GKP3 Low Frequency Vibration Sensor RS232 / TTL / S485 Output Interface

The GKP3 is a triaxial vibration sensor independently developed for low-frequency vibration monitoring, featuring high precision and low noise. Each product undergoes calibration and compensation across the entire temperature range and approximately 336 hours of long-term stability testing before leaving the factory, ensuring stable performance under diverse operating conditions and continuous testing cycles. The sensor supports static vibration measurement in the 0 Hz or 0.1–100 Hz frequency bands and integrates two output protocols, including the industry-standard MODBUS protocol. The accompanying computer analysis software enables real-time display, recording, and subsequent processing of measurement data. Output interfaces include RS485, RS232, and TTL options. The sensor employs a non-contact installation design, facilitating system integration. Users simply need to fix it to the surface of the object being measured with screws to automatically obtain the object's horizontal angle, making operation simple. The product possesses excellent resistance to external electromagnetic interference and shock vibration, making it suitable for applications such as satellite communication systems, vehicle handling platforms, special command vehicles, and radar antenna vehicles.

Interface Connection Instructions

1. Select cables that conform to RS-485/RS-232 standards, ensuring the cable quality and performance meet the requirements. Twisted-pair cable is recommended due to its better anti-interference capability.

2. At both terminal devices in the RS-485/RS-232 communication network, terminating resistors (typically 120 ohms) need to be connected to eliminate signal reflections. Avoid connecting terminating resistors on intermediate devices to prevent signal interference.

3. To ensure system stability and security, the RS-485/RS-232 communication network needs to be grounded. The signal ground wire should be connected to the grounding terminal of each device.

Installation Orientation

During installation, the sensor mounting surface should be kept parallel to the surface of the target object to minimize the impact of dynamics and acceleration on the sensor. This product can be installed horizontally or vertically; please refer to the diagram below for installation instructions:
