Features:
- Enhanced Coupling Nut for Secure Installation
- Sensor-End-Only Configuration for Flexible System Design
- IP67 Sealing for Harsh Industrial Environments
The Bently Nevada 200152-15-10 is equipped with a -10 enhanced coupling nut that provides superior grip compared to standard nuts. This design allows maintenance personnel to firmly tighten the connection even while wearing heavy gloves, reducing the risk of loosening due to continuous machine vibration.
Unlike double-ended cables, the Bently Nevada 200152-15-10 features a connector only on the accelerometer end. This gives engineers the freedom to terminate the opposite end directly into a junction box, terminal strip, or custom hardwired interface, simplifying field wiring and reducing potential failure points.
When properly mated to a compatible Bently Nevada accelerometer, the Bently Nevada 200152-15-10 achieves IP67 ingress protection. This means the connection is fully dust-tight and can withstand temporary immersion in water, making it ideal for washdown areas, outdoor installations, and high-humidity environments such as paper mills or offshore platforms.
The 200152-15-10 Bently Nevada Accelerometer Interface Standard Cable may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Temperature Limits for Safe Use:The Bently Nevada 200152-15-10 is rated for continuous operation from -20°C to +100°C. However, the cable must not be bent or flexed when the ambient temperature falls below -20°C, as the PVC jacket becomes susceptible to cracking. Installation should always be performed at moderate temperatures.
- Mechanical Stress and Bend Radius:To maintain internal conductor integrity, the Bently Nevada 200152-15-10 must be installed with a minimum bend radius of 73.7 mm (2.9 inches). Tighter bends, especially near the connector, can cause intermittent signal loss or permanent cable damage over time.
- Humidity and Moisture Exposure:When fully mated, the connector on the Bently Nevada 200152-15-10 provides IP67 sealing, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and temporary immersion (up to 1 meter for 30 minutes). This allows the cable to be used in condensing environments, rain, or light spray without signal degradation.
- Flexing Restriction at Low Temperatures:A critical operational limit for the Bently Nevada 200152-15-10 is that it should never be flexed or moved when the temperature is below -20°C. In applications where the cable may be subject to repeated motion (e.g., trailing cable on a movable machine), the ambient temperature must remain above this threshold.
- Hazardous Area Compatibility (Intrinsic Safety)
While the Bently Nevada 200152-15-10 cable itself is not an approved device, it is designed for use with Bently Nevada accelerometers that carry ATEX/IECEx Ex ia IIC T4 (Zone 0/1) and CSA Class I, Division 1 certifications. When installed per drawing 167535 and connected to a properly certified barrier or isolator, the cable can be part of an intrinsically safe loop.
- Non-Incendive for Zone 2 / Class I, Division 2
For lower-risk hazardous areas (Zone 2 or Class I, Division 2), the Bently Nevada 200152-15-10 can be used with Ex nL or nA rated accelerometers (per drawing 167535). The cable's construction does not introduce additional ignition sources when properly terminated.
- Electrical Isolation Capability:The mating accelerometer (e.g., 200150 series) provides 600 Vrms electrical isolation between the sensor and mounting surface. The Bently Nevada 200152-15-10 maintains this isolation when correctly installed, protecting monitoring systems from ground loops and stray currents.
- Entity Parameter Limits for Safety Barriers:When used in an intrinsically safe system, the Bently Nevada 200152-15-10 must be connected to equipment respecting entity parameters: Ui ≤ 28V, Ii ≤ 120mA, Pi ≤ 1W. Cable parameters (Ci, Li) are negligible for the cable itself, but total system capacitance and inductance must be calculated per control drawing 167535.
- Permanent Vibration Monitoring on Rotating Machinery:The Bently Nevada 200152-15-10 is used to connect accelerometers to monitoring systems on compressors, turbines, pumps, and fans. Its 15-meter length allows sensors to be placed in optimal measurement locations while keeping electronics in safe, accessible areas.
- Retrofit Installations with Existing Junction Boxes:Because the Bently Nevada 200152-15-10 has a connector only at the sensor end, it is ideal for retrofits where a junction box or terminal strip already exists. The bare-wire or unterminated end can be directly landed on screw terminals, eliminating unnecessary connectors.
- Low-Temperature Outdoor Installations (Above -20°C):For wind turbines, outdoor process skids, or unheated pump houses, the Bently Nevada 200152-15-10 operates reliably down to -20°C. Installers must avoid bending the cable at extreme low temperatures, but once installed and static, the cable continues to function normally.
- High-Humidity and Washdown Areas:Paired with an IP67-rated accelerometer, the Bently Nevada 200152-15-10 maintains a moisture-tight seal, making it suitable for paper mills, food processing (non-sanitary areas), and marine engine rooms where condensation or periodic washdown occurs.
