Key Features

• Extended Cable Reach: Features a 3-meter (10 ft) integrated cable, providing additional flexibility for routing through conduits and reaching junction boxes in large turbine or compressor decks.

• Superior Sensitivity: Delivers a robust 4.0 V/in/sec output, ensuring that the vibration signal remains strong and clear even over long cable runs to the monitoring rack.

• Ruggedized Enclosure: Built with an industrial-grade metal housing designed to withstand the high-temperature and chemically aggressive environments typical of petrochemical and power generation facilities.

• Optimized Frequency Response: The 10–1,000 Hz range is specifically calibrated to ignore high-frequency "noise" while capturing the critical 1X and 2X rotational frequencies that indicate machinery health.

• High Thermal Stability: Capable of operating continuously at temperatures up to +120°C, making it ideal for direct mounting on hot steam turbine or gas generator casings.

• Plug-and-Play Integration: Fully compatible with Bently Nevada 3500 Series monitors and other standard velocity interface modules.
