991-06-70-02-00 | Bently Nevada 991 Thrust Transmitter

Bently Nevada 991-06-70-02-00 Thrust Transmitter

Product Introduction

The Bently Nevada 991-06-70-02-00 is a specialized 2-wire thrust transmitter. It continuously monitors the axial position of rotating machinery shafts. This model accepts input from a single 3300 NSv proximity probe. It translates shaft thrust movement into a proportional 4-20 mA signal. Its compact design and robust construction suit various industrial applications. Specifically, this version offers a 0.6-0-0.6 mm range and a 7.0-meter cable length.

Key Technical Specifications

This section outlines the essential parameters of the Bently Nevada 991 transmitter. These specifications guide proper application and ensure reliable operation.

• Input: The unit accepts one non-contacting 3300 NSv Proximity Probe along with its matching extension cable.

• Power Supply: It requires a DC input voltage between +12 and +35 Vdc applied at the transmitter terminal.

• Signal Output: It delivers a standard 4 to 20 mAdc signal across its specified full-scale range. This uses a 2-wire configuration for simplicity.

• Loop Accuracy: The 991-06-70-02-00 maintains loop accuracy within ±1.5% typical. Bently Nevada rates this from the TEST signal input across a 250 Ω load.

• Linear Range: The linear range spans 0.25 to 1.65 mm for Prox Out. This suits the 0.6-0-0.6 mm current loop linear range.

• Current Limiting: The typical current limiting is set at 23 mA. This protects the loop wiring and connected instruments from overcurrent faults.

• NOT OK/Signal Defeat: The output drops below 3.6 mA within 100 µs of a Not OK condition. It automatically restores within 0.1 seconds after the fault clears.

Mechanical and Environmental Specifications

The physical attributes and environmental limits are crucial for installation. The 991 Thrust Transmitter is built for longevity in harsh settings.

• Transmitter Weight: It weighs only 0.43 kg (0.9 lbm). This lightweight design simplifies mounting and reduces stress on the mounting hardware.

• Mounting: The unit mounts on a standard DIN rail for secure installation.

• Mounting Option: The specific 02 option includes bulkhead screws for robust panel mounting.

• Operating Temperature: The transmitter operates reliably from -35°C to +85°C (-31°F to +185°F).

• Storage Temperature: It can be stored from -51°C to +100°C (-60°F to +212°F) without damage.

• Agency Approval: The 00 option indicates no specific agency approvals are required for this model.

Installation and Connection Guide

Proper installation is key for the Bently Nevada 991-06-70-02-00 to function correctly. Follow these guidelines for a successful setup.

First, securely mount the transmitter on a DIN rail using the bulkhead screws. Ensure the mounting surface is stable and free from excessive vibration. Next, connect the 3300 NSv proximity probe and its extension cable to the input. Subsequently, wire the power supply to the transmitter terminals. A +12 to +35 Vdc source is mandatory.

After that, wire the 4-20 mA loop. The maximum loop resistance must not exceed 1,000 Ω at 35 Vdc. This includes all cable resistance. Finally, set the probe gap within the linear range of 0.25 to 1.65 mm. Use the non-interacting external adjustments for zero and span. This will ensure accurate measurement across the specified 0.6-0-0.6 mm range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the primary application for the 991-06-70-02-00?
The 991-06-70-02-00 is specifically designed for axial thrust monitoring. It measures the axial position of rotating shafts in turbines, compressors, and pumps.

2. How does the 991 differ from the 990 series?
The 990 series is for radial vibration monitoring. The 991 series is specifically for axial thrust monitoring. Each uses the same 3300 NSv probe but has different calibration and linear ranges.

3. What does the 'System Length' option '70' mean?
The '70' in the model number 991-06-70-02-00 specifies a system length of 7.0 meters (23.0 feet). This refers to the total length of the probe and extension cable system.

4. What is the linear range for this thrust transmitter?
The 991-06-70-02-00 has a linear range of 0.25 to 1.65 mm for Prox Out. This supports the 0.6-0-0.6 mm current loop linear ranges for accurate thrust measurement.

5. How quickly does the transmitter respond to a Not OK condition?
The output drops below 3.6 mA within 100 µs of a Not OK condition. It automatically restores within 0.1 seconds after the fault clears, ensuring rapid fault detection.
