Bently Nevada 200152-15-CN Accelerometer Interface Cable, 15m, IP67

Product Overview

When unplanned downtime strikes due to undetected machinery faults, the Bently Nevada 200152-15-CN accelerometer interface cable provides a reliable link between your vibration sensor and monitoring system. This standard cable, with a connector on the accelerometer end only, ensures accurate signal transmission even in the toughest conditions. Part of the trusted Bently Nevada 200151 series, it delivers the durability and performance needed for continuous asset protection.

Technical Specifications

The 200152-15-CN is built for demanding industrial applications. Key specifications include:

Model: 200151 – Accelerometer Interface Standard Cable, connector on accelerometer end only.

Cable Length: 15 meters (part number suffix -15).

Coupling Nut: -CN = Country Specific.

Minimum Bend Radius: 73.7 mm (2.9 in).

Operating Temperature Range: -20 ºC to +100 ºC (-4 ºF to +212 ºF). These cables may be used at lower temperatures if the installation prevents flexing or bending. Flexing below –20 ºC may damage the cables.

Construction: 4-conductor, 22 AWG with braided shield and drain wire (85% coverage, minimum), PVC outer jacket. Nickel-plated coupling nuts.

Seal: Connectors provide an IP67 seal to transducers and mating hardware. Connectors are molded to the cable. The addition of DC4 electrical insulating compound provides additional protection against moisture during thermal shock.

Temperature Range (DC4 compound): -55 ºC to +121 ºC (-67 ºF to +250 ºF). Cure time: 24 hours.

These specifications directly impact your bottom line. The robust 4-conductor, 22 AWG construction with 85% braided shield minimizes signal noise, reducing false alarms and maintenance costs. The IP67 seal prevents moisture ingress, extending cable life and lowering replacement frequency. The wide operating temperature range ensures reliable performance in extreme environments, avoiding costly downtime.

Industry Applications

The 200152-15-CN excels in vibration monitoring for critical rotating machinery such as turbines, compressors, pumps, and motors. In a petrochemical plant, for example, this cable connects accelerometers on high-speed compressors to the monitoring system, enabling early detection of bearing wear or imbalance. This proactive approach reduces unplanned repairs and extends equipment life, delivering significant ROI through reduced maintenance spend and increased production uptime.

In power generation, the cable's IP67 seal and wide temperature range make it ideal for outdoor installations on gas or steam turbines. Reliable signal transmission ensures accurate data for condition-based maintenance, helping operators avoid catastrophic failures and optimize maintenance schedules.

Installation & Setup Guidance

Proper installation maximizes cable performance and longevity. Follow these guidelines:

Avoid bending the cable tighter than the minimum bend radius of 73.7 mm (2.9 in) to prevent internal damage.

When routing, secure the cable to avoid flexing, especially in temperatures below -20 ºC. Use cable ties or clamps at regular intervals.

Ensure the connector is fully tightened to achieve the IP67 seal. Apply the DC4 insulating compound as specified for thermal shock protection.

Verify that the coupling nut (-CN) matches your region's requirements to ensure compatibility with mating hardware.

Maintenance & Reliability

Routine inspection of the cable and connectors helps maintain reliability. Periodically check for physical damage, such as cuts or abrasions on the PVC jacket. Inspect connectors for corrosion or moisture ingress. If the cable is exposed to extreme temperatures or chemicals, increase inspection frequency. The IP67 seal and molded connectors reduce maintenance needs, but visual checks remain essential for long-term cost savings.

Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice

Before ordering the 200152-15-CN, verify your accelerometer connector type and system requirements. This cable features a connector on the accelerometer end only; confirm that your monitoring system accepts the other end. The 15-meter length suits most installations, but ensure your layout does not require longer runs. For complete technical specifications, please contact BluePLC Industrial.
