Bently Nevada 170180-02-00 External Transducer I/O Module

FAQ

Q1: What is the main role of the 170180‑02‑00 module?
A1: It provides external transducer input/output capability, letting two velocity probes connect into the FieldMonitor protection system for signal acquisition and monitoring.

Q2: How many transducers can it interface with?
A2: It supports two channels, so two velocity transducers can be connected (one per channel).

Q3: What is the frequency performance of this module?
A3: It maintains less than 5% error for frequencies above 25 kHz, suitable for high‑speed vibration signals.

Q4: What is the module’s weight and size?
A4: It weighs about 0.277 kg and its housing dimensions are around 125 mm × 21 mm × 105 mm.

Q5: What is the operating temperature range?
A5: The module works reliably from –40 °C to +85 °C.

Q6: What input current does it draw without transducers connected?
A6: With no transducer load, it draws up to 2.0 mA.

Q7: What is the current limit setting?
A7: The current limit for transducer outputs is between 33.6 mA and 37.6 mA at 25 °C.

Q8: Can this module be used in hazardous locations?
A8: Yes — it’s rated for Ex nA IIC T4, making it acceptable for Class I Zone 2 or Division 2 environments.
