200151-20-03-00 | Bently Nevada 2.0m Armored Cable Accelerometer

Introduction to the 200151-20-03-00

When industrial machinery demands precise vibration monitoring, the 200151-20-03-00 from Bently Nevada provides a robust connection solution. This accelerometer standard cable is designed for harsh environments, featuring a 2.0-meter length with blue armor protection. Engineers rely on this cable to transmit accurate signals from transducers to monitoring systems, ensuring operational integrity.

Key Features and Technical Specifications

The 200151-20-03-00 is built with a 4-conductor, 22 AWG construction, including a braided shield and drain wire for 85% minimum coverage. Its PVC outer jacket and nickel-plated coupling nuts enhance durability. The cable offers a minimum bend radius of 63.5 mm (2.5 in) and operates within a temperature range of -20 ºC to +100 ºC (-4 ºF to +212 ºF). Connectors provide an IP67 seal to transducers and mating hardware, with molded construction for added moisture protection during thermal shock.

• Cable length: 2.0 meters
• Armor option: Blue cable with armor
• Coupling nut: Standard coupling nut
• Minimum bend radius: 63.5 mm (2.5 in)
• Operating temperature: -20 ºC to +100 ºC (-4 ºF to +212 ºF)
• Construction: 4-conductor, 22 AWG with braided shield and drain wire (85% coverage, minimum), PVC outer jacket, nickel-plated coupling nuts
• Seal: IP67 seal to transducers and mating hardware, molded connectors

One standout feature is the IP67 sealing, which protects against dust and water ingress. This is critical in wet or dusty industrial settings, reducing signal degradation and extending cable life.

Applications and Use Cases

Industries such as oil and gas, power generation, and manufacturing use the 200151-20-03-00 for turbine, pump, and compressor monitoring. Its armored design withstands mechanical stress in rotating machinery. For example, in a refinery, this cable connects accelerometers on critical pumps, enabling early detection of bearing faults. The IP67 seal ensures reliable operation even during washdown procedures.

Installation and Setup

Install the 200151-20-03-00 by routing the cable with a minimum bend radius of 63.5 mm to avoid damage. Secure the coupling nut to the transducer and mating hardware, ensuring a tight seal. For installations below -20 ºC (-4 ºF), avoid flexing the cable to prevent cracking. Use the provided drain wire for proper grounding.

Maintenance and Reliability

Regularly inspect the 200151-20-03-00 cable for cuts, abrasions, or loose connectors. The PVC jacket resists chemicals, but periodic checks in corrosive environments are recommended. The IP67 seal should be verified after any thermal shock event. Proper care extends cable life, reducing replacement costs and downtime.

Compatibility and Integration

The 200151-20-03-00 is designed for Bently Nevada accelerometers and compatible monitoring systems. Its standard coupling nut and 4-conductor wiring integrate seamlessly with existing vibration monitoring setups. For specific system compatibility, refer to the Bently Nevada documentation.
