• Shaft position and Keyphasor speed measurements

• Overspeed protection and radial/axial displacement detection

Advantages

• Fully compliant with API 670 standard

• Backward compatible and interchangeable

• Rugged construction with TipLoc and CableLoc enhancements

• Optional FluidLoc cable prevents oil leakage

• Excellent immunity to RFI/EMI for reliable operation

• Easy installation with ClickLoc connectors
