Electronic Vibration Switch (EVS)
Also available, optional internal battery powered
EVS switch model, designed for use on
ignition powered systems.
Features
• Piezoelectric-crystal internal sensor with
built-in microelectronics for reduced noise
sensitivity
• Electronically integrated output signal that
measures and trips on velocity
• Adjustable calibrated set-point controls
• Shutdown set-point measured in velocity
• Optional 4-20 mA output for continuous
monitoring capability
• Solid-state outputs for setpoint trip
• Adjustable time delay to prevent false
tripping on high-vibration start-ups or non-
repetitive transient events
• Self-test and calibration
The Electronic Vibration Switch (EVS) protects against equipment failure by monitoring velocity-based vibration
levels and providing an early warning or shutdown when abnormal vibration is detected.
The EVS product can be connected to Murphy’s TTD
™ annunciator, Centurion™ or Millennium™ controllers for
increased functionality. It also complements Murphy’s VS2
™ shock and excessive vibration/pulsation switch, which
is designed to detect an abnormal shock or pulsation due to equipment failure and to shutdown other equipment in
a system to prevent further damage.
The EVS product can be used on any equipment
where abnormal vibration could lead to equipment
damage, including:
• Cooling
fans
• Engines
• Pumps
• Compressors
• Gear
boxes
• Motors
• Generator
sets
The EVS product can monitor and alert the
operator of abnormal vibration caused by a
variety of possible factors, including:
• Imbalance and misalignments
• Defective sleeve bearings
• Broken tie down bolts
• Defective ball or roller bearings
• Gear
mesh
• Blade pass frequencies
• Detonation
• Broken
parts
