9200-01-05-10-00 Seismic Transmitter
Description:
The part number 9200-01-05-10-00 refers to a Seismic Vibration Transmitter from the Bently Nevada 9200 Series. This device is a robust, 4-20 mA output transmitter designed for continuous monitoring of casing or structural vibration (velocity) on rotating machinery.
It is an integrated device that combines a velocity sensor (seismometer) and a signal conditioner into a single, ruggedized package. The transmitter measures the absolute vibration velocity of the surface on which it is mounted and converts this mechanical motion into a standardized 4-20 mA analog electronic signal. This signal is directly proportional to the vibration level and can be easily sent to a PLC, DCS, or a basic indicator for machinery protection and monitoring.
Parameters & Specifications
The following table details the key parameters for this specific configuration based on the standard Bently Nevada 9200 part numbering scheme.
Important Note: The interpretations for the part number suffixes are based on common Bently Nevada 9200 series configurations. For absolute certainty regarding the frequency range, dynamic range, and mechanical details for this exact part number, consulting the official Baker Hughes Bently Nevada 9200 Series Datasheet is essential.
Application Scenarios
The 9200 Series Vibration Transmitter is designed for continuous, reliable monitoring of overall vibration on a wide range of industrial equipment. Its simple 4-20 mA output makes it ideal for integration into basic control and monitoring systems.
Casing Vibration Monitoring on Pumps, Fans, and Motors: The most common application. It provides a direct measurement of the machine's overall mechanical health, protecting against failures caused by:
Non-Critical Machine Protection: Used as a cost-effective protection solution for less critical assets where a full machinery monitoring system is not justified. The 4-20 mA signal can be wired directly to a PLC to trigger an alarm or shutdown if vibration levels become excessive.
Continuous Monitoring of Auxiliary Equipment: Ideal for motors, blowers, compressors, and other equipment that is important for the process but may not require the advanced diagnostics of a proximity probe system.
Plant-Wide Vibration Monitoring Programs: Its rugged design and simple installation make it suitable for deploying across a facility to monitor hundreds of assets, providing a basic level of protection and enabling condition-based maintenance.
API 670 Compliance Support: For machinery where the API 670 standard mandates casing vibration monitoring, these transmitters provide a compliant solution.
Typical Machinery:
Centrifugal & Axial Pumps
Induced Draft (ID) & Forced Draft (FD) Fans
Electric Motors (medium to large horsepower)
Blowers and Compressors (non-critical)
Gearboxes
Conveyors and other rotating equipment
