Frequently Asked Questions

• What power supply do I need for the 2300/25?
  You need an external 24 Vdc power supply (18-36 Vdc range, 7.5 W max). The kit does not include it.
• What is a Velomitor sensor?
  A Velomitor is a piezoelectric velocity sensor that provides direct velocity output without integration, ideal for medium to high-speed machinery.
• How do I choose the right housing?
  Select 105M6193-01 fiberglass for non-hazardous areas. Choose 105M6193-03 stainless steel for hazardous environments.
• Can I monitor speed and velocity simultaneously with this kit?
  Yes, the 2300/25 processes speed inputs up to 20 kHz alongside both velocity channels with independent 24-bit ADCs.
• What is the maximum sensor cable length?
  The kit includes 17 ft (5.2 m) cables. For longer runs, consult the 2300/25 manual for signal integrity guidelines.
