The 4-20 mA output of the PC423 Series is proportional to vibration. An output of 4 mA indicates a level of 0 ips or no vibration present for velocity output models and 0 g for acceleration output models. A full-scale reading of 20 mA indicates that the maximum range (RMS, Equivalent Peak or True Peak) of the chosen unit, acceleration or velocity, is present.
The dynamic signal output is an optional addition. Any of the base sensor models can have dynamic signal output. Adding -DA to a model specifies a dynamic acceleration signal output (100 mV/g). Adding -DV to a model specifies a dynamic velocity signal output (100 mV/ips).
