200150-15-05 | Bently Nevada 100 mV/g Accelerometer Trendmaster

Introduction to the 200150-15-05 Accelerometer

When machinery vibration threatens uptime, the 200150-15-05 from Bently Nevada provides precise measurement. This general purpose Trendmaster 2000 or Trendmaster Pro accelerometer is engineered for continuous condition monitoring. With a sensitivity of 10.2 mV/(m/s²) at 80 Hz, it captures vibration data accurately. The 200150-15-05 is built in the U.S.A. and carries multiple approvals including CSA, ATEX, and IECEx. Its robust design helps reduce unexpected downtime and maintenance costs.

Key Features and Technical Specifications

Every spec in the 200150-15-05 is chosen for reliable performance. Below are the core parameters from the datasheet.

• Sensitivity: 10.2 mV/(m/s²) (100 mV/g) at 80 Hz, ±12%.
• Measurement Range: ±245 m/s² (±25 g) for acceleration.
• Frequency Range: 10 to 1000 Hz (600 to 60,000 cpm), ±10% referenced to 80 Hz.
• Excitation Voltage: 4.7 to 5.5 Vdc.
• Quiescent Current: <800 µA.
• Output Bias Voltage: +2.5 ± 0.23 Vdc.
• Temperature Range: -40 ºC to +105 ºC (-40 ºF to +221 ºF).
• Weight: 58 g (2.0 oz), typical.
• Mounting Thread: 3/8-24 female.

The 100 mV/g sensitivity is a distinctive spec. It provides a strong signal for early fault detection. This helps avoid costly catastrophic failures and extends machine life.

Real-World Applications for the 200150-15-05

This accelerometer is ideal for general vibration monitoring on rotating equipment. In pumps, fans, and motors, the 200150-15-05 detects imbalance and misalignment. Its 100% relative humidity sealing makes it suitable for condensing environments. The multiple approvals (CSA, ATEX, IECEx) allow use in hazardous areas. By catching faults early, users reduce repair costs and production losses.

Installation and Setup Guidance

Mount the 200150-15-05 using the 3/8-24 female thread. Apply a mounting torque of 2.7 to 6.8 N•m (2 to 5 ft•lbf). The mounting stud option 15 uses a 3/8-24 to 3/8-16 UNC, 3/4 inch hex stud. Ensure the base is clean and flat for optimal coupling. After installation, allow 24 hours cure time for the hermetic seal. Proper mounting maximizes measurement accuracy and reduces signal noise.

Maintenance and Reliability for Cost Savings

The 200150-15-05 requires minimal maintenance. Its 316L stainless steel housing and hermetic sealing protect against moisture and corrosion. The ceramic shear sensing element ensures long-term stability. Regular inspection per the manufacturer's manual helps verify operation. Reliable performance reduces the need for replacements, lowering total cost of ownership.

Compatibility and Integration

The 200150-15-05 works with Bently Nevada ProTIM systems using the Standard Acceleration-to-Velocity channel type (-01). It integrates into Trendmaster 2000 and Trendmaster Pro networks. For detailed system compatibility, refer to official Bently Nevada documentation or contact Petro Auto Tech.
