Continuous machinery monitoring adds requirements beyond sensitivity. Set the bearing fault band, mounting thread, case isolation, ingress conditions and cable strain relief before comparing a rugged sensor with a lightweight laboratory accelerometer.

SPECIFY THE OPERATING WINDOW
Sensitivity, interface and environmental requirements
These values describe requested configurations. Each selected model needs its own approved specifications; the targets are not one universal performance envelope.
IEP-IND: parameters to confirm
Sensitivity requests
100 or 500 mV/g
Housing target
Sealed stainless steel; grade, shielding and sealing to confirm
Connector requests
2-pin MIL-C-5015 or M12; verify pin count and assignment
Requested measurement band
Define low-frequency corner and upper bearing/gear band
Installation
Mounting thread, isolated stud, cable support and oil exposure
Define the maintenance route before choosing a connector
For permanent installations, cable retention, replacement access and oil exposure can govern the assembly choice. A nominally compatible thread does not prove sealing or insulation after the connector is mated. Specify the connector standard, gender and strain-relief requirements.
Treat isolation and shielding as separate checks
Case isolation controls electrical connection to the mounting surface. Cable shield termination controls the return and noise path. Record both; a stainless housing or a shielded cable does not by itself prove the installed system avoids ground-loop interference.
EXACT IDENTIFIERS / ONE INQUIRY PER CONFIGURATION
Compare IEP-IND model requests
Select the identifier that describes your requirement, then specify accessories, documents and actual unit quantities. No identifier implies released stock or an approved cross-brand substitute.
Requested configurations · selected-model specifications and availability require confirmation
Choose a configuration, enter actual unit quantities and request the documents needed for release. Specifications, accessory fit, price and delivery are confirmed in the quotation.
Use the blank worksheet now. Request the selected configuration’s actual documents with the quote; no generic drawing or example certificate is presented as a released model record.
Wind turbines, pumps, compressors and gearboxes need repeatable mounting and a maintainable cable route. State whether measurements are temporary surveys or continuously connected channels.
Require the actual ingress test conditions, connector/pinout drawing, insulation measurement, frequency response and temperature derating for the selected model.
Specify diagnostic frequency rather than a generic wide band
Bearing and gear measurements may need high-frequency response while machine-speed trends need a stable low-frequency baseline. Include both ends of the useful band, peak level and the receiving input. Magnetic mounting can change the upper usable response.
Resolve the interfaces before final selection
Does the IEP identifier confirm an interchangeable product?
It identifies a configuration request. Exact sensitivity, frequency response, temperature, mounting, connector pin assignment, current, bias and TEDS support require selected-model confirmation. Original model names are comparison references, not approvals.
Which calibration and engineering files can I download?
The blank engineering worksheet is available without registration. Datasheet, STEP, pinout and calibration files need the actual model release. Use the document checklist in the RFQ to request availability and scope.
How do I specify the complete quantity?
Enter the number of sensors or instruments. Each accessory line has its own quantity. Triaxial sensors consume three acceleration inputs each; force and acoustic inputs are additional. Optional budget amounts are your allowances, not quoted seller prices.
