Key Features of 200350-13-00-00

The Bently Nevada 200350-13-00-00 uses a ceramic shear mode sensing element. This design provides excellent high frequency response up to 10,000 Hz. Welded hermetic sealing protects internal components from moisture and contaminants. Consequently, the IP68 rating allows use in harsh industrial environments. The included magnetic base kit enables rapid installation and removal. As a result, this sensor is perfect for route-based vibration monitoring. No permanent mounting holes are required on your machinery. The magnetic base attaches securely to any flat ferrous surface. Stainless steel housing resists corrosion in chemical and offshore applications. With ±50g measurement range, this accelerometer captures high amplitude vibration events. Frequency response from 30 to 600,000 cpm covers most machinery fault frequencies.

Installation Guidelines for 200350-13-00-00

Before starting, clean the mounting surface thoroughly. Remove any rust, paint, or debris from the ferrous surface. Attach the magnetic base to the Bently Nevada 200350-13-00-00 using the 1/4-28 thread. Ensure the base is securely tightened to the sensor. Then, place the magnetic base onto the prepared machine surface. Activate the magnetic lock according to the base manufacturer's instructions. Verify the base is firmly attached and cannot slide. Next, connect the 2-pin Mil-C-5015 connector securely. Ensure the connector locks into place properly. Apply constant current excitation between 2 and 20 mA. Verify excitation voltage stays within 18 to 28 VDC. Allow 2.0 seconds for output bias to stabilize before taking measurements. Finally, confirm output bias voltage reads between 8 and 12 VDC. After completing measurements, deactivate the magnetic lock before removal.

Application Scenarios for 200350-13-00-00

The Bently Nevada 200350-13-00-00 excels in portable vibration monitoring programs. Route-based data collection teams use this sensor for periodic machine checks. Temporary measurements on gearboxes and bearings are quick and easy. For machines without permanent mounting pads, the magnetic base solves installation challenges. Field balancing procedures benefit from rapid sensor repositioning. Diagnostic troubleshooting on compressors and fans uses this portable configuration. Paper mills move this sensor between multiple measurement points daily. Consequently, capital costs are reduced because one sensor serves many machines. The 200350-13-00-00 also serves as a backup sensor when permanent installations fail.

Common FAQs about the Bently Nevada 200350-13-00-00

Q1: What is the sensitivity of the 200350-13-00-00?

The Bently Nevada 200350-13-00-00 has a sensitivity of 100 mV/g ±20%. This equals 10.2 mV/m/s² ±20%. Option code 00 specifies this tolerance range.

Q2: What mounting option is included with this model?

Option code 13 provides a magnetic base kit. This enables temporary attachment to ferrous machine surfaces. No permanent mounting holes are required. Consequently, the sensor is ideal for portable measurements.

Q3: What is the frequency range of this accelerometer?

Frequency response is 30 to 600,000 cpm (0.5 to 10,000 Hz) at ±3 dB. This wide range covers many machinery fault frequencies. As a result, bearing defects and gear mesh harmonics are detectable during portable surveys.

Q4: What is the IP rating of the 200350-13-00-00?

The enclosure rating is IP68. This means the sensor is fully dust-tight. It also withstands continuous immersion in water under specified conditions. Welded hermetic sealing provides this protection even when used portably.

Q5: Can the magnetic base be removed from the 200350-13-00-00?

Yes, the magnetic base attaches via the 1/4-28 female thread. You can remove it and install a permanent mounting stud if needed. However, the magnetic base kit is the primary feature of option 13. For permanent installations without a magnetic base, consider option 02 instead.
