Product Overview

Bently Nevada 177230-02-02-05 is a loop-powered seismic transmitter that converts machine vibration velocity into a 4–20 mA output for PLC, DCS and SCADA systems. Full-scale range is 0–50.8 mm/s (0–2.0 in/s) with multiple agency approvals.

Key Specs

  • Type: Loop-powered seismic (velocity) transmitter
  • Full-scale range: 0–50.8 mm/s (0–2.0 in/s) ±10%
  • Output: 4–20 mA current loop
  • Frequency response: 3 Hz to 1 kHz class
  • Excitation: 12–30 V DC (current limited to 40 mA)
  • Case: 316L stainless steel, hermetically sealed
  • Mounting: 1/4-28 UNF (adapters available)
  • Agency: Multiple approvals (05)

Why Choose This

  • Simple 2-wire loop-powered installation
  • Higher velocity range for machines with larger vibration levels
  • Rugged 316L housing for industrial environments
  • Direct interface to PLC/DCS 4–20 mA inputs

Common Questions

  • Range? 0–50.8 mm/s full scale.
  • Output? 4–20 mA loop-powered.
  • Mounting? 1/4-28 UNF standard.

Mounting Steps

  1. Mount the transmitter on a clean, flat surface using the correct stud or adapter.
  2. Torque to the specified range (approx. 4–7 N·m).
  3. Wire the 3-pin MIL-C-5015 connector to the 4–20 mA loop (Pins A/B) and optional dynamic signal if used.
  4. Apply 12–30 V DC loop power and allow settling time.
  5. Verify 4–20 mA scaling and vibration readings in the control system.

Buying Advice

  • Select the 02 range when full-scale velocity up to 50.8 mm/s is required.
  • Confirm agency approvals and mounting thread for the installation site.
  • Useful spare for loop-powered seismic monitoring points.
