Overview

Bently Nevada 1800/20 (PN: 1800/20-12-90-02-00) is a loop-powered axial thrust position transmitter. It integrates a Proximitor sensor and signal conditioner into a single unit, providing a 4–20 mA output for PLC/DCS systems.

Designed for use with a 3300 XL 8mm proximity probe, it monitors axial shaft displacement to detect potential thrust bearing issues before catastrophic failure. A buffered raw signal output enables field diagnostics and probe gap verification during installation.


Technical Data

Feature Specification
Part Number 1800/20-12-90-02-00
Operating Temperature -40°C to +85°C

Key Features

  • Integrated Sensor Logic: All-in-one Proximitor and transmitter; reduces cabinet complexity.

  • Proactive Protection: Monitors axial shaft displacement for early detection of thrust bearing wear.

  • Simplified Diagnostics: Buffered output allows probe gap verification (-10 VDC) and raw signal analysis.

  • Enhanced Signal Integrity: “Not OK” circuitry detects probe faults; potted construction protects electronics in harsh environments.


Typical Applications

  • Centrifugal Compressors – monitor axial movement and clearances.

  • Boiler Feed Pumps – track thrust in multi-stage pumps.

  • Steam Turbines – protect auxiliary turbines without a 3500 rack.

  • Gearboxes – manage axial displacement in high-speed shafts.


FAQ

Q1: Can I use a 5-meter extension cable with this 1800/20-12-90 model?
A1: No. The transmitter is calibrated for 9.0 meters. Using 5 meters will give incorrect readings.

Q2: Does the 1800/20 require a separate power supply?
A2: No. It is loop-powered via the same two wires used for the 4–20 mA output.

Q3: What happens if the proximity probe fails or is disconnected?
A3: The “Not OK/Signal Defeat” circuit reduces output below 3.6 mA, triggering a fault alarm instead of a false reading.

Q4: Can I use a 5mm probe with this transmitter?
A4: No. It is optimized for the 3300 XL 8mm proximity probe; 5mm probes will cause incorrect measurement.
