Vibration TransmittersMeasuring range / features
Triaxial vibration features and temperature; waveform / spectrum capture availability and sampling schedule reviewed separately.
VTX-WLS / NODE + GATEWAY
Wireless IoT vibration transmitters & gateways
Monitor remote assets without a signal cable.
Plan a wireless triaxial vibration and temperature sensor network for assets where a new cable route is difficult. Define the reporting duty cycle, radio protocol and gateway integration as one system.
BEFORE YOU SPECIFY VTX-WLS
Select the radio and reporting interval before estimating battery life. A trend packet and a waveform upload have very different energy and bandwidth demands.
Battery life, gateway capacity and coverage require a site-specific budget. Wireless monitoring is not a default protective trip channel. Hazardous-area use needs valid certificates for the exact node and battery.
SIGNAL ARCHITECTURE / VTX-WLS
From the measurement point to your control interface.
Plan the power and data path as one installation. The receiving input, cable or network and selected model determine the final connection.
Power & output
LoRaWAN or WirelessHART as distinct configurations. Gateway MQTT / Modbus TCP options require protocol and register mapping review.
Mounting & wiring
Threaded mounting pad on a rigid bearing housing; radio clearance, antenna orientation and battery access checked at the asset.
Machine / process fit
Outdoor pump groups, remote utility assets, high-access equipment and distributed plant monitoring.
Configuration targets for quotation. Final ratings, released drawings, available reports and delivery are confirmed for the selected model.
MODEL / DETECTOR / BAND / INTERFACE
Build a VTX-WLS request configuration.
Select a model request profile and the interfaces to review. The written quotation establishes the final ordering code and released ratings.
VTX-WLS
Wireless LoRaWAN kit [nodes + gateway]
Confirm radio region, duty cycle, battery, gateway and local data path.
Carry this configuration to RFQ →Request evaluation units →| Profile | Measurement | Band / timing | Interface | Confirm in quotation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VTX-WLS Wireless vibration + temperature node | Triaxial features + °C requested | Sampling and upload schedule to confirm | LoRaWAN or separate WirelessHART option | Confirm radio region, duty cycle, battery, gateway and local data path. |
| VTX-GW Local industrial gateway kit | Node aggregation / plant integration | Capacity and latency to confirm | MQTT / Modbus TCP, OPC UA by review | Specify protocol, local server, licensing, offline operation and support scope. |
Keep the gateway and its data path in the plant design.
Request an on-premises hardware and gateway quote with local data ownership. List any gateway licenses, broker/server requirements, remote support and optional cloud services separately so recurring costs are explicit.
Pilot kit
10 requested nodes, survey and gateway capacity review.
Include node mounts, gateway power/antenna, commissioning, sample/upload schedule and local integration scope in the BOM.
Request 10-node kit →Workshop kit
50 requested nodes, asset grouping and RF coverage plan.
Include node mounts, gateway power/antenna, commissioning, sample/upload schedule and local integration scope in the BOM.

| Battery | Temperature, duty-cycle estimate, replacement procedure and shipping configuration. |
| Local data | MQTT topics / Modbus TCP map, offline storage, broker location, authentication and licensing. OPC UA availability by configuration. |
HOUSING / CONNECTION / INSTALLATION
A wireless rollout needs matched nodes and a gateway.
Select LoRaWAN or WirelessHART as a complete architecture. Node format does not establish battery life, network capacity or hazardous-area approval.
Compact wireless node
Plan a rigid mounting point, radio clearance and service access. Confirm the node protocol and reporting schedule.
WirelessHART node format
Match the ordered node to the WirelessHART network and its required vibration and temperature features.
Gateway and plant integration
Review node compatibility, power, network access and the agreed local SCADA data interface.

RANGE / THREAD / CONNECTOR REVIEW
Metric or imperial.
Verify the complete interface.
| Interface | Metric request | Imperial request | Check before ordering |
|---|---|---|---|
| Velocity units | 0–10 / 20 / 25 / 25.4 / 50 mm/s RMS | 0–0.5 / 1.0 / 2.0 in/s = 12.7 / 25.4 / 50.8 mm/s | Confirm RMS, Peak or derived Peak and the original full scale |
| Mounting stud | M8 × 1.25 or M6 | 1/4–28 UNF | Pitch, thread depth, gender, seating face and torque |
| Connection | M12 4-pin | 2-pin MIL-C-5015 | Exact pinout and mating connector; not implied by connector shape |
| Other interfaces | Integral cable / protected cable | 1/2 NPT conduit entry where applicable | A conduit thread is not interchangeable with a mounting stud |
Wireless nodes use protocol-specific mounting and gateway interfaces; the analog connector examples do not describe every node.
INSTALLATION KIT / FEWER LOOSE ENDS
The mounting pad is
part of the signal chain.
A suitable pad, correctly wired cable and matched readout can simplify a plant rollout. Choose only the accessories your output needs in the form below.
Glue-on pads require a rigid, prepared mounting surface and qualified adhesive. Thin motor fins, fan guards and flexible covers are unsuitable default measurement points.
01 Prepared mounting pad & matched stud
02 PUR / armored cable or matched wireless gateway
03 Local display / relay monitor where applicable
04 Handheld meter for comparable spot-check readings
All kit options quoted separately. No preselected purchase obligation.What to send for a VTX-WLS review
Can you review an existing sensor?
Emerson AMS / CSI; Banner SureCross; SKF Enlight; Fluke 3563. These identify the original system to review, not an interoperability promise. These are identification references only. Send the full suffix, datasheet and wiring drawing; there is no automatic drop-in or authorization claim.
What about calibration, sealing and area certificates?
List the required calibration method and traceability, enclosure rating, local conditions and certification scope. Only configuration-specific documents establish suitability; a housing style or series name is not evidence.
How do I plan a 10, 50 or 200+ point rollout?
Share an asset list, measurement points per asset, control architecture, cable lengths and destination. Request a pilot configuration before a larger rollout. Pricing and lead time follow the reviewed bill of materials.
Quote the sensor and installation kit line by line.
| Request code | Item | Quantity basis | Fit and environment review |
|---|---|---|---|
| VTX-ACC-PAD | Prepared glue-on pad / fin-mount adapter review | per mounting point | Rigid load path, actual fin geometry, adhesive, cure, temperature and installed response. |
| VTX-ACC-CBL | 5 m PUR / armored cable request | per cable assembly | Length, sheath, connector coding, pinout, cable restraint and temperature. |
| VTX-DIN | Local display and relay monitor | per monitored channel | Loop powering, engineering units, relay ratings and reset. |
