Bently 990-04-70-01-00

Product Introduction
The 990-04-70-01-00 is a precision Proximitor transmitter manufactured by Bently Nevada. It is a critical component in the 3300 XL mechanical protection system, designed to accept signals from Bently 3300 XL proximity probes and extension cables. It processes the raw high-frequency signal and converts it into a standardized 4-20 mA current loop signal for integration with DCS or PLC systems.

  • Current Loop Range: 0-4 mils pp = 4-20 mA
  • Proximity Range: 10 – 65 mils

Material Composition
Industrial-grade electronic components housed in a robust metallic enclosure designed for harsh environments.

Structural Characteristics
Compact module designed for DIN rail mounting or panel integration, featuring clearly labeled terminal blocks.

Working Principle
Receives high-frequency impedance variations from the eddy current probe, demodulates the signal, and outputs a proportional 4-20 mA current representing the vibration amplitude.

Installation Requirements
Must be installed in a dry environment. Ensure proper grounding and use shielded cables compatible with Bently specifications to prevent electrical noise interference.

Usage Precautions
Connecting grounded AC-powered equipment to the Prox output may cause false alarms. Always use the recommended test adapter when working with AC equipment.
