Bently Nevada 200150-12-05 General Purpose Accelerometer for Trendmaster 2000/Pro

Product Overview

When vibration monitoring systems fail to deliver accurate data, machinery health assessments become unreliable. The Bently Nevada 200150-12-05 accelerometer addresses this challenge directly. Designed for use with Trendmaster 2000 or Trendmaster Pro systems, this general purpose accelerometer provides dependable vibration measurement in industrial environments. Its robust construction and multiple approvals make it a trusted choice for continuous monitoring applications.

Key Specifications

The 200150-12-05 includes a mounting stud option of 3/8-24 to 1/4-20 UNC with a 3/4 inch hex stud. It carries multiple approvals including CSA, ATEX, and IECEx, ensuring compliance with international safety standards. The accelerometer features a mounted resonant frequency greater than 20 kHz (>1200 kcpm) and a quiescent current of less than 800 µA. These specifications support reliable performance in demanding conditions.

Industry Applications

This accelerometer excels in general purpose vibration monitoring for rotating machinery such as pumps, fans, compressors, and motors. In petrochemical plants, the multiple approvals allow installation in hazardous areas without additional certification concerns. For power generation facilities, the wide frequency response and low quiescent current ensure accurate data transmission over long cable runs. The Trendmaster 2000 compatibility simplifies integration into existing monitoring networks.

Installation Guidance

Proper mounting is critical for accurate vibration readings. The 200150-12-05 uses a 3/8-24 female mounting thread. When installing, apply the recommended mounting torque to ensure secure attachment without damaging the sensor. Use the provided stud adapter (3/8-24 to 1/4-20 UNC) for compatibility with standard mounting holes. Verify the cable connection is tight and protected from moisture. Allow the system to stabilize before taking baseline measurements.

Maintenance & Reliability

Regular inspection of the accelerometer and its mounting is essential for long-term reliability. Check for signs of corrosion or loosening, especially in high-vibration or harsh environments. The hermetically sealed design protects against moisture ingress, but periodic verification of cable integrity is recommended. For critical machinery, schedule calibration checks according to the manufacturer's guidelines to maintain measurement accuracy.

Selection Guide

Before purchasing the 200150-12-05, verify that your monitoring system is compatible with Trendmaster 2000 or Trendmaster Pro interfaces. Confirm the mounting thread requirements match your installation points. For applications requiring specific approvals, the "05" approval code covers CSA, ATEX, and IECEx.
