Using a Vibration Shaker Table to Demonstrate the IMI Smart Vibration Switch

As shown in the video, the IMI Smart Vibration Switch is unique because when connected with the supplied software, users can obtain baseline vibration data at the specific mounting location. This allows for precision programming of proper vibration alarm thresholds. No more guessing. No more trial and error with costly shutdowns in between. 

Of course, as with all electronic vibration switches, technicians have the option of programming a time delay. This eliminates false trips due to shock events, ensuring the switch must detect high vibration levels for a significant period of time before the relay triggers. 

Thanks to its flexible power requirements, the IMI Smart Vibration Switch installs in place of a mechanical switch into the same 2-wire circuit. One cautionary note, electricians that normally have over 500 mA of flowing through their mechanical switches will need an external relay to handle the current. 

The 686 also features:

• Remote Reset Anywhere™ capability
  
• Hazardous area approvals
  
• Ability to detect machine start-up and disable shutdown alarms during the process

Regardless of whether you turn to an electronic vibration switch, a 4-20 mA vibration transmitter, or even a wireless vibration monitoring solution it has never been easier and more cost effective to finally replace old mechanical vibration shock switches.
