Our range of 4-20mA loop powered sensors provide an economical means, when connected to a monitoring system such as a plant PLC, DCS or SCADA system, to continuously monitor your pumps. Trending this vibration data over a period of time will give you an early indication of the pumps health which can then be investigated further.
