177230-00-01-05 | Bently Nevada | Seismic Transmitter

### Product Description
The 177230-00-01-05 is a permanently mounted, intrinsically safe seismic transmitter designed for continuous vibration monitoring in hazardous areas.
Moreover, it converts mechanical vibration into a standardized 4–20 mA output signal for integration with distributed control systems and asset protection relays.
Therefore, it supports real-time machinery health assessment in critical rotating equipment installations where explosion-proof operation is mandatory.

### Technical Specifications

### Typical Applications
– Monitoring vibration on centrifugal compressors in Class I, Division 1 hazardous locations
– Continuous surveillance of steam turbine bearing housings in refineries and petrochemical plants
– Integration with Bently Nevada 3500/40M or System 1 platforms for machinery protection

### FAQ
What certifications does this transmitter hold?
It is certified for Class I, Division 1, Groups B, C, and D; ATEX II 2G Ex db IIB T4 Gb; and IECEx Ex db IIB T4 Gb.

Is the unit compatible with standard 4–20 mA loop-powered systems?
Yes, it operates on a 12–30 VDC loop-powered supply and delivers a linear 4–20 mA output proportional to velocity.

Can it be used with non-Bently Nevada monitoring systems?
Yes, provided the receiving system accepts a 4–20 mA input with appropriate isolation and power supply compliance.

Does it require external power conditioning?
No, it includes built-in reverse polarity and overvoltage protection and requires no external power conditioner.
