One world. One KEMET
Overview
KEMET’s VS vibration sensors can detect vibrations in a
wide frequency range from 10 Hz up to 15 kHz, through
the effective conversion of vibrations to electrical signal
by utilizing proprietary optimized piezo ceramic material
and original vibration amplifying design. As no amplier is
required, it makes it very easy to embed.
Its ability to detect even the faintest levels of vibration
throughout a large sensing bandwidth makes it ideal for
predictive maintenance and process control operations
in industrial IoT, allowing for correction and data analysis
ow to PLC, micro-computer or analyzers.
Applications
Typical applications include abnormal vibration detection and
condition monitoring of production facilities of all industries,
motors, bearings, and pumps.

Handling Precautions
Vibration Sensor VS-JV10A
• To secure the sensor body with screws, use M4 screws with a standard mounting torque (1.5 Nm).
• Tighten the M8 connector with the torque specied for the cable to be used. The specied torque for the standard cable
is 0.4Nm.
• When connecting the connector, align the pins on the sensor and cable, and fully insert the cable before tightening
the screw.
Cable & Connector VSC-100PURS4-M8D-01
• Please tighten the M8 connector with the specied torque (0.4Nm) of a standard cable before use.
• When connecting the connector, align the pins on the sensor and cable, and fully insert the cable before tightening
the screw.
Magnet Base VM-03
• Use a tightening torque 1.5 Nm when screwing the vibration sensor onto the magnet base.
• Vibration measurements undertaken using the magnet base are affected by both the materials and surface conditions of
the attached surface, which changes the output characteristics of the sensor. Please test and conrm operation in the
specic target environment before use.
• Since strong magnets base are used, be careful not to allow your hand to become caught between several magnet bases
or between a magnet base and a metal object.
• Do not place the magnet base close to mobile phones, analog clocks, magnetic cards, magnetic tapes, etc.
This can result in the loss of stored information.
• Be aware that improperly stored magnet bases are dangerous, as they may strongly attract nearby magnets and
metal objects.
Mounting Stud VA-01
• Use a tightening torque 1.5 Nm when screwing the vibration sensor onto the mounting stud.
• Vibration measurements undertaken using the magnet base are affected by both the materials and surface conditions of
the attached surface, which changes the output characteristics of the sensor. Please test and conrm operation in the
specic target environment before use.

Handling Precautions cont.
Vibration Sensors in General
• For outdoor usage and usage in special environments that exceed the conditions given in this product specication,
please test and conrm operation in the specic target environment before use.
• Hold the connector body when attaching or detaching the connector.
• Do not touch the mating face with wet hands.
• Make sure to wipe off any moisture present on or near the connector before use.
• Do not pull on the connector or the cable. This can break the connector or disconnect the cable.
• This product detects vibration and may be affected by cable vibrations, depending on the installation conditions. It is
recommended that the cable be slightly slack and xed to a stationary surface or the same surface as the sensor.
• When using the sensor, connect a load resistance of 100kΩ or higher to the sensor output terminals.
• This sensor uses ceramic material and are breakable in case of strong shocks due to drop, etc.
• Do not touch the sensor body or cable during operation. This can cause malfunction.
• Avoid installations conditions where pressure is continuously applied to the sensor, e.g., installation where the sensor
body is sandwiched or exposed to an applied pressure. This can lead to distortion of the case, which will adversely affect
sensor performance, and may cause breakage.
• Any modications to the sensor after shipping will invalidate the warranty.
• In mission critical applications, we urge users to take appropriate measures, such as providing redundancy, to prevent a
large effect on operation of the customer’s products and systems in the event of sensor failures.
• Do not operate or store in dusty high temperature environment, near re, under strong light or sunshine, in the air
containing salt or oil.
• KEMET recommends that maximum storage temperature not exceed 85°C for VS-JV10A and 75°C for VS-BV203-B and
maximum storage humidity not exceed 90% relative humidity and atmospheres should be free of chlorine and sulfur
bearing compounds. Temperature uctuations should be minimized to avoid condensation on the parts.
• Handle products properly as industrial waste. When disposing, please contact your local waste disposal service and make
sure the disposal methods meet all legal requirements.
• Vibration sensors’ stock should be used promptly, preferably within 1 year of receipt.
