Product Precautions
The CE281 444-281-000-111 piezoelectric accelerometer from Meggitt’s vibro meter product line is a vibration sensor for the monitoring and protection of machinery in harsh industrial environments and/or hazardous areas.
- Long-distance signal transmission
- Integrally attached electronics
- Available in standard versions and Ex versions certified for use in potentially explosive atmospheres
The attached electronics also performs charge-to-current conversion in order to provide a current-modulated output signal that is suitable for transmission over long distances. The sensor head is connected to the attached electronics by an integral cable (low-noise, shielded) in a hermetically sealed link, protected by a flexible, leak-tight protection tube (stainless steel hose).
More specifically, the sensor head, protection tube and electronics housing are hermetically welded to one another, resulting in a system that is fully protected against cooling fluids, lubricants, water, steam and other potential contaminants. The CE281 sensor and electronics are insulated from their housings (integral case insulation) and have a sensitivity of 10 µA/g.

When using the vibro-meter CE281 444-281-000-111 piezoelectric accelerometer, the following three critical precautions must be strictly observed: Never breach the integral welding—the sensor head, protection tube, and electronics housing form a hermetically welded, inseparable system.
Never attempt to cut, splice, or disassemble any part on-site, as this will completely destroy its fluid-tight sealing and environmental protection. Mind the armored bend radius—when routing the stainless steel protection tube, maintain a dynamic bend radius of at least 50 mm (static at least 35 mm) to avoid kink damage to the internal low-noise shielded cable.
Ensure correct current receiver matching—since the sensor outputs a current-modulated signal of 10 µA/g, it must be routed to compatible field terminal boxes or monitoring modules with current-loop inputs (such as VM600 AMC cards), never plug it directly into standard voltage-type acquisition channels.

Technical notes
Vibro Meter CE281 444-281-000-111 is an intrinsically safe, high-temperature piezoelectric accelerometer for harsh industrial environments. Its unique split-welded structure allows the sensor head to withstand -55°C to +260°C, eliminating external amplifiers. Utilizing a 10 μA/g current-modulated output, it supports zero-attenuation transmission up to 1,000 meters. Featuring an Ex i bayonet connector, it is ideal for long-term rotating machinery monitoring in gas turbines, petrochemicals, and power generation.
FAQ View All FAQ
-
What is the CE281 444-281-000-111 device?It is an industrial-grade piezoelectric accelerometer.
-
How do you use products like the CE281 444-281-000-111?Thread it vertically and rigidly onto the machine's bearing housing surface, and connect it to a constant current source (IEPE power) or a condition monitoring system (such as VM600) via a dedicated low-noise cable to read voltage vibration signals.
-
In what harsh environments can the CE281 444-281-000-111 operate?Featuring a hermetically sealed stainless steel casing, this sensor can operate stably over long periods in environments with industrial oil mist, high humidity, chemical splashes, and hazardous areas with explosive gases.
-
What measurement principle does the CE281 444-281-000-111 rely on?It relies on the piezoelectric principle: an internal shear-mode piezoelectric crystal generates a minute charge under vibrational inertial force, which is immediately converted into a low-impedance voltage signal by internal electronics.
-
Which main industries select the CE281 444-281-000-111?It is widely used for asset monitoring in petrochemical refining, heavy power generation (gas turbines/fans), non-ferrous metallurgy, water utility pumping stations, and mining equipment.
