Technical Specifications

Installation & Maintenance

1. Gap Calibration: Set the probe gap to -10.0 Vdc (center of linear range) using a multimeter for optimal signal accuracy.

2. Vibration Control: The 12.4-inch depth requires the use of the anti-resonance sleeve to prevent signal noise caused by probe stem vibration.

3. Sealing: Use NPT fittings and industrial sealant to maintain the explosion-proof integrity of the 21000-16-10-00-124-03-02 assembly.

Engineering Advantages

This Bently Nevada 21000 series assembly offers superior resistance to corrosive oils and industrial environments. It ensures seamless integration with 3300 XL Proximitor systems and provides high-reliability data for critical overspeed and vibration protection.
