The IQS450 S3960 204-450-000-002-A1-B21-H5-I0 functions as the high-performance signal conditioner component calibrated for TQ402 and TQ412 proximity measurement systems.
Non-contact measurement system based on eddy-current principle
Ex certified versions for use in hazardous areas (potentially explosive atmospheres)
Voltage or current output with protection against short circuits
Together with a compatible probe, it forms a calibrated proximity measurement system in which each component is interchangeable. The system outputs a voltage or current proportional to the distance between the transducer tip and the target, such as a machine shaft. The target material must, in all cases, be metallic. The IQS450 signal conditioner contains a high-frequency modulator/demodulator that supplies a driving signal to the transducer. This generates the necessary electro-magnetic field used to measure the gap. The conditioner circuitry is made of high-quality components and is mounted in an aluminium extrusion.
This specific model incorporates the B21 linear calibration for standard proximity transducers and the H5 internal tuning circuitry, meaning it is impedance-matched exclusively for a 5-meter total system cable length (including both the probe integral cable and an EA402 extension cable). TQ4xx-based proximity measurement systems can be powered by associated machinery monitoring systems such as VM600Mk2/VM600 modules (cards), VibroSmart® modules, or by another compliant power supply.

Strictly maintain the cumulative length of the measurement chain (probe integral cable plus extension cable) at 5 meters, as any unauthorized cutting or lengthening will introduce severe measurement errors due to impedance mismatch. The coaxial connectors (self-locking miniature coaxial connectors) must be enclosed in insulating sleeves on site, never allow their metal shells to touch the machine casing or cable trays to prevent ground loop noise from disrupting the weak vibration signals.
The module requires a standard negative DC voltage (-24V DC) supply, so polarity must be double-checked during wiring. Additionally, ensure the aluminum enclosure is firmly grounded during field installation to maintain optimal electromagnetic shielding performance.
It converts raw high-frequency signals from TQ-series probes into linear voltage or current outputs for real-time shaft vibration and displacement monitoring. This specific model A1-B21-H5-I0 is calibrated for standard industrial environments and a 5-meter total cable length, featuring excellent EMI shielding.
