Accelerometer 4-20 mA Monitran MTN/2287
- Manufacturer: Monitran
- Category: Accelerometers and Vibration Sensors, Amplified, SENSORS
The Monitran MTN/2287 is a general-purpose accelerometer with a DC output proportional to acceleration: a standard industrial 4-20 mA two-wire output, proportional to the RMS acceleration (g rms) and the sensor range, which connects directly to PLCs, DCSs, and other industrial controllers. It is powered by 12-32 V DC, has a frequency response of 2 Hz to 1 kHz ±10%, a dynamic range of 50 g peak, and a transverse sensitivity of less than 5%. The internal electronics are housed in a Faraday cage and isolated from the body to minimize noise.
The series comprises six variants with stainless steel housings: MTN/2287-2P (2-pin MS connector), MTN/2287-4P (4-pin M12 connector), MTN/2287C (integrated ETFE cable with stainless steel overbraid), MTN/2287HC (integrated ETFE cable for high-temperature environments up to 120°C), MTN/2287T-4P (with 10 mV/°C temperature output and 4-pin M12 connector), and MTN/2287W (submersible, IP68, integral polyurethane cable). Guemisa is an official distributor of Monitran in Spain.

Technical Frequently Asked Questions
What output does the Monitran MTN/2287 have and what ranges does it support?
Two-wire 4-20 mA DC output proportional to the rms acceleration (g rms) and sensor range, with optional ranges of 0-1, 0-2, 0-5, 0-10 and 0-20 g rms, powered by 12-32 V DC.
Which variant of the MTN/2287 also measures temperature?
The MTN/2287T-4P: in addition to the 4-20 mA output proportional to the rms acceleration, it delivers a temperature output of 10 mV/°C (range 0-90 °C); it has a 4-pin M12 connector and its mating connector is the MTN/MH160.
Which variant can withstand higher temperatures and which one is submersible?
The MTN/2287HC, for high-temperature environments, operates from -25 to 120 °C (the others, from -25 to 90 °C). The MTN/2287W is the submersible model: IP68, integral polyurethane cable up to 100 m, immersion depth of 5 m max. (0.5 bar).
