The Vibralert mechanical switch
offers vibration protection for low
to medium speed
machinery. The Metrix
5500 is said to meet
all requirements for
mechanical switches
in a single, affordable
weatherproof
package.

While the device is a
simple mechanical switch, it
can be supplied with local and
remote reset options with an
adjustable start-up delay to ensure
that there are no false alarms.

It has been tested successfully in
tough applications – fin fans, heat
exchanger and cooling tower
fans, reciprocating
compressors and
engines.

The 5550 is part of a
wide range of vibration
condition monitoring and
protection solutions offered by
Ixthus Instrumentation.
