Bently Nevada 177230-02 Seismic Transmitter

Description

Designed for continuous machinery vibration monitoring, the Bently Nevada 177230-02 seismic transmitter provides a reliable 4 to 20 mA loop-powered output proportional to overall vibration velocity. This solid-state sensor is engineered to integrate directly with PLC, DCS, and SCADA control systems without requiring an external interface module. Operating by measuring case vibration, it provides an efficient and cost-effective method for tracking the health of balance-of-plant mechanical assets.

The hermetically sealed 316L stainless steel housing guarantees robust performance in demanding industrial settings. Please note that the manufacturer has designated the 177230-01-01-CN seismic transmitter as a replacement model for legacy 177230-02 configurations.

Features

• Provides a direct 4 to 20 mA DC velocity output for direct PLC and DCS interface.
• Constructed with a rugged, corrosion-resistant 316L stainless steel housing.
• Integral 3-pin MIL-C-5015 electrical connector for secure, industrial-grade wiring.
• Simple loop-powered installation eliminates the need for dedicated transmitter monitors.
• Hermetically sealed design for maximum reliability in wet, dusty, or corrosive atmospheres.

Applications

• Cooling tower fan monitoring
• Centrifugal pumps and industrial compressors
• Electric motors and gearboxes
• Balance of Plant (BOP) machinery

Installation Guidelines

To ensure accurate vibration measurements, mount the transmitter on a clean, flat surface that has been machined to a high finish. Utilize the specified mounting stud and apply the recommended torque to ensure rigid physical coupling with the machinery casing. Route the cabling away from high-voltage motor supply lines to minimize electromagnetic interference, and utilize appropriate shielding techniques with the 3-pin MIL-C-5015 connector.
