Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the exact output signal format of the 200350-02-00-CN?

It outputs a single-ended voltage signal proportional to acceleration, typically 100 mV/g.

2. Is the sensor suitable for permanent installation in outdoor environments?

Yes, it features an IP68-rated, hermetically sealed design suitable for outdoor and submerged installations.

3. Can the sensor be mounted in any orientation?

Yes, although vertical mounting on the rotating axis provides the most sensitive measurement. Orientation may affect output slightly due to gravitational effects.

4. Is this sensor compatible with older Bently Nevada systems?

Absolutely. It integrates well with 3500 series racks and other legacy systems.

5. What is the effect of cable length on signal integrity?

Cable runs of up to 300 meters are supported with low-noise shielded cable; ensure compliance with current drive limitations.

6. Can this model be used in ATEX or IECEx certified zones?

Not this specific CN variant; for explosive environments, choose a 200350 model with EX certification.

7. How often should this sensor be recalibrated?

Annual recalibration is recommended to maintain traceable accuracy, especially in critical safety systems.

8. Does it include an internal temperature sensor?

No, this model does not provide internal temperature monitoring.

9. Is the mounting hardware included with the sensor?

Standard mounting studs and locking washers are typically sold separately or included in installation kits.

10. What tools are needed for installation?

A torque wrench, cleaning solution, and threadlocker (Loctite) are recommended for optimal mounting.
