machine vibration. This trend data alerts users to changing machine conditions and helps guide maintenance in prioritizing the need for service. The choice of RMS or peak output allows you to choose the sensor that best fits your requirements. Key features Table 1: PC420Ax-yy model selection guide True RMS or calculated peak output x (4-20 mA output type) yy (4-20 mA full scale) Easily integrated into 05 = 5 g R = RMS output, acceleration 10 = 10 g existing process control P = calculated peak output, acceleration 20 = 20 g systems 50 = 50 g Intrinsically safe certified Note: True peak output is available on PC420ATP series models. and explosion-proof models available True peak output available Manufactured in an approved ISO 9001 facility Certifications Note: Due to continuous process improvement, specifications are subject to change without notice.
