Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of the Bently Nevada 9200-01-01-02-00?

A1: It measures machinery vibration velocity to detect faults, imbalances, or wear in rotating equipment.

Q2: Can it be used in explosive environments?

A2: Only if installed with proper certified protective housings and accessories approved for hazardous areas.

Q3: How is the sensor powered?

A3: It operates on an 18–30 VDC supply through a two-wire connection.

Q4: Is calibration required after installation?

A4: A one-time calibration check is recommended before commissioning, but frequent recalibration is generally not needed.

Q5: What is the difference between velocity and acceleration sensors?

A5: Velocity sensors like this one are better for general machine condition monitoring, while accelerometers are used for high-frequency fault detection.

Q6: Can the sensor be mounted on any axis?

A6: Yes, but the sensitivity and frequency response should match the monitoring requirements.

Q7: What maintenance does it require?

A7: Periodic visual inspection of mounting integrity and cable condition is sufficient.

Q8: Is it waterproof?

A8: Yes, with IP65 protection, it is resistant to dust and water spray.

Q9: What monitoring systems is it compatible with?

A9: It is fully compatible with Bently Nevada vibration monitoring and protection systems.
