PT500 Electro-Mechanical Vibration Switch Introduction

The PT500 is an economical solution to provide basic

vibration protection for your rotating or reciprocating
machines. The PT500 uses an inertia sensitive
mechanism which actuates internal micro-switch contacts
when the vibration level exceeds the adjustable set point.
The PT 500 start-up delay feature prevents the switch from
activating during the higher vibration levels present during
the start-up of the machine so that the set point may be
adjusted closer to the vibration levels present during
normal operation or running speed of the machine.

The PT500 is your “one stop shopping” for all

electro-mechanical vibration switch applications. The  Universal mounting
unique design has all industry required environmental and  Local and remote reset
hazardous area approvals. The E-coat option is suitable  Start up delay
for offshore and very corrosive environmental applications.  SPDT, (2) SPDT and gold plated contact options
Universal mounting plate will mount in existing mounting
holes when replacing older mechanical vibration switches. Specification

Applications include:
Function: Armature mechanism trips on
high vibration and operates snap action switch.
 Fans
Vibration Range: See How to Select “C”
 Cooling Motor/Fans
Frequency Range: 0 to 3600 rpm
 Fin Fans
Set Point Adjust: 0 to 100% of range. Internal set point
 Heat Exchangers
adjustment.
 Engines
Local Reset: For field local reset of the switch
 Reciprocating Compressors
Remote reset with Start-up Delay: Applying reset coil
 Centrifuges
voltage at start up holds mechanism from tripping delay
 Rock or Coal Crushers
about 3 seconds, after which the switch is automatically
activated.
PT500 Features Reset Coil Power Supply:
95 - 250VAC@100mA, 50 - 60Hz or
20 - 30VDC @ 200mA
