Product Overview
Downtime in oil, gas, and industrial automation often traces back to a single failed measurement chain. The Vibro-Meter 111-402-000-013-A2-B1-C030-D000-E010-F0-G000-H10 is a proximity measuring system built to keep those chains running. As part of the vibro-meter product line, this transducer uses the eddy-current principle for non-contact shaft vibration and gap/position measurement. It carries an Ex i rating for hazardous areas and conforms to API 670 recommendations.
With a 30 mm body length, M10 x 1 thread, and 1.0 m integral cable, this unit fits standard machinery protection installations. The total system length reaches 10 m, and the assembly weighs just 0.22 kg.

Why This Configuration Works
The 30 mm body length with M10 x 1 thread suits tight mounting spaces on bearing housings and gearboxes. The 1.0 m integral cable connects to extension cables without adapters, reducing connection points. The transducer head is IP68-rated, so moisture and dust stay out. A temperature-compensated design keeps drift below 5% across -40 to +180 C. The frequency response reaches DC to 20 kHz, capturing both slow drift and high-frequency vibration events.
Applications in Oil, Gas, and Industrial Automation
Compressor and turbine monitoring: This transducer feeds shaft relative vibration data into VM600Mk2/VM600 and VibroSmart machinery monitoring systems. The Ex i rating allows installation in Zone 0, 1, or 2 hazardous areas.
Pump and motor condition monitoring: The 2 or 4 mm measurement range covers typical gap/position checks on rotating equipment. The stainless steel body (AISI 316L) resists corrosion in offshore and chemical plant environments.
API 670 compliance: For facilities following API 670 recommendations, this system provides the measurement chain needed for machinery protection.
Installation and Integration
The transducer requires a high-frequency power source from an IQS900 signal conditioner. The self-locking miniature coaxial connectors hand-tighten until locked, so no tools are needed. When wiring into fieldbus networks or control systems, an external gateway or connection module may be required. Confirm cables and gateways with your supplier before commissioning.
For Ex installations, follow the manufacturer’s safety manual and local hazardous area regulations. Do not substitute cables or connectors unless approved for the application.
Maintenance and Reliability
Inspect the transducer tip and cable periodically for mechanical damage. The FEP-covered coaxial cable resists chemicals and moisture. In high-vibration areas, check the connector tightness at scheduled intervals. The stainless steel body handles washdown and corrosive atmospheres. For Ex Zone installations, cable and connector temperature limits reach -40 to +200 C.
Selection Checklist
Before ordering, verify your measurement range (2 or 4 mm), cable length requirements, and hazardous area classification. Confirm compatibility with your existing signal conditioner and monitoring system. The 111-402-000-013-A2-B1-C030-D000-E010-F0-G000-H10 ships ready-to-use with no flexible hose or optional protection.
