MTN/415
Indicating Vibration Sensor
The Monitran MTN/415 accelerometer has been developed for use in a wide range of
applications including the monitoring of pumps, fans, motors and turbines. The MTN/415
is a fully self-contained, battery-powered unit, with unique features designed for ease of
use.
The MTN/415 requires no external power source or wiring, making it ideal for condition
monitoring, predictive maintenance, short-term maintenance and trouble shooting in the
remotest of locations. A sharp tap is all that is needed to turn the unit on, with the
indicator reverting to “sleep” automatically after one minute. A lithium manganese battery
gives a typical operating life of five years (depending on usage). Another important
feature of the MTN/415 is the integral display, allowing on-site maintenance or machine
operators to assess the status of the equipment being monitored without the need for
additional instruments.
The unit is based on proven accelerometer technology, and uses a micro-controller to
process and display signals. The micro-controller computes true RMS g as required by
the machine vibration standard ISO 10816-1. The MTN/415 has a robust stainless steel
construction, and a specially designed variable position mounting enables the sensor to
be installed in any plane. This makes it quick and simple to attach the sensor to the
equipment being monitored and provides a clear view of the 2 digit LCD display.
