Overview Manuals Specifications Use Cases Monitoring & Control Compatibility & Interoperability

Features:

  • Direct Vibration Interface Between 3300 NSv Proximity Probe and Machinery Control System
  • Combines Integrated Proximitor Sensor Capability with 4-20 mA Signal Conditioning
  • Meets Multi-Agency Certification Requirements with CSA, ATEX, and ABS Maritime Approvals
The Bently Nevada 990-04-70-01-05 Vibration Transmitter operates as a two-wire, loop-powered device, providing a reliable 4 to 20 mA proportional output directly to control systems for machinery protection. It continuously processes raw displacement input from a 3300 NSv proximity probe and matching extension cable, converting peak-to-peak shaft vibration into a standardized current loop signal across its 0 to 4 mils peak-to-peak (0 to 100 μm peak-to-peak) full-scale range. Built for harsh operating environments, the potted enclosure handles high moisture up to 100% condensing while an integrated Not OK/Signal Defeat circuit prevents false alarm triggers caused by wiring faults or probe failures.

The Bently Nevada 990-04-70-01-05 Vibration Transmitter provides essential vibration monitoring functions for rotating machinery, serving as a key element in the protection path by supplying accurate amplitude data for alarming and shutdown logic. The transmitter is calibrated specifically for a total system length of 7.0 meters (23.0 feet) to match the transducer assembly. Equipped with 35 mm DIN rail clips, the compact housing simplifies cabinet installation near target machinery, making it particularly well suited for OEM equipment like centrifugal air compressors, small pumps, and fans with tight spatial clearances.

For diagnostic and field maintenance applications, the Bently Nevada 990-04-70-01-05 Vibration Transmitter provides accessible test and tuning features directly on the unit. In addition to standard loop transmission, non-interacting zero and span potentiometers beneath the front label allow precise signal adjustments without cross-talk. The transmitter incorporates a dedicated Test Input pin to verify loop output using an external function generator, alongside non-isolated PROX OUT and COM terminals plus a coaxial connector. Through these diagnostic connections, field personnel can analyze dynamic vibration waveforms and gap voltages without disrupting the primary control loop.

The 990-04-70-01-05 Bently Nevada Vibration Transmitter may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Bently Nevada 990-04-70-01-05 Vibration Transmitter Specs

General

  • Manufacturer Bently Nevada
  • Model 990-04-70-01-05
  • Condition New Original ready stock
  • Product Family 990-04-70-01-01,990-04-70-01-00
Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
  • Centrifugal Air Compressors: Ideal for compact installations where space is limited around the machine housing.
  • Industrial Pumps & Fans: Provides continuous condition monitoring to detect early shaft unbalance, misalignment, or bearing wear.
  • Small Motors & Blowers: Monitors general-purpose machinery that does not justify the high cost of a continuous rack-mounted protection system.
  • Maritime & Offshore Assets: Safe for installation on ships, drilling rigs, and offshore platforms due to its ABS maritime certification.
  • Hazardous Locations: Approved for Zone 0, Zone 2, and Division 2 environments, making it suitable for chemical processing and oil and gas facilities.
  • Signal Processing: It conditions raw proximity signals into a proportional 4–20 mA current loop output, representing peak-to-peak vibration amplitude.
  • Direct Control Integration: The 4–20 mA output connects directly to control hardware, allowing users to configure safety alarms, trend data, and set up automated machine shutdown logic.
  • On-Site Diagnostics: The transmitter features non-isolated "PROX OUT" and "COM" terminals, plus a coaxial connector. This allows maintenance teams to connect portable analyzers and view dynamic vibration waveforms without disrupting the main control loop.
  • False Trip Prevention: Includes a built-in "Not OK / Signal Defeat" circuit. If a probe fails, disconnects, or short-circuits, the transmitter drops its output current below 4 mA to flag a hardware error rather than triggering a false machine trip.
  • Sensor & Cable Matching: This specific model must be paired exclusively with a Bently Nevada 3300 NSv proximity probe and its matching extension cable.
  • System Length Tuning: The "70" option requires the total combined length of the probe and extension cable to equal exactly 7.0 meters to maintain calibrated measurement accuracy.
  • Automation System Interoperability: The linear 4–20 mA output ensures seamless communication with a wide variety of process control platforms.
  • Power Requirements: It operates reliably on standard industrial loop power, accepting a wide voltage range of +12 to +35 Vdc.
Description
The Bently Nevada 990-04-70-01-05 Vibration Transmitter is designed for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of centrifugal air compressors, small pumps, motors, or fans who require a simple and reliable 4–20 mA vibration signal input for their machinery control systems. It converts vibration motion into a proportional peak-to-peak engineering unit signal, making it easy to integrate with existing control and protection logic.

This 990-04-70-01-05 transmitter offers a full-scale range of 0–4 mils peak-to-peak (0–100 μm), with a linear prox output range of 1.4 mm (55 mils) beginning approximately 0.25 mm (10 mils) from the target surface. Zero and span adjustments are non-interacting and externally accessible, allowing precise calibration in the field without disturbing other system parameters.

The 990 model features a system length of 7.0 meters (23.0 feet) and is equipped with 35 mm DIN rail mounting clips for straightforward installation. It also includes non-isolated PROX OUT and COM terminals, along with a coaxial connector for dynamic vibration and gap voltage signal output, enabling detailed diagnostics in addition to standard 4–20 mA output.

Engineered for harsh industrial environments, this transmitter supports a wide storage temperature range from -52°C to +100°C (-62°F to +212°F). It comes with multiple agency approvals including CSA Division 2, ATEX Zone 0 and Zone 2, as well as ABS maritime certification, ensuring compliance and reliability across global applications.
