Bently Nevada 177230 Seismic Transmitter

The Bently Nevada 177230 Seismic Transmitter is a cost-effective and straightforward device designed to monitor the impact of seismic activity on equipment. It translates ground vibrations into a proportional electrical signal for integration with monitoring systems.

Key Features:

  • Loop-Powered:

    • Operates on a standard 2-wire, 4-20mA loop.
    • Simplifies power supply and reduces wiring complexity.

  • Piezoelectric Sensor:

    • Uses a piezoelectric crystal to convert ground vibrations into an electrical signal.
    • Offers good sensitivity for detecting seismic activity.

  • Velocity Output:

    • Provides a 4-20mA signal proportional to the ground movement's overall velocity (typically 0-1 inch/second peak velocity).
    • Facilitates easy interpretation of seismic intensity.

  • Compact Design:

    • Small and lightweight, making installation simple in various locations around equipment.

  • Intrinsically Safe:

    • Meets intrinsic safety standards.
    • Suitable for use in hazardous environments with flammable materials.
