Epro CON011/916-120 Eddy Current Signal Converter Module

Product Description

The CON011/916-120 from Emerson EPRO is a high-performance eddy current signal conditioning unit engineered for precise displacement and vibration measurement in demanding industrial environments. Designed to interface with non-contact proximity probes, it converts low-level sensor signals into stable analog outputs suitable for machinery protection systems and condition monitoring platforms.

This converter is optimized for integration with the PR642x sensor family and is widely deployed in rotating equipment applications where accuracy, speed, and environmental durability are critical.
