The 991-06-XX-01-05 MOD:164113-01 is a Bently Nevada loop-powered thrust transmitter featuring an integrated Proximitor sensor. Fully compatible with 3300 NSv proximity probes, this unit works seamlessly with industrial machinery control systems to deliver reliable 4 to 20 mA proportional axial displacement monitoring and robust hazardous area protection.
High-Resolution Measurement
• Axial Displacement Range: 0.6-0-0.6 mm measurement range for precise thrust position monitoring.
• 4-20 mA Output: Industry-standard proportional signal for seamless integration with control systems.
• Diagnostic Capability: Non-isolated PROX OUT and coaxial connector provide dynamic vibration and gap voltage signals.
• Loop Adjustment: Non-interacting zero and span potentiometers under the label for accurate calibration.
• Test Input Pin: Enables quick verification of loop signal output using variable DC voltage source.
• Signal Integrity: Power-up inhibit and Not OK/Signal Defeat circuits prevent errors from transients or faulty probes.
