Description
VP Series 2000 sensors measures temperature, acceleration, and velocity. Ranger Pro sensors detect
acceleration using piezoelectric ceramic sensing elements in the sensor base. The sensors derive velocity
from the acceleration signal. The Ranger Pro sensors also measure surface contact temperature using a
sensor in the device base. The sensor reports a single temperature per device. You can choose what
units are used to measure the data.
A sensor embedded in the device base measures contact temperature.
Discrete, piezoelectric sensing elements measure acceleration in the Z-axis
for single axis VP Series 2000 wireless sensors and in the X, Y and Z
directions for tri-axial VP Series 2000 wireless sensors. Overall acceleration
is calculated over 2.5 seconds.
Calculated from the acceleration waveform and the overall value is
calculated over a 2.5 second duration.
There are various versions of the device:
Detects velocity and acceleration in three axes (X, Y, and Z) and measures
surface temperature.
WirelessHART
Detects velocity and acceleration in three axes (X, Y, and Z) and measures
surface temperature.
Detects velocity and acceleration in three axes (X, Y, and Z) and measures
surface temperature.
Detects velocity and acceleration in one axis (vertical, or Z) only and
measures surface temperature.
Enables you to extend the range between sensors and ISA100 backbone
routers.
For ISA100 networks, both the tri-axial and single axis sensors can also act as routers, although using the
router mode depletes the device battery more quickly.
If a VP Series 2000 ISA100 device cannot communicate with a backbone router, you can use the
VP Series 2000 ISA100 repeater (NR1210) or a VP Series 2000 ISA 100 device with routing enabled to
extend your ISA100 network. Although a VP Series 2000 ISA100 device can route up to 8 devices, we
recommend no more than three.
