Hardware Specifications

Eddy-Current Probe Scaling and Cross-Talk Suppression

The Bently Nevada 170180-01-05 routes analog signals from Proximitor sensors and accelerometers directly to the 1701/15 processing core. Internal shielding and channel-to-channel isolation provide active cross-talk suppression during multi-axis shaft displacement monitoring. Furthermore, the input circuitry maintains linear eddy-current probe scaling across dynamic vibration frequencies while preserving target -10 VDC gap voltage bias readings during static shaft displacement measurement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do field technicians configure Channel A and Channel B input types?

A: Internal hardware jumpers on the module select between -24 VDC Proximitor proximity probe inputs or accelerometer transducer signals for each individual channel.

Q: Can this module be hot-swapped within the FieldMonitor Terminal Base during active operation?

A: No, power to the terminal base slot must be isolated prior to insertion or removal to prevent electrical transients from disrupting adjacent monitoring channels.

Field Installation Guidelines

• First, inspect the terminal base connector pins and verify that the FieldMonitor slot is free from debris before inserting the module.
• Next, set the internal hardware jumpers on the board to match the connected transducer type (-24 VDC Proximitor or Accelerometer) for Channel A and Channel B.
• Additionally, slide the module into its assigned single slot on the FieldMonitor terminal base and tighten the captive retention screws to ensure proper grounding.
• Finally, terminate field sensor signal leads and shield wiring at the dedicated terminal block, grounding the shield at a single point to prevent circulating ground loops.
