Eddy Current Sensor System EPRO CON021 + PR6424/010-110
Description
TheEPRO CON021is aprecision signal converterdeveloped byEmerson(formerlyEPRO) for use with thePR642x series non-contact eddy current sensors. It converts theraw analog signalsfrom the probes into standardized output signals (such as4-20 mAor0-10 V DC), allowing for seamless integration withcontrol systems,protection relays, andcondition monitoring platforms. This converter is deployed across various critical applications such assteamandgas turbines,hydroelectric generators, andindustrial compressors, where accurateshaft displacementandvibrationmeasurements are essential forpredictive maintenanceandmachine protection. Its high-frequency range and fast response time make it ideal fordynamic fault detectionandhigh-speed applications. TheCON021is built with arugged design,wide operating temperature range, and anIP65-rated enclosure, ensuring reliable performance inharsh industrial environments. Furthermore, it is compatible with a wide range of sensor models, includingPR6422,PR6423,PR6424,PR6425,PR6426, andPR6453, making it highly flexible and suitable for various asset types. TheEPRO PR6424/010-110is a high-precisioneddy current sensor systemdesigned for continuouscondition monitoringin demanding industrial applications. Paired with theCON021 signal converter, it provides accurate measurements ofshaft dynamics, includingradial displacement,eccentricity, andvibration amplitude, making it ideal for turbomachinery applications such assteam turbines,gas compressors, andhydroelectric generators. This system’snon-contact designreduces mechanical wear, improvinguptimeandreducing maintenance costs. Thestainless steel housingandIP68 protection ratingensure it can withstandhigh-temperature,high-vibration, and harsh environmental conditions. Part ofEmerson’s AMS suite, thePR6424/010-110reflects decades of reliability and engineering excellence, making it a trusted choice forpredictive maintenanceandmachinery protection. TheCON021converter supports afrequency rangeof0 to 20,000 Hzand offers a fastrise timeunder15 μs, ensuring high-precision data capture.
