Installation & Troubleshooting FAQ

Q1: What are the maximum length limitations when deploying this armored cable in the field?

A: The 16710 series supports field wiring deployment lengths up to a maximum continuous baseline of 305 meters (1,000 feet). Bently Nevada certifies that routing signals up to this threshold causes no measurable degradation of signal or loss of high-frequency machine monitoring data.

Q2: What are the exact terminal lug pin assignments on the open field end of this assembly?

A: The transducer end locks onto the 3-pin MIL-C-5015 header. The panel termination lugs break out as follows: Pin A maps to the SIG (Signal) line, Pin B maps to the COM (Common) baseline, and Pin C maps to the VTG (Power supply voltage) path, while the underlying tinned braided drain shielding routes directly to the chassis ground plate.

Q3: How do I handle physical installation steps to avoid creating false vibration noise?

A: Armored cables are heavy and susceptible to mechanical resonance if left loose. You must clamp the interlocking stainless steel armor tightly to static brackets or machine frames along its path; any unsupported swaying section will slam against nearby structures, generating severe high-frequency noise spikes that the accelerometer will misread as real machine vibration.
