About the Pulsarguard 201x series
General Description
Pulsarguard 2010 (green) and 2011 (blue, hazardous area approved)
The 201x series sensor uses state of the art soundwave technology to detect
change in structure borne acoustic emissions from equipment and materials
in motion.
The sensor listens to the high frequency sound generated by impacts,
cavitation and friction within a system.
100 to 600kHz is the bandwidth of the sensor making it immune to audible
noise or vibration caused by plant machinery.
Instant reaction to process variation provides a change in output level to
alert the user that an abnormal or different condition has been detected.
