Product Overview

The 83387-096 belongs to the 3300 Series. Its product type is a Hardline Cable. The product classification is Cables & Accessories. The current price for this item is ¥2,850 RMB, and the product gross weight is 0.65 kg.

Bently Nevada designed this hardline cable specifically for accelerometer interface modules. The 83387-096 measures 96 inches in length. This cable uses twisted shielded pair construction with mineral insulation. A stainless steel overbraid protects the entire cable assembly. Additionally, the connector rear sections feature potting for enhanced durability. Therefore, this hardline cable suits extreme high-temperature applications where standard cables would fail.

Technical Specifications

Cable Length

The cable length option 096 indicates 96 inches (8 feet or 2.44 meters). This length provides sufficient reach for connecting accelerometers to interface modules in typical machinery monitoring installations. For longer runs, consider alternative cable configurations.

Hardline Cable Construction

The hardline cable features twisted shielded pair conductors with mineral insulation . This insulation type provides excellent performance at extreme temperatures. A stainless steel overbraid protects the cable from mechanical damage and abrasion. The rear portions of both connectors are potted to prevent moisture ingress and protect internal connections. Consequently, this 83387-096 cable withstands harsh industrial environments.

Accelerometer Mating Connector

The accelerometer mating connector mates to an MS 3100R-10SL-4P receptacle . This connector includes a Viton insert for superior chemical resistance and high-temperature performance. The connector also features potting at the rear for environmental sealing. Therefore, this end attaches securely to Bently Nevada accelerometers.

Disconnect Interface Mating Connector

The disconnect interface mating connector mates to an MS 3106-10SL-4S connector. This design allows easy disconnection between the cable and the interface module. The connector facilitates quick sensor replacement without rewiring the entire cable run.

Hardline Cable Temperature Ratings

The cable itself operates from -65°F to +1200°F (-54°C to +649°C) . The accelerometer mating connector withstands -65°F to +800°F (-54°C to +427°C) . Similarly, the disconnect interface mating connector also handles -65°F to +800°F (-54°C to +427°C) . Thus, the 83387-096 performs reliably in extremely hot environments such as turbine and engine monitoring applications.

Comparison with Softline Cable

For reference, Bently Nevada also offers softline cable for less demanding applications. Softline cable uses convoluted Teflon tubing for protection instead of stainless steel overbraid. Its temperature range reaches only -65°F to +400°F . The interface module mating connector for softline cable is MS 3112-8-3P . Therefore, hardline cable provides superior high-temperature capability.

Installation Guide

Follow these steps to install your 83387-096 correctly.

1. Power Down Equipment: Disconnect power from the monitoring system. This prevents electrical damage during installation.

2. Connect to Accelerometer: Align the cable connector with the accelerometer's MS 3100R-10SL-4P receptacle . Push firmly until the connection seats completely.

3. Secure the Connection: Tighten the coupling nut by hand. Do not overtighten or use tools on this connection.

4. Connect to Interface Module: Attach the other end of the 83387-096 to the disconnect interface's MS 3106-10SL-4S connector. Push and twist until locked.

5. Route the Cable: Secure the stainless steel overbraided cable along a protected path. Avoid sharp bends that could damage the internal conductors.

6. Verify Temperature Limits: Ensure the entire cable path stays within -65°F to +1200°F . Pay special attention to connector temperatures, which have lower maximum ratings.

7. Test Continuity: Perform a continuity check on the twisted shielded pair. Verify proper connection between accelerometer and interface module.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the difference between hardline and softline cables?
Hardline cable uses mineral insulation and stainless steel overbraid , surviving up to +1200°F . Softline cable uses Teflon tubing and survives only to +400°F . Therefore, the 83387-096 suits extreme high-temperature applications like turbine monitoring.

2. Can I use this cable with any Bently Nevada accelerometer?
The 83387-096 mates to accelerometers with an MS 3100R-10SL-4P receptacle . Check your accelerometer's connector type before ordering. Most Bently Nevada accelerometers use this standard connector.

3. What is the purpose of the Viton insert in the connector?
Viton provides excellent chemical resistance and high-temperature performance. The Viton insert seals the connector against moisture and contaminants. It also maintains flexibility across the wide temperature range.

4. Why are the connector temperature ratings lower than the cable rating?
The cable itself uses mineral insulation rated to +1200°F . However, the connector materials (including Viton and potting compounds) have lower maximum temperatures. Therefore, the 83387-096 system limits apply to the connectors.

5. Is this cable suitable for permanent outdoor installation?
Yes, the stainless steel overbraid and potted connectors provide excellent environmental protection. However, verify that all connection points remain within the specified temperature range. For outdoor use, protect the disconnect interface from direct weather exposure.
