200152-04-00 | Bently Nevada 4.0m Accelerometer Interface Cable

What Makes the 200152-04-00 Essential for Vibration Monitoring?

When harsh industrial environments demand reliable vibration data, the 200152-04-00 from Bently Nevada provides a robust connection between accelerometers and monitoring systems. This accelerometer interface standard cable, with a connector on the accelerometer end only, ensures accurate signal transmission in critical rotating machinery applications.

Key Features & Technical Specs of the 200152-04-00

• Cable length: 4.0 meters, providing flexibility for installation in tight spaces.
• Construction: 4-conductor, 22 AWG with braided shield and drain wire (85% coverage, minimum) and PVC outer jacket.
• Operating temperature range: -20 ºC to +100 ºC (-4 ºF to +212 ºF).
• Minimum bend radius: 73.7 mm (2.9 in), preventing damage during routing.
• Seal: Connectors provide an IP67 seal to transducers and mating hardware, with molded connectors and DC4 electrical insulating compound for moisture protection during thermal shock.
• Coupling nut: Standard nickel-plated coupling nut ensures secure attachment.

The IP67 seal stands out as a distinctive spec, protecting against dust and water ingress even during temperature swings—critical for outdoor or washdown environments.

Real-World Applications for the 200152-04-00

Industries such as oil and gas, power generation, and manufacturing rely on the 200152-04-00 for continuous vibration monitoring of pumps, compressors, turbines, and fans. Its robust construction withstands vibration and temperature extremes, reducing unplanned downtime. For example, in a petrochemical plant, this cable ensures reliable data from accelerometers on critical rotating assets, enabling predictive maintenance strategies.

Installation Guide for the 200152-04-00

Installation is straightforward: connect the accelerometer end using the standard coupling nut, ensuring a tight seal. Route the cable with a minimum bend radius of 73.7 mm to avoid internal damage. Avoid flexing the cable at temperatures below -20 ºC (-4 ºF) to prevent cracking. The IP67-rated connectors provide a weatherproof connection without additional sealing.

Maintenance & Reliability Tips

Regularly inspect the cable jacket for cuts or abrasions, especially near connection points. Verify the coupling nut remains tight to maintain the IP67 seal. The PVC outer jacket resists many industrial chemicals, but avoid prolonged exposure to solvents. Periodic inspection every six months helps ensure long service life.

Compatibility & Integration

The 200152-04-00 is designed for Bently Nevada accelerometers and compatible monitoring systems. It works with standard Bently Nevada hardware that accepts this cable type. For specific system compatibility, consult the official documentation or contact Petro Auto Tech.
