Key Features and Technical Specifications

The 190501-10-00-02 is designed with a focus on accuracy and robustness. Below are the core specifications that define its capabilities:

• Sensitivity: 3.94 mV/mm/s (100 mV/in/s) ±5%
• Frequency Response: 3.0 Hz to 900 Hz (180 to 54,000 cpm) ±1.0 dB; 1.5 Hz to 1.0 kHz (90 to 60,000 cpm) ±3.0 dB
• Output Bias Voltage: 10.1 Vdc ± 1.0 Vdc, Pin A referenced to Pin B
• Dynamic Output Impedance: <400 Ω typical
• Broadband Noise: 0.229 mm/s (0.009 in/s) pk
• Operating Temperature: -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F)
• Shock Limit: 5000 g pk, maximum
• Humidity Limit: 100% condensing, non-submerged
• Case Material: 316L stainless steel
• Weight: <297 g (10.5 oz.) typical

One distinctive feature is the internal electronics isolated from the case, which reduces ground loop issues and improves signal integrity. This design choice enhances measurement accuracy in electrically noisy environments.

Applications and Use Cases

The 190501-10-00-02 is suitable for a wide range of vibration monitoring applications. In rotating machinery such as pumps, motors, and fans, it provides critical data for condition monitoring. Additionally, its rugged construction makes it ideal for harsh industrial settings, including those with high humidity or temperature extremes.

For example, in a chemical processing plant where equipment operates continuously, the transducer's reliable output helps detect early signs of bearing wear or imbalance. This enables maintenance teams to plan interventions proactively, reducing unplanned downtime. Furthermore, its compatibility with standard MIL-C-5015 connectors simplifies integration into existing monitoring systems.

Installation and Setup

Proper installation is essential to achieve accurate measurements. The 190501-10-00-02 features a plate stud mounting option (M6x1 to M6x1 with 3/8-24 adapter). When mounting, ensure the mounting surface is clean and flat to avoid introducing measurement errors.

Apply the recommended mounting torque of 4.5 N-m ± 0.6 N-m (40 in-lbf ± 5 in-lbf) to secure the transducer. The transducer can be mounted in any orientation, offering flexibility in tight spaces. The MIL-C-5015 connection interface provides a secure and reliable electrical connection.

For optimal performance, keep the cable length within the maximum specified limit of 305 meters (1,000 ft.) using the recommended cable part number 02173006. This ensures no signal degradation over long runs.

Maintenance and Reliability

Routine inspection of the transducer and its mounting is recommended to ensure long-term reliability. Check for any signs of physical damage or loose connections periodically. Since the case is made of 316L stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance, reducing maintenance needs.

The transducer's design minimizes the need for frequent recalibration. However, verifying the output bias voltage (10.1 Vdc ± 1.0 Vdc) during routine checks can help confirm proper operation. Following the manufacturer's guidelines for maintenance will extend the service life of the device.

Compatibility and Integration

The 190501-10-00-02 is designed to work seamlessly with Bently Nevada monitoring systems. Its standard MIL-C-5015 connector ensures compatibility with existing cabling and junction boxes. The transducer provides a velocity output that can be integrated into most vibration monitoring platforms.

For new installations, the included mounting hardware (plate stud M6x1 to M6x1 with 3/8-24 adapter) simplifies setup. The transducer's polarity is defined: Pin A goes positive with respect to Pin B when velocity is from base to top. This clarity aids in correct wiring and signal interpretation.
