Installation Guide

Follow these steps to install the Bently Nevada 83387-100 correctly.

1. Inspect the Cable: Check for any damage to the stainless steel overbraid.

2. Identify Connectors: Locate the MS 3100R-10SL-4P (accelerometer end) and MS 3106-10SL-4S (interface end).

3. Connect to Accelerometer: Mate the MS 3100R-10SL-4P connector to the accelerometer receptacle.

4. Secure the Connection: Ensure the Viton insert provides proper sealing.

5. Route the Cable: Guide the 100-inch cable along protected pathways.

6. Avoid Sharp Bends: The stainless steel overbraid resists damage but needs care.

7. Connect to Interface Module: Mate the MS 3106-10SL-4S connector to the disconnect interface.

8. Verify Temperature Exposure: Ensure ambient temperatures stay within rated limits.

9. Secure the Cable: Use appropriate clamps to prevent vibration damage.

10. Test Signal Integrity: Verify accelerometer signal passes through the cable.

Installation Notes

• Do not exceed 1200°F at the cable body.

• The accelerometer connector maximum is 800°F.

• Mineral insulation provides superior high-temperature performance.

• This is hardline construction, not softline with teflon tubing.

• The Viton insert provides chemical resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the maximum temperature rating for the 83387-100 hardline cable?
The Bently Nevada 83387-100 cable withstands -65°F to +1200°F (-54°C to +649°C). The connectors are rated to 800°F maximum.

2. What is the difference between hardline and softline cables?
Hardline cables like Bently Nevada 83387-100 use mineral insulation and stainless steel overbraid. Softline cables use teflon tubing. Hardline handles much higher temperatures (1200°F vs 400°F).

3. What connectors does this hardline cable use?
The accelerometer end uses MS 3100R-10SL-4P with a Viton insert. The interface end uses MS 3106-10SL-4S.

4. What is the length of the 83387-100 cable?
The Bently Nevada 83387-100 has a length of 100 inches. The -100 suffix in the part number indicates this length.

5. Is this cable compatible with all Bently Nevada accelerometers?
The 83387-100 mates to accelerometers with MS 3100R-10SL-4P receptacle. Check your accelerometer connector type before ordering.
