200350-02-00-00 | Bently Nevada 100 mV/g Accelerometer IP68

Introduction to the Bently Nevada 200350-02-00-00

When machinery vibration threatens uptime, the 200350-02-00-00 provides reliable measurement. This accelerometer from Bently Nevada is part of the 200350 series, engineered for industrial condition monitoring. With a sensitivity of 100 mV/g ±20%, it captures vibration data across a frequency range of 30-600,000 cpm (0.5-10,000 Hz). The unit handles a measurement range of ±50 g, making it suitable for demanding rotating equipment.

Key Features and Technical Specifications of the 200350-02-00-00

• Sensitivity: 100 mV/g ±20% (10.2 mV/m/s² ±20%).
• Frequency Range: 30-600,000 cpm (±3 dB).
• Measurement Range: ±50 g.
• Output Bias Voltage: 8 to 12 VDC.
• Excitation Voltage: 18 to 28 VDC.
• Constant Current Excitation: 2 to 20 mA.
• Operating Temperature: -65°F to +250 ºF (-54°C to +121 ºC).
• Enclosure Rating: IP68.
• Housing Material: Stainless steel.
• Sealing: Welded hermetic.

One distinctive spec is the IP68 enclosure rating. This allows the accelerometer to operate in condensing humidity and even temporary submersion. The ceramic shear sensing element provides stable readings over time.

Applications and Use Cases for the 200350-02-00-00

In industrial environments, the 200350-02-00-00 excels at vibration monitoring on pumps, fans, compressors, and motors. Its wide frequency range captures both slow-speed and high-speed machinery faults. The stainless steel housing and welded hermetic seal make it ideal for harsh, wet, or corrosive settings. For example, in a chemical processing plant, the IP68 rating ensures reliable operation despite washdowns and high humidity.

Installation and Setup Guide

Mount the accelerometer using the ¼-28 female thread. Apply a mounting torque of 2 to 5 ft-lb (2.7 to 6.8 N-m). The top-mounted 2-pin Mil-C-5015 connector simplifies wiring. Ensure the excitation voltage stays between 18 and 28 VDC and constant current between 2 and 20 mA. The settling time is 2.0 seconds within 1% of bias voltage.

Maintenance and Reliability Tips

Regularly inspect the cable and connector for damage. Verify the output bias voltage remains within 8 to 12 VDC. The welded hermetic seal protects internal components from moisture. Because the unit is IP68 rated, it withstands condensing humidity and non-submerged immersion. Follow the manufacturer's manual for periodic calibration checks.
