Prevent unscheduled downtime - extend cost-effective asset protection

Emerson Process Management’s CSI 9360 vibration/position transmitter offers basic protection to rotating machinery — compressor, pump, and fan assets. The transmitter detects emerging sleeve bearing issues and gives advanced warning to shut down assets before damage occurs or production is impacted.

Developed based on OEM-supplied specifications, the transmitter detects emerging sleeve bearing issues by capturing vibration or position data, translating the data into a 4-20mA signal for monitoring, then delivering real-time information about rotating equipment for operational decision-making.  

Versatility and cost effectiveness set the CSI 9360 apart from other transmitters. For example, customers save money because they do not need multiple transmitter types.

• The CSI 9360 can be field-configured for three radial vibration ranges.
• It offers an invertible position signal, selectable sensor loop response times, and optional sensor fault lock out times.
• While most transmitters standardize on 5mm sensors, the CSI 9360 supports multiple eddy current sensor sizes.

The CSI 9360 provides customers with precise, accurate information for critical operational decision-making. To verify radial vibration or axial thrust movement measurements, customers can use the CSI 9360 to perform 2oo3 sensor voting on high-speed shafts as small as 16 mm (5/8”) in diameter.

To simplify timely corrective action, customers can choose from flexible options to access data. For data collection and analysis, the buffered output can be accessed through a SMB connection by a portable analyser such as the CSI 2140. For detailed analysis or troubleshooting, the screw terminal buffered output connection can be directly wired to a monitoring system.

Installation is easy and quick. The CSI 9360 is loop powered with a standard DIN rail mounting clip or optional panel mount adaptor. The CSI 9360 has standard CSA and ATEX agency safety ratings.

The CSI 9360 makes field changes easy thanks to its low component exchange error. Customers can combine different sensors, extension cables, and transmitters in the field and still maintain tight measurement tolerances — typically under 4% — without recalibration.
