Product Overview

The Bently Nevada 200152-15-00 is a standard accelerometer interface cable.
This model includes a connector on the accelerometer end only.
The cable length measures 15 meters for flexible installation distances.
It uses a standard coupling nut designated by the -00 suffix.
Construction features 4 conductors of 22 AWG with a braided shield.
The shield provides 85% coverage minimum with an integrated drain wire.
Nickel-plated coupling nuts ensure corrosion resistance in harsh environments.
Connectors are molded directly to the cable for superior strain relief.
Therefore, the 200152-15-00 suits permanent mounting in industrial machinery.

Technical Specifications

Cable Construction

The Bently Nevada 200152-15-00 uses 4-conductor 22 AWG wires.
A braided shield surrounds the conductors with 85% minimum coverage.
An integrated drain wire simplifies field grounding connections.
The outer jacket uses PVC material for flexibility and durability.
Nickel-plated coupling nuts provide excellent corrosion resistance.
Connectors are molded to the cable, eliminating loose parts.
Consequently, the 200152-15-00 offers reliable long-term performance.

Temperature Ratings

Operating temperature range spans -20°C to +100°C (-4°F to +212°F).
At lower temperatures, avoid flexing or bending the cable.
Flexing below -20°C may cause permanent damage to the insulation.
Connector temperature range extends from -55°C to +121°C (-67°F to +250°F).
This wider connector range accommodates extreme thermal conditions.
For moisture protection, DC4 electrical insulating compound is recommended.
Cure time for DC4 compound is 24 hours for full effectiveness.

Minimum Bend Radius

The minimum bend radius equals 73.7 mm (2.9 inches) for this cable.
Exceeding this radius may damage the internal conductors.
Plan cable routes carefully to avoid tight bends.
Use cable trays or conduits with adequate curvature.
Therefore, the 200152-15-00 maintains signal integrity over time.

Sealing and Protection

Connectors provide an IP67 seal to transducers and mating hardware.
This rating ensures complete dust ingress protection.
It also withstands temporary immersion in water.
The molded connector design eliminates moisture entry points.
Adding DC4 compound provides extra protection during thermal shock.
Consequently, the 200152-15-00 suits outdoor and washdown environments.

Compatibility Information

The Bently Nevada 200152-15-00 works with standard accelerometers.
It connects to the accelerometer end only, not to the monitor side.
For monitor connections, use compatible interface modules.
This cable replaces or extends existing Bently Nevada sensor wiring.
Always verify connector compatibility before installation.
Contact technical support for specific transducer matching.

Installation Guidelines

First, plan the cable route to avoid sharp bends and heat sources.
Ensure the minimum bend radius of 73.7 mm is respected throughout.
Secure the cable using plastic clamps every 300 to 500 mm.
Do not over-tighten clamps, as this may crush the cable.
Connect the accelerometer end first, tightening the coupling nut by hand.
For IP67 seal integrity, apply DC4 compound inside the connector.
Allow 24 hours cure time before exposing to moisture.
Route the cable away from high-voltage power lines.
Keep at least 150 mm separation from variable frequency drives.
Finally, secure the drain wire to ground at one end only.

DC4 Compound Application

DC4 electrical insulating compound adds moisture protection.
Apply it inside the connector before mating with the transducer.
The compound prevents moisture ingress during thermal cycling.
Cure time requires 24 hours at room temperature.
After curing, the 200152-15-00 achieves full IP67 protection.
Store DC4 compound in a cool, dry location when not in use.
Check the expiration date before application for best results.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Can I use the 200152-15-00 cable in continuous flexing applications?

No, the Bently Nevada 200152-15-00 is not rated for continuous flexing. Use it for stationary installations only.

2. What happens if I bend the cable below the minimum radius?

Bending below 73.7 mm may damage the braided shield. Signal noise and intermittent connections could occur on the 200152-15-00 .

3. Is the IP67 rating maintained without DC4 compound?

Partial protection exists, but full IP67 requires DC4 compound. For reliable moisture sealing, always apply compound to the 200152-15-00 connectors.

4. Can I cut and splice this cable to a different length?

Splicing voids the IP67 seal and may degrade signal quality. Order a custom length from Bently Nevada instead of modifying the 200152-15-00 .

5. What is the purpose of the drain wire on this cable?

The drain wire provides a low-impedance path to ground. It connects to the braided shield on the Bently Nevada 200152-15-00 for noise reduction.
