Product Overview
When reliable vibration data is critical for rotating machinery protection, the Bently Nevada 200152-04-CN Accelerometer Interface Standard Cable delivers a secure, high-integrity connection. This 4.0-meter cable is part of the 200151 series, designed specifically for accelerometer interfaces with a connector on the accelerometer end only. Its rugged construction and environmental sealing make it a trusted choice for demanding industrial environments.
Technical Specifications
The 200152-04-CN is built with a 4-conductor, 22 AWG configuration featuring a braided shield and drain wire (85% coverage, minimum) and a PVC outer jacket. Nickel-plated coupling nuts provide corrosion resistance and secure mating. The cable offers an operating temperature range of -20 ºC to +100 ºC (-4 ºF to +212 ºF), though it may be used at lower temperatures if the installation prevents flexing or bending—flexing below –20 ºC may damage the cable. The minimum bend radius is 73.7 mm (2.9 in), ensuring flexibility without compromising signal integrity.
Industry Applications
In predictive maintenance programs for compressors, turbines, and pumps, the 200152-04-CN connects accelerometers to monitoring systems, transmitting accurate vibration signals for early fault detection. Its IP67 seal to transducers and mating hardware protects against moisture and dust ingress, making it suitable for outdoor or washdown areas. The molded connectors and DC4 electrical insulating compound provide additional protection during thermal shock events, reducing false alarms and downtime.
Installation & Setup Guidance
When installing the 200152-04-CN, ensure the cable is routed without sharp bends exceeding the 73.7 mm radius. Secure the cable to avoid movement that could stress the connector. The nickel-plated coupling nuts should be hand-tightened to achieve the IP67 seal; do not use tools that could overtighten. For installations below -20 ºC, avoid flexing the cable until it warms to within the rated range.
Maintenance & Reliability
Periodically inspect the cable jacket and connectors for cuts, abrasion, or corrosion. The molded connector design minimizes failure points, but environmental exposure can degrade the PVC jacket over time. Replacing the cable at the first sign of wear prevents intermittent signal loss. The 85% braided shield coverage ensures excellent noise rejection, maintaining data integrity in electrically noisy environments.
Compatibility & Integration
The 200152-04-CN is designed for Bently Nevada accelerometers with compatible connectors. It integrates seamlessly with Bently Nevada monitoring systems and data acquisition modules. Verify connector compatibility with your specific accelerometer model before ordering. The country-specific coupling nut (-CN) ensures compliance with local standards.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
Before purchasing the 200152-04-CN, confirm your accelerometer requires a connector on the accelerometer end only and that the 4.0-meter length suits your installation.
