ST5484E Seismic Velocity 4-20 mA Transmitter

Datasheet
OVERVIEW
The ST5484E is a self-contained seismic velocity transmitter that
incorporates a piezoelectric accelerometer, signal integrator, RMS
peak detector, and a 4-20 mA signal conditioner into a single
package. It can be mounted directly on a machine case or bearing
housing without intervening signal conditioning equipment. The
amplitude of the integrated acceleration (velocity) signal is con-
verted to a proportional 4-20 mA signal compatible with industrial
process control instrumentation such as PLCs, DCSs, and SCADA
systems that can provide trending and/or alarming capabilities for
a simplified vibration monitoring strategy. Flying Leads 2-Pin Terminal Block

chosen, the transmitter does not need a separate environmental
housing and can directly accept conduit. To reduce installed cost,
it can be used with barriers for intrinsically safe installations, or
wired directly to explosion-proof conduit fittings for explosion-
proof installations.

APPLICATIONS
A vibration transmitter may be appropriate in applications where velocity, and displacement measurements are inter-related math-
a stand-alone monitoring system may not be warranted. ematically, seismic velocity measurements tend to be more con-
sistent over a wide range of frequencies than either displacement
The ST5484E handles general-purpose vibration measurements or acceleration. Consequently, broadband (sometimes called

single twisted pair of 20 AWG conductors and shield. Gold plated contacts,
Stainless steel 316L Nut.

XXX.X = cable length in meters (example: 0050= 5.0 m)

NOTE: only 5m, 10m, and 20m lengths available at this time. 5m length stock std;
other length may incur longer lead times.
9334-111-XXXX-YYYY 2-pin MIL Splash-Proof (IP66) Cable Assembly With Armor
Used with 2-pin MIL-style connector. Connector is fully potted
and provided with integral molded boot to provide IP66 seal against moisture
ingression. 7.1mm (0.28”) diameter 304 stainless steel armor encapsulates a
single twisted pair of conductors and shield.

9334-211-XXXX-YYYY 2-pin MIL Armored Cable Assembly

Similar to 9334-111 but without splash-proof boot and without IP66 rating;
identical constraints on XXXX and YYYY ordering options.

NOTE: Dielectric grease XXX.X = armor length in meters (example: 0035= 3.5 m)
must be applied on the Min. armor length: 0.5m Max. armor length: 60m
rubber boot connector Must be ordered in 0.5m increments
to prevent moisture
ingression. YYY.Y = cable length in meters
Min. cable length: 1.0 Max: 999.5m Must be ordered in 0.5 m increments;
NOTE: cable length must exceed armor length by at least 0.5 m.
8169-75-002-XXX 2-wire Cable Assembly
Designed for installations where conduit will not be used to protect field wir-
ing. Fitting mates directly to all 8200 elbows with ¾” NPT reducers. Cable is
2-conductor (20 AWG) twisted, shielded pair in PVC jacket. Cable grip includ-
ed for strain relief.
Material: zinc-plated steel

XXX= length in feet (example: 010=10 feet)

Min. cable length: 1 foot (001) Max. cable length: 999 feet (999)
8201-001 Conduit Union
Fits between ST5484E and 8200 conduit elbow when there is not enough
room to rotate the elbow. Suitable for Class I, Div 1 (Grps A,B,C,D) and Class II,
Div 1 (Grps E,F,G) hazardous areas.
Material: zinc-plated steel

7084-001 Flange Mount Adapter
Adapts ½” NPT mounting stud on ST5484E to 3-hole flat-base pattern. Hole
pattern is three equally spaced 0.26” diameter holes on 1.5” diameter circle.
Adapter is 2” diameter x 0.75” thick. Material: 303 stainless steel
7084-002 Flange Mount Adapter
Same as 7084-001 except center hole adapts ¼” NPT stud on the 5484E.
7084-005 Flange Mount Adapter
Same as 7084-001 except center hole adapts ⅜ x 24 UNF stud on the 5484E.
8253-002 ½” NPT to ¼” NPT Reducer Bushing
Adapts ¼” NPT stud on ST5484E (B=0) to ½” NPT mounting hole.
Material: 303 stainless steel
93818-004 Cable Grip Strain Relief Fitting
Used primarily with 8978 cable assemblies where cable enters junction box.
¾” NPT male thread to cable grip. Fits cable diameters from 0.156” to 0.25”.
Complete with sealing ring and locknut. Hot dip / mechanically galvanized fin-
ish. Suitable for NEMA 4 junction boxes.
93818-018 Cable Grip Strain Relief Fitting
Similar to 93818-004, but fits larger cable diameters from 0.4”
to 0.5”, such as customer-supplied cables used with terminal block versions of
ST5484E (D = 2 or 3).

WIRING CONNECTIONS
Datasheet
Table 5 – Wiring Connection Legend
Connector Type Dynamic Signal Connections Power Connections
MIL-C-5015 Not Available 24 VDC power may be connected to all ST5484E models without regard
2-wire flying leads Not Available to polarity. Sensor uses IPT® independent polarity diode bridge circuit
that will always orient voltage correctly inside sensor, regardless of
2-wire terminal block Not Available polarity externally.
4-wire flying leads Red: Power +
Blue: Power -
White: Dynamic Signal - NOTE: Although the ST5484E allows polarity in either direction, installations
Black: Dynamic Signal + using I.S. barriers will need to observe correct polarity at the barrier input side.
However, the barrier output side (i.e., sensor connection) may be wired without
4-wire terminal block regard to polarity.
