    Core Features & Advantages

    • Armored Construction for Mechanical Protection: The cable features stainless steel or galvanized steel interlocked armor that protects internal wiring from abrasion, crushing forces, and rodent damage in cable trays and conduit runs. This is essential in harsh industrial environments where sensors are exposed to sharp objects and moving machinery .

    • Superior EMI/RFI Protection: The 3-conductor shielded design with 95% braided tinned copper coverage eliminates electromagnetic interference in electrically noisy environments such as motor control centers and VFD installations. This ensures the 4-20 mA or voltage signals from accelerometers remain uncorrupted .

    • Secure Factory Terminations: One end features a 3-socket plug for secure connection to the accelerometer, while the other end has terminal lugs for direct connection to monitor terminal blocks. Pre-terminated connectors maintain precise impedance matching and eliminate field wiring errors .

    • Oil and Chemical Resistance: The flame-retardant PVC jacket with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation provides resistance to oil, chemicals, and moisture, making the cable suitable for petrochemical plants, offshore platforms, and other corrosive environments .

    Typical Applications

    The 16710-30 is widely used for routing vibration and seismic signals from critical rotating machinery to monitoring racks in heavy industries :

    • Power Generation: Steam turbines, gas turbines, and generators

    • Oil & Gas: Centrifugal compressors, pumps, and fans in refineries and offshore platforms

    • Heavy Industry: Mining equipment, steel mills, and large industrial blowers

    • Seismic Monitoring: Connecting 177230 Seismic Transmitters to protection systems

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    Q1: What sensors is the 16710-30 compatible with?
    A: It is designed for Bently Nevada 330400 and 330425 accelerometers, as well as 177230 Seismic Transmitters .

    Q2: Can this cable be used with Proximitor sensors?
    A: No. The 16710-30 is optimized for accelerometers and seismic transmitters. Proximitor sensors require different coaxial or 3-wire extension cables (such as the 330130 series) due to differing pin-out requirements .

    Q3: What is the maximum cable length available in the 16710 series?
    A: The 16710 series is available in lengths from 3 feet (0.9 meters) to 99 feet (30 meters) .

    Q4: What is the operating temperature range?
    A: The cable operates from -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F), making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations .

    Q5: Why is armored cable necessary for accelerometers?
    A: Industrial sensors are often exposed to sharp objects, moving parts, and heavy foot traffic. The armored shield prevents wire damage that could cause a machine trip or loss of critical vibration data .

    Q6: Is the armor grounded at both ends?
    A: No. Proper installation requires grounding the armor at only one end to prevent ground loops. Consult your system installation manual for specific grounding requirements .

    Q7: What is the minimum bend radius for installation?
    A: The minimum bend radius is 2.5 inches (63.5 mm) for static installation .

    Q8: Can this cable be used with non-Bently Nevada monitoring systems?
    A: While physically compatible with standard connectors, optimal performance requires impedance-matched systems. Consult your monitor manufacturer's specifications to verify compatibility .
