Description

16710-40 is an interconnect cable designed for use in critical machinery monitoring systems, specifically facilitating signal transmission between 330400 or 330425 accelerometers and associated monitoring or interface equipment. This 16710-40 configuration provides a total cable length of 40 ft (12.2 m). This 3-conductor shielded cable is constructed to maintain signal integrity in industrial environments. It features a 3-socket plug at one end and terminal lugs at the other, providing a secure connection for vibration monitoring chains. When used with compatible Bently Nevada transducers, it supports proper grounding and shielding practices, ensuring reliable data acquisition for machinery vibration analysis.

Features

• Total Length: 40 ft (12.2 m)
• Cable Type: 3-conductor, shielded 22 AWG (0.5 mm2)
• Connector: 3-socket plug at the transducer end
• Termination: Terminal lugs at the monitoring system end
• Compatibility: Standard interconnect for Bently Nevada 330400 and 330425 series accelerometers
• Signal Integrity: Designed to minimize noise and signal degradation over long distances

Applications

• Critical machinery vibration monitoring
• Casing acceleration measurements for gear mesh monitoring
• Rotating machinery protection (e.g., pumps, compressors, turbines)
• Interconnection between remote sensor housings and terminal blocks or monitor inputs

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the mating connector is securely tightened to the sensor to maintain required ingress protection (IP54 or better).
• Route cables in protective conduit where possible to prevent mechanical damage.
• Avoid routing signal cables near high-voltage power lines to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• Use appropriate strain relief at the sensor junction to prevent tension on the connector pins.
• Verify terminal lug connections are secure at the monitoring interface board or terminal block.
