Impact transmitter predicts compressor
damage
Impact Transmitter monitors and protects reciprocating machinery by measuring mechanical looseness and engine detonation and alerting perators of an emerging problem.
The new AMOT IP1 Impact Transmitter monitors and protects reciprocating machinery by measuring mechanical looseness and engine detonation, alerting operators of an emerging problem at an early stage in its development and allowing appropriate action to limit the potential damage The 'revolutionary' compact product utilises a field-proven measurement technique developed especially for compressors and engines

Stand-alone electric PID valve controllers
Amot has introduced new stand-alone electric PID valve controllers in simple panel mounting or complete control panel formats designed for fully configurable high-performance operation.
Nuisance alarms are prevented by a special impact sensor and detection circuit, setting a threshold level and qualifying the impacting events through a counting routine.
By combining this measurement technique in a single sensor with the convenience of 4-20mA loop powered transmitter technology, this device reduces the cost of compressor and engine impact monitoring for a wide spectrum of users.
A patent is pending for the technique whereby the 4-20mA signal is proportional to what AMOT calls "impact severity".
It is recommended that one transmitter be placed on each compressor cylinder or each bank of engine cylinders. Request a free brochure from AMOT ...
