Product Overview

The 200152-15-CN is an accelerometer interface standard cable from Bently Nevada. This cable has a connector on the accelerometer end only. Specifically, the 200152-15-CN measures 15 meters in total length. Furthermore, the coupling nut option is country specific (-CN). Consequently, this cable is designed for reliable sensor connectivity in industrial monitoring systems. In addition, the connectors provide an IP67 seal to transducers and mating hardware. Notably, all connectors are molded directly to the cable for maximum durability.

Environmental and Protection Features

First, the 200152-15-CN provides an IP67 seal to transducers and mating hardware. As a result, this protects against dust and temporary water immersion. Moreover, the addition of DC4 electrical insulating compound offers extra moisture protection. This is especially valuable during thermal shock events. Additionally, all connectors are molded to the cable for a permanent, reliable seal. Finally, the nickel-plated coupling nuts resist corrosion in harsh industrial environments.

Low Temperature Usage Guidelines

The 200152-15-CN may be used at lower temperatures than -20 °C. However, the installation must prevent the cable from flexing or bending. Specifically, flexing these cables at temperatures below -20 °C (-4 °F) may cause permanent damage. Therefore, plan your cable routing carefully for cold environment applications. For example, use cable trays or fixed conduits to eliminate movement.

Installation Guidelines

1. First, uncoil the 200152-15-CN carefully without exceeding the minimum bend radius.
2. Next, inspect the molded connector for any visible damage before installation.
3. Then, apply DC4 electrical insulating compound inside the connector if required.
4. After that, allow 24 hours cure time for the DC4 compound to set properly.
5. Subsequently, connect the accelerometer end only as this cable has a single connector.
6. Also, secure the cable with clamps every 0.5 to 1 meter.
7. Likewise, avoid sharp bends that exceed 73.7 mm radius.
8. However, do not flex the 200152-15-CN below -20 °C operating temperature.
9. Finally, verify the IP67 seal is intact after mating with the transducer.

Common FAQ

1. What does the -CN coupling nut option mean on 200152-15-CN?
The -CN suffix indicates a country specific coupling nut. Therefore, this ensures compatibility with regional threading standards for the 200152-15-CN cable.

2. Can I use the 200152-15-CN cable below -20 °C?
Yes, but only if the cable is not flexed or bent. Otherwise, the 200152-15-CN may be damaged if moved below this temperature.

3. Is the connector field-replaceable on this cable?
No, connectors are molded directly to the 200152-15-CN. As a result, the entire cable must be replaced if the connector fails.

4. What is the purpose of the DC4 compound?
DC4 compound provides extra moisture protection inside the connector. In particular, it is especially useful during thermal shock conditions for the 200152-15-CN.

5. What is the minimum bend radius for installation?
The minimum bend radius is 73.7 mm (2.9 inches) for the 200152-15-CN. Consequently, smaller bends may damage the internal conductors or shield.
