Introduction
The 170180-01-00 is a robust two-wire loop-powered 4-20 mA vibration transmitter. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with Bently Nevada's monitoring systems and standard plant Distributed Control Systems (DCS) or Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). This device converts the raw signal from a seismic velocity sensor (like the 330130 series) into a standardized 4-20 mA analog output, which is directly proportional to the overall vibration velocity (e.g., in mm/s or in/s). The "-01-00" suffix denotes specific configuration details, such as the measurement range and termination style. Its primary purpose is to provide a simple, reliable, and continuous analog representation of machine vibration for monitoring and basic alarm functions in control rooms.

Critical Note: *The "170180" series has various configurations. The suffix -01-00 is critical as it defines the exact measurement range, electrical connections, and certifications. Always refer to the official Bently Nevada/Baker Hughes data sheet for the 170180-01-00 to confirm its specific parameters before installation and configuration.*
Application Scenarios
This transmitter is used for continuous monitoring where a simple, cost-effective 4-20 mA vibration signal is required for a control system.
Non-Critical Machinery Monitoring:
Providing a continuous vibration signal to the plant's DCS or PLC for motors, pumps, fans, and compressors that do not require the full diagnostics of a dedicated monitoring system like the 3500.
System Integration:
Easily integrates the vibration signal from a Bently Nevada sensor into a third-party control or SCADA system that uses standard 4-20 mA analog inputs.
Basic Alarm Monitoring:
The 4-20 mA signal can be used to set simple "high" and "high-high" alarms directly within the DCS/PLC logic to alert operators of deteriorating machine condition.
Industrial Sectors:
Water & Wastewater: Monitoring pumps and blowers.
HVAC: Monitoring large fans and cooling tower motors.
General Manufacturing: Providing a vibration signal for various rotating assets on the factory floor.
