The 990 vibration transmitter converts proximity probe displacement into a proportional 4–20 mA vibration signal for continuous monitoring of rotating machinery. It is designed for compact OEM installations where vibration indication is required for control logic rather than full diagnostic analysis.
This configuration (990-05-70-02-CN) uses a bulkhead-mounted housing and supports a 7.0 meter probe system length based on the 3300 NSv proximity probe platform. The measurement output represents peak-to-peak vibration amplitude under steady-state operating conditions.
The transmitter is typically installed close to machinery skid assemblies or panel structures where rigid mounting is preferred. Signal conditioning is fully integrated, eliminating the need for external Proximitor modules.

Installation Guidelines
The transmitter is intended for rigid mounting using bulkhead screw fixation. Installation should ensure stable mechanical coupling between enclosure and mounting surface to avoid resonance-induced signal variation.
Probe cable routing must avoid parallel alignment with high-power conductors to reduce EMI coupling. Shield termination should be implemented at a single grounding point.
During commissioning, verify probe gap alignment and confirm stable loop current under normal machine operating conditions before enabling alarm logic in the control system.
FAQ
What is the main function of this transmitter? It converts proximity probe vibration into a 4–20 mA signal for monitoring systems.
What probe system is required? It is designed for the Bently Nevada 3300 NSv probe system.
