Industrial Applications
Turbomachinery Monitoring
Extend proximity probe reach in steam turbines, gas turbines, and centrifugal compressors where sensor mounting locations are distant from monitoring equipment.
Power Generation
Connect proximity sensors on generators, turbines, and auxiliary equipment to centralized monitoring systems without signal degradation.
Oil & Gas Processing
Deploy in compressor stations, pump systems, and rotating equipment in harsh refinery and offshore environments.
Retrofit Projects
Add vibration monitoring to existing equipment where cable routing requires extended lengths beyond standard probe cables.
Installation Guidelines
Best Practices
- Cable Routing – Maintain 300mm minimum separation from power lines to prevent EMI
- Bend Radius – Avoid sharp bends (minimum 50mm radius) to prevent shield damage
- Grounding – Ground cable shield at Proximitor end only (avoid ground loops)
- Connector Seating – Ensure connectors are fully seated and locked
- Cable Support – Use supports every 500mm to prevent vibration-induced fatigue
- Testing – Verify signal integrity before commissioning
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Noisy signal | Poor shield grounding | Verify shield connection, check for ground loops |
| Intermittent readings | Loose connector | Re-seat connectors, verify locking mechanism |
| No signal | Cable damage | Inspect for cuts or kinks, test continuity |
| Erratic measurements | EMI interference | Reroute away from power lines, verify shielding |

FAQ
Q: What is the maximum cable length for proximity systems?
A: Consult Bently Nevada documentation for your specific system. Excessive length causes signal attenuation.
Q: Can I use this with non-Bently Nevada sensors?
A: Not recommended. Cable is engineered for Bently Nevada system impedance and specifications.
Q: How do I ground the cable shield?
A: Ground shield at Proximitor end only. Never ground both ends to avoid ground loops.
Q: Can I repair a damaged cable?
A: No. Replace damaged cables immediately to maintain signal integrity and safety.
